Tidal/River Details
Sea-Lix’ hydrokinetic strategy, that of energy conversion units for tidal and river applications, aim at the “community” segment, i.e. of units of a capacity up to 250 kW. These may be sea-bed based or alternatively “barged”. At present Sea-Lix is in the process of planning the installation of a trial turbine at Vargfjorden, a side-fjord to the Ofotfjorden in ...

New vans more fuel efficient
The average van sold in 2013 was around 4 % more efficient than the previous year, so the new vans fleet has already met the collective carbon emissions target ahead of the 2017 deadline, preliminary data shows. Similar findings were recently published for new cars, which have also met their target in advance. There were 1.2 million new vans registered in 2013, with average emissions of 173.3 g ...

Detecting risky residual currents using differential current measurement: operating electrical systems safely with RC monitoring
Residual currents in low voltage networks represent a fundamental safety risk, if they go undetected or if they are detected too late. They may cause operations to be interrupted unexpectedly, incurring damage to man and machine and in the final instance, leading to high costs. "Detect early, warn and take action" are the watchwords in risk prevention. Permanent monitoring of residual currents is ...

New quantum dot process could lead to super-efficient light-producing technology
Polarised light forms the basis of many technologies, such as computer monitors. However, current approaches for making polarised light are inefficient, as they produce more than is ultimately used or needed. Researchers may now have found a way to directly produce polarised light using tiny nanostructures, called quantum dots, opening the way for more energy-efficient technologies. Most light ...
