For the 200th Classic Kit, Andrea Sella celebrates a crucial efficiency improvement for motors
I’m supposed to be a chemist. Yet over the past year I have found myself spending more and more time travelling down a rabbit hole of electrical engineering and building services. The reason is climate change. The cataclysmic fires of the Greek islands, Siberia and Canada or the devastating rains that have engulfed Brazil, Kenya and Papua New Guinea, just in the last year, may seem far away. But the systemic nature of the climate system means that the reality is that no one is safe. Sooner or later all of us will pay its price.
