How GM’s brilliant little car kicked off an EV boom 30 years ago

Few cars have captured the popular imagination quite like the EV1, the pioneering electric vehicle that General Motors launched a generation ago. Approved for production in 1994 and released two years later, the EV1 wowed the auto industry, seduced the media, and seeded a community of passionate early adopters thrilled to drive a car that rendered gas stations obsolete.

The EV1 wasn’t unique only because of its fuel source; the car also introduced many features, such as regenerativ

The short, happy reign of CD-ROM

But even three years after going online, Tim Berners-Lee’s creation was “still relatively slow and crude” and “limited to perhaps two million Internet users wh

Fascinující větrné zdi letos zahájí pilotní provoz u zákazníků

Společnost Airiva vyvinula modulární větrné zdi s vertikálními spirálovými turbínami. Jeden modul s osmi turbínami by měl při průměrně větrných podmínkách poskytnout zhruba 2 200 kWh ročně. Domácnosti asi nebudou hlavním uživatelem, Airiva počítá spíše s většími instalacemi ve velkých veřejných prostorech a kolem komunikací.

Nvidia’s DOJ probe is proof of the chip-maker’s market dominance, experts say
