High-temperature eddy current probes WSTH series for engine and aerospace test benches

PR-Gateway, , , ,

The development of high-performance engines requires measurement systems that deliver highly accurate and reproducible results, even under extreme environmental conditions. With the WSTH series, WayCon is launching a range of non-contact eddy current probes specifically developed for harsh, high-temperature operating conditions, such as those found on engine test benches (automotive and aerospace). With a wide temperature range of –20…+185 °C, high resistance to oil, exhaust gases and dirt, and millimetre-level precision, these sensors deliver reliable measurement data even in hot, contaminated environments. Thanks to their high-frequency signal output (up to 50…

Waterproof eddy current sensors for demanding industrial applications – WSTIP sensor series

PR-Gateway, , , ,

Waterproof, non-contact, precise: WayCon’s WSTIP eddy current sensor series for measurements underwater and in damp industrial environments. WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH is expanding its range of eddy current sensors with the new WSTIP series for demanding applications involving water. The waterproof sensors are designed for non-contact distance measurement of metallic targets and operate reliably even in damp, oily or dusty environments. Thanks to their IP68 protection rating, the sensors are particularly suitable for use underwater. The WSTIP series is based on the tried-and-tested WST range and covers measurement ranges from 0…

Breakthrough in PCSEL Optical Sensing Technology by Asahi Kasei Microdevices

PR-Gateway

TOKYO – April 9, 2026 – Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM), in collaboration with the Kyoto University Institute for Advanced Study, has successfully achieved laser oscillation in a 2 µm-band infrared photonic crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL). This milestone will enable the miniaturization of next-generation sensing systems while maintaining PCSEL“s high directionality and narrow spectral bandwidth. PCSEL technology, first developed in the early 2000s, was invented by a research team at Kyoto University led by Professor Susumu Noda. Compared to conventional lasers, it offers higher functionality in a compact device. In…

VAYU – The next generation of decentralized wind energy

PR-Gateway, ,

How the Swiss wind turbine pioneer 3D Wind AG is setting new standards for sustainable self-sufficiency with innovative 3D rotor technology The Vayu wind turbine from the Swiss company 3D Wind AG represents a modern, future-oriented approach to decentralized energy generation. As a wind turbine pioneer, the company relies on an innovative, vertical-axis turbine concept with a three-dimensional rotor structure. Unlike conventional horizontal-axis large wind turbines, this system operates independently of wind direction and requires no active tracking. This results in a technically elegant solution that is particularly well-suited to…

Vayu from the Swiss wind turbine pioneer – a new approach to energy generation.

PR-Gateway, ,

The Vayu system from the Swiss wind turbine pioneer differs fundamentally from conventional wind turbines in its technical design. „Terms such as ‚revolution‘ should be used with caution in an economic context so as not to devalue their meaning through overuse. In the case of Vayu’s 3D wind turbine, however, there are objective reasons for deliberately abandoning this caution,“ says the wind turbine pioneer from 3D Windrad AG. We are currently undergoing a profound transformation in energy policy. The share of renewable energies in electricity generation – particularly from hydro,…

The wind is blowing in a new direction: How the wind market is evolving and why Vayu could change it.

PR-Gateway, ,

„Vayu“: A pioneer in wind turbines is rethinking wind energy. The wind market is undergoing a period of profound change. What once began with isolated wind turbines on hills and fields is now a global billion-dollar market and a cornerstone of the energy transition. All over the world, rotors are turning, bigger, taller, and more powerful than ever before. But while classic wind turbines continue to be optimized, a quiet but potentially revolutionary change is on the horizon-driven by new approaches, new technologies, and wind turbine pioneers who have the…

Swiss wind turbine pioneer and the dream of self-sufficient and environmentally friendly power supply with „Vayu“.

PR-Gateway, , ,

Living wherever one wants: with the 3D wind turbine „Vayu“, self-sufficient modern living is possible. Self-sufficient electricity for the household with the 3D wind turbine „Vayu“ was created by 3D Windrad AG, a wind turbine pioneer, out of a wish to no longer be satisfied with the limitations of the existing energy supply. The desire for independence grows where rising prices and ecological responsibility converge. The wind becomes a silent partner in everyday life, providing exactly the energy that modern homes need. At the heart of this vision is the…

Wind turbine pioneer presents „Vayu“ – revolutionary 3D wind turbine for a new generation of energy creation.

PR-Gateway, ,

Wind turbine pioneer „Vayu“ offers solutions with advanced aerodynamics With Vayu, the visionary wind turbine pioneer, „3D Windrad AG,“ presents an innovative three-dimensional wind turbine that sets new standards in efficiency, environmental compatibility, and design. This novel energy system was developed to make wind energy usable even where conventional wind turbines have previously reached their technical, ecological, or societal limits. Unlike conventional two-dimensional wind turbines, Vayu utilizes three-dimensional movement, enabling it to efficiently capture wind from almost any direction. The system begins generating electricity at a minimum wind speed of…
