Israel will open the world's first power generated road

Scientists said that Israel had find a new power generation method that via the moving of vehicle to allow the streets and highways to generating.They will be open up a world's first generation of the road in January 2009, every car on the road traveling 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) will be produced more than 640 kilowatts of electricity, enough for 12 small power motor vehicles.

This road work in the power generation could be similar to the dance floor in the London nightclub . When traveling on the road, the car will be squeezed micro piezoelectric crystals to produce a small amount of electricity. If thousands of piezoelectric crystals were implanted surface of the road can be a great power. Have a current can be transferred back to the national power grid or used for lighting and heating. To participate in the study of Israel's R & D is also used for railway and the airport moving walkways similar to the system.

Environmental protection motorcycle ---driven by body movements

It may look like the most dangerous motorbike in the world but this new invention is actually the latest form of green transport.

The electric Uno is the brainchild of 18-year-old Canadian Ben Gulak who spent several years developing the bike, which is controlled entirely by body movements.

The machine actually has two wheels, side-by-side, and uses gyroscopic technology to stay upright. It moves in the direction the rider leans - and the more you lean, the faster you go.

Ben claims that the bike could help beat pollution and he was inspired to design it after visiting China and seeing all the smog there.

He says: "The bike is fairly easy to ride, but takes a bit of getting used to because you have to learn to trust it."

The top speed on the current prototype is 25mph, but this could be increased with the use of a bigger motor.

The Uno weighs just 58kg and has a range of 2.5 hours once it is charged from the mains. Ben is seeking investors to help him put it into full production.

Introduction of mechanical locking differential (MID)

As a well-known traction control products supplier, the United States Eaton's Differential technology has been in a leading position in the world. Mechanical locking differential, as Eaton's one of the best-selling products, now has been widely used in SUV and pickup on a global scale.In 2007 has sold more than 1,400,000 all over the world.



In the situation of wheel spin( about 100 rounds /minute in the speed between the right and left wheel), mechanical locking differential (MLD) as improved product on the basis of limited-slip differential (LSD), will touch off mechanical locking device to lock the axles completely,and delivery 100% of the engine torque to the effective grip wheel,so as to provide sufficient traction to help a vehicle drive out of barriers.
In addition, the mechanical locking differential have the following advantages:

1. No need the driver to controll , fully automatic locking and unlocking;

2. Structure is simple and easy to install ( the same as ordinary differential in size and shape);

3. Without use of special gear oil with additives, and low maintenance costs;

4. ABS / ESP, as well as four-wheel-drive system is fully compatible;

5.Work in case the low-speed (30 km / h below), safe and reliable.

Japan Telecom invented power generation shoes

Japanese telecom giant NTT invented a new shoe that allows people to walk and charge a cell phone, iPod, and other electronics at the same times.

This water-filled soles of shoes connected with a small generator . While walking , The pressure that the soles beared can make the generators produce about 1.2 watts of power. He said that the electricity generated by keeping moving on and on is enough to allow the iPod music player to operate uninterrupted.

In addition, the company is trying to study on how to increase power generation up to 3 watts.This power just is general mobile phones's need .

Although the shoes that do not have the storage function, but as long as the users of mobile phones will link up with the shoes and keep walking, the phone can automatically charge can be used directly.

NTT hopes in 2010 the new generation of shoes will formal launch

China 's Diesel Generators Market

Diesel generators by structural approach can be divided into fixed and mobile (trailer) units; by mode of operation can be divided into single units and parallel operation unit; control by ordinary manual can be divided into units Automation unit, Smart Communications remote control unit; Technical indicators can be divided into Class I power plant, power station Ⅱ , Ⅲ type power station; by capacity can be divided into from 1 kw to 3150kw stall the power unit.

China 's diesel generator market in recent years a rapid development, from 2003 to 2007 due to the power shortage, China 's diesel generators rapid development of the market, leading to shortages of power crunch occurred, some factories, Standby Power Enterprises has become a necessary task, the sales of units in this period surge. causing manufacturers to supply the output .

