Venturi Formula E racer features electric drive from ZF

Green Car Congress

For the current, fifth season of the championship, ZF developed an electric drive for the Venturi team, including an electric motor, a newly developed transmission and power electronics. We developed our drive concept in just a few months, which was important because we only had one and a half years until the first trials on the race track.

Hydrogen Opposed Piston Engine Working Group formed

Green Car Congress

The direct injection two-stroke engine could be a very promising and interesting option for hydrogen combustion to achieve zero NO x because of its advantages of high-power density and inherent much lower NO x emissions. Achates Power expects close to the same level of thermal efficiency with hydrogen as a fuel. Fuel Injection.

Concept: Compact Two-Cycle, Co-generating Piston-Driven Turbine to Deliver 60+% Efficiency

Green Car Congress

He worked for the Korf Steel company in Saudi Arabia as head of IT. The sinus discs also helps the efficiency of the generator—30 kW of engine power will run a 30 kW generator. With a traditional crank spinning from the center, you need a higher rated engine power than generator power. About the Inventor.
