Prototype of the first electric motorcycle

28.10.2022

Kawasaki unveiled a prototype of the first electric motorcycle. It will hit the market next year and will be similar to 125cc models like the Z125 and Ninja 125. Kawasaki is also known to be developing hybrid motorcycle modifications and converting its engines to synthetic and biofuels.

The prototype electric motorcycle presented by Kawasaki at the Intermot show in Cologne will form the basis of the future production model. It will be an analogue of a 125 cc motorcycle. Its premiere will take place before the end of the year, and the motorcycle will appear on the market in 2023. According to some reports, the electric Kawasaki uses a frame from the Z400 and a number of components from the Z300 or Ninja 300.

In 2022, the company will show three electric models, and by 2025 there will be ten of them in the brand's portfolio. But this does not mean abandoning the development of fuel motorcycles, although they want to transfer them to synthetic and biofuels. Also in the work are hybrids capable of moving at low speeds exclusively on electric traction.

The Canadian brand Can-Am will also produce electric bikes. Two models have already been announced: the off-road Origin and the urban Pulse. Technical characteristics are also not disclosed, but it is known that the Austrian Rotax will supply the power plant for them. The release of electric motorcycles on the world market is scheduled for mid-2024.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

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, ... >>

Portable speaker Sony Extra Bass SRS-XB33 16.05.2020

Sony has introduced a portable speaker Extra Bass SRS-XB33. It may also be of interest to those who spend time outdoors and place high demands on the endurance of electronic devices. The shock-resistant housing and IP67 rating make the Extra Bass SRS-XB33 a good choice for such cases.

From the younger model Extra Bass SRS-XB23, the Extra Bass SRS-XB33 speaker differs in shape, large size and weight. At the cost of increasing the size to 97 x 106 x 246 mm and weighing up to 1,1 kg, the designers were able to double the battery life, that is, the column works without recharging up to 24 hours.

The configuration and characteristics of the Extra Bass SRS-XB33 do not differ from the Extra Bass SRS-XB23. A pair of X-Balanced loudspeakers with non-circular cones and a pair of passive radiators are responsible for sound reproduction. The declared range of reproducible frequencies is 20-20 Hz. The Bluetooth 000 interface is used for connection. The list of supported profiles includes A5.0DP, AVRCP, HSP, HFP and SPP, while the list of codecs includes SBC, AAC and LDAC. For charging, use the USB-C port. Cable included.

The price of the new item is $150. Four color options are available.
