Hydrogen ‘to become a viable alternative to petrol’ thanks to new process that makes gas behave like liquid

“The development has been to turn hydrides into fibres or beads, 30 times smaller than a human hair, through a process of electro-spinning. This produces a white tissue-like material that can be controlled to capture and release hydrogen.

The encapsulation process protects the hydrides from oxygen and water, prolonging their life and making it possible to handle them safely in air and because it behaves like a liquid, current infrastructure will need minimal modification.

‘You can use tankers to carry the material around,’ said Bennington. ‘You can take it to forecourts and then you can pump it into the vehicle and give the customer the same kind of experience they have now.’

All part of the reason Cella Energy believe their process could herald a new era of carbon-free motoring.

‘The experience that most people have now is using regular liquid fuels where it takes three minutes to fill your vehicle and then you can travel 300 miles,’ said Stephen Voller, Cella Energy’s CEO. ‘Now you can have exactly the same experience with hydrogen but you can’t have that experience with an electric car.’

The company said hydrogen could be an economically viable alternative to fossil fuels if the gas is produced with renewable energy sources like wind or solar. It has three times more energy than petrol per unit of weight and could power cars, planes and other vehicles that currently use hydrocarbons.”

Samsung begins mass production of ‘transparent’ LCD panel

“Samsung Electronics announced today that it began mass production of the 22-inch transparent LCD panel in March this year.

The panels come in two colors, the black-and-white type and the color type, and they have a contrast ratio of 500:1 with WSXGA+(1680*1050) resolution.

Compared with the conventional LCD panels that use back light unit (BLU) and have 5% transparency, Samsung’s transparent LCD panel boasts the world’s best transparency rate of over 20% for the black-and-white type and over 15% for the color type.

The transparent LCD panel has a high transparency rate, which enables a person to look right through the panel like glass, and it consumes 90% less electricity compared with a conventional LCD panel using back light unit.

It’s because a transparent LCD panel utilizes ambient light such as sun light, which consequently reduces the dependency on electricity for generating power. “

While the CDAS researchers are pleased with the results, they have yet to find an obvious application for two robots that can play tennis with each other.

One comment on YouTube seems to sum up their predicament: ‘The coolest stuff in the world is always the most useless.’

Băncile pentru locuințe au reușit să ia mai mulți bani de la populație

Dorința românilor de a avea o casă sau de a spori confortul celor deținute a extins afacerile celor două instituții care oferă astfel de servicii pe piața românească.

Creșterea economiilor popu­lației în timpul celor peste doi ani de criză cu circa cinci miliarde de euro s-a reflectat și asupra afacerilor băncilor pentru locuințe. BCR Banca pentru Locuințe (BCR BpL) a anunțat că anul trecut numărul de clienți i-a crescut cu 40%, ajungând la 190.000 de persoane, iar sumele depuse de aceștia în 2010 au depășit valoarea celor depuse în anii anteriori. „Faţă de finalul anului 2009, când depunerile clienţilor BCR BpL însumau circa 220 milioane lei, la finalul anului 2010, acestea au depăşit 480 milioane lei“, afirmă președintele acestei bănci, Alexandru Ciobanu.

Acordul cu FMI, la final: factură, realizări, minusuri

“Din punctul de vedere al costurilor împrumutului, România a făcut o alegere bună în momentul în care a cerut banii cu mult înaintea altora, crede Chideșciuc. „Noi plătim o rată de dobândă de 3-3,5%, în timp ce ţări din zona euro (Grecia, Irlanda) plătesc mai mult de 5%. Returnarea unei anumite părţi a banilor – cei cheltuiţi pentru salarii și pensii – va fi dificilă în perioada următoare şi va presupune costuri pentru întreaga ţară“, a adăugat Chideșciuc. “
