BMW provides some insight into Dingolfing eDrive competence center; motors, battery packs and more
July 29, 2016
During its Innovation Days 2016 event in Munich, the BMW Group provided some insight into its Dingolfing competence center for the manufacture of electric drive systems (eDrive). Dingolfing supplies the high-voltage batteries and other chassis and powertrain components for BMW i models and the BMW Group's plug-in hybrid models—current (earlier post) and future.
Beginning with the launch of the first BMW i production models, the Dingolfing plant has produced high-voltage batteries and other powertrain and chassis components for these vehicles. Prior to that, the plant had supplied high-voltage batteries for the BMW Active E; BMW 3 Series ActiveHybrid; BMW 5 Series ActiveHybrid; and BMW 7 Series ActiveHybrid. Now, with the market launch of the first plug-in hybrid versions of the BMW core-brand models—for which the plant supplies the rear-mounted electric motors and all high-voltage battery packs—production of BMW eDrive components in Dingolfing is scaling up once again.

New TM4 SUMO medium-duty electric motors boost torque and speed 45% with SMCs in place of permanent magnets
June 08, 2016
TM4 will introduce three new SUMO medium-duty (MD) powertrain options at the 29th Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition (EVS29), offering an increase of up to 45% in torque and speed, thanks to a new technological advancement.
Until now, the main rotor technology found in TM4's electric motors was based on surface-mounted permanent magnets. The desire to limit the use of rare-earth magnets has resulted in a technology choice that leverages the reluctance torque of TM4's external rotor design (earlier post) and decreases by 25% the use of these elements. By substituting some of the magnets with soft magnetic composites (SMCs), variable reluctance adds up to 45% extra torque and operating speed compared with previous technology in same package dimensions.
European team devises new strategy for rare-earth-free magnets
June 01, 2016
European researchers have devised a new way to make nanoparticles that could replace rare-earth material use in magnets. The researchers used a mixed iron-cobalt oleate complex in a one-step synthetic approach to produce magnetic core-shell nanoparticles.
The resulting materials showed strong magnetic properties and energy-storing capabilities. The approach could signal an efficient new strategy toward replacing rare earths in permanent magnets such as those uses in electric motors and keeping costs stable, the researchers said. A paper on their work is published in the ACS journal Chemistry of Materials.

Tsinghua team evaluates impact of types and arrangements of electric traction motors in fuel cell hybrid buses
April 20, 2016
Researchers at Tsinghua University have compared the performance of two different powertrains for fuel cell hybrid buses. Both buses use 50 kW PEM fuel cell stacks (from different manufacturers) as the primary power source, with LiMn2O4 battery packs as secondary power sources. A significant difference between the two powertrains lies in the types and arrangements of the electrical motor.
One powertrain employs a single induction motor (IM) to drive the vehicle via a reduction gearbox and differential (Powertrain A), while the other powertrain adopts two permanent magnetic synchronous motors (PMSMs) for near-wheel propulsion (Powertrain B). A further difference between the proposed powertrains is the supply path for the fuel cell accessories. A paper on their study is published in Journal of Power Sources.

Saarbrücken engineers developing networked self-analyzing electric motors
March 23, 2016
Engineers from Saarland University are developing intelligent motor systems that function without the need for additional sensors. By essentially transforming the motor itself into a sensor, the team led by Professor Matthias Nienhaus is creating smart motors that can tell whether they are still running smoothly, can communicate and interact with other motors and can be efficiently controlled.
By using data collected from the motor while it is operating, the researchers are able to calculate quantities that in other systems would need to be measured by additional sensors. Further, they are teaching the drive how to make use of this knowledge.

Chevrolet releases more details on Bolt drive unit and battery; one-pedal driving
January 11, 2016
Hard on the heels of the reveal of the production Volt EV at CES 2016 in Las Vegas earlier post), Chevrolet used the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit to release additional details on the battery and drivetrain of the new BEV. Engineers developed the Bolt EV's propulsion system to offer more than an estimated 200 miles (based on GM estimates) and a sporty driving experience.
