Webinar Tues 4 August: High Power Energy Harvesting 2016-2026

IDTechEx are hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 4 August 2015.

New event IDTechEx Sensors USA to debut in Santa Clara

IDTechEx the leader in market research and events on emerging technologies has announced the launch of a new event on sensors. The conference and exhibition will take place on November 18-19, 2015 in Santa Clara, CA.

The intelligent soldier system - military wearables

On May 19th 2015, IDTechEx attended a conference aboard HMS Belfast in London, bringing together senior military innovation personnel with acting servicemen and technical innovators in relevant fields. The topic for discussion was wearable technology for the military.

From 2D to 3D Printed Electronics 2015-2025

In 2012 a tsunami of media hype began around consumer 3D printing that turned a lacklustre 30-year-old technology into a household name and created massive growth in the industry even among large established players.

3D printing in the automotive industry

As part of a series of IDTechEx articles examining the impact of each of the technologies we cover on the automotive industry, Rachel Gordon presents the uses of 3D printing in the production of vehicles.

Precision Microdrives

PMD are a motor company based in London UK. They design, manufacture (via contractors), test and advise on motor applications, around ERM motors and LRAs.

General Vibration

General Vibration are a small firm that hold design patents around a new type of motor for haptic feedback. Their Gemini drive involves dual motors, which are controlled in a way that allows shorter rise times than normal ERM motors.

IRENA roadmap to 27% renewable

In June 2014, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) launched a global renewable energy roadmap called REmap 2030.

Electric vehicle will offer free non-stop road travel

The new IDTechEx Research report, "High Power Energy Harvesting 2015-2025" (www.IDTechEx.com/high) appraises the many new ways in which the vehicle will internally harvest energy that is currently wasted as tyre and brake heat etc. so it needs much less externally supplied energy to get along. That alone will get us to a range of up to 1000 miles. In this article, let us look at how the increasingly infrequent charging can be done automatically without involving the driver and how it can grab externally-supplied electricity created from free ambient energy.

Are 3D printers robots?

The 3D printing industry continues to go from strength to strength. So much so that, depending upon your definition of "robot", half of the market value for industrial robotics will be robots working as 3D printers by 2026.

Towards higher voltage supercapacitors for consumer electronics

In this instalment of our graphene series we discuss commercialising flexible graphene supercapacitors.

Air-brush deposition for high performance graphene based supercaps

Another instalment in our series on the graphene industry.

High power energy harvesting and OGRE

HPEH is the clean part of the off-grid renewable energy (OGRE) market which includes burning biomass. High power energy harvesting is production of 10W-100kW+ off-grid electricity where it is needed using ambient energy - light, heat, movement etc. for vehicles and static places.

Global electricity storage market for renewables

International and national assessments of the global electricity storage market have been hindered by uncertainty about which technologies and market segments to include. A central question for this roadmap is whether storage is used to support the integration of renewables or for other purposes.

Insight Forums Tokyo 2015 - Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage

IDTechEx will be back in Tokyo, Japan for their highly regarded series of Business Insight Forums.

Electric vehicles harvest more power

Many land, water and airborne electric vehicles harvest all the energy they need. They never plug in. It is the way of the future.

IDTechEx - 3D Printing Technology Insight Forum, Tokyo 2015

IDTechEx will be back in Tokyo, Japan for their highly regarded series of Business Insight Forums. Taking place at the UDX Conference Center on 29 September, this expert-led Insight Forum will provide you with critical business intelligence and the latest insights into the 3D printing market.

Jenax

Jenax has been listed on KOSDAQ, South Korea's Stock Exchange, since 2002. Its main business is in the iron and steel industry. It started to diversify into flexible batteries around 2010 and showed its first flexible battery prototype in 2015 at CES in Las Vegas, USA and in the Wearable Expo in Tokyo, Japan.

Bess-tech

Bess-Tech is commercializing a technology to manufacture doped Si anodes for Li ion batteries. The difference with direct competitors is that the anode is a direct silicon carpet on current collectors, and is not supplied as a Si-C composite.
