Powering the World's Fastest Diesel

MPW technology helped a British team to smash the world land speed record for a diesel car. JCB DIESELMAX became the world’s first fastest diesel when it set a new average speed of 328.767 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, eclipsing the previous record of 235mph.

The pioneering car used batteries developed by Lincolnshire firm Amberjack Projects Ltd which in turn were powered by a battery charger designed and manufactured by MPW Electronics.

 

A Stroke of Pure Genius

Beer drinkers can now enjoy the magic of Guinness draft in the comfort of their own home thanks to the innovators at Guinness owner Diaego and MPW Electronics.

At the touch of a button people drinking Guinness poured from a can are now able to savour the experience of the powerful surge and settle that makes Guinness Draught beer unique.

This is all thanks to the clever Guinness Surger which sends ultrasonic sound vibrations through the beer, activating that instant rush of Guinness magic and creating a rich black body with a tight creamy head. The surger base is connected to the mains via a power supply produced by MPW Electronics.

The brief was to devise a standard charger capable of producing enough voltage to make the base of the surger vibrate and activate the beer in the glass. The beer is exactly the same as you would get from a Guinness keg, its just a different method of releasing the gas.

The Guinness Surger hit the marketplace early 2006 and can now be purchased exclusively at participating Tesco's stores.

The surger is also used in pubs and bars which are unable to serve Guinness on draught either because of a low throughput or because they haven’t got enough room to store the keg. The Guinness Surger is proving particularly popular in the Far East, Australia and Europe.

 

Powering Hearing Induction Loop Systems

Contacta Ltd is the market-leading manufacturer and supplier of hearing induction loop systems.

Banks, building societies, shops, hospitals, and local authorise rely on Contacta to provide them with the necessary auxiliary aids to assist the hearing-impaired and so ensure that their public areas comply with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.

Customers with a hearing-impairment rely on Contacta to provide the technology for the induction loop systems to be designed to offer the best performance possible.

In turn, Contacta relies on MPW Electronics to manufacture and provide the power supply units.

 

Going Straight

MPW Electronics manufactures and distributes power supplies for a vast range of products from mobile phones to electric cars and everything in between. So being asked to provide a power supply for a hair straightener came as no surprise.

However this was no ordinary hair straightener: the Corioliss Neocurl Cordless Hair Straightener is the world's first charging and discharging battery-operated cordless hair straightener.

It has already won a prestigious Internation Forum (iF) design award and was a winner on the Hair Magazines Awards 2006. It has also been shortlisted for an innovation award in the UK Hair Awards 2007.

As well as being portable the Corioliss Neocurl Cordless Hair Straightener heats up to 180oC in one minute and can last for 45 minutes.

To make it easy to use, charge and know when it's ready, the Corioliss Cordless has lots of visual displays including an on/off light, temperature selection LED and battery low warning.

Besides providing the mains power supply MPW Electronics has also developed an in-car charger allowing the straighteners to be charged and used almost any time and anywhere.

The hair straighteners are a world first and are being sold by retailers worldwide and via British Airways' in-flight magazine.

 

Come on in, the water's lovely

The water softener market is becoming a huge growth area as more and more people switch on to the fact that they can minimise problems caused by lime scale build-up in kettles, boilers and washing machines.

MPW Electronics provides the power behind Ecowater, the world's largest supplier of domestic water softeners.

EcoWater imports water softeners from the United States and buys all its power supplies from MPW before fitting them at its UK HQ in Buckinghamshire.

EcoWater sells direct to the public through its network of water softener dealerships and to plumbers and heating installers through builders' and plumbers' merchants under the Tapworks brand.

Combined sales through these channels make the company the leading electronic water softener supplier in the UK.

One of the factors in the success of the EcoWater and Tapworks water softeners is the power supply designed and manufactured by MPW Electronics.

The Lincolnshire firms used all its expertise and know-how to design and manufacture a power supply for the EcoWater range which is robust, efficient and 100% reliable.
