Energy & Dynamic Braking

Energy: you can't destroy it, but you can certainly waste it. That's what most motorized vehicles do, including trains. Usually, the energy generated when you stop a moving vehicle is dissipated as heat, and is lost to the atmosphere. With GE's ecomagination we've discovered that you can capture and store that energy, then reuse it - that's how our hybrid systems work. Watch the video to see a simple illustration of the physics behind dynamic braking. Keep in mind an object's force is measured in newtons, using the equation force = Mass x Acceleration.

GE talks about reusing energy. Yet in this non-relevant demonstration, they measure FORCE not ENERGY. Ke=mv^2

And by the way, dynamic braking is not new.

Yeah, this is beautiful and all, but they're not actually telling us *anything* about their fscking technology or how it actually works. We're just supposed to take their word for it?

Outstanding cinematography, but not a lot of meaningful content.

FUCK YOU GE & FUCK YOU OBAMA.

Que guapo el video xD

Methods of efficiency have only served to perpetuate human expansion by using science to eliminate immediate consequences of overpopulation.

The world would be a happier, cleaner place if there were four-billion less on it driving around in the 'gas-guzzling' vehicles of the 1950s. We're taught that our parents were evil . . . our parents were the ones who reused the same milk-bottles every day and only owned one vehicle; and yes, even rode trains.
