Lithium ion batteries enable the implementation of renewable energy and electric vehicles, both of which are crucial for the transition to a sustainable society. Due to environmental, economic and political reasons, these batteries must be recycled efficiently. Most lithium ion batteries are placed on the market in electric vehicles, which are reaching end-of-life at an exponential pace, prompting

Saltmarshes are areas of coastal grassland that are regularly flooded by seawater. They support a large number of resident and migratory bird species, both overwintering and breeding. The Mersey Estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is situated in North West England and it supports nationally significant numbers of overwintering wildfowl and waders.

Med moderna mikroprocessorer kan motorstyrning göras i mjukvara. Ett mer konkret exempel är möjligheten att köra tvåfasstegmotorer med strömreglering. Redan med en enkel regulator kan mycket bra resultat uppnås. Stegmotor är en elektrisk motor som har fått sitt namn för att ett varv är uppdelat i ett antal lika stora steg. Antal steg/varv varierar och väljs utifrån motorns användningsområde. En s
