Being in a wheelchair for long periods at a time can be difficult on the body in a number of ways. One issue, particularly common in the summer, is the back not receiving enough ventilation. This prevents cooling of the back, creates the buildup of sweat, and discomfort. A new device is now on KickStarter looking for crowdfunding that may be a cheap and easy solution to keeping the back cool and comfortable.

Tech Will Save Us hasannounced the launch of their ‘Dough Universe’ Kickstarter campaign. The campaign seeks to support three new make-it-yourself kits that use conductive dough and basic circuits to get kids learning about the fundamentals of electricity through light, movement and sound.

A hybrid bus that runs on both diesel and liquid nitrogen has completed a rigorous series of trials to bring it one step closer to the road. Built by engineers at HORIBA MIRA as part of an Innovate UK consortium, the company claims that thehybrid bus - CE Power - is the world’s first to be powered by liquid nitrogen.The bus utilises alternative propulsion to address urban air pollution challenges and features a high-efficiency, zero emissio...

The wirewound resistor – alive and kicking, byPhil Ebbert, VP Engineering, Riedon.As with every other type of component, the techniques for fabricating resistors have changed over the years as new technology and materials emerge.

If your regime for protection against electrical surges starts and ends with fitting a lightning conductor to the top of your building, then not only are you unlikely to be fully protected against all lightning induced surges, but probably thousands of pounds’ worth of equipment is aging prematurely as well. Chris Lloyd, Managing Director of Spelsberg UK, look further at the causes of electrical surges and the importance of protective measu...

The largest European research initiative to date in the field of Industry 4.0, ‘Productive4.0’ has been launched at Infineon Technologies in Dresden.Coordinated by Infineon Technologies AG, more than 100 partners from 19 European countries will work on digitising and networking industry.

From smartphones to automobiles and the electric grid, energy storage is becoming more critical. For mobile devices, the need is clear for safe, longer lasting, energy dense chemistries. For automobiles, the move to hybrid, electric, and autonomous vehicles has increased the bounty to be had for denser and lighter storage. As for the electric grid, it stands to benefit from load balancing using a combination of the IoT (smart grid)and localised e...
