Go With the Flow: New Water-Based Battery Could Extend EV Range Beyond 240 Miles

August 28, 2013
Imagine a brave new world where an affordable family EV sedan could cover the distance between New York City and Washington, D.C., on a single battery charge. It remains a fantasy, but perhaps not for too long. Scientists at GE Global Research and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are developing a new kind of water-based “flow” battery for electric vehicles that could achieve this driving range and go beyond it.

Science In Action: Inside GE’s Research Labs

August 26, 2013
Nobody likes turbulence. The familiar kind of air turbulence may rattle nerves and spill coffee into passengers’ laps. But planes also suffer from its less palpable form along aircraft wings and engines. A few years ago, Seyed Saddoughi, who works as principal engineer in the Aero-Thermal and Mechanical Systems lab at GE Global Research (GRC), developed thin devices the size of two stacked credit cards that can smooth the drag caused by turbulence and make flying more efficient.

GE Phone Home: GE Technology Helped Fly Humans to the Moon

July 26, 2013

NASA attached a GE jet engine to the Lunar Lander Test Vehicle to simulate the moon’s weaker gravity.
It was 44 years ago last Saturday that Neil Armstrong’s and Buzz Aldrin’s boots touched the surface of the moon for the first time. Those soft boots and other systems supporting NASA’s Apollo missions relied on solid GE engineering.

Go With the Flow: These Electric Air Jets Could Smooth Out Your Plane Ride

July 09, 2013

Scientists at GE Global Research are experimenting with thin jets of air to reduce turbulence along aircraft wings and wind turbine blades, and to improve efficiency. They are using devices the size of two stacked credit cards to speed up air that naturally slows down due to surface friction. Just a small decrease in drag could save millions of dollars for airlines alone.

How to Build a Man of Steel: Genius Man and the Amazing Physics of Superheroes

June 13, 2013

A few years ago, physics professor James Kakalios took a playful detour from the lab and the classroom and published The Physics of Superheroes, an engaging explainer of the natural laws and forces driving the amazing feats of Superman, Spider-Man, Magneto and dozens of other heroes and villains. “Reading classic and contemporary superhero comics books now, with the benefit of a Ph.D. in physics, I have found many examples of the correct description and application of physics concepts,” Kakalios writes.

Ge科学家正助力将先进激光制造技术成为主流

May 10, 2013

在广泛的工业领域中,推动提供更高性能和效率的激光切割、焊接、划线应用

2013年5月9日,上海------GE科学家和工程师们正在开发下一代激光制造技术,这一技术将有望成为制造业的主流。现在以及未来的制造业的员工将能运用这一高科技激光技术,使工作更快、更高效、更精准。

日前,GE中国研发中心激光科学家们研发了一款激光增材制造设备,能够将像钛合金这类难以处理的材料打印出高达1米的复杂形状零件。正在开发的这种增材制造技术(也称之为3D打印技术),将用于飞机发动机风扇叶片的前缘部件制造。该技术相比原有制造工艺不仅能够降低约30%的生产成本,而且能够缩短约40%的制造周期。GE也正在评估这一先进技术在不同业务集团(包含复杂零部件的生产)的应用可能性。
