Tier 4 and Euro VI regulations are topics that are currently weighing on the minds of design engineers in the heavy equipment industry. As the core number of deadlines begin to arrive over the next 3 to 4 years for reaching new strict regulations to significantly reduce NOx, particulate Matter (PM), and carbon monoxide (CM), companies globally are scrambling to find ways to adapt existing designs or redesign diesel engine systems of off-highway vehicles. Achieving these extremely reduced emissions is not just a nice to have on a list of objectives, it is a matter of staying in business. |

We are re-thinking how we spend, re-thinking the effects of the products we use, re-thinking our past practices and re-thinking how we will re-build our economy and be mindful of our environment. We can no longer doubt whether or not global warming is real. The recent experience of our weather has forced us to become environmentally conscious or face the consequences. |

Heat from the tropical sun warms the ocean surface off Guam to an inviting 80 degrees Fahrenheit. But 3,000 feet below, the ocean remains a bone-chilling 40 degrees.
That temperature difference promises to provide the U.S. Navy with a limitless supply of electricity.

Wings which redirect air to waggle sideways could cut airline fuel bills by 20% according to research funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Airbus.
The new approach, which promises to dramatically reduce mid-flight drag, uses tiny air powered jets which redirect the air, making it flow sideways back and forth over the wing. |

Magnetic refrigeration technology could provide a 'green' alternative to traditional energy-guzzling gas-compression fridges and air conditioners. They would require 20-30% less energy to run than the best systems currently available, and would not rely on ozone-depleting chemicals or greenhouse gases. Refrigeration and air conditioning units make a major contribution to the planet's energy consumption - in the USA in the summer months they account for approximately 50% of the country's energy use. |

From the window of a TGV hurtling through France, the countryside flattens to a smudge—electrical towers rise and recede in clusters, and tall, lanky wind turbines seem to whip off pirouettes like a young Moira Shearer. Most passengers turn their heads, nodding off on a neighbor or burying their noses in Le Monde, but for a triumvirate of young designers, the sight is a view of the future
