the third time in her career The semi-final was held at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne and although the match was close throughout the match who showed his concentration at the end of the match Erik Balenciaga scored the most points in the team with six goals while Nikolaaj Enderleit and Timo Castening scored five goals each Goalkeeper Nebojsa Simic led the victory with 11 saves HBW Ballingen-Wailstetten fought hard with Robert Timmermeister and Sasha Pfattheicher scoring six goals each and Jerome Müller scoring four while goalkeeper Mateusz Kornecki made 10 saves Ballingen took the lead from 13-10 with a fighting spirit and organization that was not like a second division team He led the atmosphere with goalkeeper Mateusz Kornetsky's good defense and stable defense Meljung changed the trend with goalkeeper Nevosha Simic's three consecutive saves David Mandic scored a comeback goal with a rotating shot and Meljungen led 15-14 to finish the first half Meljungen gradually widened the gap with a stable offense and defense operation Dainis Kristofans and Eric Balenciaga attacked defensive gaps at every critical moment and Timo Castening and Jonathan Svensson added a score to spread the score to 26-19 around the 50th minute Ballingen trailed 26-22 with back-to-back goals from Sasha Pfattheicher but Ian Barruffet made it 29-24 with a 7-meter shot to close the match virtually but Meljungen's organizational power and concentration were one-up Roberto Garcia Parrondo also told the German Handball Association (DHB) The game against them required more than 100 percent of concentration There have been a lot of difficulties over the past two months they have scored the same points as Berlin they have also advanced to the quarterfinals of the European League

strip in the German town of Balingen will host the world’s first public trial of “wireless charging” Its aim will be to show that a technology long regarded as ambitious and futuristic can now work in the real world already offer vehicles with pads that allow them to recharge when parked But the potential for refuelling batteries while driving — known as dynamic charging — has widespread implications for the industry Chief among these is reducing the size of the batteries needed in vehicles to avoid dreaded “range anxiety” — which remains one of the greatest barriers to widespread electric vehicle adoption Carmakers and industry lobby groups have been warning that far too few charging points are being put in to serve the expected number of electric vehicles on the roads They have also expressed concern about a potential shortage of battery materials by analysts believe that dynamic charging — which allows vehicles to carry much smaller batteries — would enable limited resources to be used across more vehicles “The aim of this project is not only to open up wireless charging to the public in Germany,” says Andreas Wendt chief executive of the German arm of Electreon an Israeli group that provides the charging system “Other significant aspects include the development and use of a tool that will assist public transportation planners in where to install the inductive infrastructure for a specific town or region.” and easy to deploy wireless dynamic charging is,” Wendt adds “We hope this is the start of many more projects on public and private roads in Germany.” As vehicle manufacturers ramp up their production of battery models to meet tightening emissions regulations dynamic charging — if proven to work at scale and cost effectively — therefore offers a solution to the lack of static charging points “A wireless in-road charging system will be revolutionary for EVs by potentially extending an EV’s battery charge without having to stop and plug in,” argues Michele Mueller from Michigan’s Department of Transportation which is also trialling the technology this year These first road trials largely feature buses — which run on fixed routes making them easier to control — as well as some taxis which can charge from pads placed under ranks at airports or train stations “The adoption of this technology will be in a fleet because it’s exponentially harder when you go to private cars,” explains Michael Hurwitz future mobility specialist at professional services firm PA Consulting Hurwitz was previously head of innovation at Transport for London the local government body responsible for most of the transport network in the UK capital A wireless in-road charging system will be revolutionary for EVs by potentially extending an EV’s battery charge without having to stop and plug in then the battery size you need and the very significant cost of the vehicle goes down.” But there are still significant hurdles for the technology to clear before it is proven allowing rival vehicle models to charge on the same system to avoid duplicating the technology Then there is the wider challenge of getting highway operators to co-ordinate with energy grids Hurwitz suggests the best chance for the technology is to have it “wrapped into the way we build and maintain