But the reality is that the cost involved with installing panels and collectors is still out of reach for the vast majority of homeowners. Fortunately there are some cheap and easy ways to make the sun work for you.

Use Passive Solar
Passive solar means simply using or blocking the sun’s rays to heat or cool your home for A1008. This means that using your window coverings wisely can save you a ton on your power bills. Simply closing or angling your blinds to keep direct sunlight out can drop the interior temperature by 10 degrees. Try closing the window coverings on the south side of your house when you leave for the day during the summer months. Without the sun’s hot light shining in the windows, your air conditioner won’t have to work as hard. And in the winter of course doing the opposite can help heat your house. There tons of great looking blinds A1079,, awnings, and window films to help you harness or block the sun’s powerful rays.

Use Solar Exterior Lighting
Lighting the exterior of your home used to be tricky because you had to find a way to get power to the lights. But with the advancement in renewable power technology, these has gotten a lot easier. Solar garden lights, security lights for HP 530 Battery, and area lights now come completely integrated with panel, battery, electronic eye, and lights. Installation is usually as easy as hanging a picture and the prices start at less than $50. So whether you are trying to put some accent lights in your garden, shed some light in your tool shed, or trying to brighten those dark steps, lights powered by the sun are a great alternative.

Get Portable Chargers
These days we carry so many electronic devices around with us it kind of feels like we are a walking Radio Shack of Latitude d430 battery. The hardest part is figuring out how to keep these things charged. Now there are cool-looking portable solar chargers that will keep your iPod or blackberry running in a pinch. They are lightweight, folding, and very durable to handle the rigors of travel and outdoors situations. And if you are indoors and in need of a quick charge most of them will work by simply them putting near a window.

Decorate Home and Garden
For your outdoor spaces, solar fountains lend a soothing touch to any setting. All they require is a little water and a sunny spot and they can surround you with pleasant sounds or keep your pond aerated in Toshiba PA3399U-2BRS. Solar lamp post lights lend a nice touch to any entry area and tell your arriving guests you have good taste and care about the planet.

Get a Plug and Play Kit
If you need a small power source for your cottage in PA3465U-1BRS,, RV, or to take with you into the wilderness, there are great options out there. There are solar power kits that include the panel, the electronics, instructions, and all the wiring you need to get started. For example, a kit could power a little stereo, light, and charging your phone down at the boathouse or out in the barn. Or they can keep your RV Dell inspiron 9400 battery charged as you travel around the country. You’ll need a screwdriver, the ability to follow instructions, and a sunny place for the panel. Many of the kits start at less than $100 and for $500 you can get a nice little system and expand it later.

Learn how to build your own solar panel in 6 easy steps.

Every passing day it seems that we have more information on our hands about the concerns of the environment.

Learning how to create your own energy source will not only benefit you now but also far into the future. Imagine being given the ability to build your own solar panel in your very own backyard Battery 4 US.

It is possible and here are some simple steps on how you can build your very own energy producing solar panel.

Shanghai regulate the flow of waste lead-acid batteries

Large quantity of waste lead-acid batteries drain, waste treatment and professional risk to be material production line downtime predicament, this year is expected to turn for the better. Reporter learned yesterday from relevant meetings, as Shanghai is the only one specializing in lead-waste recycling companies Apple Battery, the Shanghai non-ferrous smelter has recently flywheel 80 with the city electric vehicle production and sales of enterprise contract, it will lead them in the hands of scrap the implementation of directional acid batteries recycling, utilization is expected to be recovered from the original 0.5% to 30%.

According to statistics, in 2006, Shanghai Electric bike sales reached 1.34 million, social holdings of 200 million vehicles produced each year, waste lead-acid battery 2 million tons. At present, lead-acid batteries have been included in the national list of hazardous wastes, of which acid, lead will seriously pollute the environment.

Surge in the amount of lead-acid battery scrap, lead waste in recycling non-ferrous smelter in Shanghai flywheel but not be happy. As the plant from the city electric vehicle production and sales enterprise recycled 102.7 tons of waste lead-acid A1008, A1012 batteries is only a large number of lead-acid batteries were sold to the “road guerrillas,” they generally use indigenous methods lead smelting production of regenerated lead, behind The process will produce a large number of wastewater sludge on the environment caused by “secondary pollution.”

In order to promote the regular city recycling of waste lead-acid batteries, flywheel Shanghai this year, a substantial increase in non-ferrous smelter in the purchase price of waste lead-acid batteries. To a group of 36-volt lead-acid batteries, for example, is priced at 95.91 yuan acquisition of the flywheel, which is “guerrillas” 106 yuan purchase price compared to already have some competitive edge, during the year and strive to achieve 30% of the city of waste lead-acid batteries legitimate recycling. Experts point out that the recovery rate of 95% in developed countries compared to the work of the city of waste lead-acid battery recycling is still a substantial increase in the short term is also difficult. This is mainly because the lead-acid batteries have already been included in the national list of hazardous wastes, but the city did not implement a mandatory recycling of waste lead-acid batteries.

Help environmentally friendly hydrogen-powered fuel-cell bicycle is expected by the end of A1022, A1039 Sheung

Hydrogen-powered bike sounds like the future of science and technology, but this bike at the end of this year will be in Canada or China may Sheung.

