| Corrosion lab tests suggest need for underground gas tank retrofits Posted: 31 Jul 2014 12:00 PM PDT A hidden hazard lurks beneath many of the roughly 156,000 gas stations across the United States. The hazard is corrosion in parts of underground gas storage tanks -- corrosion that could result in failures, leaks and contamination of groundwater, a source of drinking water. In recent years, field inspectors in nine states have reported many rapidly corroding gas storage tank components such as sump pumps.  |
| Charging electric cars efficiently with inductive method Posted: 31 Jul 2014 06:47 AM PDT We already charge our toothbrushes and cellphones using contactless technology. Researchers have developed a particularly efficient and cost-effective method that means electric cars could soon follow suit.  |
| All-in-one energy system offers greener power for off–grid homes, farms and businesses Posted: 30 Jul 2014 06:38 AM PDT An innovative 'trigeneration' system fuelled entirely by raw plant oils could have great potential for isolated homes and businesses operating outside grid systems.  |
