Sentences with phrase «electric potential between»

The nanogenerator relies on the triboelectric effect to harness energy from the changing electric potential between the pavement and a vehicle's wheels.

When Baughman's group connected twisted pairs of the fibers to a battery, they created an electric potential between the two strands, turning them into a supercapacitor, a device capable of storing electric charge.

Not exact matches

While rumors about a potential merger between the electric car maker and consumer electronics giant have swirled for years, a new Bloomberg report suggests that Tesla has recruited at least 150 employees from Apple — more than any other company, including competing car firms.

Despite financial concerns and a potential merger between the company and Tesla, an electric car manufacturer, the Governor said he's confident in the project.

Here he pinions his mosquitoes between tungsten electrodes to monitor the crackle of electric potential that fires in response to a love song.

During a thunderstorm, a buildup of electric potential difference — called voltage — between a cloud and the ground leads to a sudden, violent discharge of that electric energy in the form of lightning.

«One of the most important aspects of our finding is the significance of the electric potential difference between the film of interest and the apposing surface in initiating corrosion,» Kristiansen added.

In either case, a measurable electric field, called the Hall potential, is established between the two charged areas.

It has been found that the linear or non-linear nature of the relationship may be dependent upon the inter-relation between motor unit recruitment and motor unit firing frequency (Solomonow et al. 1989), with linearity being observed when full motor recruitment occurs before motor unit firing frequency occurs but non-linearity occurring when motor unit recruitment and motor unit firing frequency contribute together to the increases in electric potential difference within muscles and the subsequent increase in muscle force.

The presence of an electric potential difference in a muscle or in a single muscle fiber can be measured between pairs of electrodes as a voltage (in mV or μV).

The announcement also included hints of a «potential» three - way partnership between the two companies and Faraday Future, the start - up brand that plans to build its own line of electric vehicles.

A Minneapolis nonprofit has received a federal grant to study potential synergies between distributed solar and electric vehicle charging stations.

The interesting thing about the physics of plasma double layers is that they are regions defined by charge separation that enshroud matter immersed in a cell of plasma, and the electric potential drop occurs within the double layer itself, so if we have a solar source that is positively charged, for example, and an earth that is negatively charged, then the electric potential drop is not between the anodic sun and the cathodic earth themselves, but within the plasma double layer shrouding the earth from its plasma environment.
