Electric mobility is on everyone鈥檚 lips today. Trams have been offering it for more than 100 years. But did you know that the electric motor is not the only propulsion system for trams? There are many different ways to move trams forward. Some are futuristic, some are of historical interest, and some are even outrageous in retrospect. Click here to read more.
Want to learn how an electric motor works and what kind of motors are out there? In this article I will share with you my favorite Youtube videos that can teach you all the basics of electric motors in less than an hour.
Hydrofoils can reach speeds of up to 100km/h on the water. But they are mainly used in Russia. Why is it that this interesting mode of transportation had its greatest success in the days of the Soviet Union, and what does the future hold for high-speed hydrofoil vessels? Read more in this article.
Well, just about everything needs energy. But there are a few transportation systems that use energy that is already available and not used for anything else. In this article, I want to show you three solutions that require no oil to be pumped, no coal to be burned, and no electricity to be generated.
The transport sector is responsible for a large proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions. It is essential that it be converted to renewable energy. For cars, the transition to mainly battery-electric vehicles has begun. But for trucks, the technology of choice is not yet clear. Because they are much heavier than cars, they will also need larger batteries. Right now, there is a race between battery electric trucks, hydrogen trucks, and overhead catenary trucks. Yes, you read that right: Trucks with a catenary, like an electric train! How do they work and what are their chances in this competition? Read on to find out more.
