Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

GE Haliade-X Offshore Wind Turbine 26.12.2022

GE Renewable Energy announced that its 12MW+ Haliade-X wind turbine received full type certification for operation up to 14,7MW from DNV (the world's largest independent certification body).

DNV is an internationally accredited registrar and classification society headquartered in Hevik, Norway. Previously, Haliade-X received certification confirming that the turbine can operate at up to 13,6 MW.

The full type certificate is a test of the safety and reliability of the turbines, according to the design specifications (Haliade-X is currently the largest wind turbine with full certification).

The certification process for Haliade-X (14.7 MW) included a series of tests on a prototype located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The prototype has been extensively tested since November 2019 and has set several world records for continuous power output in a single day.

“At DNV, we forecast 2 TW of installed offshore wind power by 2050. This development is also linked to larger turbines such as GE's Haliade-X. Increasing the size of the turbines, blades and tower will improve the capacity factors. We are pleased to support GE with our certification services to provide safe and reliable wind turbines that support the growth of wind power,” said Kim Sandgaard-Merck, Executive Vice President, Renewable Energy Certification at DNV

The GE Haliade-X 14,7 MW-220 offshore wind turbine alone can generate up to 76 GWh of gross annual power generation. It has the potential to power the equivalent of 20 European households and avoid nearly 000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

The 14,7 MW Haliade-X will be commissioned for the first time at the 3,6 GW Dogger Bank wind farm in the UK, which will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world when completed. It is a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Equinor and Vargronn, located off the east coast of Yorkshire.

Due to its size and scale, Dogger Bank is being built in three consecutive phases: A, B and C. Dogger C will use 87 Haliade-X 14 MW turbines. The first three phases will provide electricity to up to six million homes in the UK (there are about 28,1 million households in the country). In the case of the implementation of the fourth phase, the capacity of the world's largest offshore wind farm will reach almost 5 GW.
