AFRL researchers ‘twist’ yarns for electrical energy, power
Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory are exploring the use of carbon nanotube-based twistron yarns for energy generation. This twistron yarn image, captured by x-Ray tomography, is a 3-D rendering of the coiled nanotube fibers and provides information on the structures, defects and interfaces internal to the fibers at the nanoscale. By examining the twistron yarns at the micro-level, researchers hope to better understand the dynamic process of energy generation by the yarns under deformation. (U.S. Air Force photo/Matt Lucas)
AFRL’s Energy and Environment Team wins top Air Force acquisition leadership award
The Air Force Forward Operating Base of the Future demonstration focuses on alternative energy sources such as smart controllers, microgrids, advanced batteries and solar cells to ensure operational energy sources exist to power the Air Force global mission. The project also evaluates energy reduction technologies such as shelter insulation and efficient HVACs. (U.S. Air Force photo/Capt. Jason Goins)
PEARL microgrid project demonstrates new possibilities in military energy resiliency
A newly-installed 134 kW photovoltaic array at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, is part of the Pacific Energy Assurance and Resiliency Laboratory, a renewable energy microgrid project demonstrating new ways for military facilities to address energy needs.
