Instead of wasting kinetic energy during swing braking, the Cat Hydraulic Hybrid Swing System pressurizes the accumulator to stop the machine and then uses that pressure when needed to accelerate the machine later. Productivity can be tracked from the cab, with quick access to payload weights, load and cycle counts, and daily totals.

Simple, effective solutions that can help lessen the impact of climate change already exist. That’s according to 2023 IEEE President Saifur Rahman , who was among the speakers from engineering organizations at the COP27 event held in Egypt in November. Some of them still need to be implemented, though, while others need to be improved.

BMW dedicated a portion of its recent Innovation Days 2009 event to the topic of Intelligent Heat management as a mechanism for reducing fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. The remaining two-thirds are lost as waste heat going into the environment through the car’s exhaust emissions and through the radiator. Heating with waste heat.

The 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with ventilated discs were part of the regenerative charging system, an energy recovery process taking the usually wasted friction and heat from braking or coasting, and converting kinetic energy into stored energy. As part of these events we may be offered free transportation, lodging or meals.

They also produce little or no radioactive waste. To create the pulses, the Helion device will depend on large banks of capacitors that will store a whopping 50 megajoules of energy and discharge it in less than a millisecond—over and over again.

Maria was not an isolated event—since it struck, eight major storms have either hit the island directly or passed close enough to have caused flooding or power losses. So, vulnerable communities in Puerto Rico and elsewhere must decide how they will cope with future disasters, intensified by the effects of a changing climate.

At an event in Sacramento, California, Volvo Trucks announced that it will commercialize dimethyl ether (DME)-powered heavy-duty commercial vehicles in North America, with limited production beginning in 2015. Unlike LNG, it does not require cryogenic temperatures; it is handled and stored like propane, with tank pressures of only 75 psi (vs.

This makes it possible for the waste heat from the electrical drive components to be made available to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro. While they store a high amount of energy compared to the other designs, their power output is comparatively low. The tanks can store around five kilograms (11.0 liters (1.0

Inspired by natural forms and in partnership with innovative start-ups, engineers used advanced digital tools to lower weight and reduce waste by removing excess material assisted by 3D printing. The lid is made from a unique, sustainable composite material derived from sugar-cane waste, reinforced with carbon fiber, as used in Formula 1.

With World Earth Day only a week away (22/04/2021), we have decided what better way to embrace this event than for everyone to get involved in some new ‘ green habits’ for 1 month in the spirit of myenergi’s very own Green Reset. Reduce food miles & minimise waste. Cut costs, cut waste and saves on washing up!
