Batteriser Extends Battery Life

This fantastic little gadget will please a lot of people. How often are people left frustrated by how little time a battery takes to run out, leaving you frantically searching the house for a spare. Well, you will now be able to depend on your average battery a whole lot more thanks to the Batteriser. This nifty device claims to extend any given disposable battery life by up to 800%, and fortunately will retail for as little as £1.60.

The gadget is essentially a sleeve for batteries, being 0.1mm thick and working by restoring the power of fading batteries back to their fully functioning 1.5v.

1.5v is the trigger point for batteries. Once a battery fails to maintain that level the battery will stop working, leaving you with a worthless battery despite having 80% of their power still in them. 

Normally, when a battery drops below 1.5v, it stops working in most gadgets – so we throw away batteries with 80% of their power left unused.

The Batteriser restores the battery to it original level, thus extending the life of the battery. Pretty simple, but brilliantly effective.

Bob Roohparvar of Batteriser said, "The Batteriser has boost circuitry that will boost the voltage from 0.6 volts to 1.5 volts and will maintain voltage at 1.5 – which is a brand new battery."

The company is actively seeking funding and is due to launch later in the year.

New record energy efficiency for artificial photosynthesis

As the world moves towards developing new avenues of renewable energy, the efficiencies of producing fuels such as hydrogen must increase to the point that they rival or exceed those of conventional energy sources to make them a viable alternative. Now researchers at Monash University in Melbourne claim to have created a solar-powered device that produces hydrogen at a world-record 22 percent efficiency, which is a significant step towards making cheap, efficient hydrogen production a reality. Efficiency records for solar-powered hydrogen production have continued to rise over the years, and much more rapidly as the technology and techniques improve. Even as late as December last year  Gizmag reported  a solar-driven hydrogen record efficiency at the time of just 12.3 percent, so this new record shows a very healthy 10 percent improvement on that and beats out the previous record of 18 percent. Splitting water using electricity to produce hydrogen and oxygen has been a...

The Japanese skateboard

A Japanese engineer just invented a nifty new way to travel: A transporter called a “WalkCar” that’s small, light and apparently easy to use. The product is battery powered and is about the size of a laptop. And although it looks like it can hold much weight and is made from aluminum, it can apparently have as much as 265 lbs on board. VentureBeat  reported  that it can go up to 6.2 miles per hour for up to 7.4 miles. It needs three hours to charge.

Water purification: Running fuel cells on bacteria to purify water

Researchers in Norway have succeeded in getting bacteria to power a fuel cell. The "fuel" used is wastewater, and the products of the process are purified water droplets and electricity. This is an environmentally-friendly process for the purification of water derived from industrial processes and suchlike. It also generates small amounts of electricity -- in practice enough to drive a small fan, a sensor or a light-emitting diode. In the future, the researchers hope to scale up this energy generation to enable the same energy to be used to power the water purification process , which commonly consists of many stages, often involving mechanical and energy-demanding decontamination steps at its outset. Nature's own generator The biological fuel cell is powered by entirely natural processes -- with the help of living microorganisms. "In simple terms, this type of fuel cell works because the bacteria consume the waste materials found in the water," explains SINTEF...
