The new engine comes with an electronically-controlled waste-gate to optimize flow and improve low-end torque and throttle response. It requires no active cooling system and can therefore be stored within the spare-wheel well, ensuring luggage space is not compromised. Up to 15 kg of gas can be stored in the tank at 200 bar pressure.

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering have used waste glass bottles and a low-cost chemical process to fabricate nanosilicon anodes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. An open access paper describing the research was published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.

million to a project to develop a high-efficiency engine system that integrates a compact micro-hybrid configuration of a supercharger with an electric waste heat recovery system and employs high rates of recirculated exhaust gases. The project— Split Micro-hybrid Boosting Enabling Highly Diluted Combustion —is headed by Anna G.

Air turns to liquid when refrigerated to -196 ˚C, and can be conveniently stored in insulated but unpressurized vessels. Ambient or low grade waste heat is used as an energy source with the cryogen providing both the working fluid and heat sink. Earlier post.)

Under the new F1 regulations, the engine has been formally replaced by the Power Unit, comprising six separate elements: the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE); Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K); Motor Generator Unit-Heat (MGU-H); the Energy Store (ES); the Turbocharger (TC); and Control Electronics (CE).
