Ultra-compact electric vehicle iEV Z

20.02.2022

The Danish company iEV Motors has introduced a very compact electric car iEV Z, whose dimensions are 78 cm wide, 145 cm high and 198 cm long - the latter figure may vary depending on the needs of the owner. The machine weighs only 220 kg.

If the owner of the iEV Z needs to put a passenger in the passenger compartment, the drives of the electric vehicle fold out the second seat behind the driver’s seat and extend the body up to 235 cm. In addition to the passenger, luggage can also be loaded into the passenger compartment, increasing the length of the car up to 275 cm. .

You should not expect advanced technical characteristics from such an electric car: there is only one motor with a power of 1 kW (1,36 hp), which accelerates the car to 45 km / h, and a battery with a capacity of 3,3 kWh provides a cruising range of 100 km and fully charged in 3 hours. Solar panels on the roof serve as an additional power source. If local laws allow, the automaker says, this electric car can even be driven in bike lanes.

The ultra-compact iEV Z will go on sale later this year. The first 50 buyers will be able to purchase it for 5 euros. Some time later, an advanced version of the iEV Z + car will appear.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

Biodiversity conservation with vanilla 20.08.2022

Researchers at the Georg August University of Göttingen in Germany have come up with a new way to preserve biodiversity using vanilla.

According to the researchers, vanilla plantations established on fallow lands in Madagascar do not differ in yield from plantations established in the forest. In addition, cultivation on fallow lands also increases biodiversity in these areas.

Growing vanilla in the forest rather than on fallow land resulted in a 23% loss of all species, and a 47% reduction in endemic species, the scientists say.

The discovery of scientists will help restore the biodiversity of Madagascar.
