Global Positioning System

GPS (Global Positioning System)  is a satellite-based route framework. It gives general setting-based data to a GPS collector, found anyplace on or close to the world's surface. GPS works in every climate condition if there is an  unobstructed line  correspondence with at least 4 GPS satellites. GPS is overseen by the US Air Force. A GPS works freely of the client's web association or phone signal. Notwithstanding, their quality expands the adequacy of GPS situating. GPS was at first evolved by the US government for military purposes, however, right now, anybody with a GPS recipient can get radio transmissions from GPS satellites. Note: At first, when GPS was produced for military use, there were 24 GPS satellites circling the earth at regular intervals at a tallness of 20, 180 km. 4 GPS satellites were situated in every one of the 6 circles with a 60-degree direction between one another. These orbital planes don't pivot regarding any star. Afterward, the number of satell...

EV Charging Station

An EV charging station is a piece of equipment that connects your EV to a power supply. Charging stations are fundamental for EVs, as they are what provide the “fuel” for the vehicle; just like gas stations do for conventional vehicles. How to use an EV Charging Station? In general, the majority (80%) of charging will take place at home, so it’s likely you will use a home charging point. For an at-home  charging station , you simply need to plug in your car. A  public charging station  would require more checks before using. You would need to: Determine the charging level  – You should aim to use either a level 2 or 3 charging station. Level 2 charging stations are, in general, readily available. Level 3 may be used, but are more expensive; better for when you need a quick top-up. Check the plug type  – This should not be an issue, as these are typically consistent across EVs; unless you have a Tesla and you would need to use Tesla’s superchargers. Check ...

Electric Vehicles - Revolution in Automobile Industries

The electric vehicle is a vehicle that runs on electricity alone. Such a vehicle does not contain an  internal combustion engine  like the other conventional vehicles. Instead, it employs an electric motor to run the wheels. These vehicles are becoming very popular nowadays. They are considered to be a promising solution for future transportation. The most common example is  Tesla . Main components of an Electric Vehicle (EV): The main components of an electric vehicle system are as below: Components of Electric Vehicle (Courtesy-Toyota) Electric Battery: Battery stores the electricity required to run the vehicle. The battery supplies an electric current to the motor. And thus, the vehicle runs. The higher the capacity of the battery the higher is the range of the electric vehicle. Most modern electric vehicles use Lithium-ion type batteries. These batteries have a higher energy density. It means they are capable of storing more energy. Inverter: battery stores the elec...

Cryptocurrency - Digital Currency

CRYPTOCURRENCY Cryptocurrency A cryptocurrency or crypto is  a virtual currency secured by cryptography.  It is designed to work as a medium of exchange, where individual ownership records are stored in a computerized database. Address:  Cryptocurrency coins are identified on the blockchain by unique addresses. You can think about the blockchain as a GPS and your cryptocurrency address as its targeted mailing address. Without an address, no coin is stored; the blockchain can’t confirm nor verify its existence. So, without a proper wallet address, you can’t own a coin. Altcoin:  Altcoin means all cryptocurrencies that aren’t Bitcoin (and in some contexts, Ether). The phrase is used matter-of-factly to describe various other cryptocurrencies.  Ethereum is currently the world’s largest altcoin. Bitcoin Maximalist:  Bitcoin Maximalist refers to a person who believes that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency of value. Blockchain:  Blockchain, which consists o...