Horizon Fuel Cell Technology, Inc. founder Taras Wankewycz said that they have developed a bike, its power comes from hydrogen fuel cells, rather than ordinary rechargeable batteries. The company is currently working with officials in the negotiations between China and the Government of Canada to win the new bike coming year, Sheung.

Wankewycz said: “China has 10 million electric bikes a year to sell, the use of lead-acid batteries may be abandoned at any time.”

Horizon is also developing hydrogen-powered fishing boats, miniature cars, golf cars and toys.

At present, the hydrogen battery technology, there are still some problems to be resolved. First, the hydrogen production is more expensive, the production of hydrogen to create large quantities of carbon dioxide greenhouse gases. Although the chemical reaction or solar power can produce clean hydrogen, but their costs are very high. In addition, the hydrogen battery charging solar cell efficiency is not high.

Nevertheless, the hydrogen battery or the A1057, A1060 battery does not have other advantages: environmental protection; filling gas cylinders only takes a few minutes, while other electric vehicles to spend a few hours of charging.

Currently, fuel cell and hydrogen storage systems costly. Such as fuel prices of bicycles around 1000 U.S. dollars, of which the cost of power systems accounted for 600 dollars. In China, a lead-acid battery-powered electric bicycle prices generally 200 U.S. dollars. Therefore, the beginning of the new electric bike can only be sold to the bike rental companies and other corporate clients.

The high price of making a new bike could not be with the general bike in the same breath, but the government regulations would make the new bike may be universal. Some cities in China and India have banned diesel two-wheelers Sheung.

Japanese organizations to develop Li-ion A1061, A1078 battery safety standard

Sony battery recall learning from the lessons of the incident, the Japanese industry associations recently issued a new guidelines focus on the need to avoid high-voltage charge.

In the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) and the Battery Association of Japan (BAJ) jointly issued the document, from the battery cell, battery pack design to security, and many are determined by law.

File that is too high and battery charge voltage of impurities within the core will lead to the battery overheating issue, so to avoid exceeding the battery manufacturer specified charging voltage is also very important, companies should also strive to protect the battery itself, the “purity.”

JEITA is currently only released a summary of the A1079 new specification, the details will be announced at a later date.

Japan: National response to climate warming

Affected by natural conditions, geographical and environmental constraints, the impact of global warming on Japan is much larger than other developed countries DSLR Battery Grip, Digital Camera Battery. To this end, the Japanese established a public participation mechanism for response to climate warming, from the consciousness and the technical level to promote energy conservation, new energy development schemes.

According to the findings, if not to curb global warming, the 21st century, Japan’s maximum temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year the number of days will increase to two to three times the current. Temperatures also resulted in rising sea levels, while the Japanese coastal city of about half of the population concentrated in the country.

Affected by rising temperatures, the Japanese famous “Koshihikari” rice for 50 years, will cut 10 percent, while rice dysplasia, quality will fall. Japan’s food self-sufficiency rate is low, climate warming on the world’s major grain producing area, especially for the Asian monsoon Canon EOS 450D Battery Grip with the impact of food production, there is a greater fluctuations in food production will affect food security in Japan. Global warming, sea temperatures and atmospheric carbon dioxide into the seawater but also in seawater floating plants and animals, as well as fish, shellfish and other potential impact.

The 20th century, 70’s two oil crises prompted the building of energy-efficient countries, Japan has taken the pace, but now a growing number of Japanese people understand that reducing energy consumption is still the main way of greenhouse gas emissions.

The Japanese to buy something, we will repeatedly purchase products are more energy-efficient. Buy a car, many people tend to fuel-efficient small cars; to buy electrical appliances, they would rather the price slightly expensive, they must also select energy-efficient. Japanese companies Canon EOS 500D Battery Grip have also attached great importance to the development of energy-saving technologies, and constantly introduce new in the field of energy-saving products. At present, the vast majority of air-conditioning electricity consumption in Japan and 10 years ago has declined by 50% to 70%.

In the throttle at the same time, Japan also tried open source. At present, Japan is accelerating the development of renewable energy, reduce oil, coal and other fossil fuel usage. For example, the main hydrogen as fuel in the domestic fuel cell cogeneration system has entered ordinary Japanese homes. It is estimated that a group of fuel cell can make a family’s annual greenhouse gas emissions by 40%.

Japan’s solar capacity ranked second in the world after Germany, the world’s tenth column of wind generating capacity. The use of bio-fuels in power generation has also made rapid development in Japan has reached 100 percent utilization of waste paper pulp, wood processing waste utilization reached Canon EOS 1000D Battery Grip 90%, livestock manure utilization of 80%.

In addition, Japan is also actively developing carbon dioxide recovery technology. Japan’s industrial technology research institutions, the Earth’s environment since 2003 the city of Nagaoka in Niigata pressure of carbon dioxide into the 1,100 meters underground aquifer tests in 2005 has been successfully pressed a 1 million tonnes of carbon into the ground, equivalent to 2500 cars a year emissions of carbon dioxide.

