Vibration energy harvesting: Where is the money?

Energy harvesting is off-grid production of electricity where it is needed using ambient energy such as wind, tide and waves or just vibration.

Defiant Electric Roadster receives expo sponsorship from IDTechEx

DTechEx announced that Shockwave Motors was selected to receive a generous show sponsorship for the International Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing Expo.

MicroContinuum

We recently caught up with MicroContinuum, a US based firm with capability to create micron- to nano-sized patterns on rolls of flexible substrates such as polymers and metallic films.

Webinar Tuesday 1 November - Electric Vehicles Change the World

IDTechEx are hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 1 November 2016 presented by Chairman Dr Peter Harrop.

Electric vehicles: witness how everything is changing

Next month organizations from over 40 countries will converge at the Santa Clara Convention Center on November 16-17 to showcase the latest innovations and highlight the latest commercial progress with electric vehicles. The event is held in the heart of silicon valley, the hub for mobility innovation. Here are a few of the reasons why you should be there.

Why you need to attend energy harvesting USA next month

On Nov 16-17 Energy Harvesting USA will bring together all the key topics on energy harvesting and its application at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The event is the largest in the US on energy harvesting, now in its eight year, and is the event to attend to expand your network, meet customers, partners and achieve business, all in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Here comes the next key enabling technology for electric vehicles

The new IDTechEx Research report, Electric Vehicle Energy Harvesting/ Regeneration 2017-2037 explains and forecasts the technologies involved in this newly key enabling technology.

Highlights to look forward to at Printed Electronics USA next month

Next month, the largest event on printed, organic and flexible electronics ever held will open at the Santa Clara Convention Center, on Nov 16th and 17th. Featuring over 200 exhibitors and over 220 speakers and attended by over 3000 attendees, the event covers the lively new innovations and user insights in the heart of Silicon Valley. Here are a few of the reasons why you should be there.

FIS Inc

David Pugh spoke with Ms. Junko Yanagitani (manager/engineer), Ms. Hiroko Shimizu (strategy planning manager) and Mr Hideaki Akahane (sales developing manager) on the future of gas sensing and FIS technology.

Blueshift Materials

IDTechEx Technology Analyst Dr Richard Collins interviewed Tim Burbey (CEO) from Blueshift International Materials. A company that produces polymer aerogel products.

Solar hydrogen refuelling station in London

IDTechEx believes that the window of opportunity for fuel cell vehicles in mainstream applications is closing. Whereas Battery Electric Vehicles increasingly have green electricity, fuel cell vehicles almost entirely use hydrogen from fossil fuels and even that is expensive.

Structural electronics for EV heating

EVs use a lot of their precious electricity  heating occupiers in winter so improvements are afoot. Making replacements for dumb structural parts that double as occupant focussed heating has attraction as has directed infrared - "heat the person not the space" but less focussed heat pumps are efficient contenders

When will 48V mild hybrids become EVs?

48V mild hybrids will start series production at many automotive manufacturers in 2017 with many others following shortly after.

Electric vehicles: next comes the melodrama

Electric vehicles have gone from curiosity to being a frequent news item and, if you live in Norway or the Netherlands, something you see often. However, that is nothing compared to EVs shaking the foundations of society over the coming decade from robot agriculture and delivery to almost free travel in sunny countries and almost eliminating air pollution even in mining.

Agricultural robots are data acquisition tools at heart

Agricultural robots will accelerate an enormous global value chain reconfiguration, bringing the endgame of ultra-precision automated farming ever closer.

Flow batteries in cars?

At IDTechEx we are convinced that lithium-ion batteries will dominate the automotive scene over the coming ten years and possibly the coming fifteen years. During that time we shall see peak lead acid battery the biggest nail in its coffin being when electric vehicles more widely abandon them and even those conventional vehicles modified to stay legal under impending carbon dioxide laws abandon them, relying totally on lithium-ion units.  

The spectre of free 3D models

There has been an increasing trend towards hobbyists buying designs to 3D print on their own 3D printers at home, rather than do the difficult design work themselves. Brands are now trying to sell 3D designs rather than physical products. But the internet is full of free designs, and customers can't always tell the real things from the fakes. This has important implications for consumer safety, but also for the livelihoods of freelance designers. IDTechEx invited Martynas Klimas of CG Trader to explain the problems and implications.

Webinar Tuesday 25 October - solid-state and polymer batteries

IDTechEx are hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 25 October 2016 titled Solid-State and Polymer Batteries - the coming of age of a safer and better technology.
