Electric outboards – Special Macchine Motori

Redazione

“The table published lists around forty models of electric outboard motors, almost all of which were on display at the latest edition of ‘Boot,’ the boat show in Düsseldorf, Germany. With the exception of the three prototypes presented by Mercury, Honda, and Torqueedo, all the other motors should be available on the market and therefore should represent the current European offering in the sector. However, this must be taken with caution. Due to the extreme mechanical simplicity of such units, the actual offering is much richer than what was displayed…

“Hydradig Pro” by JCB, the machine that does almost everything

Redazione

On construction sites and in agricultural businesses, the routine activities to be carried out are always highly diverse, and often, unpredictable tasks are added, either due to accidental reasons or the opportunity to supplement income with extraordinary and contingent work. A good example of this is winter road maintenance, which is only needed in the event of heavy snowfall, making it unplannable but offering interesting income opportunities.

Toyota still focuses on the internal combustion engine

Redazione

It is hard to imagine that the world’s largest car manufacturer has a distorted vision of the industry’s future. It is more likely that Toyota’s strong presence in the global market allows the Japanese group to have a privileged focus on the trends shaping the automotive sector. Toyota shares the belief that the future is heading towards the electrification of powertrains, but what sets it apart from many European and American manufacturers is the end point of this evolution. As repeatedly stated, the Asian multinational does not believe that full…

With “Sky Magnetar” dreams are hypersonic

Redazione

Everyone is talking about it, but no one understands how it works. Some discuss improbable jet engines powered by hydrogen fuel cells, and others talk about plasma jet engines, which are extremely difficult to realize. The fact remains that “Sky Magnetar,” a hypothetical aircraft intended to enable hypersonic flight in the civil aviation sector, designed by Spanish industrial designer Oscar Vinals, has sparked the imagination of all those who, since the retirement of the “Concorde,” have been dreaming of a new era of long-distance air travel at speeds multiple times…
