New Nissan Qashqai in Europe to offer 12V MHEV and upgraded e-POWER powertrains

Green Car Congress

When decelerating, energy is recovered through regeneration and stored in the Lithium-ion battery. When coasting to a stop, at speeds of less than 18 km/h, and ‘brake on’, the engine will switch off and the stored energy is used to power the vehicle’s electrical equipment. This makes driving simpler and more relaxing.

IEEE’s Plan To Help Combat Climate Change

Cars That Think

Efforts include the work done by societies such as the IEEE Power & Energy Society , to which I belong; conferences such as the IEEE Sustainable Power and Energy Conference ; publications including IEEE Electrification ; and technical standards, like IEEE 1547 for connecting distributed energy resources to the grid.

The Vacuum Tube’s Forgotten Rival

A second wire also wrapped around the core forms a control winding. The control winding includes many turns of wire, so by passing a relatively small direct current through it, the iron core can be forced into or out of saturation. After winding, the module was annealed in hydrogen at 1,100 °C for 2 hours and then rapidly cooled.

Renault unveils Next Two autonomous electric vehicle prototype for 2020

Green Car Congress

The Next Two prototype—based on a Renault ZOE—focuses on two areas: the delegation of driving functions under certain conditions and connectivity. With Next Two, we wanted to combine the worlds of delegated driving and connectivity. Connectivity. Autonomous driving Connected vehicles Electric (Battery)'

Robert Kahn: The Great Interconnector

Cars That Think

The ARPANET Is Born Kahn wasn’t the only one thinking about connecting disparate computers in the 1960s. In 1965, Larry Roberts, then at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory , connected one computer in Massachusetts to another in California over a telephone line. I remember renting a conference room at the Cabana Hyatt in Palo Alto,” Kahn says.

Inside the Global Race to Tap Potent Offshore Wind

Cars That Think

One day soon, a platform 50 times as large may float in the deep waters of the North Sea, buoying up a massive wind turbine to harvest the steady, strong breezes there. About an hour’s ride up the coast, full-scale 3,000-tonne behemoths already float in Aberdeen Bay, capturing enough wind energy to electrify nearly 35,000 Scottish households.
