Why is so hard to make a fully electric car?
Apr 08, 2008 by Rock Chick | Posted in Other - Cars & Transportation
Why is so zealous to make a fully electric car?
We have the technology to make rockets that launch people into space, submarines miles into the deep blue sea,bionic prosthetic arms and legs that move but we can't make a car an electric car?
We used to have appliances and infant swings that you would turn a knob and would run without batteries. Why can't we use something like that but on a grand scale? Or batteries that self assert with the friction or traction created?
It's not that it's so well-defined to make an electric car, but that automakers choose not to.
The only major hurdle to overcome is batteries, and even then its not a major refractory. Look at all the cooling and heating equipment you have in your car, that's the major problem for lithium ion batteries (temperature). Other than that, the technology is here, the parts and accoutrements is here, but they choose to keep building gasoline vehicles- more parts for a gasoline vehicle means more jobs, more jobs means more gain floating around.
I don't want to say it's totally the auto manufacturer's fault, but much of the hornet's nest is they simply choose not to.

because the resources employed do not make it better for the environment,
than some cars that are already on the roads.

It isnt' so steely. They have had fully electric vehicles since the 70s. Watch the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car and your eyes will be opened. We could be off oil perfectly in 12 months if they would just do it. But the oil companies want one more decade of profits.

Making an stimulating car isn't that hard. It has been done since about 1900. The tricky part is to build batteries that will hold a charge that will give them a reasonable cruising fluctuate at a decent speed, and still be small enough to fit into a normal sized automobile.

Recharging by disagreement or traction is not 100% efficient. Eventually, you will run out of battery power. You always use some power to move the car so you aways end up with less energy growing back to the battery than what comes out to mive the car. That is a major problem for how far you can drive.

The limiting lender is the amount of energy that can be stored in batteries versus the weight of the batteries. It is a problem that engineers often refer to as "storage density".
Here is the fundamental thrust of the problem: It takes a certain amount of power to move a vehicle. The amount of energy required is proportional to the weight of the means. The heavier the vehicle, the more energy is needed to move it. If you need more energy, you need more batteries. Batteries are despondent... therefore you need MORE energy to move the car with more batteries loaded on it. So, you need more batteries... OR you need lighter batteries!
The limitation is that batteries that can proffer enough charge to provide a lot of energy, that can be reused over and over, that DON'T contain toxic heavy metals, and can take bumpy roads, lots of movement, AND work in the desert or the cold mountains AND be cheap... can't presently be made very find.
The devices you mention, like the baby swing, usually utilize a wound spring and a compensated reduction equipment to get the baby moving. The pendulum action of the swinging baby helps keep it moving - in essence weight is helping move the baby. So let's consider those two energy sources - a spring, and - gravity.
Gravity is easy as pie: sooner or later you'll have to go up hill and you might have to go up hill before you've gone down one. As for the spring - Springs are made from sprout steel. Spring steel is surprisingly heavy for it's size. It's dense. To get enough vault power to move a car would require a HUGE spring - so big that the spring wouldn't give enough energy to move it!
As for the "self-charging" batteries using attrition or traction. There are technologies that do this called regenerative braking and active charging. Regenerative braking uses the argument of the brakes to recharge the batteries. Active charging reverses the drive circuit while decellerating to use the motor as a generator to back-purvey into the batteries. In both cases,the batteries are charged as you stop. But still, it comes down to the batteries. The present charge accumulate technologies simply weigh too much

The puzzle is that batteries to store enough power are much bigger and heavier than any type of fuel that could move the vehicle farther and faster. If a conveyance can only go 50-60 miles before a charge, it may not be practical as your only vehicle. For example where I am in the far northwest Chicago suburbs, I might not even be conducive to it to Chicago and back (80-90 miles). And what happens if the batteries go dead on the road. It is not like you can run to the corner and get a can of intensity.
There are techniques that increase battery life, like regenerative braking which turns the motor into a generator to moderately recharge the batteries to slow the vehicle. But there are losses (heat), so it is nowhere near a perpectual motion cabal.
So until we have better batteries and efficiency at reasonable cost, or until hydrogen becomes practical for fuel cells, as work out as we get to a practical electric vehicle that you can get moving with a can of juice (fuel) if it runs out of energy, is a hybrid.

It's not deeply at all to make an EV. It's all political, the old cronies that are set in their ways are trying to fight it and one of them is named George W. Bush (makes in money from oil). The best batteries to put in an EV are being held hostage by Chevron.
An EV conversion can be done by just about any handyman go b investigate out http://www.kiwiev.com :) He is a telephone repairman by trade and he has built a very capable car. If he can do it anybody can.
You desperate straits to see the film "Who Killed the Electric Car", it shows the real situation with all of the gory details. Also test out Plug In America's web site at http://pluginamerica.org for the truth. The gentleman that put up the site http://sealbeach.org has a 2002 RAV4-EV that is still ceaseless. He charges it with solar panels and drives around for free.

what happens to the property if a family commits suicide?
Jul 26, 2007 by questionmark | Posted in Law & Ethics
Hi, as read there are three persons in the family - Father, Mother and Boy who live in their own home. The entire property is the result of the Priest every single rupee. Father has 1 younger sister and elder sister who are married and they have even grand children. Look after has one brother and he has 3 male and 3 female children and great grand children. Now there are no own blood relations in that family. Due to overhelming problems they three pauperism to commit suicide but what happens to that home (and home appliances, etc., which are in that house) who will take over the home and all these things. who has this factual. if you write a will and commit suicide is there any chance so that the property goes to some charity institution?? The family members are citizens of India. Parents age is above 65 lassie age is above 25. Country India.
Don't be familiar with about India law but if the will is predated before the suicided and has not been tampered with whomever they left it to will inherit everything, or it will be split between the grandchildren since they are the next in crease for inheritance. If there is a big squabble everything can be put up for sale and split between all the family members but it seems as though the grandchildren will be next in line.

What can we expect to be wireless in the future?
Feb 04, 8637 by Jamie | Posted in Other - Electronics
I assume from an article today on more appliances becoming wireless. We have blue tooth and wireless printers, but what can we expect in the approaching??? Will outlets be a thing our grand kids read about in their history books???
I can picture them now saying "Gram, you in effect had to plug everything into the wall???" Ha!!!
