is to use the electric motor instead of gasoline one. An electric car is a car that powered by an electric motor rather than a regular gasoline engine. There are several major differences between gasoline and electric cars. First of all‚ “the electric motor will replace the gasoline engine” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Secondly‚ “the electric motor is powered by a controller” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Thirdly‚ “the controller gets power from the rechargeable batteries” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). In

Abstract— In the conventional buck converter the supply current is discontinuous which may produce electromagnetic interference (EMI). In order to minimize the EMI problems an interleaved buck converter with continuous supply current has been introduced. Also due to the advantage of improved step-down conversion ratio‚ the interleaved buck converter can be used for high step-down and high frequency applications. The main features of the converter also include lower switch stress and lower output

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

Forest Fire: Causes and Effects Ron Hilton National American University One morning you wake up and look out the window. Off to the west‚ you see an orange glow over the hills. You ask yourself “Is that a forest fire? What caused it? What is it going to do to the ecosystem?” The answer to the first question comes down to two main causes‚ man and nature. According to the U.S. Fire Administration (2000)

the problems faced by electrical engineers are no less important‚ and that the engineers in this discipline should be aware of the particular ethical dilemmas of this field. The field of electrical engineering covers a wide range of technology from power generation and transmission lines to integrated circuits used in computers. This essay will outline‚ using real-life examples‚ three major concerns in electrical engineering and explain how they impact the world on an international scale. The current
