fuel cell Mercedes

18.03.2014

Mercedes-Benz is developing "next generation environmentally friendly fuel cell vehicles".

Mercedes already has experience in this area. In particular, the company has developed the B-Class F-CELL model. In this car, hydrogen is stored in three tanks at a pressure of 700 bar. They are able to take together a little less than 4 kg of gaseous fuel. The tanks, according to the manufacturer, are absolutely hermetic and even when the machine is idle for a long time, they do not allow hydrogen to escape. Due to the high degree of gas compression, the B-Class F-CELL manages to cover distances of up to 400 km on a single filling.

The permanent magnet synchronous motor develops a peak power of 100 kW/136 hp. With. and a nominal torque of 290 Nm, characteristic of electric power plants, which is available to the driver from the first turn. A high-voltage lithium-ion battery is used as a source of stored energy.

For the B-Class F-CELL, Mercedes-Benz has further developed the fuel cell electric drive strategy. When starting a "cold" electric motor at low temperatures, it receives energy from both a lithium-ion battery and a "booting" fuel cell system. At higher temperatures, battery power is usually sufficient, while the fuel cells are connected later, depending on the load. While the vehicle is in motion, the energy management system keeps the F-CELL drive in the optimum operating range at all times. The lithium-ion battery dynamically compensates for power demand differences depending on the current driving situation.

With each braking and during periods without a foot on the gas pedal, the electric motor recovers the kinetic energy of the moving car, turning it into electrical energy, which is then stored in the battery.

It is reported that the next generation fuel cell car will use an advanced propulsion system. Market participants believe that it will be installed in a compact crossover. Apparently, the system is being developed jointly with Ford and Nissan in order to reduce the cost. An announcement is expected in 2017.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

NZXT RGB & Fan Controller 19.01.2020

NZXT announced the release of a device with the descriptive name RGB & Fan Controller, that is, the RGB backlight controller and fans. Access to the capabilities of the device is provided by the NZXT CAM program, which allows you to configure the backlight and fan profiles.

The NZXT RGB & Fan Controller has two RGB lighting channels with support for up to 40 individually addressable LEDs each, for a total of 80 addressable LEDs. You can connect LED strips, fan lights, and other system components to the controller. There are three fan control channels. Each of them is designed for a maximum load of 10 watts.

The dimensions of the controller are 74 x 15 x 64 mm. In the PC case, the device is attached with a magnet or Velcro. Power is supplied to the SATA connector, and the USB port is used for control.

The NZXT RGB & Fan Controller costs 25 euros. It should appear on the European market in early February.
