The original Inductrack concept (invented for trains by Richard F Post at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) is described in Wikipedia thus:
“…a passive, fail-safe electrodynamic magnetic levitation system, using only unpowered loops of wire in the track and permanent magnets (arranged into Halbach arrays) on the vehicle to achieve magnetic levitation.
The benefits of using Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) in braking is already evident from motorsports and production hybrid-electric vehicles. Another area that has a high potential for KERS implementation is the suspension system.
SERS is a suspension energy recovery system that employs a patented reciprocation technique to increase the input frequency to a linear generator,
A single Pivoting Axle mounted at each fore-and-aft end of an EV platform and controlled by a simple CPU enables it to accelerate, decelerate, steer, dampen and theoretically brake without resorting to any additional hardware components. It’s all controlled by software codes!
The application of additive manufacturing has allowed a research team at The University of Bath (UK) to significantly improve the achievable performance of SiC and other wide band gap semiconductor devices, allowing an increase in inverter performance that will improve the efficiency, packaging and energy density of electric vehicle powertrains across all transport sectors.
Rideable Carry-on Electric Vehicle is a motorized suitcase which is designed to overcome the burden of carrying luggage. A person can sit on the suitcase and drive. It provides a comfortable ride and can be easily controlled. The structure of the smart suitcase is made of high strength aluminum.
The concept presented will be able to prevent snow from the trunk of the car, in the trunk cargo space. As soon as the trunk opens, the settled snow, either on the rear window or on the trunk lid, will slide into the trunk area.
Looking at the Fuel Economy in India i.e. ARAI Fuel Economy during Testing v/s Actual riding Condition by Customer on Road, there is always variation in fuel economy, which is possibly due to Fuel QTY Variation in fuel testing.
This is why Fuel filing process is Doubtful in Major Cities Where fuel Consumption is very High.
Coastal cities continue to face flooding, and one solution for sustainable development is buoyancy. Floating on the surface above the rising tides, vessels have inherent seismic resistance and the lack of costly deep foundations. Modular construction of large structures also lend themselves to ease of deployment, especially in response to disasters.
AutoRing is a new type of Dash Cam. However, instead of filming what is going on outside the car, it is set to record break-ins. Owners have a security fob that disarms the system when doors are opened, but if a thief enters the vehicle,
Internal combustion engines are ubiquitous machines powering the global economy. They are employed in commercial vehicles, trucks (off/on-road), marine propulsion, aircraft, and power generation. Engine manufacturers worldwide are under constant pressure from governments to improve fuel efficiency and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, the average efficiency of internal combustion engines is 40%.
