Британцы создали гигантскую плавучую «батарейку» на водороде для круизных лайнеров и других кораблей
Британцы создали гигантскую плавучую «батарейку» на водороде для круизных лайнеров и других кораблейБританский морской консорциум сообщил об успешном завершении испытаний водородного энергетического хаба нового поколения — плавучей автономной системы, которую разработчики называют первой в мире независимой от береговой электросети платформой для питания судов.
В основе системы — три модульные плавучие платформы шестиугольной формы, которые в собранном виде образуют единый комплекс площадью около 1200 кв.
Принцип работы построен на гибридной схеме: топливные элементы постоянно подзаряжают аккумуляторы, обеспечивая быстрый отклик системы при подключении судна, а солнечная генерация снижает ра…

Apple Is Officially Coming for Meta’s Privacy-Invading Lunch With Its Own Smart Glasses in Late 2027
While checking out of a recent medical appointment, I was suddenly horrified to realize the front desk receptionist I was speaking with had on a pair of Meta x Ray Ban smart glasses.

The Journal breaks it down like this: annual new cars sales in the U.S. were at 17 million the year before the pandemic in 2020.
Despite total U.S. population growth of almost ten million people since 2020, the number of new car buyers has shrunk by more than a million.
At the time, the average new car price was hovering at around the $50,000 markâthough it has essentially plateaued ever since.
These are the latest developments in a broader consumer environment where, as was noted last year, the spending that drives the economy comes increasingly from the rich.
