Harnessing energy while walking to charge your phone would be a new technological development. The world is seeking other alternative sources of energy, especially given the looming threat of water shortage which is a problem to hydro-electricity (Wang, et al, 2016). Hence, this product will reduce the over-reliance of electricity and phone batteries thus contributing to environmental sustainability. Capturing energy from human motion is a promising energy source as it reduces exploitation of resources, particularly because it avoids extreme energy consumption. Further, people achieve significant health benefits by walking rather than driving or riding in motorcycles. More so, the ...

Advancements in aircraft reciprocating engines

Introduction There is a misconception that because modern aircraft engines built by Lycoming, Continental and other companies have similar look to engines used in general aviation aircrafts of the 1970s, there have been no technological advancements in this field. Even though new engines haven’t changed much by outward appearances, aircraft reciprocating engine technologies have advanced dramatically in past two decades. The overall build quality of engine has greatly improved. Advancements in machining technologies and automatic manufacturing processes made it possible for aircraft engine makers to enhance machine’s durability. Many components of piston engines have been significantly improved, ...

In 2015, the Powerwall was launched by Tesla. The powerwall is a rechargeable lithium ion battery that can be mounted on the wall. Tesla manufactures the pack and module while the cells of the powerwall come from Panasonic. The powerwall can save electricity that was generated from solar panels. It gets energy from the utility grid while there are low rates (Muoio, 2016). The energy will then be stored for future use. Aside from this, the powerwall serves as backup source of power in case there would be power shortage. Many changes were already made by Tesla to improve ...

Part 1 – Assault and Battery

The terms “assault and battery” are often used together although these are two separate crimes. An assault is defined as an action that causes a person to feel the threat of impending violence. An action such as raising a fist or moving menacingly towards the intended victim constitutes an assault, even if no physical contact has occurred. The crime of battery occurs when there is physical contact. Grabbing a person’s arm or punching or striking a person constitutes a case of battery (Baldwin, 2007). Simple assault or battery, where there is limited threat of violence or a minor ...
