Energy-efficient Electric Car: No AM Radio Due to Possible EMI
The BMW i3 Electric Car was the most energy-efficient car sold in the U.S. this year, according to Green Car Reports. However, consumers noticed the car does not offer AM Radio. “AM is not offered due to negative performance influences of the electromagnetic interference of the electric drivetrain. Electric motors cause interference on AM which is why BMW decided to remove … [Read more...]
Military Radio Frequencies May Interfere with Garage Door Openers
Remote-control garage door openers near the Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond K.Y. may stop working due to military radio systems switching to a new frequency range. The U.S. military will switch all land mobile radios (LMRs) to new frequencies, which are also the same frequencies used by certain unlicensed consumer devices, like garage door openers. These frequencies have … [Read more...]
Radio Interference May Cause Malfunction in Amtrak’s New Anti-crash System
Amtrak is working on an anti-crash system to prevent high-speed derailments, like the fatal derailment in Philadelphia P.A. last month that killed eight passengers, injured hundreds and caused more than $9.2 million worth of damages. However, the anti-crash system may malfunction near freight railroads. Radio interference from freight rails may disable Amtrak’s anti-crash … [Read more...]
Fluid Operated Computer uses Electromagnetic Fields to Perform Operations
A group of engineers from Stanford University have produced the first ever water operated computer. The computer uses electromagnetic fields to pump water droplets impregnated with magnetic nanoparticles into gates to perform complex logical operations. Manu Prakash, a Stanford assistant professor, spent almost an entire decade thinking about the possibility of a … [Read more...]
Electromagnetic Catapult Successfully Launches Dead Load Truck into River
Earlier this week, the U.S. Navy began dead load testing the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EALS) on the Gerald R. Ford CVN 78. The electromagnetic slingshot launched an 80,000 pound dead load truck into the James River in Virginia. The truck reportedly weighed as much as a jet. Even though the truck wasn’t airborne for too long before hitting the water, the test … [Read more...]

Woman Fights Cancer with Electric Fields
Elizabeth Marek, a mother of two from St. Louis Missouri, has a deadly form of brain cancer known as Glioblastoma, which has no cure and a life expectancy of two years after diagnosis. A small tumor was found in her brain after she started experiencing aggressive headaches, and surgeons at Washington University removed the tumor in an emergency surgery. Eventually, a second … [Read more...]
U.S. Air Force Verifies Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon
The Boeing Company has developed an electromagnetic pulse weapon that can target and destroy specific electronic systems in buildings. The weapon was specifically designed to target certain buildings without causing collateral damage or injuries. Previously, this technology was only available to Hollywood screenwriters; this technology is portrayed in Warner Brother’s “Ocean’s … [Read more...]
