Pumped hydro storage is one of the most proven energy storage technologies we have. It comes with a range of benefits and it great for long term storage. However, it requires very specific geography that isn't always available. This is why RheEnergise have been working on a new high density fluid that can be used instead of water - providing 2.5 times the energy density!

Water desalination is a fascinating topic, as life needs fresh water, but most of it on earth has salt in. This video looks at another idea for water desalination, that is a scaled up version of a much older technology!

Bugatti recently announced the new Tourbillon, a hyper car that will surely set many records over the next year. However, most of the attention has been on the V16 engine that is under the hood - but people don't seem to be giving enough attention to the incredible electric motor and battery that are at the heart of it all. In this video we will see what innovations have taken place to allow such a powerful electric power train to fit inside this car.

This video explores the incredible designs of contra-rotating propellers. Although they were mostly popular in military applications of the past, due to the benefits of the toroidal propeller, they might be making an epic return. The toroidal propeller really came into the mainstream last year when MIT and Sharrow gave a new take on an older design. These have been shown to improve efficiency and reduce noise on boats, planes, and drones.

This video looks at a number of battery breakthroughs from Chinese battery manufacturer CATL. What they say they have achieved for lifespan and energy density is nothing short of amazing. They have used honeycomb designs and biomimicry to enable the use of lithium metal anodes and increase charging speeds. They say with the new condensed battery that they have even enabled electric flight.

This strange looking turbine caught my attention as I was scrolling through the news. It is by a company called TouchWind and used a single large blade. Not only that, but it tilts up and down depending on the wind speeds. The idea is for it to be used in offshore settings, with some incredible plans for how it could work. They are aiming to significantly reduce the costs of off shore wind energy, and maybe one day to compete with onshore wind and solar energy. To get to the bottom of this turbine, I spoke with engineers at TouchWind, as well as industry experts.

Lights use a lot of energy globally, about 15% of all electricity consumed! So, it makes sense that we should be doing it as efficiently as possible. LEDs have been a great option for this, as they are much more efficient than older incandescent bulbs. However, they are still much less efficient than they could be! Thankfully, nature has a bio-inspired option to help us, and it comes from the firefly (aka, glow-worm)!

Hydrogen fuel cells are a fantastic way to generate electricity from energy dense hydrogen, that can be produces using renewable energy. This means they are a great option for low carbon transportation, especially as the distances get longer! However, aviation has always been a challenge. Thankfully, ZeroAvia have been working on an amazing new technology: turbo charged air cooled high-temperature pem fuel cells. These have much higher power densities and therefore enable long distance hydrogen electric flight. I went to their labs to check it out!

Propellers are fundamental to transport all around the world and combine so many interesting engineering principles. This is why I have loved learning about new ones so much since reading about Toroidal propellers around a year ago. This video covers Cycloidal Propellers, with some specifics on the Voith Schneider Propeller and the ABB Dynafin. We will also check out Cyclotech and see how they are getting on using the cycloidal propellers for flight.

Energy storage is a huge sector, and growing at a rapid pace - largely due to the mass rollout of renewable energy. Lithium-ion batteries have a part to play in all of this, but they come with their own set of problems, including cost and the use of rare earth materials. This is why I am so interested in thermal batteries - using heat to store energy instead of chemical bonds. Antora energy have an incredible new way of doing this with solid carbon blocks and thermo-photovoltaic panels. So, I got in contact with them!

This video is an exploration into a resent rabbit hole I went down. I read about MIT's new desalination breakthrough on Reddit, and needed to learn more! The topic of desalination is an important one that is only becoming more critical and could be a lifeline for huge area of the world. As well as looking at the breakthrough, this video also touches on classical methods (multi-stage distillation and reverse osmosis) and a case study of where this could be used, Kiribati.

Whenever I saw videos of the world's fastest train, the SCMaglev from Japan, I always wondered why it had such a long nose? The front is much longer than other trains, but was this just for a futuristic look? Well, it turns out this nose has an important purpose that came from a unexpected natural origin, the kingfisher.

Transport is evolving, and so is the technology. Internal combustion engines and electric motors have seen many breakthroughs in the recent years, and this so called one-stroke engine really caught my attention. It uses a new swash plate design and opposed pistons to make the engine much smaller and lighter - but is it the future of transport, or a snake oil fraud?
The E-Rex engine from INNEngine is an opposed piston engine designed to be used as a range extender for hybrid electric vehicles.

Battery systems in electric vehicles are a key talking point due to their cost, weight, and the time it takes to recharge them. That's why I am so excited about this new breakthrough battery system from Influit Energy that could enable electric cars to be recharged in the same was as a combustion car, using the power of nano-fluids! This project is currently backed by NASA and DARPA and is definitely one to follow!

Aeromine Technologies have developed a new rooftop wind turbine that is apparently able to capture renewable energy cheaper than solar panels! In this video, we will look into their scientific papers to see how the system works, and whether it is really cheaper than rooftop solar.

When heating is required, they make much more sense than lithium-ion batteries as they are cheaper, use no critical materials, last longer, and are just as efficient! Therefore, the Rondo heat battery can end battery storage as an option for heat applications!
Thanks to everyone at Rondo Energy for their time and I wish them all the best in the future!

I have been fascinated with nuclear fusion for a few years now and love finding out about new breakthroughs in the area. However, things are not always sunshine and rainbows, and in this video I wanted to look at the tritium shortages the sector faces. If these problems aren't resolved, this could be the end of the pursuit for commercial fusion energy.

Gravity industries are known for their jet suits which uses kerosene to fly through the sky. Their jet suits are being tested for military and rescue mission around the world, but now they are trying to make an electric jet suit using batteries and electric motors!
Special thanks to Archie Sandberg from Gravity Industries for taking time to answer my questions!

Nuclear waste is a commonly sited challenge for nuclear fission energy, which is a shame because nuclear is a low carbon and safe method of energy production (when done responsibly). The hardest to deal with waste is high level nuclear waste, which is what China's new lab is looking to solve.
