How to Make Your Own Pinball Game
Pinball machines are some of the oldest arcade games in history. Dating back to the mid 1600s these games have evolved into the light flashing, ball bumping game we know today. The origins of pinball are intertwined with the history of many other games. Games played outdoors by rolling balls or stones on … Continue reading How to Make Your Own Pinball Game
Alarm System Batteries
Your alarm system battery supplies your home alarm with the backup power it requires to operate the system during a power outage. Most alarm panels operate on 12-volts, and use one of the few different sizes of sealed lead-acid battery. A security alarm battery drops to about 80% or less of its original rated … Continue reading Alarm System Batteries
Make Your Own Hydrogen Fuel Cell
A fuel cell is a cell that produces an electric current directly from a chemical reaction. hydrogen fuel cell is capable of producing electricity without any pollution because the only byproduct is pure water. Hydrogen fuel cells are the most common, used in spacecraft and other areas where there is a specific need for … Continue reading Make Your Own Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Bio-Batteries, A Step Closer to Clean Energy
Researchers from the University of East Anglia (UEA) are a step closer to enhancing the generation of clean energy from bacteria. A recently published report shows how electrons hop across otherwise electrically insulating areas of bacterial proteins, and that the rate of electron transfer is dependent on the orientation and proximity of electrically … Continue reading Bio-Batteries, A Step Closer to Clean Energy
Improving Battery Performance is as Simple as a Day at the Beach
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside Bourns College of Engineering have created a lithium ion battery that outperforms the current industry standard by three times, with the addition of common sand. "This is the holy grail -- a low cost, non-toxic, environmentally friendly way to produce high performance lithium ion battery anodes," … Continue reading Improving Battery Performance is as Simple as a Day at the Beach
