While there are certainly people who would purposely aim to take a nap in a moving Tesla on Autopilot, it’s likely extremely uncommon. However, if a driver were to accidentally fall asleep in a car equipped with certain ADAS features, … Continue reading →

Rather, graphene is strongly diamagnetic, similar to graphite. Our nanocrystals exhibit only a weak paramagnetic contribution noticeable below 50K. The measurements yield a single species of defects responsible for the paramagnetism, with approximately one magnetic moment per typical graphene crystallite. … Continue reading →

It all depends on your battery bank used with this 36V to 48V conversion. can only be accomplished through installing a 48V motor capable of higher torque, or installing a 48V controller with a higher current limit (amperage). When DC … Continue reading →

Due to their mineral inclusions, black diamonds are often electrically conductive (unevenly), and sometimes showing magnetism. Indeed, graphite is electrically conductive, while magnetism is found in magnetite and hematite for instance. Does black diamond attract to magnet? No, it doesn’t. … Continue reading →

Re: 36v motor with 48v controller YES! I do IT currently! 33km/h in 36v regen -> 43km/h in 48v regen, no problem. I used 37v15ah lifepo4 (peak voltage 42v) battery on 36v system and now a 48v 15ah lifepo4 (peak … Continue reading →

Glass is hard, and therefore brittle, so it shatters. Plastic (acrylic or polycarbonate) is softer, so more prone to scratches. Why do phones use glass instead of plastic? Glass is very resistant to scratches, but is brittle and prone to … Continue reading →

For those of you who are “Made in America” fans it’s a bit of a split for Dakota Lithium. They are headquartered in North Dakota and their website touts “Rugged American Innovation” is behind every battery they manufacturer. Who makes … Continue reading →

Grass is a plant, so it takes in carbon dioxide from the air and produces oxygen through the photosynthesis process. How much CO2 does a grass absorb? Researchers from The Ohio State University have estimated that some lawns can sequester … Continue reading →

CO2 is heavier than oxygen, so we might expect every CO2 molecule to sink below a layer of oxygen molecules. Generalizing this idea to the other gases in the air, we might deduce that this would result in a perfectly … Continue reading →

The Technology features a high-performance energy-efficient motor that has flat torque characteristics. This could provide the driver a great driving experience and helps out the vehicle to accelerate instantaneously. A dedicated cooling circuit further enhances the performance of the motor. … Continue reading →
