As to equipment, the 2017 Mercedes - Benz CLA now comes standard with Active Brake Assist pre-collision braking, and can be optioned with new LED headlights that use up to 70 percent less electrical energy than standard lights.

You don't spend much on utility bills because it consumes less electrical energy.

Not exact matches

It manages to turn a less - than - scintillating - sounding subject — our aging electricity grid — into compelling reading, he claims, writing that even those who have never spent a minute pondering how the lights come on will leave this one understanding «that the electrical grid is one of the greatest engineering wonders of the modern world» and «why modernizing the grid is so complex and so critical for building our clean - energy future.»

This makes me happy: By creating a small electrical field that removes salts from seawater, chemists have introduced a new method for the desalination of seawater that consumes less energy and is dramatically simpler than conventional techniques.

One central reaction to climate change (and environmental issues in general) is to change our behaviour (i.e., using less fuel, electrical energy, eating less meat,...).

Mammalian neurons transmit electrical signals using much less energy than suspected.

Using a simple alternator, six hours of pedaling can create and store enough electrical energy in batteries to light about six homes for 30 days (in areas where people use less electricity than in the U.S.).

Dr Peter Bagot, Research Associate in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, said: «Digital broadcasting is more energy efficient than analogue broadcasting, and following digital switch over, digital broadcast towers now use less electricity than their analogue equivalents.

Nanotubes are stronger than steel and smaller than any element of silicon - based electronics — the ubiquitous component of today's electrical devices — and have better conductivity, which means they can potentially process information faster while using less energy.

It does this by changing the accelerator mapping so that the same pedal travel delivers less power than in the standard mode; the transmission control strategy for the automatic gearbox is modified to bring forward upshifts and delay downshifts, while intelligent energy and climate management reduces mechanical power consumption and also the energy consumption of electrical systems - such as heated mirrors and seats.

The system, which stores energy recovered from braking in large capacitors to run the car's electrical accessories, boosts fuel economy to 28 mpg city, 40 mpg highway, and 32 mpg combined since the engine has to work less to spin the alternator.

One advantage I really like, aside from energy savings, is that they are less hot and produce more light with less wattage, making it possible to have a «60» watt cfl where one is only supposed to have a 40 watt incandescent or a «100» watt cfl in a 60 watt lamp, both in terms of electrical and fire (the shade) safety.

You can preheat your water by using a hybrid system to use waste heat from the panels and / or in a seperate portion of roof space — water heating panels are much less costly per unit area and in terms of energy, but they are not of much use for electrical production; hence the need for other things.

In other, less windy regions lacking kinetic energy, there is still in the air, abundant CAPE (residual solar), existing either naturally (day, evening, summer), or through augmentation by transfer to air from waste heat sources, to produce a virtually inexhaustible supply of electrical energy.

Not So Secret Anymore EEStor has been playing the reverse psychology trick on most of us; the less they tell us about their supposedly revolutionary EESU (electrical energy storage unit) based on ultracapacitors, the more we want to know about it.

So the problem is: can current non-electrical energy usage be converted to electrical substitutes (think airliners) or can «modern» consume - more - tomorrow - than - today society be convinced to use considerably less energy?

HVDC technology can move more power over longer distances with less electrical loss than alternating current (AC) transmission routes; by doing so, HVDC transmission preserves land resources and maximizes clean energy availability.

A carbon tax would allow energy efficiencies to become cost effective faster, a carbon tax would cause the utilities to use less carbon fuels in the electrical grid and a carbon tax would promote fuel switching faster.

Non-hydro «renewable» electrical energy is also more expensive to produce from a system viewpoint than most fossil fuel energy; non-hydro «renewable» sources have a much shorter useful life and operate for much less of each year at much less of their rated capacity.

Then they determined PS1 converts sunlight into electrical energy with nearly 100 percent efficiency, compared to conversion efficiencies of less than 40 percent achieved by manmade devices.

The technology is coming out of a small company called Wysips, which has perfected a transparent coating less than 100 microns deep that captures enough energy from the sun to generate electrical power.

Can have a motor powered by electrical energy that produces less than two gross brake horsepower