Solar sailing yacht, “sailing”

Recently, the United Kingdom the most advanced green yacht in London’s Hyde Park Lake water. Yacht named “Solar Sailor”, which features are installed with solar sails, mainly rely on solar energy to promote, but also the use of wind energy Digital Camcorder Battery, they do not emit any polluting substances, is very environmentally friendly.

“Solar Sailor” on the solar panels fixed to the ship only a small part of the body, most installed in the sail, but also you can rotate. This is an innovative design, the researchers call them “sun sails.” Their strength is sufficient to easily cope with 64 km / h wind speed under the pressure. However, in the wind speed over 50 km / h, the driver will normally rotate solar sail, so that they set Ping at the top of the back deck. This will not only protect the safety of the yacht, but also does not affect it continues to absorb the energy from the sun.

Even on cloudy days, solar cells on the yacht can also generate more than their needs of Digital Camera Battery energy, and put the extra energy storage down. Wait until complete darkness when the yacht can make use of that part of the energy stored to sail more than 30 km. These solar panels generating capacity very strong, sunny day at 4-hour period when the reservoir is adequate for a 6-day average household electricity use. Computer in the cockpit will make reasonable arrangements battery power, maximize battery life boats. In the suspended period, the ship can sell excess energy back to the UK power company.

Yacht interior space that can be customized using a flexible design patterns, which makes yacht can be converted in transit “status”, both for the transport of precious cargo terminals, but also can serve as a luxury yacht. However, its cost is not cheap, I spent about 45 million, took 10 years to successfully developed. Yacht designers are currently considering the construction of a larger solar ferry for use in the river above the ferry is currently nearing completion. Meanwhile, researchers are designing a single look very spectacular solar sail yachts, and they even want to use solar sails on the train.

At present, some passengers have already boarded the boat solar sail yachts Casio Battery, it is simply full of praise. One passenger said: “I think it is very good, because it does not pollute the environment, which is very rare.” Yacht engine no noise, no pollution, so the local wildlife will not cause any impact. Another passenger said: “This boat is very light, sat a very smooth, I think its design is very wonderful.” Solar yacht has a huge market space. At present, the world has been formed billions of dollars in the market, solar-powered yacht in line with environmental requirements by the national government’s support.

Prior to this, in Hamburg, Germany a river trade terminal, one said to the world’s largest solar boat into the water, ship, 27 meters long and weighs 42 tons of non-polluting pleasure craft, there are two horsepower are eight kilowatts of engine. In the yacht, the yacht horsepower is not large, this is because the river yacht Hamburg 8 km per hour speed limit, and the yacht’s weight lower than the average yacht, thus entirely consistent with application requirements. In the sunny days, it can carry 100 tourists, working 16 hours, if there is excess power could also be the grid. If the cloudy day, it would take at night in the dock charging.

Expo 2010 will be held in time, a solar sail is expected to cruise on the Huangpu River to meet visitors from around the world to display the “Green Expo” theme. Cruise ship of all solar power will all use the green non-polluting solar energy, that is to install solar power generation cruise, power is about 40 ~ 50 kW. Due to the installation of solar power installations on a cruise ship, you must complete a new cruise ship to meet the new power plant, lines, etc. Casio NP-100 requirements.

Shanghai Auto Show Press Day horizons: Car can do to change the original

Yesterday, the Shanghai Auto Show opened their doors to welcome journalists from home and abroad. 1 day full time, inside and outside the crowded exhibition concept, dozens of new models and concept cars lifted the veil, a lot of advanced technology eye-catching, in the dazzling scene, more than 5,400 journalists have a “could not find the north” feeling Many people wonder — “car, the original can be changed!”

The future concept, is not only the appearance of

Europe-wing style doors, silver-white body, which seem to be necessary on the concept car form elements can be more important, concept cars have a future “bone and blood.” Yesterday, in booth number 11 debut of the concept car, you can say, “revealing the future of flavor from the bones.”

As Shanghai General Motors and the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center introduced the concept of a joint model — “Buick Riviera Buick Future” concept car is full of subtleties, and its console, as a noble to the list, three-dimensional speedometer very dynamic; while the traditional transmission shift lever will be designed to look like e-mouse Casio NP-20, so you are playing a little hard to tell the computer or drive a car.

Was unanimously recognized as the highest gold content-oriented views Motor Show Chevrolet Volt concept car — even more so. It with the E-Flex electric drive system which can adapt to different needs of electric vehicles, either with hybrid systems, hydrogen fuel cells, and can plug directly outside the charger power supply, use very convenient. Experiments in the United States, the Chevrolet Volt rechargeable 110-volt power supply is about six hours can be filled with lithium batteries, such as the use of 220-volt power supply charge, the time is even shorter. The use of pure electric mode on the road in the city about 64 kilometers.

Audi car yesterday at the Shanghai Auto Show world debut of the Audi Cross Coupéquattro concept car, the concept car to achieve the engine, gearbox, steering and adaptive suspension system, personalization options, the result is: the driver can use three kinds of completely different way to enjoy the fun of driving with a car. In addition to the standard “dynamic” and “movement” driving mode, but also has the “efficiency” driving program.

Moment heartbeat, can see for yourselves

High-tech auto show, not only can see, but you can see for Casio NP-30 yourself.

