0-60mph: 2.5 seconds

2014 is the year Porsche, Ferrari and McLaren collide in the contest for the ultimate hypercar. And it's first blood to Porsche thanks to the 918 Spyder's borderline-unbelievable 2.5-second sprint to 60mph when fitted with the optional Weissach high-performance pack. Over to you McLaren and Ferrari...

Ever wondered which cars can do the famous 0-60 mph test the quickest? Well here at T3 we're not just about the latest smartphones and tablets, we love our motor vehicles as well, so we aimed to find out. From Bugatti's to Ariel's, the is the ultimate list of speed.

Ping Rapture 3-Wood

Ever since Phil Mickelson won the Open by switching to a 3-Wood, manufacturers have been clambering over each other to offer handicap-cutting amateurs quality new drivers, with an increased loft. The new Rapture is a far cry from the fairway 3-Woods most are accustomed to and is aimed at those looking for more control from the tee box.

The 13 degree angle means it behaves like a 2-wood than a 3-wood, and you can actually adjust that down 0.5 degrees for a little more distance. However, unlike the classic driver it's more forgiving, offering greater loft, which can help fix that slice. Add a multi-material construction, blending a titanium face with a tungsten sole plate, and you have one incredible weapon in your arsenal.

Description:

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced the Trench-IGBT platform featuring Punch Through (PT) and Field Stop (FS) technologies. Designed to increase efficiency in motor drives, UPS, solar inverters, and welding machine inverters, the devices, offer low collector-to-emitter voltages, as well as fast and soft turn-on and -off for low conduction and switching losses.

Available in various bare die sizes with collector current ratings from 30 to 240A and breakdown voltages of 600 and 650V, the IGBT chips include Trench PT and FS devices, each available as sawn or unsawn die.

Offering extremely low conduction losses, the Trench PT devices feature a negative temperature coefficient for low collector-to-emitter voltages down to 1.07V at 50% rated current and 1.34V at full rated current and +125°C. With a Trench construction, the IGBTs offer a smaller size than planar devices, providing higher current density and lower thermal resistance without compromising performance and reliability. Providing breakdown voltages of up to 650V for increased reliability, the Trench PT IGBTs are optimised for low switching frequencies to 1kHz...

Description:

An 800W model has been added to TDK-Lambda's Z+ series of high voltage programmable DC power supplies. Addressing the requirements for applications such as deposition processes, ROVs and ATE systems, as well as general laboratory and industrial use, the higher power model is offered with output voltages of up to 160, 320 or 650VDC (as well as an additional model offering up to 375VDC).

Sharing the same features and compact dimensions as the other Z+ ranges, the model achieves efficiencies of up to 89% and carries a five year warranty. All units in the Z+ range can operate in either constant current or constant voltage modes and accept a universal (85-265VAC) input. For higher power systems, such as those used in test or simulation applications, up to six units can be connected in parallel in a master-slave configuration. To increase the output voltage or to provide a bipolar output, up to two identical units may be connected in series with external diodes.
