The Merits of When You Roll with a Hoverboard
Glidecraft is one of the most trusted brands in hoverboard, providing consumers with a safe and reliable product. Regardless of how well a particular item is marketed, however, consumers are constantly looking for a reason to buy them in the first place. So why in the world would you buy a self-balancing electric scooter a.k.a a hoverboard?
An eco-friendly form of transportation
Hoverboards run on a rechargeable battery, so it doesn't emit smoke, smog or any other forms of pollutants that usually come from oil and gasoline. So it not only takes you from one destination to another, but also ensure that you cut down on your carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emission. It's like riding a bike minus

Not to mention having it cleaned, checked and fixed, when the need arises. With a hoverboard, however, the most you will pay for maintenance is a damp cloth. Anything else is either a replacement or repair, which would still cost less than car parts and repair.
Inexpensive and affordable
Hoverboards cost extremely less than a bicycle or a vehicle. Even if you buy the most advanced self-balancing electric scooter, you still end up paying less than if you were to buy a second-hand car. Even hoverboards that are packed with features and extra add-ons would still be inexpensive. This is why you don't need to take out an auto loan, or make a special payment arrangements when you buy one. So you're practically getting more for less, what with an electric scooter’s numerous benefits.
Convenient to use and store
Without wheels or handlebars, you don't need to do much when using a hoverboard. Just find your balance and steer yourself to whichever direction you want. You don't need to do a kick start either, like you would with a skateboard. You can skip the parking area as well. Suffice to say that it is much more convenient to use than a car or
The machined rides caters to the crazy excitement turning, spinning and dipping to get you turned on without getting you turned over!
Ever wondered how roller coasters work? It’s not with an engine! Roller coasters rely on a motorized chain and a series of phenomena to keep them going. Phenomena are situations or facts that have been observed and proven to exist. A few types of phenomena that help rollercoasters are gravity, kinetic and potential energy, and inertia. Gravity pulls roller coasters along the track as they’re going downhill. Potential and kinetic energy help rollercoasters to ascend hills and gain enough momentum to descend them and finish the track. Inertia keeps passengers pressed towards the outside of a loop-the-loop and in their seat. Gravity, potential and kinetic energy, and inertia are three types of phenomena that can be observed by watching roller
With the opening of America’s first roller coaster in 1873, a new innovative market was introduced into the American industrial market. With it came a new set of challenges that pushed the limits of the engineering methods used at the time. Oddly enough though, America’s safest roller coaster ever built was also the simplest; the Mauch Chunk Railway was originally used to bring coal down the mountainside of a Pennsylvania mine. The now unused 2,322 feet of track was re-opened a few months later for the purpose of carrying passengers down the side of the mountain. The rail cars used did not have brakes or an engine; they simply used the force of gravity to take the train and its passengers, sometimes at speeds upwards of 60 miles per hour, down the side of the mountain until it came to a rest at the bottom. “The railway offered spectacular views of the Lehigh River and the Blue Ridge Mountains for the region's visitors to see. The area became a large Nineteenth Century tourist attraction and people came from all over to be thrilled by the M.C.R.” (Sandy). Throughout the ride’s 56-year span of passenger operation, not a single injury was reported. Since the ever-simplistic entertainment methods of the 1920’s, our industrial capabilities have grown in geometric proportions; however the one problem is they have been severely lagged by the safety and control systems that govern them. Recently, however, advancements in computer technology have yielded a drastic improvement in these control systems that have allowed ride designers to design increasingly safer and more reliable ride systems.
“The first type of skateboard was actually more like a scooter. These contraptions, which date back to the early 1950's featured roller skate wheels attached to a two by four. Often the wood had a milk crate nailed to it with handles sticking out for control” (Warwick Books, “The Concrete Wave”). The Skateboard came after the Surfboard which has been around forever and was one of the first extreme sports on flat ground. Many people got into this sport very quickly as it started in California and they’ve always had a
Electric Cars Buying a car is usually going to be the first big purchase a person will make in their life. It is actually considered the second biggest purchase, right behind buying a house. Cars can now do things like park themselves and even drive themselves. Electric cars are also a thing that is getting a lot of attention, and studies show that they will be what dominate our streets and highways in the near future. Many people turn to electric cars because they are very efficient in our pockets.
and are designed out of different materials like wood and steel. Although roller coasters are fun and exciting, the questions, what allows them to twist and turn, go up and down hills at a fairly good speed? Why do they not fall off of the track when it goes through a loop? The answer to these questions and others about roller coasters lies in the application of basic physics principals. These principals include potential and kinetic energy, gravity, velocity, projectile motion, centripetal acceleration, friction, and inertia.
