Cua- Thiab Hnub Ci-Powered E-Bike Charging Chaw Nres Nkoj qhib rau kev lag luam ntawm Tyneside

Power Trip, qhov chaw nres tsheb e-tsheb kauj vab, pib tsim hluav taws xob sab nraum Cycle Hub lub khw thiab khw noj mov thaum Lub Peb Hlis 15. Overlooking qee qhov nto moo Tyne choj, Cycle Hub yog lub hom phiaj tseem ceeb rau cov neeg caij tsheb kauj vab ntawm txoj kev mus ncig ntev uas ua raws tus Dej Tyne. Txhua tus neeg muas zaub tuaj txog ntawm e-bikes tam sim no tuaj yeem txuas mus rau Lub Hwj Chim Mus Ncig - rau pennies - thiab, thaum lawv haus lawv cov cappuccinos, them lawv cov roj teeb nrog xoom-carbon zog.

Siv ib txwm tsim ua ke ntawm hnub ci photovoltaic vaj huam sib luag thiab lub tshuab cua me me, Lub Hwj Chim Mus Ncig yog tsim los ntawm Geoff Wallman thiab tsim los ntawm nws tus hluas nkauj, Alexandra Prince. Wallman muaj Ph.D. nyob rau hauv engineering los ntawm Newcastle University, qhov chaw uas nws tshwj xeeb hauv kev sib xyaw ua ke cua sov thiab lub zog tsim hluav taws xob, lossis thermoacoustics.

Nws pib, Intelligen International, nyob ze Hexham hauv Tyne Valley, 20 mais ntawm Newcastle.

Wallman hais tias "Qhov no yog thawj xoom-carbon e-bike charging chaw nres tsheb,"

Nws hais ntxiv tias "Muaj li ntawm ib nrab ib kilowatt ntawm lub hnub ci vaj huam sib luag thiab ib nrab ntawm ib kilowatt ntawm cua turbine rau saum," nws hais ntxiv.

"Nws yog kiag li off-grid."

Cov xwm txheej zoo tag nrho rau nag hmo qhov kev tso tawm: lub hnub ci ntsa iab thiab cua daj cua dub sporadically. Qee lub sij hawm, cua turbine nyob rau sab saum toj ntawm Lub Hwj Chim Lub Hwj Chim tau tig ntawm qhov nrawm, thiab txawm tias nws qeeb mus rau qhov nkag, cov hnub ci vaj huam sib luag txhais tau tias tseem muaj hluav taws xob tsim tawm, thiab tom qab ntawd khaws cia rau hauv chav tsev ntawm cov roj teeb hauv lub nkoj.

Wallman hais tias, "Txhua hnub, nrog cua thiab hnub ci, koj tab tom them cov roj teeb," thiab tom qab ntawd mus txog hmo ntuj, nrog lub zog cua ib leeg, koj tseem them cov roj teeb.

Wallman ntseeg hais tias Power Trip units yuav ua haujlwm tau zoo ntawm cov chaw ntiav neeg ua haujlwm nyob deb lossis sab nraum lub khw muag tsheb kauj vab uas xav tsim kom muaj lub suab nrov zoo li hluav taws xob tawm.

Cycle Hub's unit muaj plaub lub ntsiab lus, tab sis qhov no tuaj yeem hloov kho rau lwm qhov chaw, raws li qhov loj ntawm lub hnub ci vaj huam sib luag.

"Cov tib neeg tuaj yeem nqa lawv tus kheej lub chargers thiab ntsaws rau hauv, lossis lub khw muag tsheb kauj vab tuaj yeem muab Shimano lossis Bosch cables, uas yog cov roj teeb uas feem ntau pom ntawm e-bikes," Wallman hais.

Yav tom ntej Power Trip units yuav tuaj yeem ua haujlwm 24/7.

Wallman hais tias "Koj yuav nce mus rau qhov chaw nres tsheb, luam theej duab koj daim npav lossis koj lub xov tooj, thiab tom qab ntawd ib lub chaw them nyiaj yuav qhib," Wallman hais.

Power Trip tam sim no siv cov roj teeb lithium phosphate tshiab rau kev khaws cia, tab sis Wallman tab tom tshawb nrhiav siv cov roj teeb siv los ntawm Nissan LEAF lub tsheb fais fab, uas feem ntau tseem muaj lub neej muaj txiaj ntsig tom qab siv txoj kev.

"Tseem muaj txog 60% lub peev xwm tshuav nyob rau hauv qee qhov ntawm qhov kawg ntawm lub neej [hluav taws xob tsheb] roj teeb," taw qhia Wallman.

"Nissan siv lub tshuab modular, uas yuav ua rau nws yooj yim me ntsis rau peb kom suav nrog cov qauv tsim yav tom ntej."

Wallman qhov kev txaus siab rau kev tsim hluav taws xob off-grid pib thaum nws tseem yog menyuam yaus rau tsev neeg hnub so hauv East Anglia.

“Peb muaj ib lub caravan zoo li qub nyob ib sab ntawm ntug hiav txwv cua. Kuv nco qab thaum ib tug me nyuam yaus, pw saum txaj, saib lub ammeter nyob rau sab ntawm lub khob, uas tau qhia koj tias muaj pes tsawg lub amps ntws los ntawm lub qhov rooj vag, wobbly cua charger uas tau daig sab nraum lub caravan thiab tau torn nyob rau hauv. Norfolk thiab Suffolk cua. Tsis muaj cua txaus thiab TV dub-thiab-dawb yuav tsis ua haujlwm. "

Tom qab ntawd nws kawm mechanical engineering ntawm Newcastle University.

Nws hais tias "Tyneside yog qhov zoo siab heev uas yuav ua rau tus kws tshaj lij," nws hais.

"Raws li 19-xyoo-laus, kuv nco qab kev caij tsheb kauj vab mus rau ntug dej hiav txwv, yav dhau los Swan Hunters shipyard, dhau los ntawm tag nrho cov kev ua haujlwm loj loj no, txhua tus tau tsav los ntawm Northeast, thiab hnov ​​​​cov plaub hau nyob tom qab ntawm kuv lub caj dab sawv. nce."

Turbines tau tsim los ntawm Tyneside los ntawm Charles Parsons hauv xyoo 1880s. Nws lub nkoj sim Turbinia, tsuas yog ua ob peb mais ntawm Cycle Hub, tau siv los ntawm lub tshuab hluav taws xob tshiab, thiab nws nto moo tshaj Royal Navy lub nkoj nrawm tshaj plaws ntawm Spithead Naval Review hauv 1897.

"Cov hluav taws xob ntau thoob ntiaj teb yog tsim los ntawm Parsons turbines," muses Wallman.

"Thiab lawv tau tsim nyob ntawm no ntawm Tyneside-nws yog qhov chaw zoo kawg rau kev nyob thiab ua haujlwm."

Lub Hwj Chim Lub Hwj Chim tau tsim nrog kev txhawb nqa los ntawm Niche Vehicle Network hauv kev koom tes nrog Lub Chaw Tsim Nyog Hauv Nroog thiab tau txais kev txhawb ntxiv los ntawm Innovate UK, thiab UK tsoomfwv Lub Chaw Haujlwm rau Zero Emission Tsheb. Lub Niche Vehicle Network muab kev sib koom tes R&D kev txhawb nqa SME-coj cov haujlwm ua haujlwm ntawm xoom-emission thiab qis carbon tsheb thev naus laus zis.

Ib chav tsev Power Trip pib raug nqi txog $6,500.
