Electromagnetic Harvester could charge very low-powered devices

As in the adage of Sir Antoine Lavoisier, “in nature nothing is lost, nothing is gained, everything transforms,” the energy is in a continue movement. Being surrounded by electromagnetic fields wherever you go, as normally, somebody thought it could be a good source of energy. There were many ideas of harvesting energy. This time Dennis [...]

Fast Charging Time for Chevy Spark

The primarily inconvenience for an electric vehicle is the charge time. Now with the fast charging, a tremendous difference appeared. The Chevy spark is offering a fast charging option that will charge the vehicle in only 20 minutes. This mean it is more feasible to recharge each electric vehicle when is almost out of range. [...]
