Opel with "e-car-award 2010"

Opel with "e-car-award 2010"


The magazine "AUTO TEST" the car manufacturer Opel has the coveted "e-car-award 2010" award. So the price was in the category "Innovation and technical concept of the Year" this year at the fair, the electric avenue - EXPO for sustainable mobility "in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, Opel.


A seven-member jury verified that Opel excellent development work in relation to the design and implementation of Ampera. In particular, the range of over 500 kilometers convinced the experts and provided for the award. The Ampera will be the first European electric car with "extended-range" concept in late 2011 on the market.


It is an electric car with E-REV technology, which means as much as "Extend Range Electric Vehicle". The great advantage of this technology is that by the 16 strong kWh lithium-ion battery is a purely electrical operation of up to 60 kilometers is possible. The petrol engine is then used as a generator to recharge the batteries, which in turn supply the electric motor with electricity. The electric motor drives eventually to the vehicle. In combined operation, ranges of up to 500 kilometers. Very impressive might be that the electric motor delivers a maximum torque of 370 Newton meters and lies down a sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in nine seconds. The top speed is 161 km / h.


Renault - 200 000 electric cars planned each year


The French carmaker Renault plans from the year 2015/16 more than 200,000 electric cars to produce in his work. It is expected that year to a market share of electric cars by 5 percent. In two years, the Renault Zoe hit the market and is an electric car which is based on the car model Clio. The annual production of the Renault Zoe will amount to starting in 2015/16 to at least 150,000 units.


The electric version of the Renault Kangoo will be available soon and is just like the electric Fluence sedan 20000-30000 times a year to run the assembly line. According to the plans of the Executive Committee to the two-seater micro-car Renault Twizy will also soon introduced to the automotive market. The electric car market is on the rise, and virtually every car maker has an electric car on sale. be available to what the price of electric car models of the French car manufacturer in the car trade at the current time is not yet known. The electric vehicles will only be successful if they are affordable in price, the range of the batteries is increased and a sufficient power station network is available.


Nissan built its own quick-charge stations


The fact that already in December this year, the Nissan Leaf comes on the market, the Japanese automaker now offers as a preparation for the launch of the electric vehicle the sale of special quick-charge stations in Japan.


Nissan already has extensive experience with electric vehicles and related equipment and offers this quick-charging stations by in-house development and can convince by low prices. Way to offer appropriate charging stations for regional partners at prices from 13.000 .


Based on Nissan in Japan built the 2,200 sales and service partners such 200-volt quick charge stations and is therefore even a relatively extensive network of charging stations for electric cars in Japan already this year. In addition there are approximately 200 selected sites that are also equipped in addition with this quick-charge stations to cover most metropolitan areas accordingly. Nissan promises that at least one station within 40 kilometers will be present.


And it's just a matter of time, until the number of charging stations is growing, long established the concept.

The ThinkPad T61 is Lenovo’s perceived as deriving high end of R61. Discover this ultra-powerful notebook.


Echoing the same hull as the ThinkPad R61, the T61 features the same look antiquated. The widescreen 14.1-inch footprint results in a fairly large: 33.5 x 23.7 x 3.5 cm. However, our test model has a standard battery of four cells and therefore shows lighter than R61 as a poster on our balance weight of 2.37 pounds.


Plane


The machine loaned by Lenovo brings together some very upscale, mostly drawn from the organ bank of the new version of the Intel Centrino platform. In honor where honor, let the processor. This is a Core 2 Duo T7700 clocked at 2.4GHz, the fastest processors at FSB 800MHz. Lenovo combines 2 GB DDR2 RAM. Based on our tests, the computing power and multimedia capabilities of this laptop immediately classify the first place. Another excellent result, the bandwidth of the memory also reached record highs. These components are accompanied with a SATA hard drive with platters rotating at 5,400 rpm a total capacity of 160 GB of storage The unit, supplemented by a DVD Super Multi Double Layer, proved both quick and silent.

This video chip provides support DirectX 10 and a minimum power consumption. The other configuration is standard with Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi and the last component Intel 802.11n and Gigabit Ethernet. The number of catches is correct with three USB and Firewire even if we still regret the presence of a single video output VGA.


In conclusion


A powerful processor and a battery of low capacity. Two factors leading to insufficient autonomy. Our T61 has confessed his limits after 72 minutes. Certainly not enough for a business user who buys surely a high-capacity lenovo batteries. That said, with a sale price probably more than 2,200 euros, this tool seems built for durability. Confident, Lenovo awarded him a guarantee of three years.

Recently, this phenomenon has caused the Ministry of Information Industry and the attention to restore the export tax rebate in the industry support policies are in the pipeline.


"Now, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other major exports to the region of 100% appears high loss of business; 30% of the enterprises have ceased production; 50% of the companies interested in relocation to India, Vietnam, the situation continues, China's lead-acid battery exports will collapse situation. "China Electrical Equipment Industrial Association, Secretary-General of the Iraqi branch of lead-acid batteries are frequently out of the current Xiaobo Ministry of Industry, Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Commerce and other related departments, reflecting the outstanding problems facing the industry.


