At Sandia National Laboratory, Myers works on the Z machine, the world's most powerful pulsed - power facility and x-ray generator, which
produces high energy density plasmas that are used to study fusion and the physics of nuclear weapons.

But by adjusting its chemistry, says Feaver, EnerG2 can
produce carbon with pores to match electrolytes designed for
high power
density,
high energy density, or any combination of the two.
The researchers
produced a power
density of about 60 watts per square meter over multiple cycles, which is six to 10 times
higher than the power
density produced by other liquid - based thermal - electric
energy conversion systems.
The use of intermediate size nuclei is expected to result in intermediate
energy density - not as
high as in earlier runs colliding two beams of gold ions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), but more than was
produced by colliding a beam of gold ions with much lighter deuterons.
The technique, which uses a heated atomic force microscope (AFM) tip to
produce patterns, could facilitate
high -
density, low - cost production of complex ferroelectric structures for
energy harvesting arrays, sensors and actuators in nano - electromechanical systems (NEMS) and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS).
They combine to
produce 320 kW of power and 700 N · m of torque, sourced from a
high - capacity battery which has been redesigned and re-engineered for increased
energy density.
High energy density and pipelines are built already, but combustion
produces CO2.
It also has
high power
density, meaning that it
produces more
energy per gallon than many other liquid fuels.
Despite wood's low
energy density and
high cost, utilities in the US and abroad are switching from coal to wood to
produce electrical power.
When dipped into a beaker of water, instead of
producing electricity, the leaf harnessed the electrons to break the chemical bonds of water and release hydrogen gas — a fuel that can store
energy at a significantly
higher density and lower cost than electricity.
The reasons we use thermal plants for generating electricity is that these plants have a small footprint, can be located close to consumers, and
produce electricity reliably at very
high energy -
densities.
