IoT-ize Your Old Gadgets With a Mechanical Hijacking Device

Cars That Think

If there's one specific device that you'd like to automate in one specific, many cheaper alternatives may be available (like connected power switches), or it could even be cheaper to buy an entirely new device. But doing so is wasteful, whereas the MHD potentially gives a smart new life to many old things.

Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

Cars That Think

Fortunately, though, at wearables’ modest power budgets, energy is effectively everywhere. But we do actually need that energy to be generated,” says Alper Bozkurt, who with Veena Misra codirects the Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) at North Carolina State University. milliwatts.

Looking to get in a hybrid for cheap? Used Toyota Prius 1.5 HSD 2004-2009 Review

Green Car Congress

Power steering is electric and as a result we don’t need to check the power steering oil level as there isn’t any. During reversing, the Prius is powered only by the electric motor.

Solar Energy - A Way To Cut Down On High Energy Costs

DIY Electric Car

Cutting our energy usage by using energy efficient appliances is one option, cutting wasteful energy usage is another, building green homes that use lower energy is yet another option. Installing home solar panels and generating electricity to power our various needs is option that needs to be explored energetically.

Green Cars Part 4- Compressed Air

DIY Electric Car

Like hydrogen the air is not actually the source of energy, it is the storage medium, but unlike hydrogen the production of an air powered car is surprisingly cheap. Again compared to battery electrics the storage medium (tank) is not limited by a shelf life or number of cycles and therefore reduces waste.

Electric Vehicles Open-up New Business Opportunities

Get Electric Vehicle

The necessity of research facilities, complex power train components, well-established brands, competition, etc. For example, there is a pedal-powered hybrid electric motorcycle developed by E-Rockit. A power train is a group of components in a vehicle, that generate power and deliver to the surface where the vehicle travels.
