Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation has announced that it has donated to the City of Raleigh, N.C., three high-speed electric vehicle charging stations that can recharge a vehicle in just four to six hours. A public ceremony last week celebrated Raleigh's sustainability initiatives, its emergence as a leader in clean transportation and Eaton's commitment to developing the region's electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The chargers are the first of 30 public electric vehicles (EV) charging stations the City of Raleigh plans to install by September 2011 as part of its rollout of plug-in electric vehicles. 
"This important collaboration with the City of Raleigh will promote sustainability by creating the infrastructure that will help drivers become more confident that they can easily charge their electric vehicles," said Eaton's Tim Old. "Eaton's proven technology is helping to advance the aggressive early adoption of clean transportation in Raleigh and throughout the Carolinas. The region is helping to pave the way for broader adoption of electric vehicles throughout North America."
The charging stations, which are located in downtown Raleigh, are part of Eaton's range of products and services that will provide critical infrastructure for the EV corridors and across North America. The donated units are Eaton's Pow-R-Station(TM) Level 2 charging stations and have a 220-volt plug that allows a fast charge. It only takes four to six hours to fully recharge an extremely low battery using these charging stations.

A new hydro power technology is being developed by Sarfraz Ahmad Khan of Pakistan. In theory these hydro plants would not require a reservoir and would have a minimal impact on the environment. They could be run side-by-side in rows and would be much cheaper to build, operate and maintain. Sarfraz has high hopes that his ideas could revolutionize hydro power in his country and across the globe. He is currently seeking expert confirmation of his ideas; this article provides a brief summary of his ideas along with some of the 3D images he has created. You can help him by leaving your comments at the bottom of the page, or by joining the discussion that inspired this article. In the early 19th century, an increasing number of scientists became interested in electricity.
