		<description><![CDATA[I recently highlighted a novel audio amp that can run off batteries for a long, long time. And I&#8217;ve been collecting some other low power stuff that I&#8217;ll share here. But what really makes it complete is the concept of Energy Harvesting!We&#8217;re all familiar with photovoltaics, that turn light into electricity. There is a company [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s amazing what application specific integrated circuits can do now. I never stop being surprised at what I keep seeing coming out of the pipeline. Audium Semiconductor recently gave me one such surprise with the hyper efficient AS1001 amplifier that can deliver 100 watts peak power, from a 1.5 volt (read single battery) power supply.

		<description><![CDATA[The Nissan Leaf is an all electric car for the masses. On paper, the car seems to be a much more realistic proposition than cars like the Tesla or the Fisker. It&#8217;s a small 5 seat car, with a range of 100 miles and a target price somewhere a bit above $25k. For many, this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was reading about a new serial hybrid that uses a micro-turbine, and that got me looking at automotive turbines of the past. We&#8217;ve come a long way, baby! One of the more interesting automotive turbine efforts was done by Chrysler. Turns out they started working on the issue in the 50s! In the mid 60s, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Turns out the crafty Germans are at it again! As reported in the Fraunhofer Research News recently, a group there is working with something called a redox flow battery. Basically it uses a liquid instead of a solid to store the charge. This isn&#8217;t new, but the team has brought the energy density up to that of [...]]]></description>

But the more I read about the 760i and all it&#8217;s variants, all I can think of is a car no one needs.  What got [...]]]></description>

And I also learned that pretty much every North American car company blew chow in FY 2008. All the big US car companies (the big three and the New Domestics) but one lost money per car in the [...]]]></description>
