R30: The past, present and future of power

by Steve Hughes

The past, present and future of power provides insight into the problems and opportunities the electrical and design engineering industry has faced over the past 30 years, and those which it will face over the next 30. Starting almost from scratch in the 1700s, the book explores the long journey from manually driven spinning-jennies to modern, 6-axis computerised robots, as well as the rise of electronics in healthcare and electric vehicles on our roads. In a rapidly electrifying world undergoing technological transformation, how can engineers keep up — and what are the challenges that lie ahead? Featuring interviews from industry leaders in materials science and medical device design, the book explores the emerging trends in industrial technology, renewable energy, medical equipment and electric transport.
