What does the new gas-free motor technology mean for portable outdoor power equipment?
FORBES: Outdoor Power Equipment Goes Gas-Free: Makes Way To Wind Energy
These mofos will feature PAN motor technology which essentially means all the electronics, software, and motors are built into the wheels.
The hybrid power cell in the CORE motor technology makes it capable of storing and delivering large amounts of power in a very small package.

That's good news, says Hawkes, since, with existing battery and electric motor technology, he can manage 14hp in a 22-foot sub but not much more.
Jore believes they can leverage the CORE motor technology in a wind turbine power generation system at Boulder Wind Power in Colorado for residential and commercial deployments.

As well as the Higgs Prize and a number of other initiatives, this week the government will be announcing the appointment of 33 new health fellows to conduct research into medical challenges such as treating motor neurone disease, how to use technology to help people with diabetes and how to control internal bleeding.
Compounding the problem: the floods have also have affected component suppliers, including the disk-drive motor company Nidec and suspension arm manufacturer Hutchinson Technology, among others.

For the past decade the American motor industry has been traversing a shift in manufacturing technology that requires fewer workers with more skills (see chart).
But Thilo Koslowski of Gartner G2, a technology research firm in Stamford, Connecticut, believes that motor manufacturers are likely to benefit most from remote diagnostics.
She also says the new four-seater will stand out because it will have ground-breaking technology as previewed on the forvision concept shown last September at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Nor does it reflect production costs for the Volt, which has expensive technology including lithium-polymer batteries, and sophisticated electronics, plus an electric motor as well as its gasoline engine, Reuters says.

His last big project was a Utopian community in Florida, in which he tried to use technology to rid modern life of its concomitant ills, notably urban sprawl and intrusive motor cars.
The company also is developing four-wheel-drive technology that powers two wheels with an internal combustion engine and two with an electric motor, eliminating the need for a drive train that takes up floor space, Ho said.
Honda Motor (nyse: HMC - news - people ) has also inquired about the technology.
He realized that this same technology could be used to measure and track vodka, gin and whisky just as easily as motor oils and brake fluid.
