Renewable energy has spent two decades winning an argument about cost. It largely won. What it inherited in return is a manufacturing problem, because the price ....
Quality control in most manufacturing answers one question: does this part meet specification today. Battery quality control has to answer a harder one: will this pack...
The full battery manufacturing process: electrode coating, calendering, cell assembly, formation and pack build, plus where yield is lost at each stage.....
Almost every wind turbine generating power into a grid today is an axial flow machine. Wind travels along the axis of rotation, passes through a rotor mounted perpendicular ....
Vertical axis wind turbines have spent most of the last century as the road not taken. Georges Darrieus patented the lift driven vertical rotor in 1931. Sandia National Laboratories....
A wind turbine blade can be 100 metres long and weigh 30 tonnes, and every newton of force it generates has to travel through a circular flange roughly three metres
A catalytic converter is mostly empty space. The part that does the work is a honeycomb block with thousands of parallel channels running through it, and the chemistry happens in
When a manufacturer first scopes an EV battery line, the shopping list is usually a list of machines. A welder, a tester, a few robots, some conveyor. After the first
A lithium battery pack is not really one product. It is a few hundred individual cells asked to behave like a single unit for the next eight to ten years,
The rapid growth of electric vehicles is increasing demand for battery manufacturing systems that can deliver higher production volumes without compromising quality,...
