Feature: Wind-Powered Cars: Are They Possible?

Clean Fleet Report

Is Air Power Blowing Over the Horizon? However, some automakers are exploring different forms of green energy—specifically, wind. Are wind-powered cars a possibility, or are they something that’s likely to stay in the realm of science fiction? The Potential of Wind Power.

Argonne’s HyMag technology boosts usable magnetic flux density of permanent magnets by 10-30%

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) have developed a new magnet technology that could benefit virtually any technology that draws power from electric motors or generates power from generators. Flux density is a property of permanent magnets that can be harnessed for power generation.

More details on the Mercedes-Benz EQS

Green Car Congress

The new world record in aerodynamics for production cars with a Cd value of 0.202 contributes significantly to this. An eATS basically comprises an electric motor, a (spur) transmission, the differential and the power electronics. The stators with pull-in winding deliver a particularly strong magnetic field. kWh/100 km.

Mercedes-Benz unveils EQS electric luxury sedan

Green Car Congress

This makes the EQS the most aerodynamic production car in the world. The very low wind noise level contributes significantly to this. This allows decelerating to a standstill without using the brake pedal, while at the same time the range benefits from this recuperation strategy and the high recuperation power (up to 290 kW).

Mercedes brings five new EVs to IAA Mobility

Green Car Congress

After the EQA, the EQB is the second all-electric compact car from Mercedes-EQ. It will be the first purely electrically powered production vehicle from the Kecskemét plant in Hungary. The magnets—and thus the rotor—follow the rotating alternating current field in the stator windings.

One set of these questions centers around a general “feeling” – that is, “How much does owning and operating an EV ‘feel’ like owning and operating the gas-powered vehicles I’ve used throughout my life?” The future of EV development and infrastructure, in many ways, hinges on the perceived answers to this question.
