The Tesla Roadster Battery System Tesla Motors August 16, 2006 By Gene Berdichevsky, Kurt Kelty, JB Straubel and Erik Toomre Summary This paper provides details about the design of the Tesla Roadster’s lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack (otherwise known as the ESS, or Energy Storage System) with a particular focus on the multiple safety systems, both passive and active, that are incorporated into the pack. This battery pack has been under development and refinement for over three years and

EFFECT OF KAOLIN ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYPROPYLENE/ POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITE MATERIAL Samir Nassaf Mustafa ABSTRACT :- In this work, the mechanical and water absorption properties of polymer blend polypropylene (PP) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) at constant ratio (50/50) composites as a function of kaolin powder weight content in the grain size (100,120 µm) were investigated. Polymer composite was fabricated by mixing polymer blend ( PPLDPE) with (0, 1, 3 ,5, 10, 14) wt.% of kaolin

Deforestation of the Amazon: Causes, Effects and Possible Solutions NAME Geography 101, Section 040 PROFESSOR 6 December 2012 Abstract This paper explores the causes, effects and possible solutions of the deforestation of the Amazon Forest. It is important to understand why more than 580,000 square kilometers of Amazon forest has been destroyed in Brazil since 1980 (Rhett Butler 2012). The main topics of this paper, in order to fully explore the issue at hand, will include:

Assignment One Introduction Value. What it? What does it mean to people? And more importantly how do you get it? These seem to be the questions that everyone is trying to explain except that there really doesn’t seem to be a one true answer. The definition of value in general seems to be agreed upon, that it is: “the worth of the economic, technical, service, and social benefits a customer firm receives in exchange for the price it pays for a market offering” (Anderson et al, 1993). Is Value something

Brooke Lee Ms. Swindell English 4 20 October, 2014 Global Warming In order to successfully understand how hazardous global warming is you must fully understand the way it affects us. It is crucial to know that it is not only killing our environment but also our health. This can event in several severe consequences if we do not stop global warming soon our health will truly suffer the consequences. Global warming is steadily increasing over the years causing the years to become increasing warmer.

ABSTRACT Present day scenario of Delhi in terms of air pollution is undermining and is predicted to continue growing on that front. The air quality, in-fact, is the worst of all the major cities in the world. One of the reasons for the suffering air quality is Vehicular Pollution which is mainly due to the fuels. This paper mainly intensifies on the use of CNG instead of Petroleum-based fuels like petrol and diesel. It compares all of the above with respect to pollution control as well as the expenses

Hazard identification, risk assessment & risk control in the workplace Purpose To provide guidance to employers in relation to hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control in the workplace. What is hazard identification, risk assessment, risk control? Hazard identification is the process used to identify all the possible situations in the workplace where people may be exposed to injury, illness or disease. "Find it" Risk assessment is the process used to determine the likelihood

Overview The movement of millions of passengers over distances thought impossible decades ago is symbolic of the modern air transportation era that is characterized by speed, comfort and personal convenience. The commerce of aviation, both the operation of commercial aircraft for profit and the development of aeronautical systems, is also an important symbol of national prestige and a powerful economic force. Safety in air transportation is therefore a matter of significant national importance.

Vidallon, Mark Louis P. Date Performed: February 20, 2012 CHEM44.1 2L Date Submitted: March 12, 2012 MIXED-ALDOL CONDENSATION Synthesis of Cinnamaldehyde I. Introduction Cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic aldehyde or 3-phenyl-2-propenal is the major constituent of cinnamon oil, extracted from several species of Cinnamomum (C. verum, C. burmanii, C. cassia), under the family Lauraceae, a group of evergreen trees. Cinnamon bark (particularly C. verum) yields 0.4-0.8% oil, which contains 60-80% cinnamaldehyde

Since I often find myself paralysed in thought, I decided it would be better to hurl these ramblings out into the maelstrom of the internet than retain them within my own head. Then, like a warped father figure, I could watch them struggle to survive, stumbling on thin, wavering legs, before falling underneath the onslaught of memes and photoshopped cat pictures, the undisputed overlords of the world wide web. I presume everyone has those days where instead of actually moving from their bed, or
