- Electric car charging points are an investment in the future (7)
Charging electric cars is currently not a viable service - stated the participants of the debate on "Elektromobilność i Energetyka", which took place during the XV Congress of the New Industry EXPO in Katowice. On the other hand, the opinions regarding the treatment of an electric car as a mobile energy store were diversified. the substantive partner of the debate was the Office of Technical Inspection.
- Electromobility - charging station security (9)
Electromobility is great. Such a thesis is guided by the majority of publications dedicated to electric cars and it is necessary to agree with their authors, because the arguments for its confirmation are actually a lot. The electric drive gives great dynamics especially at low speeds, and the acceleration at the level of 2-3 s to 100 km / h works on the imagination of drivers. The ecological nature of this branch of motorization, although sometimes contested, allows in practice at least for the exhaustion of air pollution from cities, and with the appropriate energy mix of the electricity generation system also for the improvement of air quality in general.
- Acoustic emission test of hydroaccumulators in wind power plants (12)

- Is there a new, post-carbon era ahead of us? (15)
Exhausting fossil energy sources pose great challenges for us. On the one hand, the energy security of our country, whose main energy carrier is still coal, on the other - modern RES technologies (renewable energy sources), which are a challenge for engineers, technical services and in the social dimension. A new landscape, often unknown effects of RES impact on the environment or their energy efficiency - these are just a few issues that arouse emotions. With all responsibility, however, it is possible to put forward a thesis that a new era is ahead of us, full of interesting challenges.

- Safe operation of conveyors in amusement parks - new regulations and UDT requirements (26)
In order to harmonize the requirements for increasing the operational safety of handling equipment, on December 6, 2018, a new ordinance of the Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology entered into force on technical conditions for technical supervision in the field of operation, repairs and modernization of handling equipment.
- NIS Directive and the Act on the National Cyber Security System - public entities, key services operators (31)
The Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2016/1148 on measures for a high common level of security of network and information systems in the Union, known as the NIS Directive, was published on 6 July 2016. The overriding objective of the Directive is to achieve a common high the level of security of network and information systems in order to improve the functioning of the internal market in the European Union. In pursuit of the above provisions, the NIS Directive sets out obligations for all Member States.
