Living Ink Solar Panels Could Power Small Devices.
Cyanobacteria have been around for billions of years. They manufacture their own food through photosynthesis, absorbing solar light and turning it into energy. Much like plants, they release oxygen in the process, and their presence may have changed our atmosphere so much that bigger creatures could eventually breathe and thrive on Earth. Now, they’re being used to create tiny bio solar panels

This Is The World’s First Fully Solar Train - In Byron Bay Australia

Custom curved solar panels on the roof of the train send power to a set of batteries that replace one diesel engine; the other engine is still in place and can provide backup power in an emergency. As the train brakes, it generates more electricity, like a hybrid car. At a train station, the train can be plugged in to pull more power from solar panels on the roof. If there’s a long period without sun – somewhat unlikely in this part of the world–the train can also plug in to get renewable energy from the local grid.

“The large solar array on the platform roof coupled with the custom curved solar panels on the train roof produce more solar energy per day than is required to operate an hourly return service,” says Holmes. With one full charge, the train can make 12 to 15 trips.

Volunteers fully restored the train to its vintage condition to attract more riders–which should take more cars off city streets. The train fits 100 seated passengers, with room for more to stand, and also has a luggage room for bikes and surfboards. A ride costs a little more than $2 (three Aussie dollars).

Tesla battery races to save Australia grid from coal plant crash – injecting 7MW in milliseconds

Tesla batteries and the Hornsdale Power Reserve specifically, are doing exactly what they are intended to do. It is another nail in the coffin for fossil fuel based power plants, which could never react to changes on the grid so quickly.
