As you know‚ gas prices are going up. Nobody likes paying more money for gas and yet nobody is willing to do anything about it. Now that we are at war with the Middle East (the main gasoline providers) the gas prices are going to keep going up. Some people (like foreign ambassadors) say that trade with the Middle East is good for there economy‚ but I for one don’t like being dependent on foreign oil. That is where hydrogen fuel cells come into the picture. Rather than depending on a foreign countries

The MQ-8B Fire Scout is a specific example of a rotary-propelled type UAV. The Fire Scout’s “Vertical Take-Off and Landing Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (VTOL-UAV) system is designed to operate from air-capable ships.” (U.S. Navy) This type of system is often found on guided missile frigates‚ or simply a Navy battleship‚ as well as Littoral Combat Ships (LCS)‚ which are specifically Navy ships close to shore lines used for immediate combat. (U.S. Navy) The reason the Fire Scout is found on LCS’s

Nano Aerial Vehicles and Micro Aerial Vehicles are primarily used for military applications which include Intelligence‚ Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR missions)‚ and used for both indoor and outdoor missions‚ which represents a challenging environment factor to overcome. The use of MAVs and NAVs reduce human risk as it does not require an on-board pilot for the mission‚ they also tend to improve the assessment of danger and have visibility in the dark when equipped with infrared cameras.

the energy that is lost while the vehicle is stopping. This technology is used on hybrid vehicles that use both gas and electricity as sources of power. The energy that is recouped during braking is saved in a storage battery and used later to power the motor whenever the vehicle is using its electric power source. Conventional Braking Systems In braking systems on conventional vehicles‚ friction is used to counteract the forward momentum of a moving vehicle. As the brake pads rub against the
