Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Vehicles Almost all households in this world uses a gas powered vehicles which causes the greenhouse effect or more known as the global warming. The global warming itself is caused by the emission of the gas powered vehicles. To prevent this‚ technologists have invented a vehicle that uses electricity. Although there are many benefits‚ in a developing countries‚ owning and using an electric car results in having both advantages and also disadvantages.

Chapter 1 The History of Electric Transformer INTRODUCTION: Transformer is a device that transfers electric energy from one circuit to another‚ usually with a change in voltage. Transformers work only with a varying electric current‚ such as alternating current (AC). Transformers are important in the distribution of electric power. They raise the voltage of the electricity generated at a power plant to the high levels needed to transmit the electricity efficiently. Other transformers

In electricity generation‚ an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces electrons in the windings to flow through the external electrical circuit. It is somewhat analogous to a water pump‚ which creates a flow of water but does not create the water inside. The source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine‚ water falling through a turbine or waterwheel‚ an internal combustion engine‚ a wind turbine‚ a hand crank

first applications of electricity was the first incandescent light bulb in around 1870. The electric overhaul of society obviously brought many fresh new dangers with it‚ but it eliminated some of the old ones‚ like the naked flames of gas lighting that was commonly used in homes and factories then. The Joule heating effect that can be found in light bulbs is also present in electric heating. Electric heating has been thought of as wasteful in the past because in order to create that heat energy

The Electric Car has a history but is there a future in the UK or will there be a better option? The invention of the first Electric Car was in 1830 but was not perfected until the creation of rechargeable batteries in 1859. By 1912 50 companies were producing 34‚000 electric cars. Once the development of the electric starting motor occurred and the price of fuel was cheap then the electric cars industry vanished. The oil crisis in the 1970’s caused some re-emergence of electric cars but the

Lincoln Electric 1. Problem The problem foe Lincoln Electric is that they are having less than expected revenues from their overseas venture. Their management system worked so well in their original facility in Ohio. They had such high confidence in the way they made their products there that they thought that if they do what they did in another country‚ they will reap the same benefits. When they applied the same management principles in other countries‚ they had net losses that are so high

I. Physical Features Electric eels are not really eels‚ they are actually ostariophysians‚ but have a strong physical resemblance to true eels. . An electric eel is mostly tail. The internal organs are compressed into the anterior (front) 1/5th of the body‚ and the rest of the fish consists of the long‚ electricity-producing tail. The tail contains the electric organs: Sachs’ organ‚ Hunter’s organ‚ and main organ. Extending down the entire tail region is an elongated anal fin. There are no dorsal

pushed away‚ or repelled‚ each other. The evidence showed that electric force made matter either attract or repel other matter. Electric force is caused by electric charge. Electric charge is a property of the bits of matter within atoms. Electric force can cause matter to attract or repel because there are two kinds of charge – positive and negative charge. The effects of electric force can be summarized as the law of electric charge: Pieces of matter with the same kind of charge repel

organizational structure do you believe is being used to produce Detroit Electric vehicles? Detroit Electric concentrates theirs efforts on research and development of the motor‚ vehicle design‚ marketing and distribution. The company does not produce cars; the actual manufacturing of cars is outsourced. From the case I conclude that technology design is the core business of Detroit Electric. Technology changes rapidly and therefore Detroit Electric has to be flexible in conditions of change and uncertainty