Diesel generators to sustain strong There were two main reasons. First, many diesel generators for emergency power generation, hospitals, banks, airports, telecommunications and other industries standby power, Intermittent belonging to oil equipment, and the oil price increases reflect less sensitive, less cross-elasticity of demand. Therefore, this part of the market demand for temporary increases in oil prices will not be affected. Second, in many application areas, a lack of diesel generators requires alternative products. Diesel generators as a mobile power source, which makes it in many areas, are difficult to replace, such as ship electricity, Oil exploitation of the need for mobile field operations, diesel generators in these markets to be widely used. Whenever summer, the electricity supply is insufficient, the diesel generators or diesel generators will be best-selling.

However, the present, with the supply of electricity to ease the tension, as well as years of large water conservancy and hydropower construction, Rural and small hydropower building together with other such as wind power generation, nuclear power generation, Power Plant to enable the establishment of China's power shortage to ease the dilemma, therefore, diesel generators in the overall sales of the second half of 2007 have been alleviated, and The increase in fuel prices has also to some extent limit the diesel generator market development. However, the current situation is still considerable demand; a number of hospitals, banks, airports, Outdoor venues will be operating as an emergency diesel generators essential use.

Diesel generators on the market to such a wide range of applications are still in its specific characteristics. First, the diesel generators with capacity levels, the international product consists of several kilowatts to tens of thousands of kilowatts, the nation's largest for the several thousand kilowatts, the users with a lot of room for choice; second, and the supporting equipment compact structure, flexible installation locations, as long as the water-cooled 34 -82L /KWH Turbine 1 / 10; Third, high thermal efficiency, Low fuel consumption and thermal efficiency of 30 ~ 40%; Fourth, rapid start, and would soon reach full power. an emergency can be achieved within minutes full load, while the short course stands, with frequent stop for the convenience of users; 5, 6) Single smaller capacity, the operating technique is relatively simple, easy operation staff in general. Simple maintenance, maintenance convenience, fewer personnel required to operate in the maintenance reserve a small amount; Sixth, diesel generators for power generation and the construction of a comprehensive cost minimum. Sixth, low operating costs, can use a variety of fuels, demand for low-quality fuel, suitable for burning high viscosity fuel oil and the heavy oil price far below the light diesel; Seventh, high reliability, output power stability, Power generation is usually rated by the nine O operation. Therefore, the mobile power plant diesel generator has good prospects.

Diesel generators are a technology-intensive products, the majority of ship power plants, Mobile Power Station and power station by emergency diesel generators Group. Along with the development of the national economy, the diesel generators requirements has been increasing year by year, and its function, technical performance requirements are also increasing

China's diesel generators in mechanical properties, electrical properties, performance, reliability, routine maintenance and service life with the international advanced level, but there is a considerable gap, the main features: (1) Unit type less choice for a smaller; (2) dynamic economy, reliability, and other technical performance low Compact enough structure, high vibration and noise; (3) Diesel Engine Application of new technologies less intelligent, low degree of automation. These shortcomings make homemade diesel generators are not currently meet the requirements of the new ship. It had to import foreign models of a variety of marine diesel engine (such as Cummins, latency, etc.) generators (such as Stanford, Siemens, etc.), air circuit breakers and meters and other production technologies, to meet the domestic shipbuilding industry's needs. As diesel generators from diesel engines, generators and control devices composed of three parts. any part of which level of technical development and can promote other aspects of the development, thereby enhancing the diesel generators overall performance, the three parts between the technical level mutual promotion.

At present, China 's diesel generators concentrate at the senior secondary market and low-end markets. in the high-end market abroad mainly generators and ancillary mainly imported parts, at the end of the market mainly foreign parts, and foreign brands are assembled mainly domestic; At the lower end of the market are generally for domestic products and accessories, and if Weichai, Chai on the diesel generators which have a majority of the exports, and the original foreign brands in the domestic and assembly of diesel generators so on occupied 70% -80% of the market share.

Generator blows at Olympic rowing heats

BEIXIAOYING TOWN, China: A diesel generator used to create the underwater bubbles that formed the finish line overheated on Saturday, but did not delay races on the first day of Olympic rowing heats.

The billowing, black smoke was noticeable during the women's pair heats at Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park. The generator was on the grandstand side, not close enough to the fans or the water to cause any concern. The bubbling finish line, however, was eliminated.

Bike riders continued pedaling on the path in front of the blue generator — decorated with Olympic rings — and firefighters quickly brought the situation under control.
