Wireless data speed record closes in on 1 Terabit per second

Slow Wi-Fi is a modern bugbear for many people, but thankfully we might soon be cranking those speeds up. Scientists at University College London (UCL) have set a new world record in wireless data transmission speeds, sending a blistering 938 Gigabits … Continue reading Wireless data speed record closes in on 1 Terabit per second

Why KTM’s new Auto/Manual Transmission needs a Park gear

KTM’s all-new Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) is rolling out on the upcoming 1390 Super Adventure tourer, and the company claims it’ll change the way we ride motorcycles. It comes with a P – N – 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 gear sequence – and of course, … Continue reading Why KTM’s new Auto/Manual Transmission needs a Park gear

Watch: A peek inside DJI’s 5.5 lb, palm-sized 77 lb-ft drive system

DJI, which nearly everyone knows as the drone company, made the jump into the electric mountain bike (eMTB) sector this year with the DJI Avinox Drive System. We just wanted to show you the clever inner workings of the setup, which brings some unique f… Continue reading Watch: A peek inside DJI’s 5.5 lb, palm-sized 77 lb-ft drive system

Retrotechtacular: Powerline Sagging and Stringing in the 1950s

While high-voltage transmission lines are probably the most visible components of the electrical grid, they’re certainly among the least appreciated. They go largely unnoticed by the general public — quick, …read more Continue reading Retrotechtacular: Powerline Sagging and Stringing in the 1950s
