GENERAL FEEDBACK ON BACK BAY BATTERY SIMULATION Excerpts from the Simulation’s Teaching Note The Division Manager’s Dilemma The Division Manager at Back Bay Battery faces the classic innovator’s dilemma. While Back Bay has a successful business that is generating reasonable profits in NiMH batteries‚ a new technology in the form of ultracapacitors looms on the horizon. For its existing customers‚ ultracapacitors are a long way from meeting current customer

Study The researcher‚ as one of the consumers of the electricity‚ also experiences the power crisis. Due to different factors that results to sudden brownouts especially those in the province‚ the researcher came up with the study entitled “Potato Battery”. Two new sources are fruits and vegetables. These are organic and can easily be bought at farms and markets. One of these is the use of potato but not all fruits and vegetables are usable. Potato had been considered due to it’s high content of

SIMULATION FOREGROUND READING Back Bay Battery‚ Inc. Overview The battery industry is enormous‚ with worldwide revenues of approximately $45 billion. It is highly fragmented with at least 20 major manufacturers in each technology segment. Because of the wide range of applications of batteries‚ companies have tended to specialize in a particular technology or market application. Disposable batteries‚ such as the widely available carbon-zinc and alkaline cells‚ are available in standard sizes

Batteries‚ Resistance and Current “Battery-Resistor”: Check “show battery” and “show cores”‚ watch what happens‚ adjust some variables 1. Why do electrons (blue dots) move? Draw a diagram of the battery‚ label the flow of electrons. The flow of current (+) is opposite; draw this and note if toward or away from + terminal of the battery. The blue dots indicating the electrons move because there is a voltage across the battery in which the electrons flow away from the positive terminal

Group 2 Science Investigatory Project I Title: Potato Battery II Objective: We only need a potato‚ a couple nails and a piece of wire to make a potato battery. It’s a fun science project that helps show the way things work in a battery by using everyday items we see around the house. The goal is to learn more about electricity‚ and possibly a few new science terms along the way. III Materials: * Two Potatoes * Two short pieces of heavy copper wire * Two common galvanized nails

and unpredictable nature of the conventional chemical batteries‚ along with the frequent replacements that they require‚ has created an acute need for a reliable‚ longer-lasting and rugged source of energy. Moreover Radars‚ spacecrafts‚ interstellar probes and other advanced communication devices require much larger power than that can be met by conventional energy sources. The solution to long term energy source is the nuclear powered batteries which have a life span of few decades and can pack in

BATTERIES What is a battery? A battery is a container consisting of one or more cells carrying an electric charge and used as a source of power. SECONDARY BATTERIES * rechargeable * high cost (short-term) low cost (long-term) * used in objects with high energy requirements: e.g. mobile phones‚ power tools * require special handling‚ containment & disposal * limited interchangeability * long life time * produce smaller amount of waste (flat discharge curve)
