Are Solar Roadways Viable Technologies for the Future?

Solar roadway refers to road surfaces that are capable of generating electricity through photovoltaic solar power cells (Aggrawal, Mehta and Tiwari 161). One of the existing proposals involves the use of panels that encompass LED signage as well as solar panels that vehicles can be driven on. It is a concept that requires the replacement of roads, highways, sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots with the panels. The layers embedded with LED can be utilized for creating crosswalks and traffic warnings (Hartwig 1). Extra electricity can be used for charging electric vehicles or can be routed into the power grid. ...

QA answer Ohio court has the jurisdiction to handle this case but not Texas.

Autonomous cars

The emergent technology chosen by me is ‘Autonomous cars.” Description: Autonomous cars are driverless or self-driven cars which are an innovative and relatively newer form of technology. A few of them have been tested on roads and highways as a means of experiments for validating their success and safety (Fehrenbacher, 2016). While generally the roads are a place of immense traffic, there is great risk associated with a car driving without human intelligence behind the wheel which may cause an accident and loss of life. However, technology is planning to change this conception and move artificial intelligence to another ...

Political Order

In the history of man and his pursuit of power, there are various lines which enemies drew upon each other as they seek to make their points stand out. The twentieth century remains one of the most historic times for the end of major wars between men, paving the way for the future movements, rules, and guidelines. Political power among major nations led to the beginning of World War I and II, which led to the death of millions of people, leaving some of the nation’s poorer than before.

Abstract

The opposite relationship that exists between socioeconomic status (SES) and inappropriate behaviors such as the use of tobacco, physical inactivity and unhealthy nutrition have been well illustrated empirically but entails various underlying mechanisms. These mechanisms have certain theoretical significance because inconsistency in health behaviors unlike imbalance in many other constituents of health, usually involve something more than the capacity to spend income in order to purchase good health. In addition, these behaviors have an attribute that in most times makes them of special desire. They commonly involve more than not having the ability to buy goods and services that ...

In the history of philosophy, the problem of determinism and free will has always sparked a debate between philosophers who take opposing views on the issue. Determinism is a philosophical belief and thinking that assumes that all things which include human behavior are causally determined. On the other hand, free will is a philosophical idea that views things such as human will and behavior as free from causal determination. This topic in itself creates other issues that relate to morality and religion. On one hand, to believe in free simply does not in itself mean that human conduct is ...

Windmills have been widely used since thousands of years to pump water for agricultural purposes, propel ships and grind grains. As civilizations advanced, other convenient sources of energy replaced wind energy.

This is so true in the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. Besides the beautiful, simplistic imagery conveyed in the poem, Robert Frost urges the reader, to consider a risk versus reward approach to life, where the greater rewards come from the greater risks. Frost sets a scene for the reader, a fairly common experience, walking a path through an autumnal wood. “Two roads diverged in ...
