Nova Science Publishers Inc Innovative Methods for Improvement of Technical,
Book SynopsisAutomobile transport causes damage to both humans and nature due to road accidents and air pollution by exhaust gases, as well as by expanding consumption of non-recoverable natural resources in the form of liquid and gas fuels. For solving such problems there are represented strict requirements for the reliability and durability, fuel efficiency, maintenance efficiency, traffic safety and ecological compatibility of vehicles. All of these requirements can be united under the following name: requirements for motor car efficiency. This book includes scientific articles covering the results of elaboration and research of innovative methods for technical, economic and ecological efficiency of vehicles. Among these methods one can particularly note the method of production of motor oils on the basis of amorphous nano-dispersed carbon, based on the new phenomenon discovered by the authors - the tribosynthesis of graphite-diamond secondary surface structures having highly effective multifunctional tribological mechanism of action (known as the "Iosebidze-Kutelia effect"). This book will play an important role in solving the problems concerning the improvement of motor car efficiency.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Oil & Gas Transportation: Pipeline & Rail
Book SynopsisIncreased oil and gas production presents challenges for transportation infrastructure because some of this increase is in areas with limited transportation linkages. Technology advancements such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (pumping water, sand, and chemicals into wells to fracture underground rock formations and allow oil or gas to flow) have allowed companies to extract oil and gas from shale and other tight geological formations. This book examines overall challenges that increased oil and gas production may pose for transportation infrastructure; specific pipeline safety risks and how the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is addressing them; and specific rail safety risks and how DOT is addressing them.

Management Books 2000 Ltd The Estory: Undertaking the Mobility Challenge
Book SynopsisThis is an illustrated celebration of the pioneering development of Formula E – the FIA-approved class of auto racing dedicated to electric-powered cars.The Founding Partners of Formula E decided that the event would be a platform to boost sustainable innovations, a gateway to the cities of tomorrow and alternative transport. After the very first Formula E season in 2014-2015, this dream is already becoming a reality – and the best is yet to come. Without fear or favour, Formula E is now moving forward with a critical and (more importantly) enthusiastic approach to encouraging and promoting development of the format. You will find in this book examples of innovations developed at Formula E, or for which Formula E is a fast-track to growth. The set-up of the race is in itself an exceptional event. Here we focus on what is happening behind the scenes. As you will see, Formula E is (much) more than a race. Year after year, we will update this book with new innovations and new exciting partnerships.

Edition Axel Menges Car Design: From the Carriage to the Electric Car
Book SynopsisText in English & German. If laziness is the mother of all inventions, then the car is its masterpiece. The earliest means of locomotion was walking, followed by riding on horses or camels; finally, with the invention of the wheel, came the ability to use carriages, which not only made locomotion far more comfortable but also brought the transportation of goods to a whole new level. However, it then took millennia for carriages to go from being propelled by horses or oxen to engines, initially steam-driven, then propelled by internal combustion engines and early experiments with electric propulsion. Cars were initially the result of pure craftsmanship, and as passenger cars were based on the concept of the carriage. The assembly line had not entirely abandoned the carriage look, but already showed a typical automobile profile: equal-sized wheels, engine bonnet, passenger compartment. The predominant body colour of cars manufactured between 1910 and 1930 was black, while all makes of car had an almost uniform appearance. As manufacturers moved away from metal-panelled wooden frames to an all-steel design, they hesitantly ventured to adopt new forms. Improved undercarriages and higher engine performance were initially limited by air resistance, which above a speed of 60 kilometres per hour is the strongest of all driving resistances. This led to the development of new body shapes that offer less resistance to the airstream. Engineers still determined the form of the car, sometimes even achieving formal elegance. It was only rarely that members of other professions, such as the architects Le Corbusier or Walter Gropius, were commissioned to design a car. Between the two World Wars North America had the worlds largest fleet of cars; this also meant that their design became an increasingly important sales factor. Professsional automobile design was established. As they continued to develop technically, cars in the 1950s moved further and further away from the physically logical form of a moving body. One of the last and most outstanding examples of a form with optimum resistance to the airstream is the Citroën ID/DS of 1955. Others, indeed almost all, opted for the pure symbolism of speed and power, whose most important ingredients were tail fins and chrome. Today, with a global annual production of close to 100 million passenger cars, automotive style has come to be represented by a wide range of almost every imaginable form. Architect Hans-Ulrich von Mende has worked with partners in an independent practice since 1990. For 50 years his writings and drawings on automotive design have appeared in books, trade journals (mot, autobild) and the daily press (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zeitung).
