Lithium battery

show in recent years that they want to be much more than just an automaker. In 2014, Tesla announced plans to build a Gigafactory – a large scale facility designed to significantly reduce battery cell costs (Tesla, n.d). Just a year later, they would also announce the Tesla Powerwall - a set of high-capacity batteries that can be used for home energy storage (Griggs, 2015). The biggest surprise, however, would come in 2016 when the company acquired SolarCity, the largest installer of rooftop…

updates available. Maintaining a computer can really help having a good, fast, and reliable system to navigate in. Among many electronics such as the computer, lithium-ion battery is the most used. As so, many problems have surged from such batteries, such as the life-cycle cost. So, it is necessary to have a track of how the lithium-ion batteries are preforming. To address the issue, it proposes a run-time reconfigurable computing system, which is a “dynamic partial reconfiguration technology…

Presto 03510 FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker The Presto 03510 FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker is a waffle maker that lets you cook one round of Belgian waffle at a time. It has an extra-thick grid that creates 7-inch waffles. As with its design, the Flipside has an interesting design quality and construction. The hinges are supported by a metal frame, not a plastic one unlike all other Belgian waffle makers. This adds durability, but the problem with metal is it tends to heat up faster and could…

Various Definitions:-  Rural Area:- In general, a rural area is a geographic area that is located outside the cities and towns. The Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services define the word "rural" as encompassing "...all populations, housing, and territory not included within an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural. Rural areas are also known as 'Countryside' or a 'village' in India. It has a very low density of…

However the vehicle must rely on these batteries to store the energy the car needs to operate. The energy stored in a battery is measured by kilowatt-hours (kWh). The more kWh’s stored, the further the car can go on one charge. Recently Battery packs for Electric Vehicles, loaded with lithium-ion cells, now cost around $496 a kilowatt-hour, a 60 percent drop from 2010. Figure 1 shows the price drop of a battery by kWh for an Electric Vehicle from 2010 - 2015. This price is…

The American Auto Industry is in a state of perpetual flux as any business should be. In taking into context the creation of the Model T by Ford and the improvements and innovation that has proceded the conception, construction, safety and environmental impact and governmental financial aid to the automobile in the past century and a half, we can safely say that even an industry as old and as large as this must still adapt and quickly. Infrastructure and Safety When cars first began to…

People may say the “selfie” was invented in the last decade; in reality wildlife have been taking their own pictures for over a century (okay--maybe not intentionally). Believe it or not, remotely triggered camera techniques date back to as early as1889! Both during and after his time as a U.S congressmen and lawyer, wildlife enthusiast George Shiras, was one of the original folks to design a camera trap. Born in 1859 in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, he went on to dedicate his life to photographing…

These drones are ran off of lithium ion batteries and modern drones are taking advantage of using solar energy. The overhead of utilizing these machines is very low. UAV's are potentially an alternate source for a man. UAV's are very fast, being unmanned they can travel faster and more…

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…

The rover used for tests featured an electric brushless motor, lithium polymer (LiPo) battery and an APM autopilot which enabled autonomous navigation via GPS waypoint. These waypoints were set using the Mission Planner program, which was downloaded for free from 3DR. This rover was set a task, to photograph an area and send back…
