At the turn of the twentieth century railways dominated land transport. Motor vehicles had yet to seriously threaten the railways‚ except for local traffic‚ while aviation was at an embryonic stage. Consequently the main belligerent nations of Europe built their plans for mobilising and supporting their armies in war primarily around railways. Each nation had developed very sophisticated schedules for concentrating troops and equipment at key depots and then despatching the forces rapidly to designated

Throughout the years electric cars have always been behind gas powered vehicles. They have always been short on the side of performance and range. And most people want a vehicle that has lots of performance. America has opted for the more sporty and luxurious SUVs and trucks. These vehicles use a lot of gas to run‚ but are a way of American life. Electric cars did not start to become popular until the late 90’s‚ when the price of gas began to rise. In the beginning‚ electric cars were very slow.

Vehicles have been the main method we have used to travel for several decades now‚ but the way we use them is drastically changing. The reason this subject interests me personally is not only because I plan to be an engineer. But because along with the invention of electric cars have introduced self driving cars. Let’s think about the standard vehicle and what they offer us today. The car I drive and the majority of cars

Abstract Energy is an important part of our everyday lives. Energy can come in many different types‚ and forms it can be used for many different purposes. Energy has many different usages and can be converted from one form of usage to another form of usage depending on what the need is. One form of energy conversion is the use of food to supply people’s bodies with energy. Another form of energy is how coal is converted into electricity. Fuel is another form of energy that can be used

it is made up of large plates beneath the crust and when the plates move‚ it changes the surface. There are four types of plate boundaries and they are divergent boundaries‚ convergent boundaries‚ transform boundaries‚ and plate boundary zones. Convergent boundaries are where the crust is broken‚ and one plate goes over it‚ divergent boundaries is where new plates are created while the plates pull away‚ transform boundaries is where the crust may be produced or more‚ plate boundary zones are boundaries
