EMC

Company: HEAD

HEAD presents its flagship technology: EMC - ENERGY MANAGEMENT CIRCUIT. Found in the front and rear, EMC converts kinetic energy into electrical energy which is dissipated via resistors, giving the skis much more stability. Carving, gliding and impacts cause the ski to bend and vibrate. The ceramic piezoelectric element in the EMC converts this kinetic energy into electrical energy. Electricity generated from the piezoelectric plate passes through a circuit consisting of a resistor and a Graphene infused carbon layer embedded in the construction of the ski. The circuit harnesses the electrical energy and filters out negative vibrations, harmonising the ski. Fewer vibrations entail greater stability and a better grip for the skier.