At yesterday’s show, a different experience of active safety systems ESP device, so you can feel the heartbeat near misses. When you ride into the analog cockpit, fasten seat belts, in the three-dimensional picture, you own a vehicle driving at high speed. Suddenly, the front there is a corner, but when you drive to the eyes, only to find the corner of the bend of the urgent than you think many, that they have in a very dangerous situation, they can at this time, ESP Electronic Stability Program has been quickly identified it as kinds of dangerous situations, and the lightning precise brake intervention, the entire simulation of the cab while violent shake, but to prevent vehicle skidding and eventually returned to the security track. Is no doubt that this highly active safety, it can be very effective in avoiding accidents.

Similarly, the increasingly sophisticated global navigation system, making people feel sitting beside a line of co-pilot proficiency terrain. In the Siemens navigation system before, the reporter entered his home in Changsha, Hunan Province — as a destination, from the Shanghai New International Expo Center between the end of the line now has three modes to choose from, optional full-speed, choose the least number of kilometers line, also choose the most economical route, and the computer prompts you do not have to worry about that more than 1,000 kilometers in numerous fork in the road. Similarly, as a global navigation flagship enterprise — Mio’s new product actually built two million-pixel high-definition camera Casio NP-40, Casio NP-L7, with an innovative “photo navigation” feature, users can always photographed interested in photos.

Japan’s major manufacturers have announced the expansion of solar cell production capacity

According to “Nihon Keizai Shimbun,” recently reported that, in order to reduce Digital Camera Battery, greenhouse gas emissions, Europe and other major markets, the demand for solar cells is rapidly rising share of the global solar cell market, into a share of about five major Japanese manufacturers have recently announced a major increase capacity.

Reported that, at present the world’s largest solar cell production capacity of Sharp Corp. recently said it would increase production capacity within this month into two. Production scale ranks third in the world of the Kyocera Corporation recently announced it will invest 40 billion DSLR Battery Grip to 50 billion yen (about ¥ 116 in 1 U.S. dollars) to expand production capacity, fiscal year 2010 to double the production capacity. Sanyo also said it would spend ¥ 40,000,000,000 improve its production capacity in Japan and overseas factories. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, is established solar cell production capacity will be increased to three times the current approach.

Reported that major Japanese manufacturer hopes to expand production capacity as soon as possible to reduce costs, promote the popularization of solar cells, and occupy a favorable position in the market.

“Green Battery” to urge the industry to adjust

Nine ministries and commissions in accordance with the provisions of 2006 is the last year, if the enterprises do not have compliance, you must close.

China’s enterprises and improved through the introduction of Canon EOS 30D Battery Grip foreign advanced technology, have been resolved in the mercury-free batteries under conditions of long-term storage and maintain power stability issue, then, followed by how to promote the use of mercury-free alkaline batteries? In response, Wang Jingzhong the Secretary-General pointed out that efforts in two ways One is to raise consumer awareness of mercury-free alkaline battery level, so that people understand the mercury-free alkaline batteries in environmental protection, cost and other advantages to urge everyone to purchase and use of this “green cells”; second, by strengthening supervision and strengthen law enforcement efforts to promote the industry, product structure adjustment, promote and help “green cells” production enterprises to expand production scale and market share rate.

Domestic enterprises to produce mercury-free alkaline battery power can be achieved with six times the mercury batteries, storage time can reach more than 3 years, or even 8 years, than to have a mercury-free battery to be much longer. Mercury-free alkaline batteries these advantages, there is no well-known. Nanfu Battery launch the concept of 1:6, a Nanfu battery effect is six times the normal battery. Fujian Nanping Nanfu Battery Co., Ltd. Ding, general manager, said, “six times the concept is rather conservative concept. The most we launch came here eight times more, but from the perspective of the consumer in charge, we only mention six times the This is to ensure that consumers to use effect. ”

According to reports, the performance of alkaline manganese batteries are common in many areas the battery can not be compared, such as electrical current, toys, razors, and so the use of regular batteries reach the effect of alkaline manganese batteries. In addition, conservation of resources is also very impressive, zinc as a battery raw materials, to use ordinary batteries to 5.6 grams and as alkaline batteries used in 3.5 grams on it.

Battery manufacture than ordinary alkaline batteries much more difficult because of the purity of raw materials higher, purification itself, the price will be high, manufacturing costs are high. The production of mercury-free battery technology is mature and is mass-produced, the cost does increase a lot Canon EOS 40D Battery Grip, Canon EOS 300D Battery Grip, but on their own be able to digest.

Another aspect of the industry adjustment of product structure is also very important. Wang Jingzhong Secretary-General said, in accordance with the provisions of nine ministries and commissions in 2006, is the last year, if the enterprises do not have compliance, you must close. The implementation of mercury-free and compulsory execution, the workload is very large, the first batch of 11 key enterprises have already achieved compliance in the future also will be gradually released, the current domestic scale there are dozens of enterprises, strengthen supervision and increase law enforcement from the start here.

No connections are not sealed very solid oxide fuel cell power generation success

Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) research group developed a “tube does not seal without joins a very solid oxide fuel cell” power generation is successful, the project was completed in January 30 by the Organization of Science and Technology ” 863 “project acceptance.

