Electric Vehicles

 Day by day petrol price hike might have made us at least think about an Electric Vehicle. Most of us are really confused whether to own one or not due to many reasons like higher price, maintenance, lesser range, availability of charging stations etc. It is actually a technological wonder. Let us now see what are the advantages, challenges as well as disadvantages of owning an EV. EVs came into existence in mid-19th century. Electricity was only one among the preferred method of vehicle propulsion. Later, modern IC Engines dominated the sector. In 21st Century, highly efficient EVs which were capable of replacing IC engines were produced. The main advantage was its emission-less engines. Increased focus in renewable energy and to reduce climatic changes caused due to carbon emission was the main agenda for the EV developers. Nowadays, electric engines are capable enough to produce an equivalent power which an IC Engine can generate. Premium automotive brands like Mercedes, BMW, Po...

Working of true RMS meter

   In a DC amplifier, two thermocouples form the part of the bridge in the input circuit. The input voltage is then amplified and given to the thermocouple's heating element. The heat produced by the wire is sensed using a measuring thermocouple that will produce DC voltage proportional to it. The DC voltage upsets the bridge balance. DC amplifier, amplifies the unbalanced voltage and is given to the heating element. When these two thermocouples produce the same output voltage, the reestablishment of the bridge occurs. Now the feedback thermocouple’s heating element is proportional to the AC current within the input thermocouple i.e, the RMS value of input AC signal is proportional to the DC.         DC value is indicated by metre moment in the output circuitIn the output circuit, meter moment indicates the DC value. A frequent limitation of the utility of the RMS respond voltmeter for the measuring highly nonlinear wave forms        ...

ROBOTIC SURGERY

It has been nearly 20 years since the first appearance of robotics in the operating room. In that time, much progress has been made in integrating robotic technologies with surgical instrumentation, as evidenced by the many thousands of successful robot-assisted cases. However, to build on past success and to fully leverage the potential of surgical robotics in the future, it is essential to maximize a shared understanding and communication among surgeons, engineers, entrepreneurs, and healthcare administrators.  Surgical robotics is a new technology that holds significant promise. Robotic surgery is often heralded as the new revolution, and it is one of the most talked about subjects in surgery today. Up to this point in time, however, the drive to develop and obtain robotic devices has been largely driven by the market. There is no doubt that they will become an important tool in the surgical armamentarium, but the extent of their use is still evolving. A convincing illustration ...

THE NEURAL NETWORKS IN CONTROL SYSTEMS

 The ever-increasing technological demands of our modem society require innovative approaches to highly demanding control problems. Artificial neural networks with their massive parallelism and learning capabilities offer the promise of better solutions, at least to some problem.  Neural networks have the potential for very complicated behavior. They consist of many interconnected simple nonlinear systems, which are typically modeled by sigmoid functions. The massive interconnections of the rather simple neurons. which make up the human brain, provided the original motivation for the neural network models. The terms artijicial neural networks and connectionist models are typically used to distinguish them from the biological networks of neurons of living organisms.  Neural networks are characterized by their network topology-that is, by the number of interconnections, the node characteristics that are classified by the type of nonlinear elements used, and the kind of lear...

WHAT IF TITANOBOA (WORLD'S LARGEST SNAKE) DIDN'T GO EXTINCT!!!!!!

  60 million years  ago, following the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, giant snakes roamed the Americas. The biggest of these snakes was known as Titanoboa and it was just as terrifying as it sounds. Related to modern-day boa constrictors, Titanoboa was a monster. Thankfully, Titanoboa went extinct, but what if it didn’t? That’s exactly what we are going to talk about, right now on. Hello and welcome back to life’s biggest questions, the channel that asks the questions everyone else is too afraid to ask. A team of scientists found a Titanoboa fossil at an open-pit coal mine in Colombia. The Titanoboa makes modern-day anacondas look like toys. According to fossils, Titanoboa was 12.8 meters or 42 feet long and weighed about 1,100 kg or 2500 pounds. But because snake fossils are extremely hard to find, it's not completely out of the question that it could have grown to be even larger. Its believed that Titanoboa ate large turtles and crocodylomorphs, which were ...

Super Advanced Ancient Civilization Made These Perfect Stone Spheres?

 It’s hard work being an archaeologist, but you love that it takes you around the world. You’re always discovering new and fascinating architectural finds from civilization past, but nothing has prepared you for what youencounter in your current dig in Costa Rica.  One of the biggest mysteries possible in archeologyis how ancient civilizations could create something so big, so perfectly constructedthat it would seem impossible to make by human hands. That’s the mystery behind the massive stonespheres of Costa Rica.  Imagine a mysterious collection of over threehundred stone spheres, almost perfectly round, ranging from as small as a few centimetersin diameter to as wide as over eight feet at their center. The smallest ones are light enough that youcould probably play catch with them - if they weren’t priceless artifacts.
