Future of Electric Vehicle from Dutch

Last December in compression "Future of Electric Vehicle" or the future of electric cars in San Jose, United States, representatives from the University of Technology Eindhoven, the Netherlands presented the results of research institutions, namely a new type of suspension that works in electromagnetic.
More precisely the right presented suspension is a major component that is we are familiar with sokbreker or shock absorber (shock absorber). Apparently, the development of the university's recent progress and send the results to the international media.

Car test used to test this sokbreker could follow AutoRAI in Amsterdam last week. Meanwhile, the release sent Eindhoven University disclose the full details about this sokbreker. Claims of terebut university, with this sokbreker comfort level and stability of vehicles increased 60 percent.
Active Suspension
Sokbreker is not only working in electromagnetic, are also active. Exactly, also gave a mechanical response when the car drove on the road surface is uneven. Amazingly, its active work is now controlled via computer.

Computers control the suspension based on information received from the accelerometer and other sensors on the vehicle. Based on these data later sokbereker kerjannya set back and only lasted a few seconds.
trully active suspension is not new on the car's suspension. Already many manufacturers who use them. Nevertheless, in a hydraulic system works. Now, researchers from Eindhoven said electromagnetic response capability much nicer. In addition, also dinial ebih safe. Because when vehicles are invited membelik, conditions remain steady and comfortable!

Electric Power Size elektromagnetiki shock absorbers are the same as the conventional type. The system consists of passive spring and an electromagnetic actuator, the control unit and battery. Springs - works quite well - produce kepegasan, while magnets do passive damping. When the battery is worn out, the system works mechanically.

Electricity consumption of 500 watts or semperampat energy required hydraulic suspension. Life time and battery life was assessed will be longer. In fact, the electromagnetic properties can sokbreker digunakn to generate electricity. Explained also by the designers of this sokbreker still continue to develop to get the best performance, among others, increasing energy efficiency.
Further, increasing convenience to reach 60 percent. It was only tested on one wheel and tested by simulation in the laboratory. While the results of tests with the installation on two wheels, more stable again.

Sokbreker is now msih tested. Each wheel is equipped with sokbreker who work on their own. Planned, each suspension unit (sokbreker) can interact or communicate with other units. With this, the coordination of movement is set more precise sbiasa sobreker again.

New Hybrid Technology Of Yamaha Automotive

automotive-expert.blogspot.com - In Jakarta there are now Yamaha Scorpio hybrid, belonging Reindra. But, not a real hybrid, only the result of modification of the concept IZH diconteknya Hybrid graffiti Khan Igor from Russia. She asked the home modifications such as G2C for Scorpionya made motorcycle concept.

Ward, G2C agree boss because he himself had long had such a design concept, but there are no customers who want such overhauled. Although the process is not easy to admit recently viewed the graffiti. Fortunately, the materials using a plate.

Preliminary plots of the gas tank and side cover body created as closely as possible using a plate 0.8 mm. "So, baseball is too heavy," said Ward. Before the plate is cut once malnya made from cardboard.
The most unique design appears on the front suspension because Igor mengnambil idea of ​​a production motorcycle IZH 1929. So, like it was closed to the plate and the condom slipped off the projector lamp on the left and right.

So that the bottom of the machine is more contained, fitted engine guard with the design good. Model, nearly shut down the crankcase. "If at first glance, the designs such as one with the installation of two exhaust," said Ward.
Another difference with the work of Igor, looking at the rear suspension. If Igor had a quasi-double, Ward turn it into a single, but the rear body remains the same. Change the rear lights, it relies on a Yamaha Scorpio Jupiter Z.

Another advantage, the motor is equipped with navigation systems mount the monitor type Garmin Nuvi GPS attached to the handlebars. Standard speedometer was replaced with a Yamaha Byson

The New Features of BMW X3

 JAKARTA, - After a day given the chance mengakrabi BMW's newest product, the automotive-expert.blogspot.com get the impression, there are some features that are included on the All-New X3 released today are very helpful and allows drivers to operate this SUV.
Also the more luxurious interior and a more cheerful color display or "alive". For example, the xDrive35i, red-brown leather interior (red brown). While diesel beige (chocolate milk).
BMW says this new change makes room for driver and rear passenger relieved. The back seat - middle that can be folded - can also be used to put the needs of the journey, for example minimunan and so forth.

xDdrive35i Two units are tested first xDrive35i and xDrive20d Business.Versi very full and luxurious. The roof is not only equipped with roof rails, as well as glass that can be opened (shifted) so that the passengers and the driver immediately enjoy the fresh air outside the car.

