Those technologies won't include the excessively expensive option of nuclear power; instead, eventually we will live in a world of "micropower" where small-scale power plants use first natural gas and then renewable sources like wind and sun to turn hydrogen into plentiful and cheap energy. ❋ McKibben, Bill (2004)
"For too long it has been hard to get information about home renewables, also known as micropower, †says Duncan McLaren, Chief Executive of Friends of the Earth Scotland. “Today we're cutting through the uncertainty and myths by launching our Micropower Audit website. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Distributed generation relies on small-scale, micropower devices. ❋ Unknown (2010)
What's more, we know how to fix micropower devices, so even if portions of a decentralized energy system are disabled or destroyed, they can be repaired or rebuilt quickly. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Distributed generation relies on fairly simple micropower devices like solar roofs and small scale wind turbines. ❋ Byron Kennard (2010)
In 2006, the global net capacity added by nuclear power was only 83 percent of that added by solar cells, 10 percent that of wind power and 3 percent that of micropower. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Campaign groups such as the Green Alliance have been pushing for micropower generation technologies, such as micro-CHP (combined heat and power) boilers – a vital part of microgrids – mini-wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) solar arrays. ❋ Unknown (2005)
By encouraging Internet users spaced at 200 'intervals around your hometown to download the same Internet radio station and rebroadcast it over cheap-lass low-power FM emitters, you can create a micropower city-wide radio-station. ❋ Unknown (2003)
From microprocessor to micropower - an enormous centrifugal shift is underway. ❋ Samuel Vaknin (N/A)
A second switched output can be enabled by the host in order to power devices that do not have a micropower shutdown capability. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The micropower operation provides an alternative to resistor/capacitor-based timers that often require milliwatts of power. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Current projects and those already successfully transferred to industry include: an opto-acoustic recanalization device for treating ischemic stroke; a miniature x-ray source which is mounted on a microcatheter and used to treat coronary artery restenosis; micropower impulse radar for numerous medical diagnostics including differentiating hemorrhagic vs. ischemic stroke; an implantable, continuous glucose monitor and ultra-short-pulse laser ❋ Unknown (2010)
The technologies under development include innovative sensors and actuators, ultra-low-power DSPs, low-power analog circuitry, ultralow-power wireless technology, and micropower-generation technologies. ❋ Unknown (2010)
