The energy sector is in a constant state of evolution, with researchers and innovators around the world seeking new ways to power our planet sustainably. One particularly thought-provoking concept making waves in recent headlines is the idea of generating electricity from the Earth’s rotation — not through wind or tidal forces, but from its movement through the planet’s own magnetic field. Could this be a breakthrough in clean energy? Or is it just an intriguing theory that lacks real-world viability?

Harnessing the Sun: The Innovative Rise of Solar Railways
As the global push towards sustainability gains momentum, one of the most innovative adaptations in the transportation sector is the integration of solar energy into railway systems. Known as solar railways, this initiative not only propels the rail industry towards energy autonomy but also sets a benchmark in environmental stewardship. In this this article, we dig a little deeper into how countries like France, Switzerland and India are leading the charge with pioneering projects designed to revolutionise rail transport (pardon the pun).

Solar power seems the most likely renewable energy solution when looking into the future. This conversion of energy turns sunlight into electricity, either directly through photovoltaics (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power or a combination. But now, Caltech is taking this a step further by collecting solar power in space and sending it to Earth but before we get into Caltech’s Space Solar Power Project (SSPP), let’s take a quick look at what solar power is.
