More and more people are buying electric cars or considering one as their next purchase, but EVs do have a problem: the battery. The range for most cars isn’t where manufacturers and consumers would want it to be. Also, charging times can differ in speed, which can be a problem depending on what sort of trips you’re taking.
Then there’s the actual battery health to consider, as the battery will degrade in time, requiring an expensive replacement. That’s assuming buyers won’t rather buy a brand-new EV car.
The lifespan of an electric car’s battery also opens up environmental concerns. Ideally, that EV...

Hybrid Batteries: Everything You Need to Know

Despite all-electric vehicles having certain advantages over conventional combustion automobiles, they also have some clear drawbacks that have stifled their adoption rate on some of the world’s largest markets. Solid-state batteries are supposed to close the gap between the two and are allegedly approaching mass-market applications. However, we’ve been hearing a lot about them for years with the relevant voices citing little in the way of tangible progress.

Do You Believe Solid-State Batteries Are Really Right Around the Corner?

Jet engines are relatively simple in their basic design, but advancements in gas turbine engine technology have mostly done away with the cool-looking bucket-type reverse thrust systems. These thrust mechanisms used to be on most jet engines, but thanks to newer, more efficient engine designs they are no longer commonly used in commercial jets, though some private jets with smaller and cheaper engines still use them. Two halves of the “bucket” hydraulically transition from shielding the exterior of the turbine engine to clamping together behind the turbine, which redirects the jet wash and slows the forward motion of the plane once it has landed.
