The speed that we can get to places now has increased rapidly, but has that made it better. There has been a lot of safety regulations implemented since the 70s. For example, seat belts and speed limits on roads helped keep the roads and pedestrians safe, but even with safety regulations; giving some people this technology is very dangerous so they will use it to their advantage. If you…

“Certified” pre-owned cars are a great option for buyers who want to take advantage of a newer model car at a lower price with the security of a dealer’s warranty. All things considered equal, it costs more to buy a certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle than it does to buy the same used vehicle when it is not part of a CPO program. However, while non-CPO vehicles are typically less expensive, they are not equal to CPO vehicles. Here's why: Only Vehicles in the Best Condition Qualify--Late-model,…

Auto battery costs must be considered by a driver a need from their financial plan as well. Any auto needs an electric charge to begin its motor. The best way to procure power for each vehicle is through the battery it utilizes, and the length of it performs well. There are numerous variables that influence the execution of different auto batteries. The cost of these different auto batteries completely rely on upon its execution. Of course, the higher the cost of the battery the better its…

Razor Dune Buggy - Get The Facts! The Razor Dune Buggy reminds me of the dune buggies my cousins had in the 70′s and 80′s. It’s a miniature electric version of the gas powered originals. I used to love tooling around in those things so this was a no-brainer for me to buy the Razor Electric Dune Buggy for my son. This electric dune buggy has a powerful 350 watt motor and can go up to 10 mph. It seems to be fast enough to satisfy most kids but not too fast to give moms a heart attack. Adults…

When it comes to markets, a market will be either elastic or inelastic. Elasticity is a measure of the responsiveness of quantity demanded or quantity supplied to a change in one of its determinants. Inelasticity contrasts this concept as people will still purchase a good regardless of price in this market. Iced tea is in an elastic market as the product, iced tea, is not a necessity. Individuals may enjoy the product, although the majority of the population doesn’t enjoy it enough to still…

Are cars really where we want them to be right now? Sure, it’s easy to look in the past and be content with the advancements we have made but where is it that we stand at this moment? If we can look at what the car does not just for ourselves but for our community we can see so much more. When we look at the little things and all of the progress being made we start to realize where we are going with it all. It is safe to assume that in 2050 self-driving cars will be very common and will aid in…

Inductive charging is a device that allows for the charging of portable devices through electromagnetic fields instead of wires. This means that consumers no longer have to plug in their devices to charge them. Anyone who uses any kind of device that needs to be plugged in, will be able to use Fuchi MegaCorp’s inductive charger. What this device may lack in efficiency, it makes up for in dependability. A consumer will get 10x the amount of charges for their devices compared to needing to replace…

There are several types of hybrid vehicles (figure E) as well as several ways that they can be connected (Figure D). Parallel is when the battery is connected to the motor and the motor is connected in between the combustible engine and the transmission. Series is when the battery is connected to both the motor and the generator, while the generator connected to the engine. Parallel is slightly more efficient than series due to no generator. Also there as several types of hybrid vehicles with a…

Electric cars are a great new way of travel with the new and improved batteries. The new battery, used in electric cars, is the lithium-ion pack. Lithium batteries are composed of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte solution. A permeable membrane, called a separator, plays an important role between the positive and negative electrodes; the separation is what allows the battery to create electricity. These cars are great for high school students or college students who…

Products nowadays are created with the idea of efficiency in mind, but might not take the environment into account. In the article Energy Science, Engineering and Technology: Battery Manufacturing and Electric and Hybrid Vehicles, by Bill Canis, the process of obtaining lithium in order to make Li-ion batteries is described along with characteristics of desirable batteries. Canis an expert in Industrial Organization and Business explains that lead-acid batteries used…