By the financial crisis in 2008 plunged the second half of the domestic raw material markets, international buyers cancellation, breach of contract, destroy one constantly, to the lead-acid battery industry has dealt a heavy blow. Because lead-acid battery is a labor-intensive industries, large enterprises have ceased production, resulting in massive unemployment and cuts out of business. Industry-wide average of 40% to 50% of the layoffs, is expected to total 20 million people. "The basic is retrenched migrant workers, their life is very worrying." Guangdong responsible person of a company said.


With the employment situation deteriorating situation in Iraq has been reflected Xiaobo letter to the Department's attention. Recently, the Ministry of Energy and Resources Utilization Forum held in lead-acid battery industry, analysis of the current outstanding problems facing the industry and policy bottlenecks, lead-acid battery industry response to the crisis of the countermeasures.


Participants felt that the outstanding problems facing the industry is costly. Lead-acid batteries provide data branch, RMB appreciation led to the production cost increased by 18%; to cancel 13% of the export tax rebate, 17% of the VAT increase, the costs increased by 14%; 30% higher than the international lead prices, the cost increased by 18%. These factors resulted in our product costs 50% higher than in other countries.


Participants said that with the world economic recovery and the solar, wind, geothermal, tidal energy development and utilization of natural energy and electric motor industry development, lead-acid batteries as a safe, voltage-bandwidth, low prices and does not consume resources, energy products, will usher in a broad space for development.


To promote the development of the industry, the participants suggestions: First, lead-acid batteries provide the processing trade export tax rebate to 15%; valve-regulated lead-acid batteries provide up to 13% export tax rebate; ordinary lead-acid storage battery export tax rebates raised to 9%. Second, the withdrawal of the lead-acid battery industry, "two high" restricted industries, by expansion in business give some financial support. Third, the valve-regulated lead-acid batteries, wind energy lead-acid battery, gel lead-acid batteries and other high-tech, pollution-free products included in the national policy support products.


I understand that the day of the forum, the above recommendations have been the Ministry of Industry Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization Department's preliminary approval.

Interestingly, this is not the main sensor, Live View facilities includes, but integrates a secondary sensor in the viewfinder. Sony has broken the traditional Live View systems in the setting of additional sensor in the viewfinder with a tilt mechanism that directs the light is, either through traditional eye. The advantage is not related to the conventional AF in Live View-bypass, so that the autofocus-A350 as fast as you normally would, without interruption or noise.


Making life even more useful view is that a retractable screen can be tilted vertically to allow wide-angle high or low easily. The A350’s screen can not turn the page, or turn on the face, but still a very flexible function.


Like all Alpha DSLRs, the sensor is located on the main platform for moving a mounted adjustable to compensate for camera shake. You do not see the effect on the viewer - or in Live View - but it gets to work with everyone who is going. This not only saves money, it means that you are the stabilization of the lenses that most manufacturers are not suitable as a benefit stabilization system as a standard 50 mm models.

New Solar Cell

New Solar Cell


4 times the new solar cell efficiency - are expected to develop a conversion rate of 20% of the solar cells


According to Japan's "Daily News" reported that the Japanese Institute of Industrial Science and Technology developed the world's highest solar energy conversion rate of organic thin film solar cells, the conversion rate to the existing organic thin-film solar cell 4 times. Reported that the existing organic thin-film solar cell is the two-junction thin-film organic semiconductors, the solar energy to electrical energy conversion rate of about 1%. Organic thin film solar cells of new two-tier structure in the middle of the original by adding a mixture of film into a 3-layer structure, which increases the generation of electrical power contact area between molecules, greatly improving the solar energy conversion rate. Organic thin film solar cells using plastic and other lightweight soft materials for the substrate, so people look forward to it very practical. The researchers said that through further research, is expected to develop a conversion rate of 20%, can be put into actual use of the organic thin-film solar cells. Perhaps in the near future, plastic materials, solar cells will be integrated into people's daily life.


Power industry: Power Investment focuses on optimizing the structure


2008-2010 investment and installed capacity of power supply forecasting: by analyzing the power investment, unit cost and installed the new investment cycle to calculate production capacity of the units. Investment in 2008-2010 is expected to supply continues to decline, unit costs remained stable (not considering value-added tax effects), a slight increase in the investment cycle. The increase in investment cycle investment structure of power: the future supply of thermal power investment accounted for the proportion of investment will decline, while nuclear power, hydropower (including pumped storage power station) will increase the proportion of investment. Because nuclear power, hydropower investment cycle significantly longer than the thermal power, so the overall increase in the investment cycle.


According to estimates of new production ,2008-2010 were 77.94 million kilowatts installed capacity, 68.3 million kilowatts and 64.33 million kilowatts, respectively, out of 13 million kilowatts over the same period, 10 million kilowatts and 1,000 kilowatts of small thermal power units. 2008-2010 total installed capacity reached 778.23 million kilowatts, 836.52 million kilowatts, and 890.85 million kilowatts, compound growth rate of 7.7%.
