Improved iPhone integration to Windows 11

 Windows is getting much improved iPhone Integration in an unexpected way

Last year, Microsoft added new features to its Phone Link Android experience and made it available directly from Windows 11's Start Menu (sometimes called the floating sidebar), making it significantly easier to access the suite of options faster. Microsoft is currently testing a new integration feature for iPhone users in the Windows Insider Dev and Beta channels. This update introduces a side panel in the Start menu, allowing iPhone users to quickly check battery status, access messages and calls, and enable file transfers. These features were already available for Android users, and Microsoft is now extending them to iOS devices. Following are the some of the important points:-

You can easily share files and check messages, battery level, and your device's connectivity status from a Windows 11 PC.

iPhone users can connect devices to Windows PCs through new Phone Link features which are available directly in the Windows 11 Start menu.

The Start menu feature is currently only available to Windows Insider users, but it will get a wider release in the near future.

At launch, the phone connectivity feature only worked with Android devices, but features slowly made their way to Apple's iPhone, including the ability to use iMessage from your PC through a clever Bluetooth feature. Now, according to a recent report, iPhone users can access their connected smartphone directly from Windows 11's Start menu, making the feature far more convenient. The new iPhone integration appears in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 4805 or higher, offering a more seamless experience for Apple users within the Windows ecosystem. Phone Link version 1.24121.30.0 or later ensures seamless connectivity between iPhones and Windows PCs. Users must have a PC with Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) capabilities and an active Microsoft account to use this feature. You'll also be able to check your messages and calls from the Start menu. After you've connected your iPhone to your Windows PC, you can access features like viewing messages and calls, checking your iPhone's battery level and connectivity status and more, Microsoft claims. You can even easily move files between your iPhone and Windows device through a drag-and-drop interface and the conveniently located Send Files button.

"This seamless integration allows iPhone users to enjoy the same benefits as Android users, including the ability to view the phone's battery status and connectivity, ability to access messages and calls, and keeping track of the latest activities, all conveniently integrated into the Start menu," writes Microsoft. Currently, this iPhone integration is rolling out gradually to Insiders, but Microsoft is expected to expand it to regular Windows 11 builds in the coming months. There is no set launch date for the feature as of yet, but it should not be long before it reaches the stable build of Windows 11. It is unclear if the feature will reach Windows 10 users or not. This would be very useful for some people, especially those who use their iPhone a lot for work. If you're an iPhone user who spends most of your time on a Windows device, this likely sounds great. It's important to point out that there will likely be limits on what Phone Link is capable of with an iPhone when it comes to file sharing. While much of Phone Link's functionality has been available to Android users for several months, this is the first time iPhone connectivity has been available directly in Windows 11's Start menu. Phone Link's iPhone integration is currently available to Windows Insider users and will likely get a wider release in the near future. As Windows continues evolving, this improvement will offer a more unified experience across devices, making it easier for iPhone users to stay connected while working on their PCs.

Farewell to the hydrogen engine

 The water engine is here to stay, it breaks performance records    

Water engine on the move for the first time in history, better than hydrogen and breaks power records. Leaving out conventional hydrogen in a context of energy transition is difficult, but there is a water engine that has succeeded (at least partially). It breaks power records. The car with two H engines was amazing, but what is coming next is no slouch either. In the context of the decarbonisation of the economy that we are going through, H has become a resounding protagonist. Scientists discover “dark oxygen” in the ocean, a discovery that could change our relationship with the planet, and it’s not a good one. The automotive world never stands still, we already know that, but are we facing a new revolution? More and more engineers and scientists are turning to find realistic alternatives to fossil fuels, and now, they are challenging everything we know.

