Motors make the wheel go round

Article Abstract:

UK electrical engineer Dave Gibson's love of electrical trams lead him to develop a rail wheel which can be steered individually, reducing wear and tear on both wheel and track while reducing noise and friction levels. The wheels are driven by synchronous motors which are magnetic and therefore require no electrical current. The wheels could be fitted to light tram systems, which would be quiet and easily controlled on tight track curves.

Caring for the old offers big opportunities

Article Abstract:

Applied technology should be used in such a way that old people can live in their home for longer as per their own preferences thus saving money. The study undertaken by a design house, working in conjunction with government-sponsored agencies and industry to investigate the potential for developing electronic personal care devices based on already realised technologies is presented.
