There is a strong belief in this company from the public, their goal, and the design and safety features of their products. Additionally, they are beating out their competitors which include the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Ford Fusion Energy, BMW i3, which are all hybrids and not fully electric. People tend to look to Tesla over others because of the free supercharging network they provide. Tesla without any help has been able to create a nationwide charging network in the US and other…
1.1. Sustainable Development The idea of energy efficient, healthy buildings has been around for a long time, it is now that the concept of “green” or “sustainable” building has entered the mainstream and catching the global attention. There are probably several reasons; Global Warming, rising energy costs, the growing awareness, declining oil reserves, and concerns about our limited water supply. The list goes on, but whatever the reason or reasons; energy efficient building is a concept whose…
800 °C. Therefore, most of the Metal processes sustainability advantages and disadvantages will apply here. Evaluation of which process should be used While there is only 2 processes for Ceramic's, in my opinion the Injection Moulding would be more beneficial. The main reason I have chosen this over Powder Metallurgy, is that the Injection Moulding process offers a far higher hardness strength than the Powder Metallurgy version. This would be an excellent feature for us, as we do not want the…

Tidal energy is a renewable energy created by using gravitational forces from the sun and the moon. Since the moon rotates around the Earth, and the sun’s placement is constantly changing, the sea levels are always rising or falling. These different levels create the tide cycle and energy is gathered from the difference in sea levels, currents, and tides. Tidal energy can appear complex and confusing but this quote provides a brief explanation of how tidal energy is defined and gathered: “Tidal…
“Bicycle, bicycle, bicycle. I want to ride my bicycle, bicycle, bicycle. I want to ride my bicycle. I want to ride my bike.” High pitched in all its glory—at the top of our lungs—it was “Bicycle Race” by Queen, or The Bicycle Song in the terms of an unknowing five-year-old. It started my morning for three years. Katherina would rock out to and sing this memorable song, even through its fiftieth time, with a joy that few siblings can muster. Sometimes loud, sometimes in a fit of giggles, but…
have that can help transfer energy is its soluble chemical property which may cause a chemical reaction between specific materials and then work as an electrochemical cell. Potatoes have stored chemical energy which in return can be converted to electrical energy that can power a small light bulb or run a clock. Potatoes are composed of starches, salt and water.…
There are many locations in the world that could serve as a nice place for me to live in the future, but for the sake of the project, I chose right here in Glendale, AZ. Other places I considered were some places in California, since I love the beach, or somewhere really exotic, like Rome or Venice in Italy.

It is acknowledged nationwide that everyday things rely on energy. Who would know what a few years without energy would do to the U.S. However, there is a more efficient way of constructing energy such as, sun, wind, and solar. Non-renewable resources should not be used. Non-renewable sources cause effects on human health as in heart disease, lung cancer, and both chronic and acute respiratory diseases, including asthma. In addition, environmental hazards as in including air and water pollution,…