The Bolt EV's drive system uses a single high capacity electric motor to propel the car. The engineering team designed the Bolt EV's electric motor with an offset gear and shaft configuration tailored to meet efficiency and performance targets—most notably more than an estimated 200 miles of range. The motor is capable of producing up to 266 lb-ft (360 N·m) of torque and 200 hp (150 kW) of motoring power. Combined with a 7.05:1 final drive ratio, it helps propel the Bolt EV from 0-60 mph in less than seven seconds.
Tohoku U team produces rare-earth-free high quality Fe-Ni magnet with simple industrial technology
November 22, 2015
Researchers from Tohoku University in Japan have succeeded in producing a completely rare-earth free high-quality Fe-Ni magnet. The team, led by Professor Akihiro Makino as principal investigator is supported by a MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan) project entitled, "Ultra-low Core Loss Magnetic Material Technology Area," under the framework of the "Tohoku Innovative Materials Technology Initiatives for Reconstruction."
Currently high quality magnets, which are used in various applications such as automobiles, household appliances, medical equipment etc. are made up of rare earth elements such as Sm (samarium), Nd (neodymium) and Dy (dysprosium). Importing rare earth elements is costly, and has become "too political," the researchers said, making it increasingly difficult for Japan to maintain industrial superiority and competitiveness in the production of energy-saving technologies for next generation of electrical machines/devices.

The process offers a recovery rate of more than 80%. While heat treatment is required for processing, all other steps can be performed at room temperature, thus resulting in a process designed for energy efficiency. Overall, the established process applies green chemistry principles for designing a hydrometallurgical process.
Audi's e-tron quattro EV: evolutionary powertrain with a dash of revolution for production in 2018; MLB evo
September 24, 2015
Audi's e-tron quattro battery-electric SUV concept, which made its formal debut at IAA in Frankfurt (earlier post), is a strong indicator of Audi's series-production electric SUV due in 2018—especially in terms of the powertrain.
The e-tron quattro is based on Audi's MLB evo—the second-generation of the modular longitudinal matrix toolkit (MLB, earlier post), and is, at the same time, potentially contributing to the development of the elements of that toolkit, especially with respect to a modular electric drive component. This could eventually have a role comparable to that of the Volkswagen Group's modular diesel and modular gasoline engine kits (MDB and MOB). ("Baukasten" = German for construction kit)

Skip to comments.(USS) Truman Performs High Speed Rudder Test
Posted on 07/14/2012 9:58:18 AM PDT by gandalftb
USS HARRY S. TRUMAN, At Sea (NNS) -- The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) conducted a full power run and rudder swing checks during sea trials July 8.
The ship rolled more than 13 degrees in each direction.
"After weeks of calibrations and testing, the ship's steering was finally put to the test," said Lt. Kasey Vowell, assistant auxiliary division officer for engineering department.
Truman maxed out at 30 plus knots during the run.
(Excerpt) Read more at navy.mil ...
When I hear about all these reports about Indian and Chinese and Russian carriers, ya gotta laugh at their inferiority compared to our Navy.
US Navy rocks! (and rolls 13 degrees)
OK, it can turn. How are the brakes?
The forces involved in turning a ship that large at 30 knots have to be incredible. Hats off to the engineers who made it a reality! I would have loved to have been a part of the project.
I was fortunate enough to be on the Abraham Lincoln when it did its sea trials. Rocked!
My buddy was is a plankholder on her sister ship, the USS Stennis (CVN-74).
Had the opportunity to go out to sea on a cruise with him and stand on the deck as they launched and recovered F-18s.
Very cool.
The Hornet pilots aren't the only ones going to need g-suits :-)
Just love how after all these years the USN can stick to these vague speed claims for our Nimitz-class carriers. It's a bit like if the USAF stopped making speed claims for their combat aircraft immediately after Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier.
