Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) play an important role in ocean exploration. These AUVs operate autonomously, executing intricate missions with surgical precision. Equipped with sonars, cameras, and environmental sensors, AUVs are used for mapping underwater topography to study marine ecosystems. They detect oil spills, study coral bleaching, and assess the impact of climate change. As technology […]
Hydrogen Powered Vehicle: A Greener Future
Researchers believe that utilizing hydrogen, the most abundant element in space, could help mitigate the harmful environmental effects caused by the planet’s 1.2 billion vehicles, which currently rely on gasoline and diesel fuel combustion. Like other electric vehicles, Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) use electricity to power an electric motor. Unlike other electric vehicles, FCEVs […]
Bioplastics: A Sustainable Alternative to Car Interior
Since its inception, the automotive industry has failed to include sustainable practices in its production cycle. Traditional assembly lines and manufacturing processes many of which are still in use today use huge amounts of energy, metals, plastics, toxins, and manpower; leaving behind a massive carbon footprint. The automobile industry is one of the biggest producers […]
Alternatives To Li-Ion Battery
The proliferation of handheld devices, ranging from industrial measuring equipment to mobile phones, and the advancement of electric vehicles necessitated higher energy densities. Interestingly, Li-ion battery technology has advanced greatly in the last 30 years. However, the best Li-ion batteries are approaching their performance limits due to material restrictions. Thus, alternatives to li-ion battery is […]
Solar Cars: A Far-Fetched Reality or Complete Truth?
Transportation constitutes roughly 27% of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Governments across the globe are tackling this issue by setting stringent rules and regulations for IC engine vehicles and promoting the use of electric vehicles (EVs) by providing subsidies. However, EVs can potentially create a huge demand on the grid, burdening both the transmission […]
Advances in the Heavy Vehicles Maintenance
Heavy machinery equipment is mostly used in rough terrains with limited access to proper roads. They experience harsh environmental conditions like heavy rocks, bumpy roads and are susceptible to breakdowns hence, their regular maintenance is inevitable. Different types of maintenance can be performed for heavy machinery equipment such as reactive, preventive, predictive, and proactive maintenance. […]