Adventures in wakeboarding are limitless if you are willing to put in the time and effort to practice in order to perfect your technique. Also, it is critical to take the necessary precautions to protect yourself from preventable accidents as any water sport offers risks that can be fatal. While wakeboarding may initially seem like an intimidating endeavor, it can be a rewarding and highly enjoyable pastime. With the proper precautions and training, I am confident that you will find wakeboarding a great way to spend time with family and friends, to enjoy the outdoors, and to get some much needed
In conclusion, since the earliest versions of roller coasters sprang up in the 16th century they have been a staple of thrill and amusement for people of all ages. But, like anything else on this Earth, they are governed by a simple yet complex set of physics principles and concepts including kinetic and potential energy, g-forces,
“Even though roller coasters propel you through the air, shoot you through tunnels, and zip you down and around many hills and loops, they are quite safe and can prove to be a great way to get scared, feel that sinking feeling in your stomach, and still come out of it wanting to do it all over again (1).” Thanks to the manipulation of gravitational and centripetal forces humans have created one of the most exhilarating attractions. Even though new roller coasters are created continuously in the hope to create breathtaking and terrifying thrills, the fundamental principles of physics remain the same. A roller coaster consists of connected cars that move on tracks due to gravity and momentum. Believe it or not, an engine is not required for most of the ride. The only power source needed is used to get to the top first hill in order to obtain a powerful launch. Physics plays a huge part in the function of roller coasters. Gravity, potential and kinetic energy, centripetal forces, conservation of energy, friction, and acceleration are some of the concepts included.
A new model that is safe by the government’s standards is bound to come out any time soon. In February 2016, about the same time that the feds declared the hoverboards as completely unsafe, Amazon pulled out hoverboards for sale online, leaving only accessories, such as wheels and decals for sale. This sort of confirmed what the government thinks about the self-balancing scooter.
Segway could have also started by targeting niche markets initially, giving Segway PT’s to bicycle clubs, skateboarders, extreme sport stars, college polo teamsetc , for free and see how they like it. If, for instance, that bicycle people are the first people to like it, they could open rental offices by the bicycle shops so that it can be rented at tried before being bought. The bicycle shop could have also been used to service Segway PT’s.
In this case study I will be discussing advantages and disadvantages of electric cars. Electric cars are cars that are powered by electricity. Electric vehicles are an important part of cutting emissions and reducing global warming. The battery of an electric car stores electrical energy. The electric motor is coupled to the wheels through gears; it converts 59-60% of electrical energy into the wheels. The battery runs the motor which allows the car to move. Electric cars are necessary as they will save money, because electricity is cheaper than gas. Also electric vehicles will help reduce global warming and pollution. However, some people say that electric cars still have environmental costs. The electricity used to recharge EV batteries has to come from somewhere in the world, and now, most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels. Although electric vehicles are classified as green cars, purists will not appreciate the toxicity of the batteries.
Technology: Segway uses their patented design to produce a socially responsible (green product), environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Kamen is a proven innovator with a history of success in the development of human assistive devices.
Environmentally Friendly Electric vehicles are today’s zero-emission vehicles. They have no tailpipes and emit no pollutants. Instead of gasoline from oil refineries, electric vehicles get their “fuel” from electric power stations. Although power plants using fossil fuels do have emissions, power plant emissions generated for electric vehicle use are typically much lower than emissions from the comparable use of gasoline-powered cars. For power plants using renewable energy sources like wind, solar and hydropower, no air pollution is created.
Electric cars were recently introduced to the auto world. They are very fuel efficient while still having all the practicalities of a regular car. They are quiet and have zero emissions. They also are cheaper to maintain and cheaper to own then a gas powered car. Even though car enthusiasts dislike the idea of going fully electric, it is a very conscientious choice. Electric cars might seem like a useless form of transportation, but they offer features that help keep the Earth clean.