Heeling to starboard...Heeling to starboard
If I was in the Navy, I'd be the "land guy." I'd untie the ships from the, um, place.
One thing I learned while in the fleet...
When you operate with one of these things, when it turns it is best to get out of its way, regardless if you have the right of way, or not...
Can't argue with that logic at all...Or the physics...
Gives new meaning to "Tin-Can" sailors...
Doesn't sliding sideways qualify as Park Assist?
I'm guessing bow side-thrusters? Come on Swabs, splain this.
Wow, a small city could water ski behind this baby!
Actually, it's a "stern side-thruster".
having been on a many AC (5) a 13 degree list would be a pucker factor of a plus 10 at 30 knots for ANYONE on deck. Now imagine a pilot strapped in an F-18,on deck with that same degree.Some would be in AB with tie downs still on knowing they were going overboard or as they thought so.
How would they keep the bow pointed into the turn?
My understanding is they were doing a swing check, a counter steer to stop the swing of the ships bow.
My interpretation of the article is that they crank the rudder to the stop in one direction, and observe that nothing unanticipated happens, then crank the rudder to the stop in the other direction, and observe that nothing unanticipated happens.
While this is happening, the rudder causes a sideways force on the stern, and only the stern, so the ship turns.
Take a toy boat, put it in a filled bathtub, and push sideways on the stern; it will turn.
But can the sailors water ski behind it?
I got a chuckle out of that, too. I bet it can do 40+kn.
The problem at higher speeds is that they outrun escorts and auxiliaries, and that they make a LOT of noise for submarine passive sonar to listen for.
That's almost as fast as "High speed Harry" went when he was on his morning walks.
Wake me up when they test the Gabby Giffords.
"I think they have land guys, lol."
I've know guys that served on the Indy, Forrestal, Big E, Shitty Kitty — all of them saw these carriers outrun escorts when an aircraft went in the drink.
A neighbor served on destroyers on several WestPac cruises. He was a Boiler Tech. They literally had trouble keeping station during air ops when boilers & hull needed cleaning.
Spruance-class destroyers went so fast they threw rooster tails. But sea conditions limited the practical speeds more than it did with the carriers.
Thanks. GEORGE: What about the Coast Guard? Seems like a lot of pride there, a lot of tradition.
JERRY: True. You mean, for you?
GEORGE: I think.
JERRY: What about your sea sickness?
GEORGE: Maybe I could be a land guy.
JERRY: I don't know if they have land guys.
GEORGE: Someone's have to unhook the boat before it leaves...the place!
(Elaine comes in.)
Thanks, my boy is on the Truman. Last time they practiced this he was in his bunk and it rolled him onto the floor :)
Yo! Larry drop that bowline and trot on over to untie that stern line in.
I remain in total awe of our carriers every since seeing the USS Forestall being fitted out in Newport News from a ten foot wooden dingy with my slightly older cousin. Back in the day when that was still possible. Aside from the sheer size of the ship, the thing that sticks in my memory was how cold it suddenly got rowing from sunlit water to the deep shadow of the moored ship, like walking into cold box.
Carriers are obsolete. Nothing the US can do to stop increasingly accurate ballistic missiles from top-level adversaries.
With four nuclear reactors the Big E was faster. A close friend who is a nuke specialist in the underwater boat department told me the Enterprise has a classified emergency flank speed of 75 knts.
Lot of pride in that outfit.
I was aboard the Big E for a couple of cruises to the South China Sea and I was surprised when we out ran the escort ships.
800 ft?
That's amazing. I imagine that maneuver pretty much turns the rudders into ailerons...
If he told you and you then posted it here it's not very well classified, is it?