This glass roof can be closed, if the passenger or the driver is not exposed to the scorching sun. To operated by pressing the button located at the front of the ceiling.
To infotaiment and communication, xDrive35i is also more complete than xDrive20 Business. In this version, a Bluetooth connection to work effectively when linked with Android smartphone and iPod Touch, including to play songs. While Bluetooth for phone, the speaker voice sounded very clear.
BMW seems to have prepared a place for the phone again gadjet and trends in the world, namely the iPod and iPhone. Center console, fit for both the Apple product.

xDrive20d Special diesel version, Xdrive20d, specialized version of the Business, the connection only Bluetooth connection facility of communication. This version is not equipped with roof rails and glass roof. But for the xDrive Executive, completeness and feature the same with xDdrive35i. For entertainment, VBMW only put 6 speakers. As for the Executive variants, such as Xdrive35i, using 12 speakers.

Start-Stop New features and very functional to improve the efficiency of fuel consumption is "the Start-Stop" which works automatically. When the speed above 10 km / h and then the car stopped, in a few seconds the engine will die otomatis.Pada instrument panel indicators are shown, dead engine condition.
For the machine back to life, simply by pressing the gas pedal. This is the first automatic transmission in combination with the Start-Stop system. Even so the system can also being nonactive by pressing the button on the side.

Do not worry about the battery runs out or the AC was not functioning when the engine died. So, the temperature increases and energy reserves of the battery down, automatic machines turned on again. In addition, bisal speed is always below 10 km / h, the system does not work (very helpful on a very bad traffic, such as Jakarta).
Explained well, actually X3 already using the mild hybrid system. When the brake is operated, the energy is converted into electricity stored in batteries.
Options

Using a 6-cylinder gasoline engine capable of producing power and torque 306 rpm PS@5.800 Nm@1.200 400 - 5000 rpm. Using direct injection technology with Valvetronic valve.

Hyundai Blue with TOLED Technology

Automotive-Expert.blogspot.com - SEOUL - As the main icon of South Korean carmaker, Hyundai took to compete with Japanese car manufacturers to develop future vehicles namely, electricity or fuel cells, also known as the Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV).
Latest concept car from Hyundai on display today at the Seoul Motor Show 2011 is called "Blue ²" (pronounced "Blue Squares" or English, "Blue Square"). Or we could also call it the Blue power of two!

To move the car, Hyundai use traditional electric motor 90 kW (120PS) with fuel consumption of 34.9 km / liter. Blue Kuadara name used because this car is also a "blue print" for Hyundai to to make the sedan of the future.
This concept car is a combination of Blue-Drive and sub-eco-brand of Hyundai that uses the number "2" is taken from the "H2", the chemical symbol of hydrogen.

Another interesting concept of this concept car is the interior design called "intersected flow", the upper body Surroundings Blue2 using the glass and the black line cingklong. Like other contemporary concept cars, Blue2 no longer use the side mirrors to see the atmosphere in the back of the car, but replaced with a car on the roof. Hyundai also boasts a welcoming system which grafted on Blue ² ². With this system, the door will open automatically. While the interior seats are large, according to Hyundai engineers aims to facilitate passenger and driver out of the cabin.

TOLED
Another technology that is not less interesting is the combination of monitor Transparent Organic Light Emitting Diode and (TOLED) and sekurit glass (tempered) very mild from Gorilla Glass. To infotaiment, operated with Motion Sensor Moustick or motion sensors such as the Xbox 360 that responds to touch and hand movements of the driver.
Another extra is to freshen the air in the interior and the leather upholstery anti-bacterial. So Blue ² is a smart car, environmentally friendly and keeping drivers and passengers are always fresh while in the interior!

New Diesel Engine from Mitsubishi

automotive-expert.blogspot.com - mitsubishi motor indonesia has launched a new diesel engine DI-D Hi-Power-capacity 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve Cammon Rail Direct Injection Technology that uses a Variable Geometry (VGT).

Later, the heart of this runway will be a mainstay for the new Pajero Sport. What are the advantages of the new engine with VGT it? Although the capacity is still the same, but the maximum power that the original PS 136, after the VGT increased to 176 PS. Remarkably, this machine is capable of providing maximum power at any engine speed range (RPM).

"We will use this new machine as soon as possible and now this for a sport utility vehicle (SUV) and the subsequent new models of others," said Rizwan Alamsjah Marketing Director at Head Office KTB KTB, Pulo Mas, East Jakarta, today (15 / 4). Unfortunately, Rizwan still not willing to explain further when and other models are prepared.

But, one thing is sure KTB, this machine will be a new choice. This means that Indonesia will likely Mitsubishi Pajero Sport wear it on that reportedly launched this year. When asked the possibility was launched at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) in June 2011, Rizwan replied, "God willing, coming soon anyway." How to work VGT? At low to medium rpm, the fins on the VGT are automatically moved to close so that the exhaust gas passage narrows, causing the turbine spin faster. Unlike non-VGT turbo.

The volume of flue gas moves into the aisle a little wider so that the air velocity decreases and makes turns the turbine is reduced. Tip, turbo less than the maximum. When in high speed, the volume of waste gas will be solid so that the fins VGT move enlarges and reduces exhaust back pressure and keep the turbine speed. That is, with the same base engine produced more power, better emissions control, burning cleaner and more refined engine sound.
