Solar lift with energy storage

09.12.2021

In the Italian city of Cuneo, located in the northern region of Piedmont, Italian photovoltaic module manufacturer FuturaSun has installed a solar energy storage system to power a panoramic elevator.

The pilot project is part of the Store4HUC program funded by the European Regional Development Fund and is the first of four projects developed in Austria, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. The goal is to develop renewable energy production systems with sustainable storage in historic city centers across Europe.

In Cuneo, the newly installed elevator is an inclined system that rises to a height of 28 meters and connects the car park to the city centre. The elevator is powered not only by a solar installation and batteries, but also by the energy produced by the elevator itself during its movement due to the gravitational storage.

The photovoltaic plant, with a peak power of 8,84 kW, was connected to the grid in October and deployed along the path of the lift. It consists of 26 FuturaSun Next Pro monocrystalline photovoltaic panels with a power of 340 W and a size of 1 ? 684 mm from 1 PERC cells with semi-cut tires, with a total area of 002 square meters.

According to a FuturaSun press release, this initiative is one of the first at the national and European level "aimed at optimizing the use of energy resources in a fixed transport system." The plant is expected to receive some remuneration from the Italian energy agency Gestore dei Servizi Energetici.

The new system, "Green Public Mobility", reduces the elevator's energy consumption, resulting in both a reduction in government spending and a reduction in carbon emissions.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Intoxication without alcohol 24.09.2019

A person can get drunk without even drinking alcohol. Such unusual results of the study were obtained by Japanese scientists.

It turned out that strains of the intestinal bacterium Klebsiella pneumonia are the main cause of intoxication without alcohol. According to scientists, it is they who can increase the level of alcohol in a person's blood above the norm. As a result, even those who do not drink alcohol at all can feel drunk.

"We were surprised that bacteria could produce so much alcohol," said study author Jing Yuan.

It is noted that in Beijing there was an unusual case with a man who does not drink alcohol at all, but his liver was inflamed, like an inveterate alcoholic. It turned out that the man had the so-called "internal brewery syndrome" or, as it is also called, "auto-fermentation syndrome." They arise just because of the work of bacteria of this type, the number of which in the body of a Beijinger exceeded the norm by 900 times.
