Abstract: The 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge, the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge, was a suspension bridge in the U.S. state of Washington that spanned the Tacoma Narrows strait of Puget Sound between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. It opened to traffic on July 1, 1940, and dramatically collapsed into the Northwestern coast of Washington on November 7 of the same year. At the time of its construction, the bridge was the third-longest suspension bridge in the world in terms of main span…

Tesla Incorporated: Out of this World Designs Tesla Incorporated is a unique company. Initially called Tesla Motors, this design company was founded to equalize the playing field for electric cars. “In 2003, a group of engineers created a car enterprise company which would become Tesla Incorporated” (“Tesla.” 1). At first, the company strived to make a name for itself solely in the car industry. But after releasing so many models of green and energy efficient vehicles, the engineers…

Phillip Andrew Hocking Professor Jim Roth English 102 12 June 2017 Hybrid Cars – Do They Really Help the Environment while Helping My Wallet? The first vehicle that really could be classified as a hybrid is a sailboat that also has an oar. It is typical in sailing to run out of wind, so savvy sailors carry oars or an outboard to ensure that they can propel the craft when there is no wind. The word 'hybrid' when used in relation to an automobile is defined loosely as utilizing two or more…

Ever since the age of sputnik and the race to the moon, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been propelling humanity forward through innovations in technology and providing a brighter future for America. However, recent years have seen cuts to the overall budget of NASA and more budget proposals are seen every year. Our country cannot afford to let NASA fade into irrelevance and be left to romanticize about what could have been. Instead, we should increase NASA’s budget…

Script Are reusable rockets a sustainable possibility for the future? What are rockets? Rocket technology is extremely wasteful, and being a one shot wonder, they show no promise of a sustainable future. When a rocket is launched, it is propelled based upon newton’s 3rd law of motion; “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” This is done by using on board propellant which is then used to create thrust from a rocket engine, by ejecting thrust in the opposite direction to…

generator and collector system, which used a lot of high knowledge about the electronics and mechanicals , engineering mathematics also takes a great part to set up a very good model to combine these combinations.(Ming,Yin,2014) According to the aerodynamics, air power is equal to one half of the product of the air density, the sweep area of the air fan, the cube wind speed and the use ratio of the wind power over the dynamic energy. Scientists use these sources to set up a simple but rational…

Valerian: Luc Besson’s hero drives a Lexus A younger generation raised after Star Wars might think, when looking at Valerian, the film, that it borrowed many ideas from George Lucas blockbuster, but the reality is different: Valerian inspired Star Wars. Valerian, the film, picks the comic series from 1967 and mixes it with a promise of the future: the Skyjet vehicle designed by Lexus for a world set 700 years in the future. The first trailer from Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets,…
