- Watch your fuel burning in 3-D
- You've probably noticed that it costs you more to fill the gas tank of your car than a year ago. There are many reasons for this, but it's important to remember that 85 percent of U.S. energy needs are fueled by combustion, as reminds us Horst Simon, for Scientific Computing....

- Roasting biomass to produce more energy
- According to engineers at the University of Leeds, UK, it is possible to use torrefaction, a process usually associated with coffee production, to increase the energy content of some of some crops by up to 20 per cent. Not only torrefaction would lead to an increase of the energy extracted...

It's as hopeless as a carriage-builder in the early 20th century saying that using motors instead of horses is just another locomotion option for carriages. It ignores the wider revolution that's...
