The whole PLAN of Nitin Gadkari is as complicated and unrelated with each other as the title… will he pull it off or will it be another false dawn?
The drive to indigenously develop lithium ion battery technology for automotive applications in India is on track and will be ready as early as mid-2017, say ARAI officials.
Dont know if a Steel company should be more interested than an Aluminum company in making Electric cars but here is one of India’s biggest conglomerates toying with the idea of making electric cars!!! One way would be to make different lightweight body for electric cars, rickshaws, motorcycles & scooters!
Infrastructure group JSW plans to diversify into electric car… Continue reading →
After Ford, Maruti too pulls out of International Consortium for EVs called xEV. This consortium created about 1 year ago consisted of Industry leaders like Tata-Mahindra-Maruti-Suzuki-Toyota-Ford.
What is interesting to note is that more than Toyota & Ford it is the Indian companies Tata & Mahindra who have developed and showcased and even sold Electric cars. (Actually if not for the stupid Cyrus “Mystery” even Tata Nano EV would have been on the streets by now because they had showcased the car around the same time as Reva NXR aka E2O.
This all weather kayak reminds me or Noha’s Ark… this could also develop into a military missile or torpedo to attach enemy ships!
Solar Voyager is a project carried out by a couple of friends Isaac Penny and Christopher Sam Soon for the past four years and has seen really became reality last June 1 to leave terra firma. There is a long road ahead, and possibly reaching end French, Spanish or Portuguese coasts, depending on weather conditions.
With a size of four meters long and one meter wide, the “kayak” has enough room for two solar panels that give life during the four months last estimate that route. It’s funny, but the guys are looking for people at different points where you can get Solar Voyager, as the vehicle will reach that point in October, and none will be there to receive it. It is possible to follow the direct course of Solar Voyager, this link, and the time when we write these lines, it takes 526 kilometers. The statistics are updated every 15 minutes via satellite. As the boat was designed in the United States but actually created in Singapore. Almost everything in it has been created quite a craft, and carries solar panels 240W. Obviously this is a type of panels designed to withstand bad weather and moisture will live for many months in the middle of an ocean.
Although 250W solar panels are available, in this video, we explore how to determine:
how much power a 100W solar panel will generate?,
what size battery and charge controller you need to store the power,
what you can power with it and for how long?
We also show you how to do the calculations for yourself to figure out what you could do with off grid solar. Note that at minute 7, we included a deration for the inverter losses. Since we are talking about what size battery is needed to put power in, not taking power out, we don’t need to do that step. The battery can be 5% smaller than we calculated.
Trying to find water in the Atacama Desert, the driest place on earth, can be a big problem. The village Falda Verde has a solution: a system of netting that collects drops of water from fog, known locally as la camanchaca.
Smartflower POP is delivered as an all-in-one complete system and is operational within an hour. No complex assembly is required: the system is firmly bolted to the ground (or concrete foundation) at the location of your choice. It is designed… Continue reading →
