今年十月,洛克希德·马丁公司称他们已经完成了一项重大科技突破,能够在十年内将聚变反应堆的规模缩小到在一辆卡车上就可进行。这项设计采用“磁镜约束”技术来控制整个反应。如果该公司真的能够制造出这种小型的核聚变反应堆,那将大大改变能源领域的现状。
Wireless Electricity
4.无线充电
We already have wireless Internet and wireless phones. Why, then, are everyday appliances still shackled to the wall? To be sure, there are a few power-mat chargers for small gadgets like phones. But WiTricity, based in Watertown, Mass., is thinking big. Its technology—involving a plug-in coil that creates a magnetic field, which in turn powers objects as far away as 8 ft. (2.4 m)—has been tested on Toyota electric cars (with charging mats), Intel PCs (with charging pads) and more. Within 10 years, says CEO Alex Gruzen, rooms could be wired so that all appliances—lamps, TVs, stereos—pull power from a central charging base.
我们已经有了无线网络和无线手机,那为什么日常的家用电器还离不开墙上的插座呢?目前手机的无线充电已经实现,但是来自美国马萨诸塞州沃特敦的WiTricity公司决定让无线充电走的更远。他们研发的技术包含一个可以产生磁场的插电式线圈,能够为距离在8英尺(2.4米)以内的电器进行充电。目前该技术已经在丰田的汽车和英特尔的个人电脑上成功实验。该公司的CEO亚历克斯·格鲁泽在十年之内该技术会被应用在房间里,到时候包括点灯、电视、音响等所有电器都可以通过一个集中的充电设备进行无线充电。
