My article in the Automobiles section on Friday addressed the question of electric-vehicle greenhouse-gas emissions.
Much of his work at the patent office related to questions about transmission of electric signals and electrical-mechanical synchronization of time, two technical problems that show up conspicuously in the thought experiments that eventually led Einstein to his radical conclusions about the nature of light and the fundamental connection between space and time.
One of the most common questions asked of electric-vehicle manufacturers is what happens to battery packs at the end of their use cycle in a vehicle.
The point of difference between this report and the other is only on the question of what aspect of electric field is the key.
Apparently the baby in question is some sort of electric homunculus, requiring food, care, and water to survive and you must feed it and care for it like you would Nintendogs or My First Intestinal Parasite, two other exciting DS games in the same vein.
But for ordinary people willing to swallow the high price tag (nearly $33,000 for the Leaf in the United States), plenty of questions about electric cars remain.
There are also many questions about the environmental benefits of electric cars, given China's reliance on coal.Electric vehicles drive down carbon emissions best if they are charged at night with wind or other forms of renewable energy, but this is not currently possible in China.
And there is the question of critical mass for electric car technology: apparently only 950 cars fitted with Better Place's replaceable battery technology — the core of the business — were sold since 2012 (it looks like the only carmaker to sign on with Better Place was Renault).
The question whether an electric or a non-electric system should be preferred for the recuperation of energy is not straightforward as there are multiple aspects to be taken into account.
But this is how Siri handles the question: Q. Do androids dream of electric sheep? A. I found three livestock services a little ways from you.
The occurrence of post-midnight L-band scintillation events which are not linked to pre-midnight scintillation observations raises fundamental question on the mechanism and source of electric fields driving the plasma depletion under conditions of very low background electron density.
