The Electric Car

What do you think of when you think "electric car?" Does a supped up golf cart come to mind? Do you think of an odd shaped, three wheeled vehicle covered in solar panels?

When most people think of a totally electric car, they usually picture some sort of science experiment. They may think of a contest between two competing teams of scientists or college students who are trying to make a vehicle that will run totally on "sun energy." Most people don't think, "I'm going to go out and get me one of those." People don't want to drive around in a golf cart or a car from "The Jetsons." Not only is it not practical, but many of these "experimental cars" are outrageously expensive.

The New Electric Car

Well, now there is a "car of the future," and its not a far off science experiment. It is here now and it will be available to purchase for "ordinary people" in early 2010. This revolutionary new vehicle is an electric car that is "normal." It looks just like your combustion engine car. It travels as "far" and as "fast" as your combustion engine car. It can be refueled as fast as your combustion engine car. And what is even better, it costs about the same as your combustion engine car.

The Science Behind Hydrogen Hybrid Cars - The Electrolysis of Water

The Electrolysis of water in Hydrogen Hybrid Cars happens when an electric current passes through the water causing the water (H2O) to break down into its two basic elements, oxygen (O2) and hydrogen gas (H2). It's interesting to note that Industrial applications don't use this method of hydrogen production much since they can do it more affordably by getting it out of fossil fuels.

The way this works in Hydrogen Hybrid Cars is by taking an electrical power source and connecting it to two electrodes, or plates, (or multiples of two) usually made out of some kind of stable metal like aluminum or stainless steel, then putting them into the water. If this cell is made correctly then Hydrogen will form on the cathode (metal plate that's negatively charged), and oxygen will form on the anode (metal plate that's positively charged). Since there's two hydrogen molecules to every one oxygen, molecule in water the amount of hydrogen produced is twice that of oxygen and both are in proportion to the electrical charge that runs through the water.

Automobile Safety - Latest Technology in Use to Ensure You Are Safe

Automobile safety is a growing concern in the automobile industry. Millions of dollars are spent every year for research on automobile safety. It is also a means of creating competition among vendors because top companies want to give the best safety features as people will tend to buy safer vehicles.

A common person who purchases a car always checks up on its mileage and looks. Safety is the factor that the person neglects. Always the prime importance is to be given for safety because it's your family in there and when you are driving you have a responsibility towards them.

Effect of Technology on Our Lives

Technology is an improved route to an unimproved target. Technology is associated with innovation. It involves the transformation of ideas into something useful. Innovation is just not limited to creative people and organizations, but also involves the availability of technological and scientific talent. Technology and innovation are synergistic. Technology has definitely changed our lives and for the better.

Looking back in time, we realize how much our lives have changed due to the fruits of technology. It has provided us with freedom and less consumption of time and resources. Pointing out a particular technology for the drastic changes in one's life is simply not possible. A nation's economic growth can be measured according to the level of technology. This is because a number of factors are responsible for affecting an individual's life style. The most important factor for deciding the working of a particular technology is the presence of competition. One kind of technology seems beneficial only until a technological advancement does not occur.

Engineering and IT Fields Expecting Exceptional Growth

As any kid with a closet full of energy drinks and taco chips knows, when it comes to computers, hardware is the actual physical machine and software is all instructions that make the hardware work. This means a computer software engineer - these days simply called a computer engineer - can end up working on anything that has a microprocessor in it, from something as small as a smart phone to a robotic assembly line for a car manufacturer onto the NASA space platform.

Of all the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) professions, one of the fastest growing, as well as the most exciting, is computer software engineering. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of 2008, there were currently over 900,000 computer engineers in the U.S. That the occupation is projected to expand by 21% by 2018 should not come as a surprise to anyone who has been reading the news lately.

The Effect of Your Air Conditioner on Gas Mileage

This world is a crazy place. With the American economy behaving like it is, people all over the country are running around searching for ways to stretch their dollar, change the system, and take advantage of what things might be offered to them free or at a lower rate than usual. Like in older times, American citizens must learn the value of conserving things, using them as much as possible, and waiting to discard and replace them till the last minute. Gasoline is no exception.

Heaven knows how much the cost of gas has gone up in the past few years. Instead of paying under 30 bucks for a full tank of fuel, some people pay upward of 50, every time they fill up. To deal with that kind of craziness, people are looking for ways to save as much as possible, and get the most miles out of that gasoline that they can. For some, they are willing to sacrifice whatever it takes, including the air conditioning.

Technology and the Environment

To one who has seen the adverse effects of some technologies on the environment the question how does technology protect the environment? May have only one answer - it doesn't! The reality however is that from the onset science and technology has been at the forefront of ensuring the environment is safeguarded. Science is a weapon through which good or evil can be done depending on the consciences of those who are using it. There are lot of ways in which technology has been used to restore the integrity of the environment.

From reversing the damage done by the chlorofluorocarbons (c.f.c's) on the ozone layer to minimizing the harmful effects of the greenhouse gases which bring about global warming science has played a key role in safeguarding the environment. Through science machines that were discovered to be releasing c.f.c's into the atmosphere were removed from the market and in there place others were invented a case in point the refrigerators of old and modern refrigerators that are CFC free. Through scientific research it has been discovered that presence of trees and vegetation greatly decrease the amount of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide by absorbing them to use in their natural processes such as photosynthesis which has led to more environmental awareness
