Everything has a trade-off and opportunity cost. Electric cars are no exception. The first thing that caught my attention was the mileage. In the article and video‚ Rick Peters’ electric car only goes 25 miles per hour. You cannot get very far with that‚ especially since the farthest you can go in it is 30 miles per charge. I drive a Toyota Camry‚ and I drive 9.2 miles every day to school. It takes me 12-15 minutes to drive to school. If you ignore the speed limit on the roads (it is 55 mph)‚ it

Gas Laws Lab Introduction: The four basic physical properties of a gas sample are pressure‚ volume‚ temperature‚ and number of moles. The volume simply indicates the volume of the container since a gas will take up all space available to it. The temperature indicates the average kinetic energy of the gas particles. For gases‚ the temperature must be converted to the Kelvin unit. The pressure of the gas indicates the number of collisions with each other and the wall of the container. The number

Gas exchange is the movement of respiratory gases across a membrane. It is the delivery of oxygen to the body‚ and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the body .The reason why gas exchange takes place because oxygen is one of the most essential requirements of life‚ without which organisms on Earth would not survive. Living organisms generate energy from food through the process of respiration. This allows humans and other organisms to perform their daily tasks. Oxygen is used in mitochondria

the EV-1 electric car in California and Arizona. Hundreds of the electric cars were soon on the road. Then they all disappeared. The mystery behind their disappearance is the subject of the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?" Electric vehicles had many advantages over their competitors in the early 1900s. They did not have the vibration‚ smell‚ and noise associated with gasoline cars. Changing gears on gasoline cars was the most difficult part of driving‚ while electric vehicles did not require

Hybrid and Electric cars: Hybrid and electric vehicle system components may include a battery for energy storage‚ an electric motor for propulsion‚ a generator‚ a mechanical transmission and a power control system. These components are brought together in different ways by different systems. Depending on these factors we can classify the electric car segment into 4 major parts: Hybrid Electric Vehicle Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Extended-Range Electric Vehicle Battery Electric Vehicle.

only did poisonous gas change the experiences of war‚ but also the type of warfare. Instead of riding around on horses freely‚ soldiers had to use protection in order to evade the deadly chemicals. So‚ quickly‚ both sides developed gas masks. At first‚ soldiers held chemically treated cotton pads over their noses and mouths. Later they wore fabric face masks soaked in chemicals‚ and finally soldiers on both sides wore respirators with charcoal filters.("Technology.") These gas masks were the new

Who Killed the Electric Car? is presented as a whodone- it mystery. Staying true to this genre‚ the film opens with necessary background information‚ describes the crime committed‚ answering all of the what‚ where‚ and when questions‚ and then in the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gathers the suspects for close scrutiny‚ coming to a conclusion on the guilt or innocence of each. Opening with a bit of automotive history that establishes the electric car as a competitive alternative to the
