Smart electric scooters Gogoro

06.04.2015

Gogoro has named the first city to host all-electric Smartscooter EV vehicles unveiled at CES 2015 in January.

The Smartscooter EV is an environmentally friendly scooter with an electric motor that delivers 8,6 horsepower. With. and provides a torque of 25 Nm. According to the developers, the vehicle can accelerate to 50 km / h in 4,2 seconds, its maximum speed is limited to 95 km / h. The charge of the battery pack is enough for almost 100 km at an average speed of 40 km/h.

It is reported that a pilot program to test electric scooters and a network of battery replacement stations will soon start in Taipei. The design of Smartscooter is such that it takes only a few seconds to remove dead batteries and install new ones at specialized GoStation sites.

It is noted that the cost of Smartscooter will be comparable to the price of conventional two-wheeled scooters. However, owners will have to purchase a subscription to use GoStation stations. The problem is that you can't charge the batteries yourself. The only way to replenish the energy supply is to replace the power supply at one of the points in the GoStation network. At the same time, users through a special mobile application will be able to track the level of charge of the two battery packs installed on board the scooter and search for nearby “gas stations”.

Commercial operation of the Smartscooter in Taipei will begin in the summer. If the tests of new vehicles are successful, they can take to the streets of North American and European cities.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Rose oil instead of pesticides 02.04.2024

In search of safer and more environmentally sustainable methods of plant protection, scientists around the world are exploring alternative approaches to the use of pesticides. One of these promising areas is the use of essential oils.

Researchers from Tokyo University of Science, led by Professor Genichiro Arimura, conducted a series of experiments to evaluate the potential of essential oils in protecting plants from pests. Particular attention was paid to the effectiveness of rose oil (REO) in protecting tomatoes from insect pests.

The results of the study showed that treating tomato plants with REO significantly increased their resistance to harmful insects. Tomatoes treated with rose oil had less leaf damage caused by moths and mites compared to untreated plants. Field trials also confirmed the effectiveness of rose oil, reducing damage to tomatoes by 45,5%.

Professor Arimura notes that the key component of REO is beta-citronellol, which is known for its insect repellent effects. In addition, rose oil attracts mite predators, which creates an additional barrier to plant protection.

This research opens new perspectives for the development of safer and more environmentally friendly plant protection methods. Based on scientific findings, new organic farming systems can be developed and effective and natural pesticides can be created.

Rose oil represents a promising alternative route to agricultural pest control. Its effectiveness and safety make it an attractive option to replace chemical pesticides. Research in this area not only helps improve organic farming methods, but also preserves biodiversity and ecological balance in nature.
