'World's first' forum for linear power systems technology
Linear Power 2015, held at the University of Brighton from 7th to 8th September, will be the 'world’s first' technology forum for linear power systems technology researchers and application developers. The debate on how free piston linear power systems could transform how electrical power is generated, how vehicles are powered, how heating and cooling are provided and how energy is stored is gaining in momentum, and the forum will bring the...
Rig trials to validate small scale 20kWe system
A new type of automotive waste heat recovery system has been fired up on a recently commissioned test rig at the University of Brighton. The organic rankine cycle test rig uses a novel linear free piston expander to overcome the technical and economic barriers to using rankine cycle technology for automotive waste heat recovery.
Detect switch features a 7.5mm long stroke
A small detect switch, which features a 7.5mm long stroke and silver contacts with a self-clean sliding mechanism, has been released by NIDEC COPAL ELECTRONICS. The CF-DA switch, part of the company’s FUJISOKU brand, is offered with a snap-in type mounting bracket and connector terminals to ease installation and wiring.

Electric Traction Motors For Electric Vehicles See 17.4% CAGR Over Next Decade
All electric vehicles have at least one traction motor, so the market for electric vehicle traction motors is one of the largest markets for electric vehicle parts and a primary determinant of the performance and affordability of a given vehicle. Indeed, IDTechEx Research find in a new report, Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles 2013-2023: Forecasts, Technologies, Players, that in 2013 44.6 million electric motors will be needed for vehicles, r...
Microchip Technology Delivers 12 Billionth PIC Microcontroller to Nidec Corporation
Microchip Technology today announced the shipment of its 12 billionth PIC microcontroller to the Nidec Corporation—a preeminent global supplier of precision motors, based in Japan. Microchip delivered this 12 billionth MCU approximately 10 months after delivering its 11 billionth.
Opportunities for power electronics in electric vehicles
The day is coming when electric vehicles (EVs) land, water and airborne are as much as 80% electronics and electrics if we include the power components. It is even true of hybrids as they shed piston engines and employ ever smaller range extenders, the fuel cell option being fully electric.
Miniature Slide Switches for Professional Industrial Applications
Copal Electronics is expanding its portfolio of miniature slide switches for professional industrial applications with the addition of two new CL-SA series. The 1-pole switches in a grid dimension of 2.54 mm, with two switching positions and connection pins at straight or right angles, are ideal for substituting jumper pins. The contact ratings are DC 50 V 500 mA for non-switching and DC 12 V 500 mA for switching.
CPT says 48V initiative will help facilitate energy recuperation for a new generation of affordable super fuel efficient cars
The UK-based low carbon engine technology specialist, Controlled Power Technologies (CPT), says that the new 48 volt standard proposed by leading automakers provides an ideal compromise for performance and cost in the development of a new generation of affordable super fuel efficient cars. With global CO2 emission targets rapidly converging, the auto industry has only a decade to achieve almost another 30 per cent reduction by 2022 putting pres...
Electric Vehicles become less poisonous
Most green technologies are not so green on closer examination but at least the situation can be improved. Electric vehicles are no exception.
