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

THE RELATIONSHIP OF ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY AND ITS DISTANCE FROM THE CHARGED OPOINT PHYS-232 JIANSONG HE GROUP: Abstract This experiment was performed to find the electric field strength from different distance to the charged point. The field strength was determined statically‚ by measuring its electrical potential when subjected to loading‚ and dynamically‚ by measuring the electrical potential at different location on the conductive paper. The electrical potential was measured from three

MODELING OF ELECTRIC MACHINES FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS USING EFFICIENCY MAPS S. M. Lukic and A. Emado Illinois Institute of Technology Abstract: In most industrial applications of motor drives‚ motors operate at one or a few predefued operating points. However in propulsion applications‚ the motor is used over the entire torqudspeed range. Therefore‚ the motor has to be studied at all possible torqudspeed combinations within the motor operating envelope. Efficiency maps are a convenient way

Ten years ago our electric motor business was in real trouble. Low labor rates allowed the Eastern Bloc countries to sell standard motors at prices we were unable to match. We had become the high-cost producer in the industry. Consequently‚ we decided to change our strategy and become a specialty motor producer. Once we adopted our new strategy‚ we discovered that while our existing cost system was adequate for costing standard motors‚ it was giving us inaccurate information when we used it to
