To further reduce weight and improve energy density, several companies are developing thin lead film electrodes in a spiral-wound construction with glass fiber separators. Already on the market for cordless electric tools, this battery technology may eventually be used in electric vehicles. 

As one of thousands of examples, in the fall of 1987, Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp. found itself on the short end of the age-old supply-and-demand equation. That is, it was unable to keep up with demand for its heavy-duty electric power tools. The problem was that their machining operations could not turn out...

Portable fuel-cell systems are systems that produce electricity for devices with a performance ranging from several watts to 10 kilowatts. The heat produced in the process is a by-product that is normally not used. The system has, therefore, to be cooled down by fans or cooling surfaces, etc. A wide range of applications is possible for fuel cells from small electronic devices like camcorders, mobile phones, laptops, etc. to electric tools, back-up systems, or power generation on boats or caravans.

This directive accompanies directive 2002/96/EC, also known as WEEE, which addresses the handling of wastes from electrical and electronic wastes. These wastes cover a wide range of electrical and electronic products from household appliances such as refrigerators, freezers and microwaves to personal computers, cell phones to electrical toys, medical devices and electrical tools. As specified in Article 4 (1) of directive 2002/95/EC the following substances which are contained in all of the defined product groups have to be substituted from lJuly 2006on ...

Domestic sales for 1998 amounted to 316 million cells, i.e. 21% of total. Table 3.4 shows the sales ratios by applications. In the field of security and emergency, only NiCd batteries were sold. However, in the fields of offiee equipment and communications, the Li-ion battery ratio was 69% and 53%, respectively. In the fields of home appliances, electric tools toys and retail, the NiCd battery ratio was 51%, 84% and 63%, respectively. A ratio of 37% for NiMH batteries was found in retail (replacement). This seems to come from its use as the main power source for digital cameras.

Another problem is the cost of the fuel - sodium borohydride costs 55/kg. The fuel contribution to the cost of electricity (COE) for the DBEC will be 9.7/kWh, even if the operating voltage of the DBFC can reach 1.0 V. It is 100 times that of the hydrogen gas. At present it is very difficult to apply the DBEC to high power applications such as a car or a home power generator. However, it is very possible that DBFCs could be used in place of batteries in low power applications such as primary batteries or secondary batteries for notebook computers, cordless electric tools and so on because the COE for batteries is rather high. For example, the COE for an alkaline primary battery is up to 450/kWh.

Powered hand tools can be electric or air-operated. In general, electric tools are heavier than the equivalent air tool, due to their built-in motor, e.g. electric screwdrivers weigh 2 kg while an equivalent air-operated screwdriver weighs 0.9 kg. The cost of powered tools is much greater than the equivalent hand tools and must be taken into account when a choice has to be made. 

Air-operated tools can be safely used in most work conditions, while electrical tools should not be used in conditions which are wet or damp or where there is a risk of fire or explosion, such as in flammable or dusty atmospheres. A selection of air-operated tools is shown in Fig. 2.21. 

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive applies to items such as household appliances, IT and telecommunications equipment, electrical tools, medical devices, monitoring and control instruments, toys, and lighting equipment. 

This section presents three Logical (Bowtie) models developed for Contact with electricity - high voltage cables , Contact with electricity- electrical work and Contact with electricity - tool . It is based on electrical accidents which have occurred in the Netherlands but also and on information about safety rules concerning work with electricity published by NIOSH (1995, 2002).

In case of work with electrical tools, energised parts should be covered, to prevent a person from physical contact with them. This barrier is defined as having two states PSBl (-F) Exposed active parts do not exist PSBl (—) Exposed active parts exist. Success means that proper covering of live parts of tools is performed and therefore there are no active parts. Failure... 

The condition of an electrical tool affects its safety. This barrier is defined as having two states PSB6 (4-) Proper PSB6 (—) Improper. Success means that the tool and its wires is in a good condition, while failure means that it is in a substandard condition.

Contact with electricity-electrical work has the higher risk for recoverable and permanent injury 8.01 X 10 /hr and 2.78 x 10 /hr respectively, while contact with electricity-high voltage cables has the higher fatality risk 1.91 x 10 /hr of exposure. The bowtie contact with electricity- tool has the lowest risk, in all three consequences.
