The development of vehicle components is a lengthy and therefore very costly process. Researchers have developed a method that can shorten the development phase of the powertrain of battery electric ...

Scientists from Stellenbosch University in South Africa have designed a new gravity energy storage system, based on linear electric machines (LEM), that could be used in decommissioned mines.

The Wimshurst machine is one of the oldest and best known electrostatic machines, consisting of its iconic two counter rotating disks and two Leyden jars. Most often you see someone hand ...

A Van de Graaff generator (pictured) or a Wimshurst machine can create electrostatic sparks Machines designed to generate static electricity, like Van de Graaff generators or Wimshurst machines ...

In addition, JCB has developed a new rapid Universal Charger which is compatible with current and future E-TECH electric machines. “The pace of change is rapid, and we need to be equally quick ...

Over the past several years, manufacturers have teased battery electric compact machine prototypes at major industry shows. But until very recently, the availability of actual production machines ...

This electrostatic machine will spark from the round discharge electrodes when the crank is turned steadily. The crank rotates Plexiglas wheels that have small metal discs on them. Redistribution of ...
