Amendments to the Clean Air Act, the first really dramatic assertion by the federal government in the environmental Arena.' (resources for the future. Com). We are most conscious now about our environment than ever before due to global warming. The number one reason for that is the emissions from vehicles both fast and slow, both high and low. With increasing technology, the automakers are developing ways to reduce the dangerous emissions. The first electic car was invented in 1834 by Vermont…

Since their inception, forklifts have revolutionized the commercial and industrial sectors. Forklifts not only yield an increase in efficiency, but they also help create a safer work environment. The increased load capacity and maneuverability of forklifts surpass what used to be done manually. Many, if not most, commercial and industrial businesses utilize these machines on a daily basis, and in Rochester, NY, Insley McEntee Equipment Company is proud to provide them. For more than 60 years,…

and found strategies that would further this objective. They adopted these ideas to the Model T and ultimately, revolutionized industrial production. Inspired by the meat processing factories in Chicago, Ford decided to create an assembly line that moved. Interchangeable…

The Model T shook America. A rattling beast compiled of steel, glass, and the American Dream, this pioneer vehicle paved the way for car production as we know it. We all start out as that Model T, made of the same materials, but working towards individuality. As we grow, our car remodels; the Model T turns into the Model A, and before we know it, we’re a Ford Flex zooming along the interstate. Though exteriors evolve, technology improves, and destinations change, all cars maintain a common…

Henry Ford Spent His Early Years as a Farmer.In later years, He went on to become an Inventor and to accomplish great strides in the area of Michigan. Born on July 30, 1863, on a Michigan farm spring wells township, Henry Ford left the family farm because his mom died and to get his dream into action one of the first jobs were at the flower brothers machine shop where he only got $2.50 a week he shapes brass valves on a machine. on 1888 claras twenty-second birthday she marries Henry Ford on…

The only reason college students in the Pioneer Valley take a trip to Holyoke is for the mall, not even located in the downtown core. This is the only economic activity as evident by even a simple stroll through the center square. With few name brand stores, coffee shops, and aesthetically pleasing buildings, Holyoke looks like it is on it’s way to becoming a ghost town since it has not yet recovered from the post-industrial crash. The economy has not diversified and looked attractive to new…

In Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, almost every product has been mass produced, including humans, using Henry Ford’s principle of assembly line production. The society has taken this principle to the extreme, in that they encourage people to embrace this because it is a key to achieve efficiency and success. People were brainwashed to believe that efficiency, production and consumerism, are values of paramount importance. Furthermore, the principle became the root of their existence, thus,…

Introduction It has been a puzzling question in fluid mechanics for quite some time as to why golf balls are designed with dimples. In the 1800’s it was discovered that a ball with scuffs in it flew through the air more consistently than a smooth golf ball.6 Manufacturers started incorporating patterns to golf balls to try and find which gave a more stable and reliable flight pattern. In the 1900’s it was determined that the strategic placement of indentations maximizes lift while minimizing…

The factors that affect the drag coefficient is the shape of the body, the roughness of the surface, the viscosity of the fluid and compressibility of the object. The viscosity of the fluid introduces the Reynold Number. In Engineering, a key concept to understand is the Reynolds Number. It is the ratio inertial forces (resistance to motion) compared to the viscous forces (fluid 's internal resistance to flow). It is dependent of the velocity, density characteristic length and dynamic viscosity.…

Who doesn’t like a good movie? For many, it is the most joyous form of escapism. Viewers could break from their social and humanly limitations, and immerse themselves into the life and role of the star character; the hero or the heroine. One would find love, romance, innate super-powers, and finally, social acceptance (sometimes even reverence), all within the gratifying time frame of two hours. Like sex, their transferred-to-on-screen alter ego would build up to a climax, to at last explode…
