Europe Expands Virtual Borders To Thwart Migrants

Cars That Think

The ship’s captain stopped the engines, and the aircraft flashed its lights at the rubber boat. By delivering the migrants there, the masters of the Maltese vessels, and perhaps the European rescue authorities involved, may have violated the international law of the sea, which requires ship masters to return people they rescue to a safe port.

UT Austin researchers successfully spoof yacht at sea with false GPS signals

Green Car Congress

The purpose of the experiment, led by assistant professor Todd Humphreys of the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the Cockrell School of Engineering, was to measure the difficulty of carrying out a spoofing attack at sea and to determine how easily sensors in the ship’s command room could identify the threat.

DLR-led NEMESIS 2+ project develops compact direct steam reformer for diesel/biodiesel to H2

Green Car Congress

The NEMESIS2+ hydrogen generation system consists of a desulfurization module for liquid feedstock (diesel/biodiesel) followed by a reformer module, where catalytic conversion is accomplished by steam reforming with subsequent water-gas-shift reaction. —Stefan Martin, from the DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics in Stuttgart.

Powering Offshore Wind Farms With Numerical Modeling of Subsea Cables

Cars That Think

Installation and maintenance is easier to accomplish in shallow waters. This creates a new need for well-designed subsea cables that can reach longer distances, survive in deeper waters, and better connect our world with sustainable power. Wind turbines for offshore wind farms are starting to be built further out into the ocean.
