Audi handed Solutions of Free Pollution

WRONG one drawback to electric vehicles is not because of mileage and speed are limited, and not for charging the batteries that take a long time. The problem is, this vehicle remains re electrocuted (charge) to use electricity generated by coal-fired power plants or nuclear pollution and still have a bad impact on the environment.

Seeing this, the German car manufacturer Audi hopes to reduce this problem in the future through a vehicle that really does not produce CO2. And most importantly, not by planting some trees absorbing CO2 as did the other car makers.

This time, Audi launched a new initiative called 'Audi balanced mobility' and the principal in this aspect is the project 'e-gas'.

In a presentation in Hamburg, Germany at the weekend, Audi presented a concept that is very clean energy source and Audi will be involved directly in production. It's a very bold step compared to other vehicle manufacturers who limit themselves to buying clean energy from a third party.

Audi will build fasiitas energy generation utilizing wind power. The facility will be built in the North Sea. The electricity generated will be used in several different areas.

Production unit will take advantage of wind-powered generating electricity were to produce hydrogen through electrolysis process. Hydrogen can be used in future as an energy source for fuel-cell vehicles. The next step it will be developed to produce methane gas which can be referred to as e-gas. These gases are chemically identical to natural gas and fuel can be used as a conventional engine.

In 2013, Audi will launch a variant of the vehicle with the engine e-gas-fueled. Good again, e-gas generated can be channeled through all the existing fuel infrastructure now that present a solution to address how clean energy can be stored efficiently.

Electricity generated by wind-powered energy generation can certainly be attributed to the replenishment system of electric vehicle battery charging system that provides a truly environmentally friendly.

General Motors, owner of Patent Most Environmentally Friendly Technology

New York: American car manufacturers, General Motors (GM), registered as a company that pocketed most patents in the field of environmentally friendly technology throughout 2010.

Manufacturers are pocketing 135 patents, or 14 percent of 1881 total patents in that field who registered by 700 institutions.

"The patent is registered by GM including to technology in the field of hybrid and electric vehicles, to solar power. GM's focus on technology development and for the future," told by Alan Taub, vice president of GM's global research and development as reported by spacedaily.com, Saturday (16 / 4).

Thanks to the acquisition of these patents, total patents now owned by GM to reach 940. The amount is at once to put GM in the ranks of 25 companies the biggest patent owners in the land of Uncle Sam.

"Its presence (GM) at the top of the list of largest companies owner of the patent is the first time," revealed by Victor Cardona, vice chairman of Cleantech Group, the rating agencies are examining patents in the United States.

Legal entity based in Albany, New York, it is the parent of Heslin Rothenberg Farley & Mesiti, a research company focuses on intellectual property rights. The company every year publishes to win company index of most patents in the field of environmentally friendly technology.

Technology was among others in the field of electric and hybrid vehicles, solar power, wind and geothermal energy, biofuels and some other renewable energy. The results was published on Friday (15/4) along the 2010

A3 accomplishs Audi prototype of e-Tron

Audi reveals the possibility of electric vehicle technology 'e-tron' applied to all levels of their products, with the presence of A3 hatchback, which it finally joined the next-generation prototype electric-powered vehicles. A few weeks ago a prototype e-tron A5 quattro Audi has been displayed by the carrying two separate hybrid modules, including the ability as a plug-in hybrid.

A3 latest e-tron, carrying the electric drive system that relies on an electric motor to drive the front wheels. The electric motor has a power of 100 kW (134 hp) with a force of 270 Nm of twist that can make the A3 accelerate from 0-100 km / h in 11.2 seconds with a maximum speed of 144 km / hour.

When the lithium ion battery with a capacity of 26.5 kWh is in full condition, the reasonable distance traveled by these vehicles can achieve 140 km. Meanwhile, to replenish the batteries are empty, requiring approximately 9 hours taking electricity at home, and 4 hours if using fast charging system voltage 400 volts.

Electric Car with Motor installed directly on Wheels

KAWASAKI- Exciting Shimizu In Motor Wheel-Drive (SIM-Drive Corp) which is a authorized company based in Kawasaki, Japan, in late March declared that it successfully manufactured a four-seat electric car called "SIM-LEI ".

The advantages of this car, once the contents of the powerful battery, it can be used to cover a distance of 333 km with a test mode JC-08. When accelerated at a constant speed of 100 km / h, then the distance traveled by the battery capacity of 24.4 kWh (same as that used electric cars today) only 305 km. This car is planned to be launched in 2013.

Outer rotor

The technology is offered on the actual car is also designed for 8-wheel vehicle is using electric motor directly attached to the wheel. Actually, Professor Shimizu concept is not new. Michelin has also been showing off this technology. However, the reality is as yet there are companies that use them.

Electric car with the installation of electric motors directly on the wheels of late become a debate for the automotive experts. Because the electric motors in the wheels affects the work and brakes. The workload will increase in both components.

Nevertheless, the electric car developed by professor Hiroshi Shimizu, a professor of Keio University as well as President Director and CEO of SIM-Drive Corp., uses the concept of the motor opposite to that of today. In an electric car with a length of 4700 mm, width 1600 mm and 1550 mm height, and weight is 1650 kg, rotornya outside.

As an illustration, at current electric motor, the rotor (rotating part) are on the inside. As for the SIM, outside the rotor and stator (stationary part) are on the inside.

Actually in 2004, Hiroshi Shimizu has also introduced an electric car that is named Eliica. The concept, the electric motor mounted directly on wheels and equipped with a gear reduction. Now, with the rotor on the outside, no need to use the gear reduction. Added, the torque produced is also growing larger.

Performance

Consumption of electric cars that use alternating electric current is 77 watt-jam/km is equivalent to 70 km / liter of gasoline. SIM claims that this car can sprint from 0-100 km / h in 4.8 seconds and maximum speed 150 km / hour.

SIM-LEI using monokok chassis with "components together in order to" hollow that is used to place the batteries, inverters, and so forth. Further, the car developed since January 2010 and supported by 34 companies, including automakers and parts manufacturer in Japan. Two of the producers who helped this development is the Isuzu and Mitsubishi.