Solid oxide fuel cell structure is different from the existing cell structure at home and abroad, eliminating the previous tubular solid oxide fuel cell of the ceramic must be used very connected and therefore I no longer need to seal the work area, reducing the difficulty of the production process; to take matrix with a combination of multiple single-tube combined into a one cell battery. The results of the previous battery simplifies the manufacturing process, significantly reducing production costs and improve the integration density, make it accessible for practical use, will promote (SOFC) technology, faster development. Solid oxide fuel cell fuel gas a wide range of options, in addition to methane and other fossil fuels can be used in addition to methane, ethanol, methanol, diesel and other biomass energy. Solid oxide fuel cell power generation efficiency of 60% utilization efficiency of 80%, while the efficiency of conventional thermal power plants Canon EOS 350D Battery Grip was only 35%, with the growing scarcity of fossil fuels, will show a big advantage.

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has broad application prospects, both for the people living in discrete communities and provide a reliable energy supply, as an independent distributed power plants, but also as a power grid, supplementing the insufficient power supply, while electricity generated when The exhaust gas and waste heat can be used for domestic heating or heat source such as a water heater on the efficient utilization of renewable energy has a great significance.

Each single-tube just like a pen, while the battery pack nothing but the size of two cups. The photo shows the two battery pack composed of modules. Use of generating power 35W / group of single-cell group composed of four battery packs consisting of the stack had 500 hours of running test, thermal cycling more than 15 times, 30 such batteries can form a kilowatt of cell stack, 300 such single-battery pack you can have 10 kilowatts of generating capacity.

2007 China is expected to become the world’s largest consumer of nickel

It is reported that nickel is mainly used for stainless steel, batteries, electroplating and electroless plating industry, of which 65% for the manufacture of stainless steel. Because China’s huge demand for stainless steel is expected in 2007 China became the world’s largest consumer of nickel, by 2006 the output of the calculation, there is a big gap, so our country will inevitably face a chronic shortage of nickel supply situation.

Jean Nickel said that by 2009, the global shortfall of 50,000 tons of nickel, nickel-rising demand in China and India will lead to nickel in short supply. Some major resource suppliers spotted the opportunity to have expanded nickel project. Although China’s nickel demand is increasing, but because of the high nickel prices has brought to the manufacturers of pressure, the market will be adjusted in the future. Unknown market supply difficulties and the fear of driving the price of raw materials continue to rise. The current Canon EOS 400D Battery Grip international nickel prices due to fund speculative factors, prices may be overvalued, there is a certain uncertainty.

CPPCC National Committee members suggested that standardization of mobile phone batteries as soon as possible

In recent years, mobile phone ownership is Digital Camcorder Battery growing very rapidly in China. According to incomplete statistics, at present owned by the nationals have been more than 400 million mobile phones. In bringing communications facilities, while the negative effects of mobile phones has become more prominent, especially in the environmental hazards caused by mobile phone batteries staggering.

Zhu Jianguo in Shanghai CPPCC National Committee members learned in the investigation, at present in the city every family used at least 45 mobile phones, and most of them are “double-double charge” (two batteries, two chargers). As a result, each household will have mobile phone batteries 10. To the country 400 million mobile phone ownership basis, the stock of mobile phone battery is enormous.

The standard deviation varying compatibility

Zhu Jianguo mobile phone batteries “soaring” and blamed the cell phone battery standards are not unified, poor compatibility. Of different brands of mobile phone batteries used in the size, shape are different, and even the same brand will be different models of mobile phones use different batteries. In this way, consumers only buy the same brand same model phone, the original battery in order to continue to maintain “viable.” Once the change to other brands or models, it can only be an old battery into the “Lenggong” the.

Mobile phone battery standards are not uniform and give consumers an economic burden. Handset makers can not be according to uniform standards for the production or procurement of cells, raising the cost. This part of the cost will eventually be “passed on” to the Digital Camera Battery consumer.

There are precedents of ordinary batteries

What has caused the phone battery standards, specifications are not uniform? ZHU Jian-guo think that the fundamental reason is that profit-driven. “Battery Standard non-uniform, increasing business costs, but also gives businesses an attractive profit margins.” He said, from a technical point of view, to a unified standard mobile phone battery is not difficult. Inside the phone setting a unified standard cell phone battery will not affect the appearance, just like all kinds of electrical appliances while using the same common batteries, can design a distinctive look and feel of the product shape.

Zhu Jianguo in the proposal calls for national authorities as soon as possible to develop a unified standard mobile phone batteries, making it like a normal battery as a universal, can set up several kinds of specifications to enable mobile phone manufacturers according to their own products, the need to choose. Mobile phone battery can be reduced so harmful to the environment and waste of resources, but also reduce the financial burden of consumers.

ZHU Jian-guo believe that Shanghai has developed the mobile phone market, also has a higher level of battery production enterprises and scientific research units, is perfectly placed in the implementation of uniform standards for mobile phone batteries one step ahead.

Environment protection and energy batteries alkaline Canon Battery hit the market setback in China’s cover only the

In response to the national energy-saving and environmental protection policy appeals, a number of manufacturing industries in transition, produce high-quality environmentally friendly energy-saving products, but those products are currently facing market, torture, to promote the situation is not optimistic. Among them, the battery industry, the market faces an embarrassing is particularly prominent.

