ECTunes has developed a new and innovative technology, which provides electric and hybrid vehicles with sound. And it is not just the sound of an engine, a song or other already seen features. The new technology is unique in the way that sound is composed and designed to obviate the need for variation. When the EV moves forward, the sound is only in front of the vehicle — as a warning to vulnerable road users that a vehicle is approaching and at the same time minimizing unnecessary noise on the sidewalk. The sound from the vehicle is depending on the direction, speed and acceleration of the vehicle.

Green My Ballard: Re-fueling
This might be the year I trade out my 1989 Toyota Corolla for a new – or new to me – car. I’ve had my little black coupe since 1998, when my newer model Toyota was totaled by a hit-and-run driver. I was moving back from Canada and needed a replacement in a hurry with limited Canadian funds to work with. Knowing a little about planned obsolescence when it comes to vehicles, I thought I’d keep it … Read more on Ballard News-Tribune
At least eight people are dead and more than 50 are missing after a turbine room in one of Russia’s largest hydro-electric stations flooded. A fatal accident at the RusHydro-owned hydro-electric station in Siberia has forced it to shutdown. Water flooded one of the turbine rooms killing at least eight people. State prosecutors say at least 54 people are still missing. The dam’s closure has forced steel and aluminum plants across Siberia to use emergency power. RusHydro said the damage runs into the billions and would take months to repair. Russia’s Minster of Emergencies said it would take years. [Sergei Shoigu, Russian Minister of Emergencies]: “It wouldn’t take months but years to replace three of the affected turbines, and the remaining seven affected parts, (repair) work must be begin immediately.” Locals fled the area when the accident happened, but have since returned home. [Sergei Shoigu, Russian Minister of Emergencies]: “As for electricity cuts, we are working to ensure that the local population do not suffer from this.” The power station has been running for more than three decades providing electricity to one of the world’s largest aluminum producers, United Company Rusal. The plant provides around 25 percent of RusHydro’s total capacity, the company’s shares have been suspended on the market. The authorities are saying an explosion caused the flooding. Local media reports suggest it was a water surge. Video Rating: 0 / 5
