BIT, FAW team develops turbocharged, DI hydrogen engine; high power and efficiency, near-zero NOx

Green Car Congress

Peak power of 120 kW @ 4400 rpm and a maximum torque of 340 N·m @ 2000 rpm can be achieved with the matched turbocharger. The direct-injection (DI) hydrogen engine can offer large power with low cost and rely less on hydrogen purity. of 1.91 @ 2000 rpm and 40.4% A paper on the study appears in the journal Fuel.

New stable Fe3O4/C composite material for conversion electrode in solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Europe, with colleagues from Samsung R&D Institute in Japan, have developed a highly stable Fe 3 O 4 /C composite for use as a conversion electrode in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. In addition, recently a new chemistry has surfaced, allowing to store more Li + by the so-called conversion mechanism.

How Ted Hoff Invented the First Microprocessor

Cars That Think

Busicom had hired Intel to develop a set of custom chips for a low-cost calculator and had sent three engineers to Santa Clara to work on the chip designs. The Intel marketing department they estimated that sales [of microprocessors] might total only 2000 chips a year. You’re crazy.” But word went out.
