Understanding Electric Car NOS to How it Works

AI Thread Summary
The discussion clarifies that a nitrous oxide system (NOS) is specific to combustion engines, enhancing speed by increasing oxygen for combustion. In contrast, electric cars do not use NOS, as they operate without combustion and do not require oxygen. The concept of turbocharging or supercharging does not apply to electric vehicles. The original question about NOS in electric cars is deemed irrelevant. The thread concludes with a clear distinction between combustion and electric vehicle technologies.

In combustion engines, there is the nitrous oxide system, which increases the speed of the car exponentially, while in the electric car I don't know what the turbocharged car would be, since I live in a country where most of the majority of the majority of the cars are combustion still.

Your question makes no sense. A nitrous oxide system is used in combustion engines to increase the amount of oxygen used in combustion. An electric motor doesn't require oxygen or a supercharger/turbocharger.

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
