Developing a liquid radio antenna
by David Bradley, Inderscience
November 29, 2021
Solid, metal antennae have been the standard in a wide range of
technologies for decades, including a wide variety of radio
communications and scanning such as radar. However, research into
the concept of liquid antennae was discussed in the 1990s. A
liquid antenna would comprise a lightweight and perhaps
collapsible container that could be erected into the appropriate
shape and filled with a suitable liquid. Water, saltwater, ionic
liquids, and other substances have been investigated over the
years.
New work in the International Journal of Ultra Wideband
Communications and Systems offers a novel design of a conical
structure for a liquid antenna that can operate effectively
across a wide frequency range. The antenna is compact and cost
effective the team reports as well as offering a simple way to
reconfigure it for different applications, something that is not
easy with a solid metal antenna. Conical antennae are usually the
form required for radio-frequency broadcast.
S. Roopa and E. Kiran Kumar of the Siddaganga Institute of
Technology Tumakuru, in Karnataka, India, have demonstrated proof
of principle for their new type of liquid antenna using pure
water, seawater, and glycerin as the liquid component. The device
can achieve voltage standing wave ratio of 1 to 2 over a
frequency range of 300 to 850 megahertz, the team reports. They
add that the gain achieved in experimental results was 2 dBi,
which is comparable with their simulations in which the gain is
around 1.9 dBi. The operating frequency is adjusted by changing
the height of liquid within the cone.
The team concludes that their proposed antenna is simple, low
cost, and covers a wide range of frequencies, which can be tuned
easily. The radio emission from the antenna is omnidirectional
and the fact that it is transparent gives it an additional
attractive design feature for the development of wireless
applications. In addition, the antenna is 30 to 40 percent
shorter than its equivalent metal antenna.

From TechXplore:
Researchers suggest battery-powered trains could very soon be
economically viable
by Bob Yirka
November 26, 2021
A small team of researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory and the University of California has found that
battery-powered trains could become economical as soon as 2023.
In their paper published in the journal Nature Energy, the group
argues that improved battery technology and cheap, renewable
energy could soon allow battery power to compete with diesel fuel
to power trains. Federico Zenith with NTNU, Trondheim, has
published a News & Views piece in the same journal issue
outlining the reasons for converting trains to battery power and
gives an overview of the work done by the team on this new
effort.
Trains, as Zenith notes, haul approximately 40 percent of
intercity freight in the U.S., and sending things by train is
cheaper than using trucks. Most of the freight trains in the U.S.
run on diesel fuel, he states, spewing approximately 0.6 percent
of total U.S. carbon emissions. In this new effort, the
researchers suggest that switching to battery power could prevent
these emissions.
Electric trains in the U.S. get their power from overhead lines—a
system that is expensive and inefficient. The team suggests that
batteries could provide a better option; more specifically, they
claim that a single locomotive equipped with a 14-megawatt
battery system would be sufficient to replace a train powered by
a diesel engine. They further claim that such a locomotive could
carry a train approximately 240 kilometers on a single charge.
This would consume half the energy of a diesel-powered train. And
if the battery is charged using a renewable resource, it would
reduce the carbon footprint of an electric train to zero.
The researchers note that most current diesel locomotives
actually run on electricity—the diesel is used to power onboard
generators. Thus, all that would be needed for most locomotives
would be to replace the generators and add a dedicated boxcar
just behind the locomotive to carry a large battery. Adding more
dedicated boxcars with batteries would increase the range of the
train. The batteries, they further note, could be charged at
designated stops, provided fast-chargers for such large batteries
are developed. As an alternative, battery-carrying boxcars could
be swapped out for fresh ones at designated stops, dramatically
reducing wait times. The researchers acknowledge that at least
for the near future, operating costs would be somewhat higher for
battery-powered trains, but they suggest the environmental
improvements would make it worth it.