The production of H for energy purposes is a topic of global interest. In fact, in recent years there has been a lot of talk about green H as a strong energy bet. Investment in its production is increasing globally. In the case of Spain, for example, 20% of the world’s new H projects were cornered during the first quarter of 2022. For years, hydrogen has been presented as the most viable option for this energy transition (although many users consider it to be more expensive than traditional fuels), but now, a water-based technology is stealing the show. A hydrogen combustion engine with water injection has managed to break power records and demonstrate that it is possible to overcome many of the limitations that this type of technology had until now. Is this the future of cars? That's the main question under consideration. According to Wood Mackenzie data, by the end of 2022, projects linked to this element raised their production by a total of 11.1 million tons per year. What does this water engine have to knock out such a widespread form of energy? Hydrogen has been a trending topic for some time, and in recent years, the so-called green hydrogen has started to sound louder than ever. More and more countries are investing in its development, betting on a cleaner energy model. Let’s explain this invention, and it is that, this engine does not eliminate hydrogen, but makes it more efficient, because by injecting water the combustion is better controlled.

The company behind this innovation is AVL Racetech, an Austrian firm that has been developing engines for racing cars for years. Together with the engineers from the HUMDA laboratory (in Hungary) they have achieved what seemed impossible: a hydrogen combustion engine capable of generating 410 horsepower with only two litters of displacement!! A record that no one expected, but everyone wants. It does not reject hydrogen altogether, but uses it to its advantage. The Austrian company AVL Racetech invention that demonstrates that this type of model can boast high performance and be used as an alternative to electric vehicles. In addition, it has potential for use in racing cars. It has appeared as a result of the union of engineers from AVL Racetech and the HUMDA laboratory in Hungary. Its innovative hydrogen combustion engine has a new feature that makes it special: a water injection system. With this addition, the power problem traditionally associated with this type of engine is solved. The secret of the engine is in the Port Fuel Injection (PFI) technology, a system that injects water into the engine’s air intake. And what does this achieve? It prevents premature ignition (which is often a problem in hydrogen engines). So, in general terms, this new technology improves performance, reduces the risk of overheating and makes the engine’s lifespan longer, such an incredible creation. The Port Fuel Injection or PFI inserts traditional water into the engine’s air intake system, which prevents premature ignition that could damage the part and achieves stoichiometric combustion. Translated, this means that the resulting proportions of air and fuel are more or less fixed. According to AVL engineers, this system can reach an engine speed of 500 Nm between 3,000 and 4,000 rpm, with a power density of 205 horsepower per litre as if we were talking about sports cars!

This, the company explains, highlights the potential disadvantages of lean-burn engines. The result of this extensive work has been a two-liter hydrogen engine that produces 410 hp and 500 Newton-meters of torque between 3,000 and 4,000 revolutions per minute, achieving a specific power density of approximately 205 hp per liter (150 kW per liter). AVL has tested its hydrogen engine and has ensured that it is powerful enough to compete in high-level races. Ellen Lohr, Motorsport Director at AVL and former professional driver, makes it clear: testing has shown that this engine can be very competitive and can keep up with the competition! AVL guarantees, based on actual tests, that the engine will be able to compete in top-level motor racing. “The results obtained by our H2 racing engine confirm that we are able to offer an extremely competitive package with this technology,” says Ellen Lohr. She also warns that the company’s goal is to bring motorsport closer to sustainability. As you will know, if you are passionate about motorsports, it is in motor racing where the technologies that are later transferred to the street are born. Le Mans, Formula 1 and other categories are the perfect example of “alchemy”, and all the innovations that are carried out on the tracks end up being transferred to our roads and highways. Hydrogen combustion engines are good for much more than racing. They can also help smooth the transition to zero-emission vehicles. In this way, the simplest and most abundant chemical element on Earth takes another step into the automotive world. Logic also leads us to think that there are many companies interested in transferring sustainability to racing, fighting to ensure that power and excitement are not lost in them. 

What will this creation bring? We don’t know, for now, it seems that it could be a potential fighter against traditional combustion vehicles, and the race towards zero emissions has now become much more interesting! Who would have told us a few years ago that we would be waiting to see novelties with engines that run on water and hydrogen? Those who have always believed in the potential of hydrogen see the water engine as a symbol of victory. It displaces the conception of H in vehicles that we have had up to now. If you’re fascinated by the H-range, you can’t miss what’s happening on the highways, the first H-roads are coming!
