A 19th-century idea might lead to cleaner cars, larger-scale renewable energy. Some engineers are dusting off an old idea for storing energy—using electricity to liquefy air by cooling it down to nearly 200 °C below zero. When power is needed, the liquefied air is allowed to warm up and expand to drive a steam turbine and generator. View full post on wind generator energy – Yahoo! News Search Results
