Audi e-tron GT goes into production

-

Audi has begun series production of its new e-tron GT, which will be the brand's most powerful electric vehicle, writes Brian Byrne.

Orders for the car will be accepted from the Spring of next year.

In line with the move towards carbon-neutral production, the Böllinger Höfe factory where the car is being built operates on 100pc eco-electricity and heat from regenerative sources.

Ferrite Transformer Turns Calculation for High-Frequency/SMPS Inverter

-
Image
On different forums, I often find people asking for help in calculating the required turns for a ferrite transformer they are going to use in high-frequency/SMPS inverters. In a high-frequency/SMPS inverter, the ferrite transformer is used in the step-up/boost stage where the low voltage DC from the battery is stepped up to high voltage DC. In this situation, there are really only two choices when selecting topology – push-pull and full-bridge. For transformer design, the difference between a push-pull and a full-bridge transformer for same voltage and power will be that the push-pull transformer will require a center tap, meaning it will require twice the number of primary turns as the full-bridge transformer. Calculation of required turns is actually quite simple and I’ll explain this here. For explanation, I’ll use an example and go through the calculation process. Let’s say the ferrite transformer will be used in a 250W inverter. The selected topology is push-pull. The power source...

Ur-Saab and Some Antecedents

-
Image
In 1947 SAAB ( Svesnska Aeroplan AB ), builder of military aircraft, was exploring entering the automobile market.  The initial result was the prototype that some people nowadays call the UrSaab .  (In Germany and some parts of Europe probably including Sweden, the prefix "Ur" is sometimes applied to the earliest example of something.  The word Ur is the name of what some anthropologists claimed was the world's oldest city.) A series of prototypes were built, details edging towards the first production model, the Saab 92 that reached the Swedish market in 1950. Below are images of that car and another prototype along with two earlier cars with similar rear styling details.  Because Saab built aircraft and had a wind tunnel, it is no surprise that the new car was tested to enhance aerodynamic efficiency.  Whether or not the other streamlined examples actually influenced Saab designers is belong the scope of my source materials.  That said, I hope you might ...
