The Adoption of Electrically Powered Vehicles in the U.S. Date: 08-31-2013 The non-internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles consists of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV)‚ plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV)‚ single-fuel all electric vehicles (EV)‚ and fuel cell vehicles (FCV). Earlier attempts at non-ICE vehicles were faced with many challenges resulting in abandonment of research and development. General Motors (GM) discontinued the EV1 electric vehicle after investing about $1 billion in

THE DRONES CONTROVERSY IN TODAY’S CONFLICT In today’s battlefield unmanned aerial systems (UASs) also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)‚ remotely piloted vehicles (RPVs) or drones are the United States Department of Defense’s most controversial defense weapon to date. Many US top commanders and expert in military history‚ intelligence‚ and international security‚ says that unmanned aerial systems or UAS‚ as experts call them‚ are the most important new military technology in the twenty-first

In this article of Kurt W. Smith’s Drone Technology: Benefits‚ Risks‚ and Legal Considerations‚ a drone can be interpreted as an airplane with the capacity to fly freely due to the sustenance of on board electronics. The article explains the advantages of using drones‚ the chances taken if something goes wrong and the lawful deliberations needed to use drones for the right purpose. Thus‚ drones do have several mishaps that when used in public may seem unwelcomed by some people. In summary‚ a drone

all over the world. The Air Force pilots who control this type of drone nicknamed them “St. Nick.” They call it this because “It brings down hell on the naughty and protects the good.” Said Air Force Chief Scientist Mica Endsley. (Military) If one unmanned combat drone can do the work of ten military soldiers without the chance of one of the soldiers getting injured or dying‚ then I’m all for military drone use. Even though our military uses drones to kill hostiles in foreign countries this does not

modifications that are the main objective of the study. Compressed air filled by electricity using a compressor. The electricity requirement for compressing air has to be considered while computing overall efficiency. Nevertheless the compressed air vehicle will contribute to reducing a air pollution and tend to zero pollution level and promoting great environment. Main advantage of this engine is that no hydrocarbon fuel required means no combustion process is take place. HISTORY In fact‚ two centuries

Should Civilian Use of Drones be Regulated? Are drones a public threat? The prevalence of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)‚ which are pilotless‚ radio-controlled aircraft‚ or Drones‚ is steadily increasing due to technological advances and decreasing cost to produce the devices. Notably‚ drones span in size from micro‚ bug-size versions to drones that are as large as airplanes. Consequently‚ the military‚ without putting military personnel at risk‚ utilizes small‚ hand-held drones for
