Osman> When thinking about ethics, technology is often only mentioned as the source of our problems, not as a potential solution to our moral dilemmas. When thinking about technology, ethics is often only mentioned as a constraint on developments, not as a source and spring of innovation. In this paper, we argue that ethics can be the source of technological development rather than just a constraint and technological progress can create moral progress rather than just moral problems.PDF: <a href="https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11948-011-9277-z.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11948-011-9277-z.pdf</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/engineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#engineering</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ethics</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#technology</a>

The National <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Engineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Engineering</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Laboratory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Laboratory</a> (NEL) at East Kilbride developed a hydrostatic drive system, trialled on LT’s DM 1787 in 1976. This system used the engine to power a fluid pump, sending high-pressure oil to wheel-mounted motors. Although initially less efficient than conventional drives, research aimed to improve efficiency and recover braking energy via hydraulic accumulators, thereby reducing brake wear. Earlier attempts at energy storage, such as flywheels, had proved impractical. LT valued the hydrostatic drive for allowing flexible engine placement under the stairs, avoiding the unreliable rear-engine layouts, as well as providing smoother rides and better comfort. A model of NEL’s bus in LT red, featuring engine access grilles, was exhibited at Battersea Park, reflecting XRM design concepts.
