Environment "Protecting the environment" - that means that we think of our children. In a time of fast-moving globalization and rapid technological change, it becomes clearer every day how limited the resources on this planet are. Resources that recently seemed to be available in unlimited quantities - such as water and air - are now considered limited or threatened in their purity. The responsible use of nature's valuable raw materials is therefore a fundamental part of H&H's corporate philosophy. Only the consistent observation of ecological findings can ensure the long-term success of our...

WARR Hyperloop An extremely fascinating project is "WARR Hyperloop", in which Hocherl & Hackl also participates and supports the project development by providing electronic loads. Hyperloop is the concept of a high-speed transport system in which a magnetic levitation train is transported in a vacuum tube. The Hyperloop is similar to the Transrapid, except that no evacuated tubes are used. According to the old principle of the pneumatic tube system, electrically driven transport pods with travel speeds of up to about 1125 km/h are to be transported on air cushions using solar energy, and thus...

Solar Team Twente The Solar Team Twente (part of TU Twente) designs and builds a solar car every other year to participate in the World Solar Challenge in Australia. In 2017, this team took part with the RED SHIFT, a solar car in which the so-called Solar Balancing technique called "SABINE" was applied. SABINE stands for Solar Array Balancing Interface Not Expected. It ensures that losses caused by the differences between the revenues of solar cells, also called Grouping Loss, are marginalized. SABINE "removes" energy from high-performance cell groups and gives it to poorly-performing groups....
