There are two significant issues facing road transport in the medium to long term: the depletion of cheap oil reserves and the need to reduce carbon emissions. A long term solution for passenger cars could be the introduction of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). However, one of the main problems associated with the current generation of BEVs is the...

... recent improvements in battery performance mean that BEVs could become a mainstream vehicle technology. In Figure 1 it can be seen that the energy density of rechargeable (secondary) batteries has increased significantly since electric vehicles were first introduced. The earliest BEVs used lead-acid batteries, which have an energy density of approximately 30-40 Wh/kg. ...

An image intensifier forms an integral part of a full-field image range finder under development at the University of Waikato. Operating as a high speed shutter with repetition rates up to 100 MHz, a method is described to characterise the response, both temporally and spatially, of the intensifier in order to correct for variations in the field of...
