Continuously variable ebike transmission promises up to 20% more range

The Orbit Drive promises an ebike transmission, built into the motor housing, that lasts for thousands of miles without maintenance, boosts efficiency and range, allows regenerative braking, and comes out lighter than most ebike drive systems.Continue … Continue reading Continuously variable ebike transmission promises up to 20% more range

Replace Your Automatic Transmission With a Bunch of Relays

A “Check Engine” light on your dashboard could mean anything from a loose gas cap to a wallet-destroying repair in the offing. For [Dean Segovis], his CEL was indicating a …read more Continue reading Replace Your Automatic Transmission With a Bunch of Relays

Laser satellite shatters space-to-Earth data transmission speed record

A small satellite developed by MIT engineers has set a new record for data transmission between a satellite and Earth. The TeraByte InfraRed Delivery (TBIRD) system used a laser to beam huge amounts of data at up to 100 gigabits per second (Gbps).Conti… Continue reading Laser satellite shatters space-to-Earth data transmission speed record

Speed record shattered for data transmission over standard optical fiber

Engineers have set a new speed record for data transmission through a standard diameter optical fiber. By beaming 55 “modes” of signals down a single-core optical fiber, the team was able to transmit at a data rate of 1.53 petabits per second (Pbit/s)….

Homebrew Optical Sensor Helps Your Diesel Pass the Smoke Test

We’ve all heard of the smoke test, and we know that it’s the lowest possible bar for performance of an electronic device. If it doesn’t burst into flames when power …read more Continue reading Homebrew Optical Sensor Helps Your Diesel Pass the Smoke Test

Blistering data transmission record clocks over 1 petabit per second

Researchers in Japan have clocked a new speed record for data transmission – a blistering 1.02 petabits per second (Pb/s). Better yet, the breakthrough was achieved using optical fiber cables that should be compatible with existing infrastructure.Conti… Continue reading Blistering data transmission record clocks over 1 petabit per second
