Electrical Powered Sports Car: Tesla Roadster

The Tesla Roadster's chassis is a heavily-modified version of the Lotus Elise chassis.

A electrical powered sport car from Tesla Roadster Motors. It runs on a three phase, four pole electric induction motor.


Tech Specs:
* Acceleration: zero to 60 in about 4 seconds
* Dimensions: 155.4 inches long, 73.7 inches wide, 44.4 inches tall with a 92.6-inch wheelbase
* Weight: 2,500 pounds (subject to change due to safety regulations)
* Top Speed: Over 130 mph
* Range: 250 miles EPA highway
* Battery Life: Useful battery life in excess of 100,000 miles


Unique features:
* A unique PIN to start the car and prevent hot-wiring
* A Homelink transceiver you can program to control radio-frequency controlled devices such as your community gate and garage door
* A dock connector for your iPod
* Electrically-controlled door handles (there's no mechanical lock, which makes it more difficult to break into the car)


This baby runs on 6,831 lithium-ion batteries, similar to those we used for laptops.


A full charge requires only 3.5 hours from completely dead batteries, and can cover a distance of 400 km on single fully charged batteries.

低潮

原本以为实习是非常好玩的一件事，可是出乎预料的，并没有想象中有趣。

 

每天早上630起床，730上班，中午12等吃，傍晚530放工，晚上7点吃饭，10点睡觉。睡眠自然不足！

 

加上我FYP还没拿去fabricate，让我的心更加不安。实习那里的senior告诉我，我的FYP supervisor一向给分数很低，又会再final presentation时拿它的学生开枪，叫我有心理准备。搞得我这几天心里忐忑不安！实习也没乐趣了！

 

在实习时，我是负责报告两项建筑工程的进度，每天都要写报告。原本是由一位engineer做的，可是他太忙了，于是supervisor就叫我分担。我每天到场地照相，那engineer也吩咐我要每天作报告，他有时也会到现场考察。这一个礼拜的报告都是我在做，可是今天发现在我存报告的folder，有另一个报告，内容大部分是抄袭我的报告。虽然我知道我做的报告时会经过那engineer，可是被抄袭的感觉就不太好受。

 

真得好希望能那一天假期，好好睡上一觉！整理整理思绪！为自己充一充电！

Online in the office

After 3 weeks of training at Ornasteel, I've learned that heavy industries are actually a very dangerous place for people to work at. Imagine 22 tons of steel coil fell on to your body. ouch...

These few days I finally have some time (and guts too!) to go online using the PC in the office. Out of 10 PC in the office, only 4 are able to online. But for engineers, we can only use 2.

Here are some picture that I've took as part of my work for construction work progress monitoring.

Part 2:

What is an Engineer ?

 

Form 5:

• Do all the maths and physics calculations
• It's a cool occupation
• Can earn a lot of $$$

University:

• Almost everything around us is built by engineers
• Consist of subjects that make my head burst
• Study almost EVERYTHING
• From fluid to solid structures
• From temperature to pressure
• Workshop to Computer Design
• AND I THOUGHT MECHANICAL ENGINEERS ARE SUPERMAN, THEY MUST KNOW EVERYTHING !!!
• Wat we learned has no practical use in our working days?

 

Practical (Mechanical Maintainance Department) :

• Dirty working environment
• Dangerous working environment:
• 20 tons of steel coil hanging just 2 meters above
• Exposure to Hydrocloric Acid
• Exposure to Alkaline (More corrosive than Acid)
• Heating temperature as high as 500 °C
• Overhead cranes moving everywhere, always look above when traveling within the factory
• 8 am to 530 pm working hours, with 1 hour lunch break
• 24-hour On Call, means u have to come for work at 3 am in the morning if there's any machine breakdown
• Solve any problems regarding the machines
• Replacing a spare part is complicated:
• Must find the lowest supplier that provides the same spare part
• Must work within the given budget, overbudget will led you to the manager room
• If a spare part is not available, design and fabrication is required
• WE USE THE THINGS WE LEARNED FROM UNIVERSITY (maybe for Maintainance Dept only)

Samy Vellu ditemuramah tentang program angkasawan negara.


Samy: "...Bagi saya, ini semua adalah satu pembaziran atas duit rakyat. Kita sepatutnya tidak hantar mereka ke bulan, tapi hantar mereka pergi matahari. Barulah USA, Russia, respect sama kita...."


Penemuramah: Tapi Dato' Seri, matahari kan panas. Macam mana mau pergi sana ?


Samy: Cit! itu pasal la u tara jadi mintri. Saya suda lebey 30 tahun jadi mintri, saya musti ada jalan penyelesaian. Kita jangan pergi siang, manyak panas. kita pigi malam, baru ada sujuuuuuk......
