Electric Classic Car Market: A Comprehensive Study Explores Huge Growth in Future and determines that Zero Labs is an unstoppable global force that can only be stopped by drunk Elmo. https://lnkd.in/g6YfE6kN It doesn’t say that. It’s actually a $3,000 PR report made information of all of our pitch decks but it doesn’t mean we should not underestimate the stopping power of dunk Elmo.

I was curious to study the vibrations that an engine exhibits when a car is running So, I did a near-field acoustic holography measurement with a 1024 microphone array. The dominant frequencies of the engine were in the range of 50 to 200 Hz and I was able to reveal the distinctive vibrational patterns not only in the engine, but also in the doors. The advantages of this sound imaging technique is that it can help you understand in detail the dynamics of the car engine for performance optimization. Also, revealing resonant frequencies in the side doors can help manufacturers improve the design and durability of the vehicle. Mazda Motor Europe #postsbydaniel #automotive #innovation #sounddesign

Thermal Battery Runaway: A Hot Topic Indeed 🔥🔋 Imagine cars, buses, trolleys, and bikes engulfed in flames. While extreme, this phenomenon of thermal battery runaway can be accurately modeled. 🚒💻 If it can be modeled, battery designers can iterate to create safer battery packs. 🛠️🔒 My colleagues in battery modeling shared this nice animation done with GT-suite, showcasing a battery pack runaway simulation. 💡🎥 Understanding and mitigating these risks is key to have reliable electric vehicle on the road. I proud to have colleagues providing this awesome capabilities to the industry. #BatterySafety #Battery #EV #Innovation #Safety

Asymmetry and diversity with in symmetrical contexts. Can be a personality, can be a product, can be that thing over here. Aerodynamic efficiency requires symmetrical volumes or surfaces against the flow resistance in order to be achieved. But what about other non-structural elements...would they enhance the character ? #cardesign #cardesigner #industrialdesigner #automotive #cars

Last month, a report claimed that BMW was planning to abandon the Z4 as well as the 8 Series coupe and convertible. But these models may not be the only ones that will be retired. Where BMW Blog states that “the 4 Series is not expected to receive a new generation,” the report cites sources saying there are no plans to develop the 4 Series based on the CLAR architecture. But while the 4 Series as we know it may be on the verge of dying out, we can expect an i4 coupe and convertible based on the new New Class architecture. As a result, the 4 Series will effectively continue to run on electric power only. #BMW #4th_Class #bmw #Anis_Maaouia

Beyond my excitement for the Lucid Motors Gravity, this video a rare look at how a vehicle is actually crash tested and why things are designed the way they are. A few notes: 1️⃣ We used to just crash cars straight into a barrier at 35 mph and called it good. But about 0% of real world crashes are you barreling into a solid barrier at 35 mph. In the most recent National Safety Council report, 44% of crash deaths come from angle crashes, like the one the Small Offset crash test is designed to replicate. Example: The driver of an oncoming car glances at his phone, drifts into your lane and collides with just 5% of your front bumper. Or you drift off the side of the road and plow into a telephone pole with just 5% of your front bumper. (If I can get personal for a second, this is the type of crash my wife, Lisa, was in when she was in high school in the late 1980s. She underwent her last surgery to repair the injuries she sustained in 2016.) 2️⃣ THIS -- ALL OF THIS -- is why if you're in any kind of an accident at all, your car gets totaled. Cars from the 1960s didn't deform at all and sent all the crash energy straight into the passenger cabin, and more specifically, straight into the passenger. Vehicles today are designed to collapse to save you. 3️⃣ All of this WORKS, indisputably. In 1967 -- the year Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards were enacted -- we experienced a highway death rate of 5.26 deaths per 100M vehicle miles traveled. In 2022, it was down to 1.35 deaths per 100M miles traveled. Still far too many, but great progress since those days. Even in raw numbers not adjusted for vehicle miles traveled, we experienced about 8,200 fewer highway deaths in 2022 than we did in 1967, despite driving 2.2 TRILLION miles more than we did then. 4️⃣ People seem obsessed about the safety of electric vehicles. "Oh, they catch fire." Except they catch fire at a rate that is orders of magnitude less than cars that roll around with 15 to 24 gallons of flammable liquid in the tank. Raul Arbelaez, VP, Vehicle Research Center at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety / Highway Loss Data Institute said in a post in 2023 that after crash testing EVs continuously since 2011, never once has one caught fire.

Apart from what Hollywood’s sound engineers have done to bring the vehicles of science fiction to life in film, there isn’t a common precedent of what an EV should sound like to us. Many roads can be taken toward that end, which could involve altering the real sounds of an EV into something as familiar as an ICE (not unlike the principle of ICE vehicles equipped with a sound symposer to make them sound even more like an ICE) or something entirely novel that manufacturers may develop into their signature sound of the electrification era.