roads both commercially and operationally — if any highways are going to make it work the need for a high-speed electricity connection can make achieving widespread on-the-road charging too difficult the UK’s second largest regional bus operator which is in the process of electrifying its fleet looked at wireless charging it concluded the project was too expensive because of the need to feed power to its many rural bus stops “It’s all about the power supply,” says Garry Birmingham “Some bus stops don’t even have a light in them.” The company was quoted £70,000 for each ground-based charging pad the technology is expected to make some inroads this decade Technology research group IDTechEx predicts there will be around 700,000 wirelessly charged vehicles owned by premium car drivers in 2032 “because of the added convenience of not having to plug in” It expects about 180,000 of these to be electric delivery vans as “limited space in depots will need non-intrusive wireless solutions so that vans can be charged and loaded with cargo at the same time.” IDTechEx also says: “Transit buses are also good candidates for adoption but are much smaller in unit volume.”  Carmakers are already dipping their toes into the technology Fiat owner Stellantis has been testing dynamic charging on a private track since 2021 while Volvo Cars last year announced it will trial wireless charging on its XC40 electric models who was head of research and development at Volvo at the time of the announcement said: “Testing new charging technologies together with selected partners is a good way to evaluate alternative charging options for our future cars.” HBW Balingen-Weilstetten beat German handball powerhouse Rhein-Neckar Löwen to rank third in the thrilling DHB Cup HBW Ballingen-Wailstetten won the men's third and fourth place match of the 2024/25 DHB Cup at Lanzess Arena in Cologne HBW Ballingen became the first second division team in the history of the Final Four to win the main tournament stage It was a historic moment in 27 years since HSG Dutenhofen/Münchholzhausen in 1997 when a second-tier team made a meaningful achievement in the final round HBW Ballingen led the attack with Jerome Müller scoring seven goals while Elias Fügel and captain Tobias Heinzelmann added six goals each but they secured a one-goal victory after a fierce match Line Necare Löfven fought back with nine goals by Jon Lindenchrone Andersen with two goalkeepers Mikael Appelgren making seven saves and David Späth making six Ballingen led the game from the beginning with a 6-3 followed up to 11-9 with Lindenkrone's performance but Sasha Pfattheicher's fastball and Müller's mid-range shot widened the gap again to 19-14 The first half ended with Ballingen leading 19-15 Fugel and Heinzel's back-to-back goals widened the gap to 22-16 left the field with a third two-minute exit amid the bad news of three people being sent off at the same time Line Necar Loeben scored seven goals in a row to turn the game around 25-24 Even goalkeeper Bendek Nagy collapsed due to injury the players gathered their minds and regained the flow of the game with Bellingen turning back 30-29 and 28 seconds before the end Jerome Müller made it 32-30 with his seventh score of the day but Ballingen calmly spent the rest of his time to complete a thrilling victory I'm really thrilled to experience victory on this stage," HBW Ballingen coach Matthias Flohr told the Bundesliga I am grateful that the players kept their promises until the end and I am honored to give big gifts to the fans," he said I can't think of the league because I'm overwhelmed right now but I want to continue today's energy to tomorrow," he said HBW Ballingen even secured an automatic berth to the round of 16 at the DHB Cup in the 2025/26 season signaling an advantageous start to the next season Archive Architecture dynamic wireless charging technology for electric vehicles is being tested in practice for the first time in Germany The leading actor of the pilot project is a shuttle bus for the Garden Show 2023 which is to charge its vehicle battery while driving ++ This article has been updated; please continue reading below which specialises in inductive charging of e-vehicles will set up an initially 400-metre-long Electric Road System (ERS) under the asphalt for the project as well as two inductive stationary charging stations it is planned to extend the appropriately prepared road section to one kilometre the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Stadtwerke Balingen The entire project is also under the auspices of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and operates under the title ELINA (Einsatz dynamischer Ladeinfrastruktur im ÖPNV) The shuttle bus route for the Garden Show leads from the car park on the exhibition grounds to the city hall bus stop the dynamic charging process will take place in Wilhelmstraße the magnetic coils are inserted under the roadway high-frequency magnetic fields are generated These induce an electric current in receiver coils on the bus floor which is used to charge