Inside your house, the electric charge moves in a large circuit, which is composed of many smaller circuits. One end of the circuit, the hot wire, leads to the power plant. The other end, called the neutral wire, leads to the ground. Because the hot wire connects to a high energy ...
What are heat pumps? Heat pumps are devices that transfer heat from one place to another. This system can be used to both heat or cool a home. Because heat pumps do not create heat, they generally use less energy than systems like furnaces. ...
Theignition system(Figure 6) produces a high-voltage electrical charge and transmits it to the spark plugs viaignition wires. The charge first flows to adistributor, which you can easily find under the hood of most cars. The distributor has one wire going in the center and four, six or e...

Electric power steering has slowly made its way to the forefront of automotive engineering, with some of the greatest performance cars on sale (Porsche especially) transitioning their steering systems into the electronic age
How Electric Cars Work How GM's Hy-wire Works How the Hydrogen Economy Works How much gasoline does the United States consume in one year? What speed should I drive to get maximum fuel efficiency? What is the difference between gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, etc.? What is the Strat...
If you own solar panels, or you’re on a time-of-use plan with your electric company (this is rare outside of California), then the numbers get fuzzier. We cover the details for solar in another article. But basically, you need to figure out how much of a heat pump’s energy use...
How does an electric jet engine work? How does Newton's second law apply to rocket propulsion? How much force can a rocket engine generate? How is a jet engine made? How powerful is the F1 rocket engine? How is the ISP of a rocket engine calculated?
Some mobile robots are controlled by remote — a human tells them what to do and when to do it. The remote control might communicate with the robot through an attached wire, or using radio or infrared signals. Remote robots are useful for exploring dangerous or inaccessible environments, such...
induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current...
