...Kimberly Milburn COM/172 Rosemary LoDato February 28, 2012 Green Danger The concept for the new millennium is green energy. The majority of the human race is looking for new and improved ways of saving the environment. One of the ideas carmakers and environmentalists alike have toyed with is the creation of a working electric car to help save the environment. The notion of a functional electric car for the public’s daily use has been around for a few decades, but there was never a real place in the car market for one until recent years. There has been a recent shift in the consumer’s mind set as far as environmental consciousness, as well as the consumer’s overwhelming vocal concerns over emissions destroying the ozone. Even though electric cars do not put out the high emissions, the batteries these cars must use are worse for the environment because the chemical makeup is harsher for the eco system, and tests have shown a regular battery does less damage to the environment (Cherry,2010). The workings of a gas/diesel engine are very different from that of an electric car engine. Where the gas/diesel engines use fuel and combustion, the electric car runs solely on a battery. There are hybrids that use both a fuel engine and alternately run off of a battery, but they are in another category. A fuel engine uses the spark from a spark plug to ignite the gasoline fumes inside the carburetor which starts the engine, whereas a diesel engine uses hot air to ignite the diesel...

...Summary Summit electric is one of the prominent industry for the wholesale Electric equipment in the United State. There are almost 500 employees working with this large company. Summit electric was found in 1977, New Mexico. The company has reached higher rank in the united states for the selling the electric equipment after the company came to the market. Summit electric plays a role as a middleman for supplying and manufacturing the good of electric. Summit was continuing to grow and was beginning the outgoing the legacy information system that were built in 1980. Summit SAP software also produce a significant return on investment from automating sales tax processing and chargeback. As we talk about chargeback, it is a most important and large part of the wholesale distribution channel of equipment in profit model. In that situation summit electric was losing the revenue opportunity only because of its chargeback process was damaged and the other reason was reporting ability was incomplete. In addition, summit workers have to work on opening through client’s bills for particular manufacturer to identify which chargeback the company could claim. By the sometime the vendors of the summit electric responded to the chargeback invoices, as per talk the bills were three of four months old. In that case as a part of ERP solution, summit electric putted the SAP paybacks and chargeback application and this application was specifically for the vender industries. The SAP system NEW...

...Lincoln follow a hierarchical or decentralized approach to management? Explain your answer and give examples. Answer 1 Structurally, Lincoln electric appears to use a decentralized approach to management. According to (Draft, 2010), “decentralization relies on cultural values, traditions, shared beliefs, trust and an egalitarian spirit to foster compliance with organizational goals” (p. 548-549). Lincoln Electric also uses a lateral approach between management and employees to achieve organizational goals. Examples of Lincoln Electric’s decentralized approach include their open door policy, which is for all employees from the top to the bottom of the hierarchy, their no lay-off policy and their procedure of promoting from within. Another example of Lincoln Electric’s decentralization approach is the fact that the organization encourages a practice of face to face communication between employees and management. They also encourage employees to challenge management if they feel that they are being treated unfairly in regards to compensation rates and practices. Lincoln electric also encourages their management staff to reward employees who exhibit the core values of trustworthiness, openness, self-management and loyalty (Draft, 2010). Question 2 Based on what you have just read, what do you think makes Lincoln System so successful in the United States? Answer 2 One reason Lincoln Electric is so successful is because they fully invest in their intellectual Capital especially...

...engineering fields to construct fast compact and efficient computer systems. COE's main concentrations include cyber security, artificial intelligence and networking. In the COE lab, three applications of COE were demonstrated: The first one was a video showing the control of electric train collision, where an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) system was used to avoid collision between two trains that had a common track. Switches controlled by sensors (which detect the position of the trains on the tracks) were used to stop a train while the other train moved through the common track. In the second demonstration, an FPGA based camera module was used to stream live video. A camera was used to capture data which the FPGA then converted into RGB (Red, Green and Blue) format for viewing on an LCD monitor via a VGA port. In the third demonstration, an EA Series Router was configured to its basic settings using a PC after which the PC was connected to a wireless client.

...Comparison of CO2 Emissions from Electric Vehicles and Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles | | In order to determine if the emissions of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) was significantly less from electric vehicles (EV) compared to gasoline powered vehicles, an evaluation was conducted using 5 EV’s and 5 comparable gasoline powered vehicles that were driven 8,000 miles with the average CO2 emissions being measured. The results were that the average CO2 emissions for the EV’s were 4,329 lbs. and the average CO2 emissions for the gasoline powered vehicles were 6,433 lbs., which equates to a 32.7% difference. These results did answer our research question but raised subsequent questions as to whether electric vehicles are the long-term solution in reducing overall non-renewable energy. | | March 22, 2012 March 22, 2012 1.) Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to determine if the emissions of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from electric vehicles (EV) is significantly less than that of internal combustion vehicles (ICE). Our rational for this experiment is due to the increasing number of electric vehicles that are being manufactured and purchased and to answer the question: Is there really a significant positive impact on the environment or more of a psychological impact for society? To answer this question we began research on how the U.S. is getting its electricity. There are several sources of electricity in the U.S., with coal at 48.9%, natural gas at 20%, nuclear at...

