Smart temperature regulation increases EV range by up to 25 percent

Electric cars' limited range, especially in the winter months, has provoked a lot of discussion. Having the heating on can mean that the range of a lot of electric cars shrinks considerably.

Energy harvesting: microwatts to megawatts

Energy harvesting is a term that now encompasses creating microwatts to megawatts of off-grid electricity using ambient energy such as heat, light, wind and waves. That means big business for those seeing the big picture.

New conductive ink enables 3D printing on plastic, fabric, even paper

Sicrys™ inks enable the use of fast, inexpensive inkjet printing technologies, including 3D printed electronics, to bring intelligence to virtually any object.

Install base of 3D printing for metals jumped 43% in 2014

3D printing of metals is facilitating the transition to additive manufacturing from rapid prototyping. Printing in plastics has its place in prototyping and education, but metal printing has allowed the technology to be adopted for part production in the aerospace, orthopedic, dental and jewelry industries and is now being developed for the oil and gas, printed electronics, and general engineering industries.

CPT aims for near full-hybrid capability with new SpeedTorq unit

The application by Controlled Power Technologies of a switched-reluctance motor-generator deep into the driveline, as well as being applied directly to a petrol or diesel engine, will enable the technology developer to deliver to carmakers and tier 1 driveline system developers an almost full-hybrid functional capability.
