When you increase the throttle on your controller, what you are doing is increasing the amount of electrical power drawn from your power supply (i.e. battery) and fed to your motor via the ESC. If you want to slow down the motor, reduce power; If you want to speed up the motor, cr...
Typically the first action a criminal takes after identifying the vehicle is to look inside for valuables. To make your vehicle as little of a target as possible, make it very easy to look inside the vehicle. This means keeping your rear seats folded down when not in use. This simple step...
If you keep leaning forward, your brain will keep putting your legs forward to keep you upright. Instead of falling, you walk forward, one step at a time. The Segway does pretty much the same thing, except it has wheels instead of legs, a motor instead of muscles, a collection of...
By going with a hybrid setup, the main diesel engine can run at a constant speed, turning an electrical generator via driveshaft. The generator sends electrical power to a traction motor at each axle, which powers the wheels. The traction motors can produce adequate torque at any speed, from...
The seller has to release ownership of the car by signing the title. The buyer takes the signed title to the state office that handles car titles, often called the department of motor vehicles, or DMV. Some states might require additional paperwork to complete the process, such as a bill...
When the light turns green and it’s time to go, it’s helpful to look both ways before entering the intersection and slow down before approaching the corner if you’re making a turn. 8. Coming to a full stop at stop signs Stop signs are not “roll through” signs. It’s the law...
Traditional vehicles “coast” when you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. One-Pedal Driving uses the electric motor to capture energy from the vehicle’s motion to recharge the battery and quickly slow down the car. When you need to stop suddenly in an emergency, you should still ...
Bacterial chemotaxis requires bidirectional flagellar rotation at different rates. Rotation is driven by a flagellar motor, which is a supercomplex containing multiple rings. Architectural uncertainty regarding the cytoplasmic C-ring, or ‘switch’, limi
The electric motor changes electricity from the batteries into mechanical energy, the energy of movement. This is what causes the wheels of the car to turn.When a person is driving an electric car, he or she can speed up or slow down the car with the help of a controller. The ...
It would also have to provide power to four sets of wheels, which would add to the complexity. By going with a hybrid setup, the main diesel engine can run at a constant speed, turning an electrical generator via driveshaft. The generator sends electrical power to a traction motor at ...
