💁🏻‍♀️ NEW: ⚡🧲 #Cambridge #math professor Hannah Fry demonstrates how to build a simple electric #motor using a #battery, #copper wire, #magnets, and paper clips. Winding wire into a coil creates an electromagnet that repels and attracts the magnet beneath, forcing the coil to spin. 👉 Learn more: https://seethis.tv/post/how-to-make-an-electric-motor-video #activities #diy #electricity #howto #metal #physics #science #technology #tech #magnetism #engineering #diy #experiment #electromagnets #tksst #video

”[Droughts worsened by climate change] exposed the vulnerability of Zambia and Zimbabwe’s hydropower-dependent electricity systems, triggering severe power shortages and renewing interest in coal.” But: “Thousands of households and businesses have installed rooftop solar systems to reduce dependence on the unreliable national grid.” https://news.mongabay.com/2026/07/climate-shocks-hit-hydropower-in-southern-africa-reviving-interest-in-coal/ #Climate #ClimateCrisis #Drought #Hydropower #Water #Renewables #Coal #FossilFuels #Electricity

power usage is much less intuitive than you'd think. a 1000w (2kw usage) microwave running for two 30 second runs to heat up food twice a day, could be fed with a single tiny 3-cell 33Wh powerbank (3x 3000mAh * 4v 18650 = 36Wh) whereas the basic ~100w always active ventilation of the average (european) house/toilets will accumulate 2-3000Wh a day, about 5-7 big ebike batteries worth with each 36 cells (36* 3000mAh * 4v = 432Wh) #PowerUsage #Electricity

“When you compare that to the hundreds of millions of people who are struggling with rolling #blackouts, with #electricity curbs, #rationing, waiting in line for #food queues, or the disruption to #fertilizers & the potential impact that that has on food #prices, we don’t think that it’s a justifiable price for the rest of the world to be paying,” Galey added. #BigOil #WarProfiteering #FossilFuels #ClimateChange #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #Trump #economy #inflation #affordability #oil #energy

When the stork is fully charged the head pulls back, the beak faces downwards and it gets this smug look about it. #Stork #Bird #BirdsOfMastodon #FediBird #Homestead #Grid #Electricity

Although in a way this is greed for power ⚡ but I'm OK with that, I'd love to have these installed in my windows please #invention #korea #solar #electricity #environment #climate #ClimateChange #ClimateChangeIsReal

EMERGENCY: our solar panel connectors have corroded out and we need replacement our power is now struggling and we cannot afford the maintenance cost (what we have instead of a power bill) several parts of the array have been taken offline because of this its corroded past the point of repair and needs replacement if you want to help some struggling queer tech folk who are otherkin genderfucks https://ko-fi.com/inamruzui https://www.paypal.me/inaraclocks https://cash.app/$Athamanatha #mutualaid #mutualAidRequest #transcrowdfund #transinneed #electricity

Before #2022, the engineers at #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZPNN) — the largest in #europe — weren't revving up for an #invasion . They knew what to do without #electricity and were prepped for natural #disasters but a full-on occupation of their plant? Not something they’d prepared for.

Fascinating overview of how rapidly electricity is displacing oil — in this case, on farms. https://youtu.be/L5pn5d9v2Lw #electricity #solarPower #renewableEnergy #farming #oil #energy

We should not be burning methane gas in our homes (or anywhere). New research report: Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve but ditching gas was *better than medicine.* https://www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-stoves-asthma #LNG #oilAndGas #GHG #emissions #methane #asthma #health #methaneGas #naturalGas #electricity #stoves

Tax Breaks for Data Centers Are Ending, With More States Revoking Them

As the AI infrastructure build-out continues to meet headwinds from concerned citizens, three states recently signed laws ending what had been the largely-standard practice of exempting data center operators from paying sales taxes. Tucked into a state budget passed on June 15th, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs touted that data centers located in the state would […] The post Tax Breaks for Data Centers Are Ending, With More States Revoking Them appeared first on Good News Network.

https://mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/659076-first-of-its-kind-solar-power-plant-in-south-africa-built-right-under-eskoms-nose.html I am glad that another large scale #PV power project has come online. But then my confusion starts. They built a PV power plant, to power a...coal mine. exclusively. no grid feedin. A coal mine that feeds a monster-sized coal powered power plant (that feeds national grid) Are we, as a civilization, really this fucken stupid? *checks notes* ok, seems we are. fuck. #SouthAfrica #Electricity #ClimateChange

I guess the trend showing increased solar and wind power is good… #power #solar #wind #electricity #oil

From Pew Research, “Most electricity still comes from burning fossil fuels. But a growing share comes from wind and solar power. Worldwide, 57% of all electricity generated in 2025 came from burning coal, gas or other fossil fuels, down from 65% in 2000.” #power #solar #wind #electricity #oil

A strange headline. None of this is 'weird’. Some of it might not scale (especially the human element) but weird? Does the Gruaniad employ anyone with even a knowledge of science and engineering (I’m not asking for a degree)? Clearly in its references this has been written from their ‘business column’ https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/19/molten-salt-human-sweat-weird-batteries-store-renewable-energy #renewables #storage #electricity

Okay #DIY and #solar folks. I have a hairbrained idea to re-purpose an old dishwasher circulation pump for a #garden pump to pair with my rainwater catchment system. But I'm a novice when it comes to #electricity and calculating loads. How would I even go about powering the pump once it's removed, and testing it to see how much power it draws so I know what kind of solar panel and battery I'd even need? #solarpunk #gardening #reuse

#Solar just became #Europe's biggest source of #electricity – here's the milestone it hit Generating a record 52 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity and supplying 25% of all electricity used in the #EuropeanUnion in June 2026. That’s the first time solar has provided a quarter of the EU’s monthly electricity. It also made solar the bloc’s largest source of electricity for the month, ahead of nuclear (21%), gas (15%), wind (14%), hydro (12%), and coal (8%). https://electrek.co/2026/07/15/solar-just-became-europes-biggest-source-of-electricity-heres-the-milestone-it-hit/
