Three-wheeled electric car Arcimoto FUV Evergreen Edition

08.02.2019

Arcimoto has announced the start of pre-orders for its "flagship electric car" FUV Evergreen Edition.

The electric car has a top speed of 120 km/h. Without recharging, he can drive 160 km around the city. The FUV Evergreen Edition features heated seats and grips, removable doors, a lockable trunk, a Level 1 charging cable and a Bluetooth wireless speaker system.

The price of new items is $19. The manufacturer specifies that, depending on where they live, US buyers can expect sales tax exemptions, utility discounts, free parking, toll discounts, insurance discounts and other benefits.

For now, pre-orders can be made in Oregon, California, and Washington. The first 100 vehicles are planned to be shipped to customers by the end of June 2019.

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, ... >>

Charging electric vehicles while driving 19.05.2021

The problem of battery charging is one of the reasons preventing the widespread use of electric vehicles. Perhaps the development of researchers from Cornell University in the USA, who have created a technology for charging batteries while an electric car is in motion, will help solve it.

The development was led by Khurram Afridi University, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, who has been working on a project for the past seven years to introduce infrastructure for wireless car charging on American roads.

In their work, the researchers used the achievements of Nikola Tesla, who 100 years ago used alternating electric fields to power flashlights that were not connected to the network. The new technology involves embedding special metal plates in the roadway connected to a power line and a high-frequency inverter. These plates will create alternating electric fields that attract and repel pairs of plates attached to the bottom of the electric vehicle, generating power.

Researchers have already made some progress. With their technology, electric vehicles with a ground clearance of up to 18 cm can be propelled. In addition, charging continues even if the electric vehicle is driven on a road with plates that are several meters apart and not completely aligned. The new technology can now fully charge the battery of a small electric vehicle such as the Nissan Leaf in 4-5 hours.

The main difficulties during the development process were related to the selection of suitable components that could withstand high voltage, as well as suitable for use in different weather conditions.

To integrate the new technology, major repairs of public roads will have to be carried out, which requires the allocation of huge funds. According to scientists, electrification should begin with busy highways and main roads in large American cities.
