S340- The future of the Indian electric mopads.

Image
Today, the rend is rapidly changing the trend of electric mobility and is taking us a step closer toward an electric future with everyday. Almost all the market leaders are trying to gain this opportunity with many new players coming in the market. Tesla has almost revolutionised the future of electric mobility with its extraordinary models. Even the companies from the Lamborghini to the Porsche are also developing their versions of electric beasts. Almost, all the researches are being focussed toward the cars but there are few which are targetting the other segments and the two-wheeler market is one of them. In India too, there are few players who are targetting the two wheeler segments. Ather Energy is one such name which is aiming to change the future of mopads( two-wheelers) in the Indian markets.  Ather energy is basically an India based startup focussed on building the first smart electric two-wheeler of India, the S340. Founded in 2013, Ather Energy is the brainchild ...

LiFi - One step toward our dream of seamless data transfer.

We all have used Wi-Fi over some point of life. It has made life easier and provides the internet at a very high speed and also covers a good area to transmit the radio waves through a router or any transmitting tool. So can anything be more efficient and provide faster speeds than Wi-Fi? Also the US Federal Communications Commission has warned of a potential spectrum crisis because Wi-Fi is close to full capacity. Then what is the next step? The answer is “Li-Fi”. Li-Fi stands for Light Fidelity. Now, in our previous article we have seen how LIDAR works on the basis of light transmission. Li-Fi also works on the principle of light transmission.  Li-Fi is a bidirectional, high-speed and fully networked wireless communication technology and is a form of optical wireless communications (OWC) and uses the visible spectrum as well as ultraviolet and infrared radiation. The OWC technology uses light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a medium to deliver networked, mobile, hig...

We have heard of RADAR which is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects. ... The term RADAR was coined in 1940 by the United States Navy as an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging or RAdio Direction And Ranging The electronic principle on which radar operates is very similar to the principle of sound-wave reflection. If you shout in the direction of a sound-reflecting object (like a rocky canyon or cave), you will hear an echo. If you know the speed of sound in air, you can then estimate the distance and general direction of the object. The time required for an echo to return can be roughly converted to distance if the speed of sound is known. Similarly we have SONAR, SOund Navigation And Ranging a system for the detection of objects under water by emitting sound pulses and detecting or measuring their return after being reflected. Although sonar works fantastic for helping your grandfather catch the big ones, it ...
