Nanotechnology for Alternative Energy Sources
Nanotechnology (sometimes referred to as simply Nanotech) is essentially the study of the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale (100 nanometers or smaller). The science of nanotechnology involves developing materials or devices with wide ranging applications including energy production. Creating devices smaller than 100 nanometers has led to the development of many new ways to harness, store, and transfer energy. Benefits of this new technology have already been utilised in a variety of mainstream designs offering increased efficiency of lighting and heating products and increased electrical storage capacity of devices.

Nuclear Fusion Alternative Energy
Nuclear fusion (fusion as in to fuse two or more nuclei together as opposed to conventional nuclear power plants that use fission – splitting atoms apart) as an alternative source of power has been in development for over 50 years. Since the huge potential energy output was first demonstrated using a hydrogen (fission/fusion) bomb detonated over the Marshall Islands in 1952. So nuclear fusion is well proven as a process, so why do we not now have fusion power plants providing enormous amounts of cheap, clean energy?

Energy from kites!
A popular childrens toy could well could provide the next breakthrough in renewable energy! After successful testing in one of Europe's top research centres with scientists from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, 10 kilowatts of power was produced by flying a giant kite tethered to a generator. 10 kilowatts of power is enough electricity to run 10 family homes, and all from a 10-sq metre kite. The researchers are planning to test a 50kW version in the near future, called Laddermill, eventually they hope to produce a version with multiple kites that could generate as much as 100 ...
