Key Ingredients for Energy Optimization
  Key Ingredients for Energy Optimization

It's well known that motors are to blame for the bulk of a plant's electricity bills. But replacing power eating electric motors with energy saving motors is only the first step towards facility-wide energy efficiency. Complementary steps include installing soft starters to reduce peak loads, replacing mechanical actuators and controls with variable speed drives, and harnessing braking energy with regenerative feedback capability. These measures, which help constitute an integrated and matched product portfolio, are part of an energy strategy Siemens refers to as "Totally Integrated Automation."

Seaplane or Sail Boat?
  Seaplane or Sail Boat?

The wFoil 18 Albatross is a hydrofoil "designed to merge the feeling of flying with sailing." Toward that end, the two-seat, production-version of the craft can be outfitted with a 75 kW Rotax engine to "fly" across the water at 50 kts — or by installing a sail, the boat will travel up to 40 knots driven by the wind.

TECH-ARTICLE
Applying Acoustic Vibration Monitoring to Predictive Maintenance

"All sounds are produced by vibrations in bodies. In musical instruments the sound is emitted by vibrating strings or a reed. Our voice is the result of vibrations of our vocal cords. The number of vibrations a body makes per second is called its frequency and is commonly referred to as hertz. Ultrasound is defined as '…sound waves having a frequency above the limits of human hearing, or in excess of 20,000 cycles per second (hertz).' So by definition, ultrasound is totally undetectable by human ears…" Read this article in its entirety.