In 1997, the former China Light Industry Association, the State Environmental Protection Administration and other 9 departments have jointly issued a “battery products on the limited amount of the provisions of mercury,” demanding since January 1, 2001, the ban of mercury in the domestic production of all kinds of great battery weight of 0.025% of the battery. Since January 1, 2005, the ban on domestic production of mercury batteries is greater than the weight of 0.0001% of the alkaline zinc-manganese batteries (not mercury content of less than 2% of the alkaline manganese and silver oxide button batteries). Is aimed at policy “baton,” the first source in the production of a high standard, thereby bringing about market consumption, thus speeding up the process of the popularization of environmentally friendly energy-saving battery.

This provision has been enacted almost 10 years now, however, as the mainstream products in environment protection and energy battery – alkaline batteries in China’s cover only 20% of the battery products, which not only in developed countries 80% ~ 90% of the high popularity of rate far away from the national “Tenth Five-Year Plan” 30% of the goals there is great distance. Western developed countries has largely achieved the energy-saving environmental alkaline battery production to consumption, the transition, but in China’s markets, the majority of consumers apparently do not ignite consumer passion for alkaline batteries.

Policies to guide the battery cell production, while energy-saving environmental protection, the relevant state departments and industry associations are also actively doing business Tuiyou limit inferior work, and strive for environmental protection to create a good energy-saving battery consumption environment. Since August last year, started by the National Light Industry Quality Supervision and Test Center battery-specific testing, Nanfu, 555 and 11 backbone enterprises of mercury in alkaline manganese batteries are lower than the mercury content of mercury-free battery-limited targets, in full compliance with the provisions of the State Department 9 ; China Canon BP-208 Battery Industry Association, the 11 brands of alkaline manganese battery identified as the first “green alkaline manganese battery products,” recommended to the public. However, despite the relevant national departments and manufacturers to work together, environmental protection and popularization of energy-saving battery, or so slow the pace. Many in the industry say there is a big market spending is the crux.

In the vast majority of consumers in the eyes, the battery life is just the role of ordinary consumer goods, and soap, toothbrushes little different. Consumers will not spend too much buying batteries thoughts. In addition, the alkaline battery prices higher than the ordinary carbon-zinc batteries some, many consumers feel that carbon-zinc batteries cheaper and affordable, especially in rural areas in the country a broader market, the level of consumption is still relatively low, so the consumption of the carbon-zinc batteries more directly that the consumption of alkaline batteries is a waste.

Experts pointed out that this idea is a consumer misunderstanding. From the consumer sense, energy-saving environmental protection despite the higher price of the battery, but it reflected energy-saving, environmental protection targets are ordinary carbon-zinc batteries several times. The south of Fu battery, for example, from the electricity index point of view, a Nanfu alkaline battery power is the same size carbon-zinc batteries of six times; from the environmental indicators point of view, Nanfu alkaline batteries almost without causing any pollution can be discarded along with the garbage; from life indicators point of view, the life of ordinary carbon-zinc batteries is 6 months, the battery can keep the original power capacity of 70%, alkaline Canon BP-511 battery shelf life is 3 years, 3 years, Nanfu Battery the electric capacity and 90%; from a social sense, the alkaline batteries used in the production of materials, more energy saving society. Because they do not use of natural manganese ore, manganese dioxide, its use can be used, or other low-grade manganese carbonate manganese ore for processing, so there is no shortage of resources. The carbon-zinc batteries are the main component of natural manganese, manganese ore, but my discharge fewer resources, due to years of over-exploitation, the availability of discharge manganese nearly depleted.

Experts say consumers can produce quite a big stir in the battery recycling issue. Whether in the district, school or government organizations and institutions, there will be a lot of recycling the battery box. Carbon-zinc batteries in the general popularity of the times, when people see that after the recovery of the battery box will naturally think of things that the battery is not environmental protection, it should be put boxes for centralized treatment. Such civil actions to achieve a good recovery performance. In the environment protection and energy the battery will become the mainstream of the times, if we can learn from this way of thinking, to guide people in popular awareness and consumption of alkaline batteries, they will certainly speed up the process of the popularization of environmentally friendly energy-saving battery.

Information Week: The battery’s future

In mobile technology, we always never-ending technological advances as a birthright. For notebook computers, music players, handheld computers (PDA) and mobile phones, the constant “downsizing” is a must, at the same time, but also add features to enhance speed, extended memory. However, there is one thing dragged on for legs – that is the battery.

Recently, the high incidence of notebook computers fire accidents, so that the battery has aroused great concern of all parties. Incident was Sony Corporation (Sony, hereinafter referred to as Sony) in the production process problems caused by more than 600 million batteries were Canon LP-E5 recalled. When the incident became clear, people still need to face the undeniable fact – the battery power issue is still firmly tied us, the digital operation or the capacity of the game and thus be greatly limited. Even more unfortunately, in recent years this situation has not changed much. Battery power, compared with the needs of users, but also far apart, and the lack of a major breakthrough – despite the battery capacity of these devices than ever before have some improvement.

