“i-ELOOP” World’s First Capacitor-Based Regenerative Braking System for Automobile
MAZDA Motor has unveiled groundbreaking system which company calls it “i-ELOOP”, a world’s first automobile regenerative barking system that uses a capacitor. “i-ELOOP” is expected to improve fuel economy by approximately 10%. Mazda is planning to introduce this new technology in 2012 company’s models. Contrary to batteries, capacitors are capable of charging and discharging rapidly with a property of resisting against deterioration through prolonged use. “i-ELOOP” will efficiently convert the vehicle’s own kinetic energy into electricity as the vehicle goes through deceleration, and uses that electricity to power the climate control, audio system and multitude of other electrical components within vehicle. Regenerative braking system is gaining popularity as a fuel saving technology. Read more
Development of Peak Power Cut Device by Sanyo Denki
Increasing popularity of servo press machine in press machine industry has been fueled by its highly controllable servo motor, helping it to finely control the speed, position as well as pressure, while providing an easy maintenance since they do not require oil. This is huge advantage over conventional hydraulic press machines. However large servo press machines and conveyor systems require a large amount of instantaneous electric power in order to drive the motors, forcing the power distribution system of the factory to provide an instantaneous peak power.
