Because :)

Blue With Flu (Signs)

Here's to quick recovery, both for your pathetic runny nose, and my lethargic pre-flu signs... Aces...

Because apparently, even the flu you have to share with me, meh...??

Sampaikan

Make the best out of your time and youth for this life and the hereafter... verily, God's bountiful grace blessings entails trust and responsibility towards self-betterment...

Because so many things, so little time...

Strings of Thought

The more I try to understand, the more I get confused...

Because I can't even tell when a smile is fake... :(

Smitten

Engineering is an art form... even way back in 1956... :')

Because art is timeless...

Strings of Thought

Underestimation is costly.

Because responsibility is personal;

Because laughing releases endorphins, which stimulates the prefrontal cortex, thereby inducing a feeling of pleasure;

Black is the New Black

Some stunning shots of the anticipated near future that is the Tesla Model S (Alpha).

Important? yes.

Game-changing? definitely.

Gorgeous? macho, thank you.

Tesla Motors is the 21st century embodiment of American ingenuity.

We are living in exciting times.

Because a technological advancement should be a work of art;

Verzeihen Sie mir

I should think about the words forming in my head for a second or two before letting them out...

If it sounded hurtful or blatant, it honestly wasn't meant to...

Because shooting stars are quite hard to spot, and they only zoom through the clear night sky for a fraction of a second...

Energy Received, Energy Returned

"The business side of PETRONAS was not its only important role. We also instructed the company to always be a good corporate citizen. In Sudan, for example, they built a hospital for their own staff and made it accessible to the locals, and they ran schools for local children. We generally treat local people as our friends, and are careful to employ them whenever we open an office. Many foreign students have been given scholarships to study at the prestigious PETRONAS Technological University."

-Mahathir Mohamad-

As mentioned in his memoirs.

I am in total confidence of realizing my true potential here. With clear aim, strong focus, and steadfast execution, ambitions materialize. It's simply a matter of planning your work, and working your plan, and of course, holding on to your dreams, no matter what. :)

Because I don't want UTP to stand for anything else;

Strings of Thought

Would an inconsiderate change of name render this institution of higher learning incompetent and impede the substantial rate of progress that we have accomplished over the past fourteen years?

Because rumours give a hint, and frankly, Universiti Teknologi Petroleum doesn't have a nice ring to it at all... sends out an incompetent perception...

Volvo Flywheel KERS system – significant performance gains, with up to 20% less fuel consumption

*From Paul Tan*

Volvo is set to test a new system called Flywheel KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which it claims will make a four-cylinder engine feel like a six-cylinder and at the same time reduce fuel consumption by up to 20%. The company has received a 6.57 million Swedish kronor grant from the Swedish Energy Agency for development, in a joint project together with Volvo Powertrain and SKF.

The Flywheel KERS is fitted to the rear axle – during retardation, the braking energy causes the flywheel to spin at up to 60,000 revs per minute, and when the car starts moving off again, the flywheel’s rotation is transferred to the rear wheels via a specially designed transmission.

The combustion engine that drives the front wheels is switched off as soon as the braking begins – the energy in the flywheel can be used to accelerate the vehicle or to power the vehicle once it reaches cruising speed.

The flywheel’s stored energy is sufficient to power the car for short periods. How it will have a major impact on fuel consumption is this: based on calculations, the combustion engine will be able to be turned off about half the time when driving in a New European Driving Cycle mode.

Since the flywheel is activated by braking, and the duration of the energy storage (the length of time the flywheel spins) is limited, the technology is at its most effective during driving featuring repeated stops and starts, which means busy urban traffic.

Combining the flywheel’s energy with the combustion engine’s full capacity promises a significant boost in horsepower, and with swift torque build-up in attendance, this translates into rapid acceleration.

The flywheel – which spins in a vacuum to minimise frictional losses – that Volvo will use in its test car is made of carbon fibre, and weighs about 6 kg with a diameter of 20 cm. It’s not the first time flywheel propulsion assistance has been tested by the company – a Volvo 240 also did so back in the 1980s, but the heavy steel-based flywheel wasn’t very efficient.

Volvo also isn’t the first manufacturer to test flywheel technology, but it is in applying it to the rear axle of a car fitted with a combustion engine driving the front wheels. If the tests and technical development go as planned, expect cars with flywheel technology to reach the showrooms within a few years, the company says.