Mobile device battery is a need to overcome the technical fields. Therefore, some experts believe that, consumer electronics, notebook computer and communications industries should be from the existing battery out of the conceptual framework, the use of new alternative technologies to give portable mobile device. Some of their ideas is indeed good to be true. For example, to a mobile phone loaded block hydrogen fuel cells, another example for BlackBerry (BlackBerry) PDA to install a small gas turbine engines. These concepts are ahead, but it had to recharge every few hours to shake off the shackles of conduct like this bold experiment is necessary.

Turbine engine on a chip

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers are testing, by means of micro-electrical mechanical system in the continuous development of power sector, in the coin-sized silicon chip establishment of micro-gas turbine engine. Continuous supply of such devices compared to the same time, the weight of the battery 10 times longer, so developers created a smaller generators. The micro-processing engine model consists of six silicon wafers bonded together, of which compressor, combustor, rotating turbines and other necessary functional modules have been cured in a separate silicon layer. Fuel and air mixture in a tiny combustion chamber and burned. Micro-turbineCanon NB-1LH blades made of material per second transfer rate of 20000 high-speed rotation.

“We have confirmed that all components can work properly.” Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Massachusetts Institute of Technology Allen • Epstein (Alan Epstein) said, “Now the challenge is to make them work together, and that the integration of group together. “Epstein predicts that this generation model can be displayed within a year. To put into commercial use, however, then it had to spend three or more years time.

Even if the power supply to be perfect, it must cross the barrier in front of the battery replacement technology barriers. If it is the price of the battery so cheap as now, it can achieve an annual output of hundreds of millions of batteries do? People would be willing to surmise in a pocket or purse inside a combustion engine do?

Hydrogen fuel cell is about the birth of another alternative. Arizona State University (Arizona State University) chemist Church • (Don Gervasio) are working on a hydrogen fuel cell, which uses the concentration of 30% of the mixture of borohydride solution to produce than the same volume of solution – a more advanced hydrogen-rich hydrogen. He explained that such boron hydride solution than conventional fuel cells more stable and more secure.

“We are creating a boron hydride container, on the inside even if lighting a match can also be easily extinguished.”Said. We can see that he is very concerned about this that any new power supply will be faced with security problems. Solution flowing through the element made of laptop batteries ruthenium catalyst to release hydrogen, and then through a layer of film, with the fuel cells combine oxygen to produce electricity.

This approach must have to overcome some obstacles. In R & D initially, as the reaction produced a by-product can not be dissolved, resulting in oxygen electrolyzer being blocked, research once frustrated. R & D team was the use of ethylene glycol (an antifreeze) to dissolve boron oxide, without affecting the oxygen generation. Explained that he led the team again to 1 ~ 3 years time can develop a prototype of industrial products, but the commercial product will have to be able to come out a few years.

Other companies also continue to explore an alternative to liquid methanol fuel cells, but there is no where near the success of a development. Because it has to meet three conditions: laptop battery to meet the demand, the volume should be small enough to be able to insert the laptop battery slot small space, while manufacturing costs but also, and now the laptop battery close.

Limited choice

Lithium-ion batteries since the 90 years since the last century, replaced nickel-metal hydride batteries, the late 90s and gradually notebook computers and handheld devices become the mainstream configurations. Mainly because in the same size, the lithium-ion can store more power, but also far more portable than the nickel-metal hydride materials. Over the past few years, lithium-ion technology in energy density has increased by 20% ~ 30%. According to the Portable Rechargeable Battery Association (Portable Rechargeable Battery Association) data, are now common in general to achieve the laptop battery power supply 4 to 5 hours, while in 2004 only to maintain 3 hours. Currently the world’s lithium-ion batteries produced each year there are about 2 billion.

Most lithium-ion batteries are based on cobalt oxide inside the very basis of the negative. Because it contains oxygen in the material, it is extremely unstable. If the production of lithium-ion slightly careless, you may have short-circuit or overheating, and in some occasions, the battery inside the electrolyzer could spark a fire. Most major notebook manufacturers have been recalls of Sony-manufactured batteries, battery replacement product research and development on the news reports continued to hit the newspapers, but also let the little there are concerns that the industry became a focus of media attention.

The good news is, the problem appears confined to the Dell Battery. The battery industry, most people also believe that the company has the ability, and certainly this important process can solve the problem. Sony said it has taken measures to prevent the problem arises again.

The bad news is, it seems we have to continue to suffer from the status quo of this technology. Frost & Sullivan Inc. analyst Sarah • Bradford (Sara Bradford) in a recent report claimed that lithium-ion battery energy density has been close to its theoretical limit. While the new alternative to the possibility of the recent market has little in the short term could only expect a slight improvement. “In the future two or three years and did not really much has changed.” Intel Corporation (Intel, hereinafter referred to as Intel’s) senior vice president and general manager of Mobile Business Unit Pu David (David Perlmutter), said, “Now the industry is focused mainly on the , how to improve the conventional lithium-ion battery manufacturing process and improve the reliability of the battery. ”

But there are many start-up companies and academic research institutions, is conducting a relentless effort to make plans for the portable power supply projects, building blocks. (Sony declined to discuss it has already carried out in the next generation of battery R & D work.) Battery(75uyf, C1295, GD761) testing and development of alternative technologies is accelerating among the many groups are actively seeking funding, find partners and mining-related clients.

