Introduction
Cars are an essential part of daily transportation and comfort, but the ones fueled by fossil derivatives emit greenhouse gases and pollute the air. Electricity-based alternatives are an excellent solution for mass car use because there is no emission and they work on electricity only. The core idea of the project is designing an agricultural electric tractor fueled by an eco-friendly power source with an appealing look and design.
Main text
The main focus audience of the electric tractor is a farmer and any agricultural worker. However, it will be important to provide them with charging stations and collaborate with the government. Electric tractors will lessen the overall pollution, and there will be less poising of agricultural products by fumes. In addition, the tractors are not high-speed vehicles, which allows placing large batteries in it; thus, increasing its volume of work.
Recently, the development of inductive-capacitive machines, they combine the principles of operation of both mechanisms, but have not yet been in mass production and are not used as industrial converters. Based on these facts, inductive machines can most often be found. However, the Tesla cars partially operate on these mechanisms (Paterson et al. 1982). It is necessary to create a magnetic field in order to run these engines. It is formed in a smooth air gap that exists between the stator, a part of the structure that does not move, and a rotor, a moving part of the machine. Transforming energy, the units are able to launch into action a variety of mechanisms.
It is important to analyze and provide a demonstration of how the electric tractor will operate and the principles behind it. Electromechanical units that convert energy are used in various fields of human activity. The uniqueness of their action is that they can perform both the functions of engines, transforming electrical energy into mechanical energy and functions of generators, which is changing mechanical energy into electrical power. For example, Nissan Leaf can serve as an illustration of these ideas (Kulkarni et al. 1143). The principle of reversibility has made electric cars very popular. These technologies are applied for simple and complex mechanisms, to generate various types of energy. To concept is demonstrated in the picture below.
In everyday life and industry, tractors are simply indispensable, and they are constantly modernized and improved. With the invention of innovation, their cost is reduced, and quality indicators are developed, so these machines are becoming more and more accessible to consumers. However, these vehicles lack an outstanding design, which would make the agricultural industry and farming more appealing and market presentable. The proper conceptual design will lead to more popularity in the media and increased funding (Newman, p. 59). The main unique feature of the given electric tractor is an electromagnetic interaction that makes it possible to convert one type of energy into another. Chinese BYD companies are designing electric tractors by applying the given interactive forces (George and Besselink, p. 151). Electronic machines are inductive when a magnetic field is involved in a transformation, and capacitive when an electric field is included. The latter type of unit is used extremely rare because it has very large losses.
Since such mechanisms are used in almost all areas of human activity, they are constantly modernized, supplemented by new elements, and developed. Scientists create electric cars that run on ecological, nuclear, and natural fuels, for example, on wind and river energy. The main task of science today is to increase the quality characteristics of aggregates, simplify control mechanisms, improve efficiency and lower the cost of installations.
There are many advantages of electric tractors and cars overall, such as cost reduction, pollution decrease, less noise, and affordability. An electric vehicle is a great way to save on fuel. The cost of gasoline is gradually increasing, and often, fuel costs take up a large part of the family budget, and the energy bill for recharging batteries should be significantly less than these costs.
A running engine does not emit any harmful gases or other substances so that by itself it does not pollute the environment. The electricity production process needs to be considered and evaluated. Ideally, to minimize the environmental impact, it should be provided from clean and renewable energy sources. Therefore, the harmful substances are still released during the operation of an electric car, the only pollution occurs at the location of electricity production and not in the city.
Electric motors are quite capable of delivering quiet and smooth acceleration, and they also can give high levels of speed. Moreover, gone are the days when buying an electric car meant spending a fortune. A modern electric car can even be repaired by hand, and at the same time, this vehicle has a lower maintenance cost. There was a time when batteries were costly, but mass production decreased the price. The electric motor does not need lubrication, and it is not mandatory to visit the oil-maintenance stations as often as with gasoline-based engines.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the improvement of new technologies makes the tractors available to a wide range of farmers, and measures are taken to develop the overall maintenance and extend the machine’s lifecycle. It is convenient to use such mechanisms on an agricultural and industrial-scale since each of the types of engines has broad functionality.
