When the first hybrid cars hit showrooms roughly two decades ago, they were dismissed as science projects. But now, hybrid powertrains can be found in everything from high-end supercars, to humble taxis, and even in commercial vehicles.Hybrids will become even more common over the next decade or so as automakers go to significant lengths to comply with strict emissions…
Researchers have long been working on finding a way to benefit from temperature differences to produce electricity. And now a group of scientists from Penn State and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have developed a new flexible thermoelectric generator that can convert wasted heat into electricity by wrapping around hot surfaces like exhaust pipes. A large amount…
Engineers are the inventors, designers, analysers and builders of our modern age. They create the machines, structures and systems we use on a daily basis, most of the time without thinking twice about the work that went into them. The constrains of physics, the confines of the manufacturing technology of the modern age, the limitations…
The electric vehicle industry is looking to solve the problem of rare earth metals, which are increasingly hard to source ethically without sacrificing motor efficiency. BMW fifth generation electric motor which will power its new BMW iX M60 provides a solution that combines an old school sensibility with high tech EV technology to actually improve…