Unified standard mobile phone charger? Part of the “wait and see” the companies transferred their support to

Recently, there is news that earlier laboratory to Digital Camera Battery the Ministry of Information Industry for approval by the Gentile’s “mobile phone charger and interface, the technical requirements and test methods” quasi-standard has been approved. In addition, this standard will be Ministry of Information Industry, “forced” mobile phone manufacturers to implement. Reporter followed from CTTL was informed by the relevant responsible person, the next will be entered into the “standard to start implementing the” stage. Cell phone manufacturers is concerned, there are some manufacturers that have already been notified, but not all vendors support this standard.

Mobile phone charger after the implementation of the benefits of unified standards, the consumer replacement phone of the old cell phone charger can still continue to use the same charger can be a different brand, different models of mobile phone charging.

Before the end of a unified standard?

Last week, the Ministry of Information Industry in charge of departments and bureaus of the two held in Beijing a standard mobile phone charger publicize and implement the meeting, Ministry of Science and Technology Division,

Telecommunications Authority and the China Communications Standards Association, the relevant person in charge to attend. In addition, more than 70 mobile phone, charger design and production of corporate senior management and technical personnel to DSLR Battery Grip participate in the meeting.

It is reported that this meeting, the Ministry of Science and Technology Department Director Wen library and deputy director of the Telecommunications Authority Luyang respectively on policy issues related to mobile phone charger to do a speech and pointed out the importance of implementing the standards, and said mobile phone manufacturers To begin to start implementing.

It is said that the meeting was reflected in the standard mobile phone charger for cell phone manufacturers still hold a lot of wait and see attitude that this is a recommendation of industry standards, while the Ministry of Information Industry official is a statement which is to enforce the standards, this meeting is the Ministry of Information Industry official standard for mobile phone charger will be carrying out a publicity, role, point of view is from the official statement, will be mandatory for the implementation of the standard. However, an audience, told reporters asking cell phone manufacturers need to implement it was not hard to say, the meeting itself, there is no conclusive explanation. However, as a project has been approved by the Ministry of Information Industry, Ministry of Information Industry official in charge of the implementation schedule has been put forward are likely to begin this year at the latest by the end of the standard that all vendors must be unified. That introduction is only a matter of time.

Mobile phone charger will become rounder

Early last month, Ministry of Information Industry spokesman Wang Lijian told reporters that the unification has not yet received an official document of the standard mobile phone charger, inconvenient to answer this question. However, a short interval of one month to the Ministry of Information Industry for approval by the Gentile laboratory of “mobile communication technology, mobile phone charger and interface requirements and test methods” standard had already been approved and formally convene relevant meetings, access to real implementation of the phase. , A senior telecom analyst with CCID Consulting, told reporters that the strong public opinion, driven by mobile phone charger standard has Canon BG-E2N Battery Grip become the Ministry of Information Industry of concern, as if ready to go ahead had hair, he estimated that the formal implementation of time may also speed up the .

“Prior to using the mini-USB phone charger interface as a standard practice for the greatest impact was touched some manufacturers in production cost.” The analyst said, from the current view of the global handset procurement components, mini-USB’s costs have been very low, this is the same MII interface in the selection area by taking into account, the estimated resistance vendors in the “actual cost will not increase too much” situation, there has been reduction.

Last year in December, according to reports from the Ministry of Information Industry will approve and publish the mobile phone charger developed Gentile laboratory standards and a unified standard interface technology. After the implementation of the standard benefit is that consumers replacement phone of the old cell phone charger can still continue to use the same charger can be a different brand, different models of mobile phone charging. In addition, USB’s universal, standardized mobile phone charging cable can also act as a data cable to use. The message issued immediately aroused great response from the consumer level, reflecting the point of view, to support sound majority.

Part of the “wait and see” the companies transferred their support to

Prior to this, Nokia Greater China CEO Colin Giles had said in an interview, Ministry of Information Industry intends to unify the country had heard of mobile phone charger thing, but do not quite agree. More support for Nokia phones with the brand on a global scale using the same charger standard, not necessarily the Chinese standard. As Nokia’s mobile phone for the global market, China’s reunification, the Nokia mobile phone charger standard means for the Chinese market alone battery charger Canon BG-E3 Battery Grip interface redesign, the cost will be increased. In addition, some have not yet used as a USB charger interface also said that foreign brands are not informed of the matter, who wait and see attitude.

But yesterday, a Nokia spokesman told reporters that the company has been notified and access to relevant timetable. He also speculated that other manufacturers have also been informed of the matter. “Nokia will support the implementation of standards.”

Motorola was an early start as a mobile phone using the USB charger interface, foreign brands are considered under uniform standards in the less affected vendors. For the Ministry of Information Industry to implement the standard practice, the spokesman said had been informed of the relevant and will be listed in accordance with regulations dealing with new charger interface. But the people are reluctant to the Ministry of Information Industry This time “mandatory” to comment on the implementation of the practice.

CATR CTTL any Gui Li said earlier that the primary, including Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson, Bird, Lenovo, TCL, Amoi, etc. are major mobile phone manufacturers had been involved in the development of standards. This implies that manufacturers in the formulation and implementation of this standard also have some say. H
