In the late 1880’s Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison battled over what type of electricity {Alternating Current or Direct Current} would become standard in the United States (Nix). People today take electricity for granted‚ but during this time period people were just beginning to dawn the idea of having electricity in households. The vast majority of people had to utilize more dangerous types of electricity such as gas lamps. Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison both invented a type of electricity and the

Threat of New Entrants Just entering the automotive industry in 2003‚ Tesla themselves are facing the challenges of being the new entrants into the market. A high capital is required to begin any business expenditure. Tesla is not expected to become profitable for another 18 months (Taylor‚ 2011). There is a relatively low barrier to entry due to the higher demand for environmental friendly vehicles and with other outlets for available technology for lithium-ion batteries‚ it is a level of playing

If you’re Google CEO and co-founder Larry Page‚ though‚ you already know how you want your money to live on after you’re gone: support innovators like Tesla CEO Elon Musk. That’s what Page said at the TED conference in Vancouver‚ Canada this week‚ anyway‚ adding that the already-wealthy Musk is worthy of the Page billions because he’s one of the people who can change the world.

Introduction An automobile or motor car is a wheeled motor vehicle for transporting passengers; which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads‚ to have . seating for one to eight people‚ to typically have four wheels‚ and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. Automobile comes via the French language‚ from the Greek auto [self] and mobiles [moving]; meaning a vehicle that

Attachment: [Tesla readies mass-market Model E while other EV makers tread water] In the future‚ gas will be out‚ we would no longer driving a gas car. However‚ when this happen? May be 20 years‚ or 30 years later? We still don’t know that yet‚ but one thing we do know about is many car companies are trying to find different energy to replace gasoline. In currently‚ Electronic car is best much type that fit our need at this moment. There is a very successful Electronic car company called Tesla‚ who

ELECTRIC MOTOR CONTROLS Once the proper motor is selected‚ understanding the many various control devices available and their uses and limitations becomes an important part related to reliable operation and protection of the motor and the personnel using the motor. Motor Control Topics There are four major motor control topics or categories to consider. Each of these has several subcategories and sometimes the subcategories overlap to some extent. Certain pieces of motor control equipment can accomplish

SISTEMAS DC Motors Catedrático: Ing. Gustavo Mendoza Leal Alumno: Alfredo Valdés Cárdenas Introduction A DC motor is a type of electrical machine that converts direct current into mechanical power by means of a magnetic field. DC motors are widely used in field applications because of their many advantages over AC motors such as speed control‚ high starting torque‚ quick starting‚ stopping‚ reverse and acceleration and free from harmonics found in AC. Applications of DC motors include but