the battery,” EnBW describes the charging process Inductive stops are also planned at the final stops city hall ‘Stadthalle’ and the exhibition centre ‘Messegelände’ – but the bus will charge there while stationary those responsible for the project want to equip other routes in the Heimlichenwasen and front of the Lauwasen school with magnetic coils – thus extending the Electric Road System to one kilometre another inductive stop is to be set up in the bus depot thus developing the project into regular service While ElectReon provides its Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer (DWPT) technology KIT contributes a planning tool that optimally coordinates the route of the line and the locations of the charging stations “The software combines traffic modelling vehicle simulation and optimisation of the charging infrastructure,” specifies Markus Tesar from KIT “Our goal in the course of the ELINA project is to validate the new planning tool with data from real operations in Balingen.” Stadtwerke Balingen is taking care of the operation of the electric bus and EnBW is managing the project and setting up and operating the charging infrastructure “The project in Balingen shows how innovatively and consistently we are promoting e-mobility in Germany We have a holistic approach and want to make wireless charging technically fit for German public transport and the general public of the opportunities,” emphasises Alexander Pöllauer from EnBW’s Research and Development division this is not the first pilot test of DWPT technology in Germany The Balingen project follows a successful pilot project with Electreon technology in the city of Karlsruhe in cooperation with EnBW; the company says in its statement: “An electrified road was installed at the EnBW training centre which supplies a public bus with electricity at peak times ElectReon and the road construction company Eurovia are planning another project in Germany it is a project funded by the German government called E|MPOWER This project started in July 2022 and aimed to integrate ElectReon’s technology on a one-kilometre motorway section in northern Bavaria Electreon says it will receive up to 3.2 million euros for its part in the project With the opening of the Garden Show in Balingen an electric shuttle bus has hit the paths and charges inductively while in motion and waiting at stops induction coils can now be found along a 400-metre stretch of Wilhelmstraße described above With the wireless charging systems at the two stops more than 240 magnetic coils were installed during construction The next stage will see a second induction track being laid measuring around 600 metres bringing the total length to one kilometre The route will be activated at the end of the Garden Show The electric bus will serve regular public transport on several Balingen routes With reporting by Cora Werwitzke and Sebastian

Moxon Architects Wins Design Competition for Sustainable Timber Bridge for BalingenNov 28, 2019 6:23 pm ESTMoxon Architects has won an invited competition for a pedestrian and cycle bridge for the town of Balingen in southern Germany Created in collaboration with timber bridge engineering specialist Ingenieurbüro Miebach the proposal embodies Balingen's ambitious dual commitment to design excellence and a sustainable future and low-maintenance bridge will feature a pair of structural timber beams spanning 40 meters over the River Eyach at an oblique angle cradling pedestrians and cyclists upon a 3.5m wide deck The two subtly angled and tapered beams are designed to flare outwards in plan as they approach either riverbank embracing the town's network of footpaths and cycle tracks The beams extend above the level of the deck to form the bridge's parapet sides - a necessity allowing the bridge to clear future predicted flood levels while enabling fully accessible gradients at either approach The outward leaning outer faces of the shaped glulam beams will be visible pedestrian facing surfaces will be clad in native timber slats with integrated lighting and handrails We look forward to working with a client who recognises the importance of sustainable infrastructure and a world-leading engineer fully committed to timber structures," commented Ezra Groskin "The new bridge will strengthen the footpath network in Balingen and contribute to responsible regeneration Furthermore we believe timber will continue to play a growing role in the UK's built environment and so are excited to bring the experience and knowledge gained through this Euorpean collaboration home where it will inform our approach to designing both bridges and buildings in this country." -1===document.cookie.indexOf("jvv=1")&&((adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).requestNonPersonalizedAds=1);(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});Images: Courtesy of Moxon

