In the battery you have two different groups of ions separated physically. On one side a group of positive ions, on the other side a group of negative ions. Those groups are connected to a conductor (the terminals). When another conductor comes and connects the two terminals then you get...
I remember now. Putting 4 electric motors parallel, all 4 will get equal amounts of current (current takes path of least resistance). So the differences in power of the cars is in the battery.
Do inductors produce an opposing force to a magnetic field moving through it? This area I forgot. I...
I see. So this Lotus car is 4-6 times more powerful because it has 4 motors rather than 1 like the Volt?
Why couldn't these makers harness the vehicle's momentum and turn that into electric energy too? I'm talking about while accelerating.
Hi. I've been planning to get an electric car around 2010 or after when most manufacturers will have cars out. After some searching I've seen Chevy will have their Volt which can go 40 miles on a charge. Mitsubishi is making one (the Colt) that will go 90 miles on a charge. I'm not sure of the...
