Electric cars powered up by Finnish innovations HIGH TECHNOLOGY › SMART TECHNOLOGY The Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) and a group of Finnish businesses have developed new intelligent solutions for electric vehicles to enable a standardised charging infrastructure, remote booking of a charging station as well as an intelligent charging process. The intelligent solutions were developed within the European Internet of Energy project. The other Finnish participants, in addition to VTT, were Elektrobit Wireless Communications (EB), Empower IM and Emtele. The project was funded by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology Tekes and Artemis JU. “Using the innovations created during this project, we are able to transfer information between a charging station, car and the electric grid, which enables several other services and makes it much more flexible to use an electric car,” says principal scientist and head of The Internet of Energy project in Finland, Juhani Latvakosk...

New innovations for Better UX I just love to see creative thinking, especially when it comes to connecting the dots between different technologies to create new innovations! We are living in a wonderful time for anyone who wants to create something. And I don’t mean to those who considers themselves part of the Makers movement, because today everyone can create amazing things, doesn’t matter what is your background and what skills you’ve got, if you like DIY projects than you know what I’m talking about… Take this guys for example, a company called Aesthetic Interactive, they actually mixed between Oculus-Rift and Leap-Motionto deliver a new kind of virtual-reality user-interface called Hovercast. This is a great example of creative thinking out of the box! And now I wonder when Microsoft will realize the potential in it, and if they will take an action to include some sort of Kinect sensors in their new magnificent HoloLens device. Meanwhile according to what we have seen when Micro...

The Steam Engine Kicked Things OFF The Steam Engine Kicked Things OffThe steam engine was, undoubtedly, the most important innovation in automobile engineering. Although originally developed to pump water out of mines, improvements over time would drastically shrink the size of the technology. The first reliable engine was developed by in 1775 but this was, in turn, refinement of the earlier Newcomen Engine. Steam engines would initially lead to the development of locomotives and ship propulsion but would later be refined for use in early cars in the late 1800's to early 1900's. The steam car became popular at this time, especially as roads improved. Fuel was relatively cheap as well. The fate of the steam engined car was sealed when Henry Ford fully developed his mass production process. Electrical starters for internal combustion engines also removed the need for hand crank engine starting but internal combustion engine driven cars would ultimately win out as they were  ...
