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 Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Cars Introduction to Electric Cars An electric car is a vehicle which is driven by electric engines. The engines use electrical energy which is usually stored in batteries. Electric car is a variation of electric vehicle (EV). EV speaks of any vehicles which are propelled by electric engines. “Electric car” is a general term for high-speed vehicles which are powered by electricity. In the United States‚ low-speed vehicles which are powered by electricity

The Future Is Electric‚ Not Oil-powered Cars Electric vehicles are a topic of great importance to the future of GM … and to the future of our country for that matter.. Over the last day and half‚ you’ve heard a number of interesting perspectives about how to address energy independence and climate change … and there are some great vehicles on display here that contribute to the solution to those issues. I’d like to talk about General Motors’ vision … and why we are also inspired to help

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

74 CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION MANAGEMENT Case Study: Jack Welch’s Creative Revolutionary Transformation of General Electric and the Thermidorean Reaction (1981–2004) Pier A. Abetti This case study draws a parallel between the French Revolution and the GE ‘revolution’‚ according to three waves of transformation. We discuss the ‘hard’ effects on GE employees (strategy‚ structure‚ employment‚ rewards) and the ‘soft’ effects (culture‚ work climate‚ indoctrination). In parallel with the French

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

issue of electric car has been arising nowadays. But many of us never really find a true example of the uses of electric cars in everyday life. From the article "Electrical Engineering"‚ an Australian built his own electric car from a second hand Porsche. The article proves that having a private electric cars is no longer a dream. But do all people know the good things and the bad things about having a private electric car? Now‚ what electric vehicles really are? Simply put‚ electric vehicles

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

1 ELECTRIC MOTORS I. Introduction Electric motors are considered to be important mechanical devices. They usually convert the electrical energy coming from the mechanical device into its kinetic energy to make it work (Petingco and Resurreccion‚ 2011). In this exercise‚ the students were tasked to use an example of an electric motor‚ identify its parts‚ and make it work. All electrical motors are equipped with stator and rotor. Stator is known as the stationary part of an electric motor
