In a rare non-computing related patent filing discovered on Thursday, Apple proposes a wind turbine that generates electricity from converting heat energy rather than rotational energy created by the ...

A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S., is proposing the possibility of generating electricity using energy from ...

Let's review a bit of physics in preparation for Part 2 of our technology transfer series on page 28. All elements in a rotating body have a measure of kinetic energy. Simply stated, this is "energy ...

It's amazing that we can get electrical power just from the wind, but that's exactly what happens with a wind farm. It's a collection of wind turbines in a particular location with abundant wind. And ...

Kinetic energy is the energy of mass in motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it has because of its motion. New 'physics shortcut' lets laptops tackle quantum problems once reserved ...