Businesswire Germany’s first-ever public wireless road project will use technology from a top supplier of wireless and in-road wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging for commercial and passenger EVs The initiative will charge an electric bus that is traveling to the city Electreon, the chosen supplier is a major company that makes wireless charging solutions for electric vehicles (EVs) The company’s inductive technology has won awards and is one of the most eco-friendly This technology charges EVs dynamically (while they’re moving) and statically (while still) to reduce battery capacity needs On a charging as a service (CaaS) platform Electreon works with cities and fleet operators to make it possible for the public and self-driving fleets to be converted to electric vehicles at a low cost and without interruption In collaboration with EnBW the top German provider of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles Electreon will put a 0.62-mile (1-kilometer) Electric Road System (ERS) along a stretch of road The bus stops are used to decide where to put the two static charging stations The technology will be introduced in two stages in the city of Balingen The first phase will set up a 1,312-foot (400-meter) path with two static charging stations 1,969 feet (600 meters) will be added to the length of the electric road This plan comes after a successful pilot of Electreon’s technology in Karlsruhe An electrified road was built at the EnBW training facility which powers a nearby public bus during peak hours Electreon will get up to €3.2 million (roughly $3.4 million) for this project in Balingen to set up dynamic and static wireless charging infrastructure who oversees the EnBW research division project is looking forward to the timely implementation of the project and said and the general public of the opportunities” “As a leading provider and innovation driver in the field of charging infrastructure we are pleased to be part of this promising project with partners such as Electreon and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology,” he added “The aim of this project is not only to open up wireless charging to the public in Germany,” said Dr “Other significant aspects include the development and use of a tool that will assist public transportation planners in where to install the inductive infrastructure for a specific town or region We have already shown in our joint Karlsruhe project with EnBW how effective and easy to deploy wireless dynamic charging is We hope this is the start of many more projects on public and private roads in Germany,” Wendt said 0COMMENTABOUT THE AUTHORChristopher McFadden Christopher graduated from Cardiff University in 2004 with a Masters Degree in Geology he has worked exclusively within the Built

Schürfwunden aber schwere Verletzungen habe es noch nie gegeben dass die Strecke zwei Mal im Jahr in Schuss gebracht wird haben sich die zunächst privaten Macher der dort schon bestehenden Mountainbike-Gruppe im Skiverein angeschlossen Mit 20 Mann sind sie im Frühjahr und Herbst unterwegs Kuhlen mit von der Stadt gespendetem Schotter aufzufüllen und nach Schwachstellen auf dem Trail zu sehen Zwei Jahre Vorlauf und Planung sowie ein halbes Jahr Bauzeit brauchte es bis der erste Biker im Oktober 2015 auf die Strecke durfte der daraus eine Projektarbeit als Trainee beim Forstrevier machte Damals wurden alle privaten Waldbesitzer angeschrieben und darüber informiert dass sie nicht für Unfälle haftbar gemacht werden können ohnehin liegt der meiste Teil der Strecke im Stadtwald Mittlerweile "sehr gut" wird die Strecke laut Single angenommen In seiner Gruppe fährt ein 68-Jähriger mit Jeden Dienstag treffen er und seine Kollegen sich In Planung ist ein Jugendtraining für Kinder ab zwölf Jahren Schließlich ist der Trail weit und breit einzigartig Dass auf den von der ISBA gefertigten Schildern Lochen-Trail steht und nicht Fox-Trail wie es Single und seine Mitstreiter anfangs vorhatten der seine Firma nach dem Fuchs benannt hatte die Legende um den "Lochenfuchs" zählt nicht Jäger und das Wild kommen super mit- und nebeneinander klar Man muss zwei Mal hingucken, spätestens dann wird klar: Was da zu sehen ist, ist eine Waage. Seit dieser Woche ziert die Skulptur den Kreisverkehr zwischen der Friedrich- und der Bahnhofstraße in Balingen. Balingen. Geschaffen hat das Werk, wie gestern berichtet, der Solinger Kunstschmid, Michael Bauer-Brandes. Auftraggeber ist das Balinger Unternehmen Bizerba – das Kunstwerk ist, wie dessen Vorstandschef Andreas Wilhelm Kraut am Donnerstagabend sagte, ein Geschenk des Unternehmens an die Stadt. Es soll an die 150-jährige Verbundenheit Bizerbas mit Balingen erinnern – und jedermann die Bedeutung der Wägetechnik für die Stadt und die Region verdeutlichen. Für das Kunsthandwerk hat sich Bauer-Brandes die Neigungswaage von Philipp Matthäus Hahn vorgenommen, die den Grundstein für die Waagenindustrie in der Region legte. Er hat sie auseinandergenommen, in ihre Einzelteile zerlegt – und neu zusammengesetzt. Die Skulptur soll dauerhaft inmitten des Kreisverkehrs bleiben. Ein Statiker hat auch berechnet, was passieren würde, wenn einmal ein Auto dagegen fährt. "Aber das", so Andreas Kraut, "wird hoffentlich nie passieren."
