Witness the first test of a real-world Power Loader, straight out of Aliens. Hacksmith Industries' creation combines cinematic design with industrial engineering, featuring a 36-gallon hydraulic flow ...

In the 1990s, experts calculated that without efforts to increase efficiencies and reduce “no-load” power consumption, external power supplies—the ones used to power everything from cell-phones to ...

K-Force hydraulics improve available hydraulic horsepower on all of Bobcat's mid-sized skid-steer loaders by 8 percent, providing better breakout force and attachment power. The ROPS/cab on Case's 400 ...

The new Komatsu WA250-5 wheel loader, with a Tier-II-compliant engine and a hydrostatic transmission, has a sleeker look than its WA250-3 predecessor (below). The new machine, built in Komatsu's ...

Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...

The industry’s insatiable need for power in high-performance computing (HPC) is creating problems for test cells, which need to deliver very high currents at very consistent voltage levels through the ...

Exoskeletons, power suits, and iron suits in science fiction have served as the inspiration for many engineers and engineering projects over the years. This is certainly the case at [Hacksmith ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...
