Smaller and faster – the WARR Hyperloop team wins again
Sensors, resistors and relays from Panasonic have contributed to a smaller, faster Hyperloop pod designed by a team of students from Technical University in Munich (TUM) that was celebrating its third consecutive win in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod competition.
European Student Earth Orbiter ready for launch
The European Student Earth Orbiter (ESEO) is an educational micro-satellite, which involved European university students during the whole project life cycle.
RS plays major role at inaugural electronica Experience
The inaugural ‘electronica Experience’ at this year’s show in Munich (November 13-16) will see RS Components (RS) playing a prominent role. Taking place in the brand new Hall C6, the electronica Experience aims to deliver advice and a first-hand technology experience to young people to help inspire them to pursue a career in engineering.
WARR Hyperloop team wins SpaceX Hyperloop challenge
Nicomatic has announced that the WARR Hyperloop Team from the Technische Universität of Munich (TUM) has won the 2018 SpaceX Hyperloop Pod competition by going almost 50% faster than in 2017, achieving a final speed of 467km/h. Nicomatic is the team’s only connector sponsor and Nicomatic’s micro-connectors contributed to this success by delivering reliable performance under challenging race conditions, while minimising space and ...
How do we prepare a spacecraft for launch?
Revisit the 18th April2018, launch of NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
InnoTrans 2018: rLoop pod for high speed Hyperloop transport system
At Innotrans taking place between the 18th-21st September in Berlin, TE Connectivity will showcase a model of the rLoop pod designed for the futuristic Hyperloop high speed transport system conceived by Elon Musk.
Pushing the frontiers of knowledge at the SpaceX Hyperloop competition
Panasonic Industry has announced its sponsorship of the WARR Hyperloop team from the Technical University in Munich (TUM) which is taking part in the third annual SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition this summer. The Hyperloop is a new transportation concept for a high speed train to travel in a near-vacuum tube. The vacuum-tube allows the capsule to travel at supersonic speed - faster than any commercial train or car in the foreseeable future.
WARR Hyperloop reaches 290mph with Infineon chips
In what is reportedly the fastest time ever measured on a test track, Team WARR Hyperloop of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) reached 290mph with its pod during Elon Musk's third Hyperloop competition.
Will EVs start to take up SiC and drive prices to parity with silicon?
Wide band-gap devices have yet to break into the EV market in a meaningful way, but the stage is set for them to become the technology of choice as they drop in cost and demonstrate the performance and reliability needed. ByAnup Bhalla, VP Engineering at UnitedSiC.
Satellite aims to discover thousands of nearby exoplanets
There are potentially thousands of planets that lie just outside our solar system — galactic neighbours that could be rocky worlds or more tenuous collections of gas and dust. Where are these closest exoplanets located? And which of them might we be able to probe for clues to their composition and even habitability? The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will be the first to seek out these nearby worlds.
