Simple model for energy vs vehicle speed. Air resistance is the main cause expended energy per distance when driving at high steady speeds. [11] At higher speeds, wind resistance plays an increasing role in reducing fuel economy in automobiles. At 60km/h, the global average speed, energy loss due to air drag in fossil fuel cars is approximately ...
In late 2014, researchers from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory using the Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests (FACET) published proof of the viability of plasma acceleration technology. It was shown to be able to achieve 400 to 500 times higher energy transfer compared to a general linear accelerator design. [5] [6]
Instrumental convergence is the hypothetical tendency for most sufficiently intelligent, goal directed beings (human and non-human) to pursue similar sub-goals, even if their ultimate goals are quite different. [1] More precisely, agents (beings with agency) may pursue instrumental goals —goals which are made in pursuit of some particular end ...
ING Direct products in the UK included savings accounts, Cash ISAs, mortgages and home insurance. ING announced a plan to exit the UK in August 2012, as it sought to raise funds to repay the Dutch government. On 9 October 2012 Barclays announced that it had agreed to buy ING Direct UK, taking on its £10.9bn deposits and £5.6bn mortgage book ...
As the Fed rate rises, so do APYs on savings accounts, CDs and money market accounts — with today’s rates on the best high-yield savings accounts topping 5% APY.
A high-yield savings account — or an HYSA — is a type of deposit account that can earn you a higher rate of interest on your savings than with a traditional account. The rate of interest is ...
Accelerator-driven subcritical reactor. An accelerator-driven subcritical reactor (ADSR) is a nuclear reactor design formed by coupling a substantially subcritical nuclear reactor core with a high-energy proton or electron accelerator. It could use thorium as a fuel, which is more abundant than uranium. [1]
A mortgage accelerator loan can help you pay off your mortgage ahead of schedule, often through a line of credit or a biweekly payment setup. This type of loan might charge an annual fee and a ...
