production side emissions of electric cars with this graph. Here we see the higher amount of emissions per electric car‚ although this can naturally be compensated during the lower emissions during the life-cycle of this car. To note that in case the battery has to be replaced during the life-time of the vehicle‚ the amount will increase to 12‚5t of CO2 per car‚ so more than the double of a gasoline car. 2.2 Source of energy. Here we get to one of the biggest problems of electrics cars: the way we charge

structures 1. This drill contains an electric motor. The diagram below shows the main parts of an electric motor. The carbon contacts are made of graphite. Springs push the contacts against the copper ring. The contacts conduct electricity to the copper ring. The copper ring rotates rapidly but does not stick or become worn because the graphite is soft and slippery. Graphite has properties which are ideal for making the contacts in an electric motor. Explain‚ in terms of structure and

In 1996‚ one car stood out above the rest. With its zero emissions and sporty‚ sleek design‚ the General Motors EV-1 was unstoppable. This car ran entirely without gas or oil of any kind. It ran only on electric power which made it very eco-friendly. It was built to comply with California’s zero emissions vehicle mandate that stated if auto makers wanted to sell cars in California some of those cars would have to be no exhaust

Abstract I would like to convey that with the help of this project I got the opportunity to understand a subject I was interested in. I came to know about how the electric cars are marketed in different parts of the world according to their needs. I also came across a point where I understood the advantages and disadvantages of electric cars over our regular petrol or diesel injected cars. I came to know about its relation with nature by saving the environment compared to our usual cars and also learned

In 1996‚ electric cars began to appear on roads all over California. They were quiet and fast‚ produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline........... Ten years later‚ these futuristic cars were almost completely gone." ’Who Killed the Electric Car’ is a documentary which unfolds a complex set of events around the development and demise of the modern electric car. The story stems from California from the early 1990s to 2006. Chris Paine‚ the film maker has woven together interviews and archival

HOW AN ELECTRIC GENERATOR WORKS Electrical generators by definition are devices that convert mechanical energy into electric energy. The mechanical energy in turn is produced from chemical or nuclear energy in various types of fuel‚ or obtained from renewable sources such as wind or falling water. Steam turbines‚ internal-combustion engines‚ gas combustion turbines‚ electric motors‚ water and wind turbines are the common methods to supply the mechanical energy for such devices. Generators

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 Function of an Electric Citrus Juicer Amanda M Sparboe Montana Tech of the University of Montana WRIT 121-03 Professor Wick March 8‚ 2013 Introduction The following document is a full description of the basic function of an electric citrus juicer. There are many types of juicers‚ some much more complex than others. However‚ an electric citrus juicer is a more basic type of juicer composing of only seven simple parts. These parts all work together in a basic orderly manner

CHAPTER - 13 MAGNETIC EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC CURRENT 1) Magnetic field and Field lines:- a) Magnetic field :- The region around a magnet where the force of attraction or repulsion can be detected is called magnetic field. Magnetic field around a magnet can be detected by using a magnetic compass. b) Magnetic field lines:- Magnetic field lines are the paths around a magnet along which the north pole of a magnetic compass needle tends to move. The magnetic field lines around

getting frustrated from the electric shocks. This experiment can be improved to meet scientific standard by‚ first giving honest feedback to the participants. So that the data would be accurate‚ and the response wouldn’t be build just on frustration. Second‚ if I were doing this study‚ my hypothesis would be that the electric shocks from incorrect answers would actually cause the participants to try hader‚ and get more of their answers correct. The electric shocks would serve as a positive
