Tiny electric car Rimono

25.05.2016

The Japanese company Rimono has demonstrated a prototype of an unusual mini-car with an electric power plant, designed for operation in urban environments.

The compact electric car has dimensions of only 2200 x 1000 x 1300 mm. It can carry two adults who sit down one behind the other. If necessary, two child seats can be placed in the rear.

In its current form, the main body elements are covered with a durable waterproof fabric, which is usually used in the manufacture of various canopies. The machine weighs 320 kg. In the final version, the developers intend to endow their offspring with a body made of special lightweight plastic, which will reduce the weight to 200 kg.

The car uses an electric motor with a power of 5 kW. The maximum speed is planned to be limited to 45 km / h, which will reduce the requirements for drivers: persons allowed to ride a moped will be able to drive a city car.

On one charge of the battery pack, the car will be able to cover a distance of up to 50 km, which will be quite enough for trips around the city. Batteries can be easily replaced, which will save time on recharging. It is planned to bring the car to the market in the summer of 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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Extreme Smartphone Ulefone Armor 12 5G 12.08.2021

Ulefone has introduced a new smartphone indestructible series - Armor 12 5G. Interestingly, the manufacturer positions the model as "the world's first rugged smartphone with antibacterial coating", as well as "the world's first rugged 5G smartphone with HiFi speakers", but marketing aside, there are other interesting features.

The smartphone will begin accepting pre-orders from August 23, and the exact amount of the discount has not yet been announced. From August 27 to September 2, the model will be available to order for $279,99, and from September 2, the price will become standard - $399,99.

The smartphone is equipped with a 6,52-inch screen with a waterdrop notch for the front camera with a resolution of 16 MP, a quadruple main camera (48 MP, 8 MP, 2 and 2 MP).

The 5180mAh battery supports 18W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. The hardware basis was the MediaTek Dimensity 700 single-chip system, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal flash memory. There's a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, NFC, FM radio (no headset), customizable hardware button, Android 11 out of the box, and a suite of apps for everything from construction to mountaineering.

The coatings are created using silver ions to slow down the growth of bacteria on the surface. Stereo speakers provide a maximum volume of 106 dB.

The smartphone received protection against water (IP68 / IP69K) and resistant to drops (1,2 m), it complies with the US military standard MIL-STD810G.