...Prof. Pascia Pceit-17-101P Electromagnetic Induction Michael Faraday formulated that electromotive force (EMF) produced around a closed path is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through any surface bounded by that path. In practice, this means that an electric current will be induced in any closed circuit when the magnetic flux through a surface bounded by the conductor changes. This applies whether the field itself changes in strength or the conductor is moved through it. In mathematical form, Faraday's law states that: where is the electromotive force ΦB is the magnetic flux. For the special case of a coil of wire, composed of N loops with the same area, the equation becomes A corollary of Faraday's Law, together with Ampère's law and Ohm's law is Lenz's law: The EMF induced in an electric circuit always acts in such a direction that the current it drives around the circuit opposes the change in magnetic flux which produces the EMF Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electric current across a conductor moving through a magnetic field. It underlies the operation of generators, transformers, induction motors, electric motors, synchronous motors, and solenoids.[1] Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831 though it may have been anticipated by the work of Francesco Zantedeschi in 1829.[2] Around 1830[3] to 1832[4] Joseph Henry made a similar discovery, but did not publish...

...Globalization at General Electric Abstract General Electric, the largest industrial conglomerate in America founded by Thomas Edison, produces a range of goods and services including home appliances, jet engines, power generators, medical equipment, and television broadcasting. Over 40 percent of its revenues today come from international sales, and it is expected that by 2012, some 55-60 percent of its business will be international. During the 1980s and 1990s, when General Electric was led by Jack Welch, the company was an American company doing business in foreign markets. Today, under the leadership of Jeffery Immelt, General Electric is moving toward becoming a global corporation. Question:1-Why do you think GE has invested so agressively in foreign expantion?What opportunities is it trying to exploit? Answer to the question NO. 1 I think GE acted so agressively because if they didn’t then another company would have grapped the opportunity & purchase the companies that were in trouble.Other companies could have also formed there & that would have made it harder for GE to establish their business in other countries.Some companies may object to a foreign company trying to establish a company on their land but by buying out the business that were in financial trouble, GE came out as the heroes.They helped to save the jobs that these companies also acted agressively because they wanted the revenue that it would produce. I think that GE is trying to exploit lower...

...charged particles is integral to the understanding of electrical forces. The lesson begins with traditional activities of charging objects by friction and comparing electrostatic forces to magnetostatic forces. The traditional experiments are explained in terms of the model of an atom, and the “attract and repel force rules” are explored and expanded. Devices to create, store, and measure charge are utilized in experiments. The formal theory of Coulomb’s law is introduced, and problems are assigned utilizing that theory. Elements of the historical development of electrostatics and planetary model of the atom are researched, and students have an assignment describing contributions of historically important scientists. Additional concepts of electric fields, potential difference, and properties of conductors and insulators are developed through experiment, demonstration, and discussion.

...many countries have already started taking steps in this direction. In America, for example, The Obama administration has, set forth a goal of having one million electric-powered vehicles on U.S. roads by 2015, while some others have also proposed a medium-term goal where electric vehicles would consist of 20% of the passenger vehicle fleet by 2030 or approximately 30 million electric vehicles to contribute toward greener planet or reduce their carbon print. Many big automobile companies have also started taking steps in this direction by giving serious thought to development of battery operated vehicle or hybrid vehicles. Nissan Motor for example has already put a six billion dollars bet in the growing market for such vehicles. To those worried about the over dependence of their countries on exports of oil from foreign countries, development and deployment of electric vehicles will be a huge respite. Implementing stronger efficiency standards and imposing higher taxes on motor fuels are some steps in the direction to reduce over dependency on depleting natural resources, but achieving even greater reductions will require changing the way people power their transportation system or use vehicle/cars/public transportation to travel. To those worried about climate change, greenhouse emission and depleting ozone layer, electric cars, or battery powered vehicles could increasingly be considered a boon. Finally, to countries and states which are increasingly trying to reduce their...

...You may complete this activity with a partner. Objectives: Determine the variables that affect how charged bodies interact. Predict how charged bodies will interact. Describe the strength and direction of the electric field around a charged body. Use free-body diagrams and vector addition to help explain the interactions What is Electric Field? Electric Field is the force experienced by a charge divided by the value of the charge. The direction of the electric field is given by the direction of the force a positive charge will experience when placed at that location. Electric Field lines represent the electric field visually. At any point on an electric field line, the electric field direction is tangent to that line. Where the lines are closest together, the field is the strongest. Electric field lines always point away from positive charges and toward negative charges. Therefrore, positive charges will move in the direction of the field; negative charges will move opposite the electric field. The following activity is an exploration of Electric Fields. Questions: 1. Why do charged particles move apart? What controls how fast they move? Test your ideas using Electric Field Hockey in the Practice mode. Record your observations about what affects the direction and speed of the puck. Your observations should demonstrate that you have run controlled tests with all the variables. As the puck gets closer...

...the electrification of the passenger vehicle fleet as a path to meeting this goal. The Obama administration has, for example, embraced a goal of having one million electric-powered vehicles on U.S. roads by 2015, while others proposed a medium-term goal where electric vehicles would consist of 20% of the passenger vehicle fleet by 2030—approximately 30 million electric vehicles. The technology itself is not in question—many of the global automobile companies are planning to sell plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and/or battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by 2012. The key question is, will Americans buy them? The answer depends on four additional questions: 1. Is the cost of purchasing and operating an electric vehicle more or less expensive than the cost of a comparable conventional gasoline-powered vehicle? 2. Are the comparative costs likely to change over the next twenty years? 3. Do electric vehicles provide the same attributes as conventional cars, and if not, do the differences matter? 4. Will electric car owners be able to access the electricity needed to power their vehicles? This paper attempts to answer these four questions. There are two basic categories of electric vehicles—electric vehicles (BEVs), which run solely on the electric energy stored in the battery, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which operate on both a rechargeable battery and a gasoline-powered engine. With both types of vehicles, the...
