Idaho National Laboratory experts have developed a new tool, Caldera. The foundation of the Caldera software platform is a library of high-fidelity EV charging models derived from extensive charging and battery testing data that INL has collected over the past decade. Caldera fills a clear technology gap. One set of existing tools enables simulation of transportation networks,
There is a significant need for coal and coal miners in the modern world. With the increase in the demand for coal miners, they experience higher risks to life. A smart helmet is an upgraded version of a miners' original helmet. This smart helmet has the necessary elements to make the coal miners' lives more manageable. To ensure safety,
The high cost of carbon nanotube (CNT) materials stifles broader access to energy applications. Also, CNTs are mainly produced in Asia, whilst the majority of customers are in Europe or the USA, implying large shipping costs and potential for supply chain disruption. In addition, plastic recycling systems struggle with mixed streams and are not environmentally sensitive.
The POWERBLoK system can replace the Lead, Cobalt, Cadmium, and Lithium used in common batteries with no thermal runaway risks.
Additionally per the 01/26/21 Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) assessment of the UCAP Power POWERBLoK,
1) Figure shows rotary motion of a special merry-go-round with propeller on frame F1 where the centrifugal force due to machine motion tends to be balanced by active centripetal force depending on length of horizontal part of the mounting frame and plurarity of double cone wheels on inclined v shaped tracts where F1 tends to slide downwards
The NerraTrac continuously variable transmission (CVT) utilizes a traction drive in a traction fluid (high viscosity lubricant) that ‘solidifies’ momentarily between two hardened metal surfaces under high contact pressure, thus providing a traction force. It employs the same elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication principle used by all current automotive CVT transmissions.
The NerraTrac CVT uses a commercially available traction fluid,
Anti-pinch technology is a safety system that is present in power windows of modern vehicles. The power window is the window that uses an electric motor to operate. As the name anti-pinch suggests, this window prevents the accidental winding up of the power window. If the system senses any obstacle in the path of the glass,
Did you know that every plane is equipped with a so called fuel tank inerting system that is used to suppress the oxygen concentration at low level to prevent an unexpected explosion accident? Yes, every airplane has all that to secure the aviation traffic safety, based on the guideline by FAA.
Conventional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates are usually performed by Ag-or-Au metal nanoparticles (Ag,Au-MNPs) in suspension-or-solid substrates. The SERS mechanism is widely explained by the hot spots and shape of Ag,Au-MNPs. Here,
This innovation relates to the field of opposed piston internal combustion engines (OP-ICE) having two pistons in one cylinder configured to have facing heads. Specifically, this engine (hereinafter “the Engine”) architecture shows the following features relative to a comparable design:
Compact size: The new architecture solves a size issue.
