Our Electric Bicycle Project I have added an electric power assist onto a GT mountain bike. With a 3 HP peak motor‚ it is much more powerful than typical electric bicycles. The basic motivation to build an electric bike was to have a fun and efficient and environmentally friendly way to stay out my car for short trips around town‚ and also as a silent trail bike for exploring the hills. I wanted to get some exercise - this bike can still be pedaled. When I first put this together it was even more

Electric Cars An electric car is a vehicle which gets power from one electric motor or more‚ and an electric car use electrical energy to store batteries or another energy storage device. The developmental history of electric cars is very long‚ and the first automobile all over the world was an electric car. However‚ electric cars had two terrible disadvantages: the problem of energy technology and mileage limit around 20 century. The problems made electric cars disappeared from citizens eyes for

Electric cars vs the gas oh line cars In the next ten years what the average American drives will be very different than today. Electric cars may phase out gasoline (Gasoline is also known as petrol) in the next couple of decade. Electric cars produce no tailpipe emissions and are much cheaper to fill up than the more common gasoline vehicles. Switching to electric cars will have more benefits than drawbacks in comparison to other fuels such as petrol and diesel. In order to switch to electric

5. What was the significance of Lincoln receiving nonrecourse notes rather than recourse notes as payment or partial payment on many of the properties sold? The first thing to look at is what the difference between nonrecourse and recourse notes is. A nonrecourse note is a note that prohibits the lender from attempting further restitution from the borrower in case of default. This means that the lender may not receive further compensation for a default loan. The lender can only take back the

Introduction and Experimental Goal: An electric field surrounds all electrically charged particles. With electric fields‚ one can determine the effects of all of the charges in the environment. In this lab entitled “Electric Fields and Potential Mapping”‚ the main goal obtained was to examine and deliberate the effects of an electric field and electric potential. Examples of some effects of electric fields include resultant forces‚ changes in motion‚ changes in current flow‚ etc. By using conductive

74 CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION MANAGEMENT Case Study: Jack Welch’s Creative Revolutionary Transformation of General Electric and the Thermidorean Reaction (1981–2004) Pier A. Abetti This case study draws a parallel between the French Revolution and the GE ‘revolution’‚ according to three waves of transformation. We discuss the ‘hard’ effects on GE employees (strategy‚ structure‚ employment‚ rewards) and the ‘soft’ effects (culture‚ work climate‚ indoctrination). In parallel with the French

In this essay I am going to be telling you about to what extent electric cars solve the fuel crisis. The critical steps are: 1. Evolve autos from gasoline/diesel to hybrid to plug-in hybrid. 2. Develop a battery that can run 200 miles on a 10-minute recharge. 3. Strengthen Briton’s electrical distribution system. 4. Recharge cars in garages‚ public places and service stations. 5. Build nuclear power plants to enlarge the supply of electricity. 6. Use all alternate sources of energy‚ i.e. wind

Poole is the owner of Tri-Plan Electronics. One day‚ he wakes up in a hospital to find out that he lost his hand during a squib accident. What is worse is that he is told by the doctors that he is a human-appearing organic robot‚ something called an Electric Ant. Then he learns from a futuristic computer that his subjective reality is being fed from micro-punched reality tape in his chest cavity. He conducts experiments on himself‚ first by glazing over a couple of holes and then punching new holes to
