In this global era, scientists are in search for the production of more electrical energy by means of different resources to meet the needs of society.
Electrical energy is produced by the help of different energies such as mechanical and heat, and so on. In this way, it is an artificial energy.
The lightning you see in thunderstorms is pure electricity generated by the water molecules. We are unable to utilize this electrical energy as it would not meet the current needs of the world because clouds may not form this energy in abundance. But nature has bestowed our planet Earth with different sources to produce energy. [Read more…] about Best electrical energy resources
Mitsubishi Electric says it will start construction of a new plant on the premises of its subsidiary Mitsubishi Electric Automotive India in Gujarat, India.
The company’s new plant, along with one in Manesar, Haryana, will enable MEAI to expand its output of products such as motor-control units for electric power steering, exhaust gas recirculation valves and giant magnet-resistance sensors.
The demand for these components is expected to grow in line with increasing sales of vehicles offering enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions in the Indian market. [Read more…] about Mitsubishi Electric’s new plant in India to produce automotive products
Hitachi has delivered its elevator system to Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre, a skyscraper complex building in Guangzhou, China.
The building has the Guinness World Records title as having the world’s fastest elevator. The presentation ceremony for the award of the official certificate was held recently.
This elevator travels with a rated speed of 1,260 metres per minute and connects the ground floor to the hotel lobby on the 95th floor in approximately 42 seconds, over a distance of 440 metres. [Read more…] about Hitachi delivers ‘world’s fastest’ elevator to skyscraper
Powering zero-emission, autonomous container transportation with direct current charging infrastructure
ABB has won a contract from ST Engineering Land Systems to deliver and commission integrated smart charging points for automated guided vehicles (AGV) in the new Tuas port of Singapore.
Deliveries of the vehicles, which will be deployed to transport heavy shipping containers at the port terminal, are scheduled to begin from September 2020 through to August 2022.
The ABB chargers and supporting infrastructure are set to be installed towards the end of 2020. [Read more…] about ABB to electrify automated vehicles for new port in Singapore
Denso says it will expand the plant of its semiconductor production plant which it operates under the name Denso Hokkaido, one of its group companies.
The measure is part of Denso’s efforts to increase production of semiconductor sensors, enhance its domestic production system and boost Denso group’s competitiveness.
Denso will invest about 11 billion yen ($103 million) by 2025 to complete the expansion and increase production. [Read more…] about Denso Hokkaido to expand semiconductor sensors production plant

S2A Modular, which claims to offer the first electrically self-sustaining, custom and smart-connected luxury residence, the GreenLuxHome, has established a first-ever “turnkey licensing program” of its kind, allowing qualified partners to build GreenLux residential and commercial buildings anywhere across North America and the world.
Through this unique licensing program, licensees will be able to create S2A Modular’s GreenLux buildings in new markets using coveted resources from a variety of entities.
Joining S2A’s GreenLux revolution: Demand is already high – with several hundred units already pre-ordered across North America and internationally. [Read more…] about S2A Modular takes its ‘self-sustaining’ home construction offering global
House built using robots and 3D printing technologies claimed to be a first
ETH university in Zurich, in partnership with industrial companies, has built what is claimed to be “the world’s first” inhabited house to be digitally planned and digitally built with the help of robots and 3D printers. (See video below.)
Called the “DFAB House” (main picture), the construction is part of a project that involves the Empa materials science and technology project and Eawag, an aquatic research company. [Read more…] about House built using robotic and digital technologies claimed to be ‘world’s first’
ABB, the industrial giant with a massive business in power generation equipment, and electric vehicle network operator Fastned Charging have opened their 100th electric vehicle charging location in the Netherlands.
The companies say Europe is introducing stricter emission targets from 2020, so their partnership Fastned and ABB is “facilitating the electric revolution set to transform European highways”.
Since the launch of the pilot Fastned project in The Netherlands in 2013, the close working relationship between Fastned and ABB has facilitated the successful launch of charging sites across the Netherlands and Germany, with the UK’s first high power station launching in Sunderland just a couple of months ago.
