The document discusses several different types of generators and energy sources:
1. An electromagnet produces a magnetic field through the flow of electric current and is used in motors, generators, and other electrical devices.
2. A dynamo is an electrical generator that produces direct current using a commutator and was originally another name for generators, with some regional usage still referring to generators as dynamos.
3. A hydroelectric dam harnesses the potential energy of dammed water driving a turbine connected to a dynamo to generate electricity. The amount of energy depends on the water volume and head difference between the source and outflow.
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) augments an electric vehicle (EV) with a second source of power referred to as the alternative power unit (APU).
65. <ul><li>Fuel cell output power oriented control strategy based on FCE loading and unloading equations
66. similar to the fuel cell output power oriented control strategy as just mentioned above, but there has some new control characteristics as follows:
67. If cSOC > cSOC.t, the battery regulation power is zero and the battery actual output power is the power difference between Pd and Pf;
68. If cSOC≤ cSOC.t, the battery regulation charging power is considered and the target fuel cell power is the sum of driving power and charging power;
69. When the vehicle is braking, the fuel cell works at the minimum power and charges the battery pack with the regenerative braking;
70. The fuel cell engine works on nearly all of the driving time expect for the over high SOC battery pack and small driving power requirement at the first cold starting.
72. HYBRID MILEAGE TIPS<br />Drive slower - The aerodynamic drag on the car increases dramatically the faster you drive. For example, the drag force at 70 mph (113 kph) is about double that at 50 mph (81 kph). So, keeping your speed down can increase your mileage significantly. <br />Maintain a constant speed - Each time you speed up the car you use energy, some of which is wasted when you slow the car down again.

This document provides an overview of hybrid vehicles, including their history and evolution. It discusses how hybrids work by combining an internal combustion engine with an electric motor powered by batteries. The document outlines the components of hybrid vehicles and explains the benefits of hybrids such as improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions compared to conventional vehicles. Both the advantages and disadvantages of hybrid technology are presented.
A hybrid electric vehicle combines an electric motor with an internal combustion engine to improve fuel efficiency. There are two main types of hybrid configurations - parallel and series. In a parallel hybrid, both the engine and electric motor can power the wheels directly. In a series hybrid, the engine charges the battery which powers the electric motor to turn the wheels. Fuel cell hybrid vehicles use hydrogen to power an electric motor, providing emissions-free propulsion. Driving at a constant speed, avoiding abrupt stops, and driving more slowly can improve the fuel efficiency of any hybrid vehicle.
Rain water harvesting involves collecting and storing rainwater for beneficial use. It can be collected from rooftops or on land surfaces and stored in tanks, reservoirs, or recharged into groundwater. Properly implemented rooftop rainwater harvesting provides a sustainable water source, recharges groundwater, and has many environmental benefits. An effective system includes gutters and downpipes to collect water and direct it into a storage tank with filters to remove debris. Excess water can be recharged into the ground to further augment groundwater supplies.

Oil & Gas ICT Leader 2017 - Day 1 April 19th Ray Bugg
The industry is changing: against a challenging backdrop with a ‘lower for longer’ economic forecast, Oil & Gas companies are turning to technology to modernise and improve their operations. This transformation has seen IT repositioned as a core business technology, drawn from a background support function to a crucial centre of value creation and innovation. This tectonic shift places IT leaders in a vital position within their organisation, ensuring existing assets and emerging technology are effectively harnessed to deliver tangible business outcomes.
Cost reduction is still the primary mandate for most organisations, with ongoing efforts to strip back overheads and address key areas of inefficiency to cope with tightening budgetary restraints. But while the pursuit of ‘more for less’ has become a fundamental necessity, it is important that the strategy employs sufficient safeguards to avoid stifling long term progress. Organisations need to retain the personnel, the skills and the tools to ensure they still have the capacity to innovate.
One of the most prevalent trends of recent years has been a concerted move towards greater automation. Organisations are increasingly incorporating sensors, robotics and live data feeds to enhanced remote operations. But this digitisation of process is not just taking place in far flung fields; across the operation, digital technologies are being applied to enable improved visibility and insight. And data analytics is increasingly being used to evaluate asset performance, and enhance predictability, forecasting and decision making.
Whilst operators have made strides to address inefficiencies and create faster, more agile processes, there are still several barriers to progress. Organisations need to adapt their structure, break down internal silos and allow more cohesive and collaborative engagement. This collaboration also needs to extend to the wider supply chain and external partners across the industry. Skills and leadership is also a key barrier to progress, while cultural inertia still poses a problem for the industry and needs to be tackled head-on if digital transformation ambitions are to be achieved.
This conference will bring together IT leaders from across the world for knowledge exchange, thought leadership and collaboration. Now in its 4th year, the conference has established itself as the must-attend event for IT leaders working in Oil & Gas. The programme will explore the use of Information Technology in driving tangible business benefits, with topics spanning: data analytics, cloud, cyber security, automation, leadership and culture.
The document discusses opportunities in decarbonizing the electricity sector through investment in climate technology companies. Specifically, it notes three tailwinds driving this transition: 1) the rise of renewable energy sources like solar which are projected to make up 69% of Australia's electricity by 2030, 2) decentralization of the electricity grid through distributed energy resources like rooftop solar and batteries, and 3) increased demand for carbon offsets which could grow 15-100x by 2050. The document profiles several startups working in these areas and outlines how venture capital can help scale solutions to lower the cost of clean technologies.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Changing the Way
Communities Deal With Waste
Editor's Notes
We follow a three part development strategy:
click) We discover breakthrough new-energy materials by backing top scientific teams at the best universities
click) We apply computational processes to discover quickly
click) and we look for key acquisitions where we have an unfair advantage
Each of these provide our investors with (click) longer term revenue (click) medium term revenue and (click) short term revenue
(click) we have a significant pipeline of the longer term and medium term revenue flows already [which i can show you later]
but now [click] we are targeting to acquire Magenta because it is now vulnerable to takeover
The reason - Their key people know NanoHoldings - they know we are a premiere innovation company
and they know we have the platform they need
With financing - they’re joining us.
Garbage, or rather – the molecules within the garbage are valuable
MAGENTA’s proprietary technology - which NanoHoldings is raising the $550 MM in capital now to acquire - recovers those molecules,
and reforms them into its valuable components to then make electricity, water and building materials
And it does so in an environmentally friendly way……
Let me step you through how Magenta’s proprietary process reclaims the valuable molecules in garbage
has four stages
The molecular recovery process begins by shredding the garbage so recyclable metals can be removed.
The remaining waste then heads into the garbage conversion system
In the conversion chamber, the waste is heated - not burned as it is in an incinerator
The heating converts it into a gas made up of different molecules that have a high energy value.
The molecules in the garbage that have minimal energy value are melted down becoming an inert glass-like material
that is non-toxic and can be safely used as construction aggregate for adding to cement or asphalt
The molecules with high energy value that converted into the gas, rise up into the refinement chamber
Where they are broken apart into their simplest parts - hydrogen and carbon -
which are then combined with just the right amount of oxygen to make a clean FUEL GAS
This fuel gas is then sent to engines to make electricity.
These engines have ultra low emissions that are cleaner than the toughest regulations in the world.
This acquisition will provide an estimated 8x return in 5 years
