The Eight Types of Alternative Fuel There are different kinds of alternative fuels in the world at present. There are eight different types of alternative fuels which are Ethanol, Natural Gas, Propane, Hydrogen, Bio-Diesel, Electricity, Methanol and P-series. All these alternative fuels have different properties, different source used, and different vehicle's used and different impact on the environment and on the world. But one point to be noted is that even though they have different impact on

1 How difficult a challenge did Welch face in 1981. How effectively did he take charge? Welch encountered a very difficult situation in 1981; the economy was in a recession, almost one of the worst recessions any organization has witnessed since the Great Depression of 1929. The strong dollar was losing value and the unemployment rate was at an all time high. Interest rates were consistently on the incline during the time Welch took over as CEO of GE. Jack Welch was both a transformational

Study Case from Modern Banking by Shelagh Heffernan - Kidder Peabody Group – ‘‘But Leo’’, said Alan Horrvich, a third-year financial analyst at General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC) in September 1987: ‘‘I don’t know anything about investment banking. If I walk in there with a lot of amateurish ideas for what he ought to do with Kidder, Cathart will rip me apart. OK, you’re the boss, but why me?’’ ‘‘Look Alan’’, replied Mr Leo Halaran, Senior Vice-President, Finance of GECC:

For the uniform electric field between two large, parallel plates, we have 4.2 × 104 V/m. E = ®V/d = (220 V)/(5.2 × 10–3 m) = 6. For the uniform electric field between two large, parallel plates, we have E = ®V/d; 640 V/m = ®V/(11.0 × 10–3 m), which gives ®V = 7.04 V. 7. Because the total energy of the helium nucleus is conserved, we have ®KE + ®PE = 0; ®KE + q(VB – VA) = 0; 65.0 keV + (+ 2e)(VB – VA); which gives VB – VA = – 32.5 kV. 8. For the uniform electric field between two

The Resistor Cube Problem By: David Randall - VK4TDR 1 July 2006 It’s a relaxing Saturday afternoon at your local amateur radio club and you’re busy discussing the finer points of antenna theory with some friends. The next thing you know a fellow amateur interrupts you by throwing you a small neatly soldered resistor cube. This person then challenges you to find the resistance between any two diagonally opposite corners without using an ohmmeter. Problem: The resistor cube consists of 12

Electric Smile Five years ago I took my dentist’s recommendation and switched to an electric toothbrush. After experiencing the difference and electric toothbrush has had on my mouth I wouldn’t switch back for anything. Electric brushes make my mouth feel cleaner and have caused my dental check-ups to go much smoother. I haven’t had a cavity since I switched! Electric toothbrushes are basically like having a mini dental office cleaning every day. Though healthy teeth and gums are important and

Leadership program will also be discussed. This report will conclude with how the management of these processes contributes to the firm’s overall strategy. With its beginnings tracing back to Thomas Edison, General Electric (GE) was founded in 1892. It is the only company that was listed in the Dow Jones Industrial Index both in the late 1800’s and now. At the end of 2011, GE was #6 on the list of Fortune 100 companies with over $125 million in annual revenues. Headquartered

vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. This is an improvement over the electric car, which uses gasoline engine along with electric motor powered by batteries. In the series system of the hybrid car engine driven generator is employed to recharge the batteries while the electric motor drives the car. Where as in parallel system the heat engine is directly connected to the electric motor. The key to a hybrid car is that the gasoline engine can be much smaller than the
