NASA plans to launch the first human probe, the Parker Solar Probe, to the sun on August 4th. The main purpose of this ambitious project called "Touch the Sun" is to study the solar wind. Parker Solar Detector first installed and deployed a cutting-edge Thermal Protection System on June 27. NASA recently revealed that its first installation was officially completed. This state-of-the-art thermal protection system will protect Parker Solar Detectors from harsh temperatures and cosmic environments up to 4 million miles from the sun. In order to protect against high temperatures, engineers designed a special thermal protection system for Parker's solar detectors, including a carbon protective cover with a thickness of nearly 12 cm, like a thick parasol, covering the detector's main instruments in the shadows. The carbon shield can ensure that the core instruments are not affected. Its design can withstand temperatures up to 1370 ° C. NASA believes that the carb...
Tesla ’s first-generation Roadster has the ability to output power from a battery pack to devices other than electric motors. This technology is commonly referred to as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) or vehicle-to-home technology, which allows electric vehicle owners to use battery packs for electric vehicles as Home power. However, Tesla has already abandoned this technology on its mass-market models. According to foreign media reports, with the return of other automakers to this technology, Tesla's CEO (CEO) Elon Musk recently said that Tesla is also considering re-adopting this technology. The advent of electric vehicles will increase electricity demand, but electric vehicles also offer some advantages by controlling electrical loads. A recent study showed that the controllable electrical load capabilities of electric vehicle fleets and vehicle-to-grid technology can save billions of dollars and enable the grid to make better use of renewable energy. For years, Nis...
