Silicon is the most abutment element in the earth's crust and is molten at about 1400c where salts melt at 800c. Molten silicon thermal energy storage offer higher storage temperatures than that of salts. 'Silicon has unique properties that confer the ability to store...
Molten salt thermal energy storage systems are used during times when energy is not needed. The liquid salt is stored as thermal energy in highly insulated tanks at a temperature of 300-500 degrees Celsius, depending on the type of salt being stored. These systems...

What are the applications of superconductivity? Superconductivity was discovered early in the 20th century. It allows current to flow in certain materials without electrical resistance when the material's temperature is lowered to extreme temperatures. This week, you will examine applications of electricity and related...
