In this essay I am going to be telling you about to what extent electric cars solve the fuel crisis. The critical steps are: 1. Evolve autos from gasoline/diesel to hybrid to plug-in hybrid. 2. Develop a battery that can run 200 miles on a 10-minute recharge. 3. Strengthen Briton’s electrical distribution system. 4. Recharge cars in garages‚ public places and service stations. 5. Build nuclear power plants to enlarge the supply of electricity. 6. Use all alternate sources of energy‚ i.e. wind

Company Analysis of General Electric Running a company often centers on the idea of considering both positive and negative factors in order to then hand down executive decisions accordingly. To best understand the strengths and weakness of any given company‚ one must understand its base operations and the scope of industry in which the firm exists. In doing so‚ one would have a bigger picture of how the company operates and how success has been fostered in‚ as well as highlight in areas in which

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.

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

Electric Shock Anyone What Is This Module About? Nowadays‚ electrical appliances are commonly seen in every household. In your home‚ you probably have a television set‚ a radio‚ a karaoke player‚ a VCD player and other electrical appliances. But have you ever wondered how these appliances work? All of these need electricity to work. In this module‚ you will be introduced to the basic concepts of electricity. You will also learn about its uses. After going through the module‚ you should be able

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
