electric car history kids image
keith c
I am doing a school project for my History class and we need to make a brochure for a time machine company and my decade is back to the 1970s and i need to come up with a good name and a good slogan to fit the decade and i cant think of one, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
The Flower Power machine? direct to San Francisco for a Jefferson Airplane concert? Don't you want somebody to Love???
Powered by 3.2% beer for 18 year old kids to buy?
The Bell-Bottom Jeans Express?
McGovern for President Super Train? (1972 election)
The Nixon Basher machine?
The Spiro Agnew Eliminator Machine? Maybe you could go BACK and rid society of this jerk?
The Viet Nam War "Victory" machine....ha ha ha.
The "Young Rolling Stones" Tour Bus...Concert touring machine?
Man, I am the Time machine from the 1970's. You should see my hair, my music collection, my clothing is still from High school...ha ha.
Write me from the profile page....we'll have some laughs.
Meanwhile, read the book, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Thomas Wolfe, 1968...it is a definitive diary of the mid 60's to mid 70's era. University protests, music, politics, drugs, the 'revolution', clothing, free love...etc.

SO SORRY...the Delorean car was made between 1981-83. I didn't buy one when I was 30!

Would you allow yourself to be connected to the internet through a wireless interface?
Cacaodoc
You would be susceptible to all things computers are susceptible to. But online communication would be as easy as thinking it.
What if?
Answer
The electronic revolution of the past century has been a tangled affair. Remember when phones were always wired into the wall? When the internet required one more cord from the back of your computer? Wireless is the future, which is all well and good for information transfer. But what about energy itself?
Intel powers a lightbulb, wire-free.
New research is bringing energy transfer into the wireless world. Soon, a central hub could be charging your batteries, laptop, televisions, electric cars, you name it⦠right through the air. You might never untangle a wire again. Cool, right?
Wireless energy is built on the principle of resonant coupling. The devices use copper coils that, if tuned to the same frequency, can resonate with one another. One coil is plugged into the wall, and creates an electromagnetic field; another coil nearby resonates with the first field, picking up some energy in the process to fuel your electronics. The magnetic field lets energy flow regardless of obstacles in the way, so the current can travel through walls. Currently, the type of radiation involved can only resonate within a few meters.
Over the past few years, a number of companies have been racing to put wireless energy on the market. Last week, researchers at Intel showcased a wirelessly charged iPod speaker. In 2007, researchers at MIT revealed a similar project that powered a lightbulb remotely. The physicist and project leader Marin Soljacic (winner of a MacArthur âgenius grantâ Fellowship) went on to found the start-up WiTricity, which is leading the pack in developing a commercially viable product.

The godfather of wireless energy transfer was Nikola Tesla, a brilliant and fascinating figure in the history of electrical engineering. In the late 1800â²s, Tesla showed that electromagnetic energy could be transferred wirelessly. He also postulated that some day, all of our electronics would be able to harvest energy that is naturally present in space. Thatâs probably a little further down Intelâs pipeline.
But wireless energy transfer is far from perfect. The coils still need to be shrunk down so they can be easily integrated into everyday electronics (unless you want giant metal rings all over your house). The distance limitation is a major hurdle, with the fields limited to a few meters at this point. The energy transfer isnât the most efficient process; MIT researchers transferred about 45% of the energy input, while Intelâs recent project showed an 80% transfer. That kind of energy loss poses a significant roadblock to the commercial viability of these technologies, as energy ainât free.

Everyone is racing to work out these kinks and become the first company to put something on the market. Intel hasnât announced any pipeline for their wireless tech; WiTricityâs business development guy claims that theyâll have something ready within 18 months. Regardless of who wins the race, Soljacic holds a patent on the research that started it all, which could let WiTricity play the old intellectual-property card. But what about Teslaâs grandkids?
Speaking of kids, wireless energy could help to make the household a safer place: no more wires for children to trip over, drop in the bathtub, or chew on. Okay, I donât have kids, but I imagine they cause all sorts of trouble with wires.
Sci-fi depictions of the future always riff on how the technology will be fueled. I always loved the idea of the future being powered through the giant steam ducts hidden behind every wall in Terry Gilliamâs Brazil. The 80â²s and 90â²s made an insurmountable tangle of wires seem like a more likely scenario. But now, wirelessness prevails. And if Tesla was right, maybe we can even lose the wall outlet.
