Sponsored by HBK In recent years there has been an increased interest in electric and more electric aircraft, including both novel all-electric aircraft, drones, rigid air ships, and traditional aircraft with efficient and more electric components. Validating these systems and components has challenges due to the nature of aerospace testing as well as the high… Read more »
Sponsored by ODU E-mobility and hybrid vehicles are in the fast lane! Demand for alternative drive systems is higher than ever before. Despite all the developments and innovations, one thing remains the same: If you want to drive, you need an energy source. The fact that the “fuel” is increasingly no longer fossil-based, rather pure… Read more »
Sponsored by Hesse Mechatronics Benefits of Smart Welding There are many types of welding used for the interconnection of battery packs. Laser, resistance, spot, etc. are just a few of the common types. Smart Welding was developed by Hesse Mechatronics to offer an alternative option. Smart Welding is “wire bonding without the wire” as it continues to… Read more »
Sponsored by CSM Fuel cell powered vehicles are becoming an essential part of the electromobility transformation. The core component of the powertrain is the electrochemical reactor, known as the fuel cell stack. Commissioning is carried out on test benches where all essential functions are tested. Afterwards, the requirements for the entire fuel cell-electric drive are… Read more »
Sponsored by Aspen Aerogels Battery engineers face the daunting challenge of maximizing thermal runaway protection while optimizing vehicle performance. This task becomes even more critical as cell-to-pack and cell-to-chassis designs increase in popularity because manufacturers lose the added protection that can be built into a module-based design. Although newer chemistries such as LFP and solid-state… Read more »
Sponsored by Knowles Precision Devices Many power electronics today are being designed for use in high-temperature, high-voltage environments, such as inside electric vehicles. However, size, weight, and power (SWaP) are also key factors driving electronic product development. These conflicting design criteria are an issue for many electrical engineers because space is not available to simply add… Read more »
Sponsored by CPC Whether thermal management liquid cooling loops are located at the EV charging station inverters, cable, or in association with the onboard infotainment systems or battery packs, these systems all need non-spill fluid connectors for serviceability and/or ease of use or manufacture. This tech guide outlines features of non-spill connectors used in liquid… Read more »
Sponsored by Southco The move from traditional engine vehicles to Electric Vehicles is driving a need for engineered equipment and infrastructure to support the transformation. The arrival of advanced technologies and the exponential growth predicted for electric vehicle charging is inviting industrial designers to consider a new mix of design challenges. As more EV Charging… Read more »
