Schaeffler secures volume orders for commercial vehicle electric traction motors, hybrid modules

Green Car Congress

It also features wave winding technology, an innovation that makes installation less complex and increases power density. In wave winding, several wires are wound onto the winding blade, which moves along one step for each winding. Schaeffler has also secured a volume production order for hybrid modules.

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

Green Car Congress

HyMag significantly increases the usable magnetic flux density of a permanent magnet by 10 to 30 percent, leading to a significant improvement in the energy efficiency of electric motors and wind turbine generators. But for wind turbines, the peak temperature can be up to 300 ?C,

Can We Harness Kinetic Energy to Reduce our Carbon Footprint?

Clean Fleet Report

Turning motion into electricity Wind turbines are a prime example of harnessing kinetic energy from the movement of air molecules. These turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electricity. See more at E Magazine. Send questions to: question@earthtalk.org.

Opinion: Consumer Reports’ Tesla Autopilot stunt crossed a line in an already-heated EV climate

Teslarati

The magazine was successful in its aim, but it also demonstrated that it takes a very determined driver and an elaborate set of procedures to bypass Tesla’s driver-monitoring systems. . The magazine’s team seemed to have buckled in the driver’s seatbelt without a person sitting in the seat. Only it didn’t.

MAN CEO: “impossible” for hydrogen to compete with BEVs

Baua Electric

It’s one thing to have the technology and another thing for the technology to be viable,” Vlaskamp told the Spanish-language magazine Expansión ( translated from Spanish ). Vlaskamp begins by pointing out that green hydrogen is much more expensive to produce than producing electricity from renewable sources like wind and solar.