It's heartening to see the daylight hours begin to stretch out once more and where summer beckons albeit for what seems like a brief moment. The bad and most expensive period of the year is over with taxes and winter fuel bills all paid up to date and offering a short respite before Community Charges fall due. In this respect, there has been discussions about replacing the latter with a new form of payment but already, there are rumblings among local councils' eager to abandon the current freeze on Community Charge payments although, if that happens, then it may be next year before we encounter it. It's just one of many big decisions that we're likely to be hearing about in the months ahead, some of which have already been delayed yet cannot be avoided for much longer. 2016 thus seems set to be the 'year of big decisions' and I'm planning to add a series to this website providing some background to these challenges in the near future albeit from a personal perspective. This issue, it's the post-Brexit referendum which effectively ends our membership within the European Community for all time and where new questions about Scottish Independence have resurfaced in the wake of the result. In the wake of this, the planned update to this website has taken far longer to materialise and I apologise for that. I've taken several weeks to research and consider what the future may hold in the wake of this decision.
The Brexit Reality - Life without European Censure
On Thursday 23rd June 2016, and in a referendum which could have potentially involved forty-six million people, the British people voted to leave the European Union albeit by a narrow margin. It's a date that shall remain prominent in the annals of history not only for the UK but for a smug and complacement union of nations who never really believed that we might actually seek departure from the increasingly federalist authoritiy that the EC has become and far different from the
'Common Market' ideology that we signed up for in 1973.
Despite greatly hiked prices in the shops, butter mountains. wine lakes, and more, we voted for a second time in 1975 to support the insane Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) at the heart of the European Economic Community (EEC) doctrine largely on the basis of improving continental farming practices. Above all else, membership was supposed to allow access to one of the largest marketplaces in the World without cross-border tarrifs or taxation resulting in greater UK employment and exports.
Britain paid a heavy price to join the EEC and even in the revamped form calling itself the European Community or EC for short, it's perfectly clear how Britain, as the third largest financial provider to EC coffers was poorly regarded in
the run-up to the Brexit vote. What Prime Minister David Cameron negotiated with Brussels in advance of that crucial poll vote reminded reminded me of Chamberlain waving a worthless piece of paper shortly before World War Two began. There was nothing on that paper that guaranteed the right to refuse immigrants either in the short term or long term and I'm confident that this played a major effect on the voting patterns during the referendum.
It's frustrating and annoying to realise just how close each side came to victory in their political campaigns and where the previously held Scottish Independence vote was in favour of a United Kingdom totally commited towards a United Europe.
The inflexibility shown by the Europe Community to Britain and where it was needed most may yet prompt cause for other nations to reflect and pause before the entire structure and organisation comes under adverse scrutiny by the member nations.
Is this the Federalist Europe that they signed up for? In the British case, clearly not, and where the provisions of the recently held Scottish referendum on the subject of independence has become moot and void since the status of the United Kingdom within Europe does not exist in current times. The map illustrated clearly shows a massive disparity between that of Scottish voters and that of English separatists and yet, Scots are supposed to accept this on the basis of the previous vote.
Already, it's perfectly clear that Brexit will compel Scotand to leave the EC whether we desire such an outcome or not. We've been sold a pup rather than a fully grown race hound and that demands revisiting the notion of Scottish Independance and a new referendum based on the current criteria and before Brexit is allowed to happen. It should become the primary purpose of Scottish politicians to ensure that the crucial referendum is presented before the formal declaration of the UK desire and before 'Article 50' is presented before the European Union. Despite this, I sincerely doubt whether a separist Scottish nation will find favour withn the
European Community. In many ways, t
he inflexibility shown by the Europe Community to Britain at a time when it was needed most, has
led to this situation and may yet prompt cause for them to pause and reflect before other nations arrive at similar conclusions and elect to follow departure from a Federalist Europe that they never signed up for? If only they had stuck to the basic ideals of a 'Common Market' and trading ideal then its dubious whether Brexit could ever have become a reality. Students at Universities who were eligible to vote
have complained yet examination of these figures show how many of them 'couldn't be bothered' to vote. Analysis of the voting patterns show how active participation by them could have made a major difference to the outcome.
