Zero Motorcycles recently announced the all-new, state-of-the-art battery-powered Zero X dirt bike which will be included in the Green Power Prix-View (booth #2212). Green Power Prix-View will display alternative energy vehicles and on-circuit activities with vehicles ranging from hydrogen-powered cars to robotic vehicles.
Oorja Protonics, the industry leaders in ultra-powerful Direct Methanol Fuels Cells (DMFCs) will give the first public showing of their innovative OorjaPac(TM) on-board battery charging system for the material handling industry.
Nanotechnology could improve the life of the lithium batteries used in portable devices, including laptop computers, mp3 players, and mobile phones.
Lithium-ion batteries supply the power for cell phones and PDAs, and larger devices such as laptops, cordless screwdrivers and lawnmowers are becoming increasingly dependent on this power source. The advantage of these power storage devices lies in their high energy density and voltage (up to four volts).
Saft, the world's leading manufacturer of high-end batteries for defense applications, was recently awarded a multi-year follow-on contract by BAE Systems for Future Combat Systems (FCS), the Army's premier modernization initiative led by the Lead Systems Integrator team of Boeing and partner Science Applications International Corporation.
SUPERB Industries Inc. has introduced a solar power technology that can be disguised as a corporate logo, brand ID or high-tech decal. It is ideal for situations where running wiring is cost-prohibitive and in applications where conventional power sources are not available.
In the framework of Holst Centre, IMEC has developed a battery-free wireless 2-channel EEG* system powered by a hybrid power supply using body heat and ambient light. The hybrid power supply combines a thermoelectric generator that uses the heat dissipated from a person's temples and silicon photovoltaic cells.
Oxford Instruments announces the launch of a new, robust X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyser -the X MET5000, for accurate and reliable identification of pollutants in soil. The X-MET5000 represents the 4th generation of Oxford Instruments' hand-held analyzers.
Steeply rising oil prices and a strong focus on the climate have made fuel-saving hybrid technology particularly interesting. Volvo Trucks is now taking an important step towards commercialisation of this technology for heavy vehicles by launching two hybrid refuse trucks that will be tested in regular daily operations in Sweden by refuse collection firms Renova and Ragn-Sells.
Plug in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are set to raise their niche profile and become more mainstream. The global market for PHEVs is poised for expansion, with major vehicle manufacturers pronouncing plans for their production. Issues related to the cost and safety of lithium ion batteries, used in PHEVs, are being resolved. Simultaneously, efforts are on to boost production volumes and achieve related decrease in costs.
