Scottish Enterprise project converting train to hydrogen power

Green Car Congress

A retired ScotRail Class 314 electric set has been transported by road from its depot in Glasgow to the Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway where it will be converted to hydrogen-powered—a cleaner, greener alternative to diesel for non-electrified routes. —Transport Secretary Michael Matheson.

SwRI develops device to test friction, wear associated with EV fluids

Green Car Congress

Traditional fluid testing tools, however, were not developed to effectively analyze lubricant properties in electrified environments. An inverter takes the direct current (DC) voltage input from the batteries and converts it to the AC power required to operate the vehicle’s motor. That extends to tribology testing as well.

Brookhaven team develops molybdenum-soy catalyst that rivals performance of noble metals for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

The hybrid material effectively catalyzes the conversion of liquid water to hydrogen gas while remaining stable in an acidic environment. This artificial photosynthetic process mimics how plants convert those same ingredients to energy in the form of sugars. Energy Environ. Source: BNL. Click to enlarge.

Ukraine Is Riddled With Land Mines. Drones and AI Can Help

Cars That Think

In 2019, we trained a machine learning model by scattering inert PFM-1 land mines and collecting visual imagery via drone flights in various environments, including roads, urban areas, grassy fields, and places with taller vegetation. Our resulting model correctly detected 92 percent of PFM-1s in these environments, on average.