Taking a brief look at the statistics concerning political persausion, educational levels and age with the 'remain camp' shown on the left side of the graph; one can see how those of younger age were comfortable to remain inside the EU whilst the more elderely members of UK society felt separation was a far better objective. Those of more advanced eductational status clearly felt that better opportunities awaited them within membership of the European Union. The sad thing is that far fewer young people voted than might have been expected. It's been said that young people were denied this opportunity but its clear that it was their choice whether to vote or not. A substantial number of the latter chose not to vote so the outcome is what it is.
In my previous artiicle on the subject of Brexit, I made it clear how I was likely to vote and like many people, I seriously woke up on Friday morning expecting to hear that the vote to continue with EU membership had been victorious. It came as quite a shock to realise that the opposite had occurred. For my part, I still think the decision to leave the EU is insane and drivien by xenophobic issues concerning immigration and perceived link to employment, housing and more. In a country in which more of us are reaching retirement age, with many to compelled to work on beyond that age, and with fewer younger people able to fill the necessary skills gap, then any planned and sensible and controlled immigration policy makes sense.
As stated in the headline of this article, I've deliberately taken a lot of time to consider the potential consequences of the Brexit decision. It's allowed me to see how quickly David Cameron abdicated his position as Prime Minister despite former claims that he would stay irrespective of the vote. It's allowed me to see total breakdown of the Labour Party and where the contest for leadership is probably moot. It's allowed me to see Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP embarrass herself and her party on a European scale and confirming that once we're out then that will include Scotland too. It's alowed me to see that we're in a false dawn period whilst Article 44 concerning EU departure remains in abeyance. Ideally, from my perspective, i sincerely hope that it remains this way for many years since the damage done to the British economy is already considerable. Before Brexit, sterling equated to about one dollar sixty-six on average but has since fallen to about one dollar twelve: great for exports if the product being sold is wholly of British manufacture but elsewise challenging. In Japan, a country with the worst debt record on the planet, they'd have been delighted by such news since they've been trying to acheive similar results for decades without success. In true British style, we've attained that status within days of the Brexit vote and forced the Bank of England to reduce interest rates to almost non-existant rates. It bodes well for the UK in the short term interlude in which we are currently existing within but what of the medium and longer term? How will multinational companies regard Britain in the future if it fails to secure similar trading agreements with the remaining contingents of the EC? Even before these questions have been asked, France has overtaken Britain in the global comparision of economic states and has relegated Britiain to its former status of being in sixth place. Thus far, and even before the hard discussions of trade agreements has begun; the news has been negative and self inflicted.
In the run-up and prelude to the Brexit vote, there was considerable debates about the status of Switzerland and Norway as regards the EU. In early 2017, Switzerland is due to lose that former status whilst Norway remains compelled to pay huge sums into EC coffers in order to retain its trading status with the EU and much in the same way that the UK already contributes as a member of the EU. Does anyone seriously expect that to change in an agreement to secure a trade deal with Europe?
In similar ways, the former fishing rights to our coastal regions were sold off to Europe when we joined in 1972 and invited all and sundry to plunder the waters around our coast. Are we sufficiently naive to maintain that right in order to secure trade agreements with Europe?
I could cite many more examples and enough to fill a tome with more pages than the most books ever published. In terms of law, by example, there might be 800,000 revisions to make as a consequence of EU departure. In a previous article, I warned of the dangers concerning TTIP involving the EC but in the new reality in which securing a new trade agreement with the USA, this hazard has now become magnified.
