Henrik Fisker Wants to Recover Fisker Automotive
Fisker Automotive has been suffering of late, after a string of unfortunately occurrences, perhaps some poor decision-making by executives, and the exit of co-founder Henrik Fisker in February. Henrik Fisker, famous for his designs at Audi and BMW and co-founder of Fisker Automotive, didn’t leave because he’d decided his vision was clouded. When you open [...]

Researchers have touted graphene as a game-changing material that could boost the power and energy capacity of a lithium-ion battery. Graphene, a film of carbon atoms just one atom thick, is an excellent conductor of electricity. In a battery, the massive surface area of such carbon sheets could be a boon to increasing the power [...] Read more... | The flow of electrons generates heat, and in an electric vehicle battery pack, excessive heat may damage the cells. In order to keep an electric vehicle battery running at its most efficient and maximize lifespan, an efficient cooling system is necessary. Depending on the design, air flowing over the battery can work, such as in [...] Read more... |
Supply and demand have some effect on fuel prices, but there are a lot of intermediate steps that go into the price you pay at the pump. Of course, it starts with how much it cost to initially extract petroleum from reserves underground. Transportation overseas and rail and by truck add to costs, and then [...] Read more... | Researchers from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory developed a new technique that allows removal and storage of atmospheric carbon. Moreover, it can be used as a mean to mitigate ocean acidification, through generating of carbon-negative hydrogen and producing alkalinity. The findings of the laboratory based study are published in this week’s issue of the Proceedings [...] Read more... |
Researchers from University of Melbourne and Victoria University have developed a method, which allows more reliable and accurate predictions of the range of future global warming. The findings published in the latest issue of Nature Climate Change indicate that if no measures are taken to lower emissions, the projected temperatures for year 2100 will be [...] Read more... | Car manufacturers report lower carbon dioxide emissions than these measured in their actual use, based on fuel consumption. The non-profit International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) conducted an independent research on vehicle emissions, which aims to mitigate climate change and protect public health by improving efficiency in transportation. The findings indicate that on average carbon [...] Read more... |
Scientists from University of Wisconsin-Madison are testing ways to predict change in behaviour of various ecosystems due to climate change, based on ‘space-for-time’ substitutions of data. The new research uses data from fossilized pollen trapped in cores of sediments to simulate changes in plant distribution that have occurred over the past 21,000 years across the eastern [...] Read more... | A German company called AoTerra has developed a method of reusing waste heat from servers by embedding them into households. So basically their customers will be able to heat their homes using a cloud server. The servers are encased in a special fireproof box that the owner can’t open and the box is linked to [...] Read more... |
You don’t mess with Germans when it comes to beer purity. Period. An official letter was sent to Berlin officials by brewers, stating their concern that fracking (to extract shale gas) could endanger the water supply that beer is made from, and change its composition. This will breach a 497-year-old law called “Reinheitsgebot” (Beer Purity [...] Read more... | At the unveiling of the Tesla Model S, Elon Musk proved you can take 8 people onboard, plus their baggage. Now, some kindergarten kids want to outperform Elon and prove you can do way better than this. Well, it’s not actually legal to carry people crammed like that, but 31.6 cubic feet of storage in [...] Read more... |
Despite lack of consumer interest, German Chancellor Angela Merkel continues to try to make good on her vow to bring one million cars to German roads by 2020. Merkel’s goal is lofty. The German automobile market exceeded $3 million but electric cars accounted for only 3,000 of that number. The electric car has seen waning [...] Read more... | Little over an hour ago, I just came from the Mall – I went to see Fast and Furious 6, as the trailer was nice and hoped of some electrics along the way. Then, when my eyes hit the poster while waiting to get in, I saw the Top Gear logo. “Green cars my a**,” [...] Read more... |
