Nanotechnology Making Generators More Efficient

Siemens is searching for insulators that will make generators more efficient. The electrical energy in generators is generated in copper bars insulated against high electrical voltages with thick layers of plastic. New materials would enable a thinner design for these insulators, freeing up space for thicker bars in which ultimately more energy could be generated.
