It's great inovation! Changing Heat Muffler to be electric

Powerful General Motors recieved a huge grant from the authorized Government of the United States, now it boost to develop dinamic automotive technologies for the more fuel-efficient consumption. One of the advanced technologies that are exactly still developed in the research and being expected to be used commercially is to change the exhaust heat of muffers into electricity.

Furthermore, abundant energy can be really stored or used directly for amazing hybrid cars. Even it is still using on conventional engine cars, it is used directly as a great source of power to operate the audio, air conditioning and other equipment.

When this abundant heat is wasted through engine of exhaust just left and not been widely used. Which it is considered as the most practical way to be possibly produced commercially and are turning it into electrical energy.

The accurate method is to use a mixture of metal (alloy), which was called "shape memory alloy" (SMA). Hopefully, this brilliant concept immediately headed to the prototype stage that can generate beneficial electricity.

How is that strong metal can convert beneficial heat into electricity? "When the SMA wires heated, there was expansion. When it is cool (cool with air blow), stiffness and reduced cable back into shape, "said January Aase, Director of the GM Vehicle Development Research Laboratory. "Furthermore, the cable reels are physically changing the used drive electric generators and it can be really used for filling the battery," added Jan.

He further pointed out that the generated electric power can be used as a source of driving a hybrid car. Even it is for a conventional engine - motor fuel - used as a replacement alternator. Thus, to obtain power no longer need to charge produced power of strong machine.

Nissan GT-R for Next Generation will be seriously made of 100 Percent Electric cars?

YOKOHAMA - Elegant GT-R is a meaningful symbol of excellence in the competitive arena of the Nissan sports car. This amazing car looks a lot of anthusiasts and it is considered sexy! However, new problems faced by other powerful manufacturers, is also experienced, including specialist supersport car-exhaust gas regulations which are more stringent. As a result, serios efforts to make the car faster and faster to get constraints.

Therefore, there is problematic speculation that the Nissan GT-R will be the next generation of wonderful hybrid cars or 100 percent electric. In fact, when blilliant Chief Operating Officer (COO), Nissan's Toshiyuki Shiga interviewed by Autocar UK, he did not dismiss if the next-generation GT-R is likely to be a pure electric car.

"The market is constantly changing and have become increasingly friendly to the environment. Thus, the possibility of pure electric vehicles into the sports car could have been. We have developed a hybrid Infiniti," said Toshiyuki.

At the end of this wonderful year, Nissan plans to introduce the GT-R with 3.8-liter turbo V6 engine capable of double-boosted engine power to reach 530 PS. However, analysts estimate, Nissan will face a problem due to increasingly stringent emissions regulations, especially for the European market.

Meanwhile, the outstanding producers have changed their magnificent concept sports car to meet emissions standards. Honda, for example, has made the CR-Z as a advanced hybrid car. Remarkable Porsche makes 911 Hybrid used for endurance racing 24 hours. Audi prepares the e-Tron. Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz also do not want to lose to introduce the SLS AMG gulwing E-CELL-powered electricity.

evSAT is good driving safety solution because of Automatic Circuit for electric or hybrid cars

CONTINENTAL has developed a satellite-tech sensors for vehicles and types of plug-in hybrid high-voltage batteries to decide when the collision occurred when the vehicle runs on charging mode.

The goal for the emergency services team to recover the vehicle without having to accept the possibility of electric shock. EvSAT acceleration sensors will be active on the charging mode (charge mode).

Dr Axel Gessel of Continental said, "This device detects the crash and it continue this info to a battery management system for deciding high-voltage currents,"

The benefits of this product, go Gessel, it prevent firefighters and it rescue workers exposed to electric shock when entering and it make contact with the metal parts of vehicles. Because hybrid vehicles and plug-ins generally use beterai voltage to 400 volts.

evSAT taken from the sentence of Satellite for Electric Vehicles which those basically form a sensor-tech traxial CAN interface. Acceleration sensor uses a system of algorithms to detect frontal collision from behind or from the side.

After that the device quickly sends a signal via the CAN interface to the battery management to break the current in half a second. Similarly, if a car rolled in driving mode. In this case, the battery will be disabled for at least four seconds. However evSAT is inactive if the model of an emergency is outside of above example . (OL-07)
