World’s Fastest Electric Car Charger Installed In Norway
The company (ABB E-mobility) shares a stunning announcement regarding the speed of this station: “The charging stations can simultaneously charge up to two vehicles with dynamic power distribution. With a maximum output of 360 kW, the Terra 360 is a future proof solution capable of fully charging an electric car in 15 minutes or less.”
There will soon be a more widespread roll out across Norway and Sweden, and further proof that the ABB charging technology can perform well in extreme weather conditions.
As we all are aware, Norway leads the electric vehicle revolution, and Sweden is also near the top. Norway intends to become the first nation to end the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2025.

MIT News: A new heat engine with no moving parts is as efficient as a steam turbine
Engineers at MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have designed a heat engine with no moving parts. Their new demonstrations show that it converts heat to electricity with over 40 percent efficiency — a performance better than that of traditional steam turbines.
The heat engine is a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell, similar to a solar panel’s photovoltaic cells, that passively captures high-energy photons from a white-hot heat source and converts them into electricity. The team’s design can generate electricity from a heat source of between 1,900 to 2,400 degrees Celsius, or up to about 4,300 degrees Fahrenheit.

"The Infinity Train has the capacity to be the world’s most efficient battery-electric locomotive. The regeneration of electricity on the downhill loaded sections will remove the need for the installation of renewable energy generation and recharging infrastructure, making it a capital-efficient solution for eliminating diesel and emissions from our rail operations.” ~ Elizabeth Gaines Fortescue, Chief Executive Officer