At present, we're presented with a glass either 'half full' or 'half empty' depending upon your point of view. In my optimistic mode, I can see British manufacturing flourish with high technology products like never before and with exports to all parts of the World and in which high value currency exchanges are involved. Sadly, my viewpoint is tempered by the notion of a country more akin to poorly paid workers assembling goods for minimal wages with the latter becoming more probable. Even before Brexit, there's plenty of evidence to support the latter view with former 'industrial estates' reduced to 'trading estate' status. It's a sign that, as if any were needed, we aren't sufficiently productive or efficient in the World when we are compared to others. Getting to the former position will demand investment in technology, recruitment and training to high standards and long term encouragement to retain staff until retiirement age. The big question is who might pay for this and the effects on company shares and pensions.
It's sad to say that I've said more in the last few paragraphs than Nicola Sturgeon has uttered since her return to meet with European Ministers. It's my impression that she received pretty short shrift during these discusssions and prompting the major degree of silence that we haven't heard since. In many ways, the 'Scottish Independence' vote has queered the pitch and making the current situation far more complex and difficult. Looking back, I might have changed my own beleif in the Union and elected for an Independant Nation whose income was highly reliant on North Sea Oil before foreign interferance largely originating from OPEC countries might have made us destitute and broke. At the time, I thought this was a lucky escape but never imagined how the subsequent Brexit vote would go.
Having said that and in the wake of the 'Independance Vote' it's shocking to see how many roads in Scotland are in urgent need to repair compared with that of Northern England. In addition, it remains strange to me how so many EU projects involved Highland Projects compared to the Bankfoot Roundabout Project begun in Southern Glenrothes with the lofty objective of creating a roundabout on two bridges above the A92 yet ended with a roundabout with raised parapets intended for these bridges yet never built because the money ran out! Companies like Cannon and ADC based their decisions to invest in Glenrothes and partially based upon the completion of that project!
In current times, Glenrothes has the highest influx of motoring commuters in Fife region and yet lacks this facility while EU investment in the Highlands never had a chance of generating equal wealth opportunitties.
Our basic problems of transportation often lie closer to that ugly building in Edinburgh rather than the European Union.
More to follow soon.

Volcano Art Center to present hula arts
Volcano Art Center will present Kahula 'O Nawahine Noho Pu'ukapu under the direction of kumu hula Ana Nawahine-Kahoopii for an inspirational hula kahiko performance at the hula platform in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 15.
The halau, founded by Nawahine-Kahoopii in 2007, is based in Kuhio Village in Waimea. The mission of the halau is to express the sacred through the poetry of hula.
"Hula is a sacred path to the core of ourselves, the world we exist within and the worlds that exist within us. As we deepen this awareness of our place in the cosmos it is reflected in our voices and bodies, the joy of oli (chant) and hula (dance) are expressions of this awakening. This path of awakening is a lifetime commitment and one we graciously share with you," said Nawahine-Kahoopii.
Cultural demonstrations of lei making also will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the nearby VAC Gallery. For the outdoor hula performance, the audience is encouraged to bring mats for sitting on the grass, plus rain and sun gear, as the presentation takes place rain or shine. Events are free; however, parking is limited and national park entrance fees apply.
These events are sponsored in cooperation with Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and supported in part by the county Department of Research and Development and the Hawaii Tourism Authority. For more information, call Volcano Art Center at 967-8222 or visit www.volcanoartcenter.org.

I've tried to explain this to him many times. A good writer keeps readers hanging on every word. Loren bores people to death with his lack of brevity and his insistence of listing every person, entity or organization he's making reference to. He doesn't understand the term "We get it."<quoted text>Loren, With all respect, how many people do you think will read & comprehend your very long posts? I have read some of them & they at times cover 2-5 topics & lose fluidity thus losing the reader at times, myself included.
IF I want to comment/reply, I & others get lost in what part we want to reply to or even what your post may be about. Please break them down a bit. I believe that You have a thought & a msg or you wouldn't be posting.
This forum allows for 4,000 characters per post & you often use well OVER 3,000. Almost a book if not a magazine. That limits communication somewhat. TYVM
He's a self-impressed blogger that cares more about writing than he does participating in a continuing conversation and changing subjects in the middle of the topic. In short, he's annoying.
