A University at Buffalo team has proposed a new form of power MOSFET transistor that can handle incredibly high voltages with minimal thickness, heralding an efficiency increase in the power electronics of electric vehicles.Continue ReadingCategory: El… Continue reading Ultra-high voltage transistors aim to boost EV range and efficiency
At 1,750 horsepower (on E85 fuel), the ludicrous rear-wheel drive SSC Tuatara hypercar is designed to break 300 mph (482 km/h). So it barely gets into 4th gear on the hectic sprint from 60-120 mph (100-200 km/h) in this newly released video.Continue Re… Continue reading Watch the 1750-hp SSC Tuatara blast from 60-120mph in 2.5 seconds
A California company says its new “turbo air-cooled” fuel cell design can deliver three times the power and four times the lifespan of a regular fuel cell, opening the door for high-speed, long-range, hydrogen-powered electric VTOL aircraft.Continue Re… Continue reading HyPoint’s “turbo fuel cells” promise huge range and power for eVTOLs

Plenty of folk these days buy cameras with the intention of pointing them mainly at themselves, and Sony has put together a neat little compact that’s laser-focused on content creators who want beautiful video with zero learning curve.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Sony unveils its attempt at the ultimate no-learning-curve vlog camera
The Czech Republic’s first 3D-printed house will go up next month, to demonstrate the speed and effectiveness of a construction technique that is claimed to be seven times faster and half the cost of building a brick house.Continue ReadingCategory: Arc… Continue reading Stylish, asymmetric floating house will be 3D-printed in 48 hours
German company Sinn Power has proposed a hybrid offshore power generation platform that combines wind turbines, solar panels and wave energy harvesters to generate off-grid electricity for people living close to the coast.Continue ReadingCategory: Ener… Continue reading Floating ocean platform harvests wind, solar and wave energy
Rocking up to a group ride on an MV Agusta has long been the kind of thing to raise eyebrows. An MV rider, eh? What are we looking at here, a dyed-in-the-wool old-school Agostini fan? A lover of fine Italian design? A fastidious bike-washer? You can be… Continue reading MV Agusta starts production on special edition Rush 1000 dragster
At last year’s Geneva Auto Show, we caught our first glimpse of the extraordinary Arcfox GT, a Chinese electric hypercar with a monstrous power output that puts it right up there among the world’s most powerful cars. We didn’t, however, get a chance to… Continue reading The Arcfox GT: China’s 1,600-horsepower all-electric hypercar
Electric VTOL air taxis are one of the great emerging technologies of our time, promising to unlock the skies as traffic-free, high-speed, 3D commuting routes. Much quieter and cheaper than helicopter travel, they’ll also run on zero-local-emission ele… Continue reading State of the game: The key players in the emerging eVTOL air taxi market
