The reasons for this review stem from recent changes in strategic direction from Toyota’s competitors within the Australian marketplace with the remaining local manufacturers electing to cease production in Australia. Currently Toyota Australia employs a three pronged strategy (Grant, 2012)…

CTI (2014) reports that development of mini-grid and off-grid RET’s could dominate energy production in Africa. Moreover, various African countries have set future targets to increase the share of renewable energy due to the emergence of RET’s (African Development Bank Group, 2012). Therefore, this premise…

Introduction New Battery design that could help the world go green even more. Researchers has discovered a new design which runs on low temperatures, giving generation of batteries the jolt they need to make it to market. To start producing this product it’s going to be expensive one way we could lower the cost is create electrodes from liquid meatls.What this will do is separating one another by liquid electrolyte, which will help charge the ions through the battery. “This looks like an…

York lines, power came from a third rail buried beneath the street and picked up through a slot in the ground. Electrically powered trains utilized Frank J. Sprague’s invention, called regenerative braking, to return unused energy back to the power grid.…

very important to our national grid. In my previous paper I elaborated the importance of taxation in infrastructure, public education and health care commonly for economic growth, however there…

Emerson, Thoreau, Krakauer, and Donavan all share common themes having to do with transcendental beliefs and also nature.

However, the coronal mass ejections (CME) — clouds of protons and other charged particles — that follow the flares within about 20 minutes can disrupt our satellite systems, GPS tracking devices, and power grids. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the September 6 CMEs were powerful enough to black out both high-frequency radio waves and low-frequency communication used in navigation, for about an hour, on the sunlit side…
