Battery operated electric two wheeler

A TWO-WHEELER which runs on electricity was launched in Bangalore on Friday. It can seat two persons and costs Rs 25,000.

Eko-Cosmic, the battery-operated electric two-wheeler can run for 50 km on a single charge and costs Rs 3 for every new charge.

"Cosmic costs only Rs 3 per 50 km and can run at a maximum speed of 40 km," Mr Anil Ananthakrishna, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eko Vehicles Pvt Ltd, which makes these vehicles told Business Line.

The company had in the early eighties launched the country's first electric two-wheeler Vidyut 150.

The vehicle did not however, become popular and its sales dried up.

Mr Ananthakrishna said the vehicle's gel battery has been fully sealed and needs no maintenance.
The vehicles come with a charger, which can be plugged into any of the electric points and needs four hours for full recharge.

The life of a battery is around five years. The company is also setting up rapid battery chargers at several places in the city so as to recharge to full capacity within 10 minutes.

The Karnataka Government has given the manufacturer road tax exemption and is in the process of giving sales tax exemption too.

Mr Ananthakrishna said the neodynmium iron boron permanent magnet brushless DC hub motor has been integrated into the rear wheel.

He said whenever the brakes are applied, the motor switches off by itself and restarts as soon as the vehicle is given the acceleration.

Mr Ananthakrishna said the company has already sold 18 lakh vehicles in Finland and China.

The total cost of the project was $2.2 million (around Rs 10 crore). He said a lithium-ion battery can increase the range to 100 km. However, the cost of the vehicle would shoot up by nearly Rs 30,000.

"Once the volume picks up, the price of the vehicle too would come down," he said. The company expects to sell nearly 1 lakh of Eko-Cosmic within a year. The two-wheeler is available in two models.

Mr Ananthakrishna said he has also offered the Karnataka Government to run electric three-wheeler autorickshaws on a rental basis to popularise the concept.

The company plans to manufacture Omni-type four-wheeler cars, which can cost up to Rs 1.5 lakh sometime later next year

new job

Today I got a new job as a yoga instructor near by my home. How did I get that job? Well, one of my co-students at my music class is an instructor at this center and she asked me if I could teach yoga for her class. I am very happy and thrilled about this. From tomorrow, I have to get up real early and have to go to the classes. I am hoping that it would be a nice teaching experience for around 150 people. Best of all, I am doing this as a service and not expecting anything out of it, which makes this experience even more enjoyable.

Ansoo to ek bahana hai , dard ko dikhane ka,
jindagi to ek fasana hai, khud ko samjane ka,
khusi to ek tarana hai, har pal ko gane ka,
hoth to ek khajana hai, harwaqt muskurane ka,
jindagi ho gai hai las, na kasoor hai jamane ka....

I am Happy today

: Today I met one of my music teacherS who used to teach me Carnatic music when I was in my native. She came with her family to our place after a transfer. She is one of five music teachers from whom I learnt music. She was in Tarikere for three years. Later they got transferred to Patna. After that we lost touch All of sudden today she called me on my mobile phone. I was wondering who could this be. When I heard her voice I recognised her. After that a long chit chat, she invited me to her house. I cant go because she is in Mysore. Surely I will meet her soon. I want to learn many Kirthan's from her. So very much happy today.

Will This happen ?

Year : 2040
Place: Two Americans at IBM, USA.

Currency Conversion Rate: Rs. 1/- = $ 100/-.

Alex : Hi John, you didn't come yesterday to office?
John : Yeah, I was in Indian Embassy for stamping.

Alex : Oh really, what happened, I heard that nowadays it has become very
strict
John : Yeah, but I managed to get it.

Alex : How long it took to get it stamped?
John : Oh, it was nasty man, long queue. Bill Gates was standing in front
of me and they played with him like anything. Thats why it got delayed. I
went there at 2 am itself and waited and returned by 4pm.

Alex : Really? In India, it is a matter of an hour to get stamped for USA
John : Yeah, but that is because who in India will be interested in coming
to USA man , their economy has been booming.

Alex : So, when are you leaving?
John : Anytime, after receiving my tickets from the client in India and you
know, I will be getting a chance to fly Air-India. Sort of dream come true.

Alex : How long are you going to stay in India.
John : What do you mean by how long. I will be settled in India, my company
has promised me that they will process my Hara Patta.(green card)

Alex : Really, lucky person man, it is very difficult to get a Hara Patta
in India.
John : Yeah, thats why, I am planning to marry an Indian girl there.

Alex : But you can find lots of US girls in Calcutta, Bangalore, Mysore,
Ahmedabad and Mumbai.
John : But, I prefer Indian girls because they are beautiful and cultured.

Alex : Where did you get the offer, Mysore?
John : Yeah, Very happy to work in Mysore, where Softwrae Legend NR
Narayanamurthy born & broughtup, Definitely, salary is good there, but cost
of living is quite high, it is Rs. 1000/- for a single room accommodation.

Alex : I see, that's too much for US ! people, Rs.1/- =$100/-. Oh God! what
about in Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Calcutta and Mumbai.?
John : No idea, but it is less than what we have in Mysore. It is like the
world headquarters of Software.

Alex : I heard, almost all the Indians are having one personal Robot for
help.
John : You can get a BMW car for Rs. 5000/-, and a personal Robot for less
than Rs. 7500/-. But my dream is to purchase Ambassador, which costs
Rs.200000/- but has got a sexy design.

Aex : By the way, who is your client?
John : Chokshi Associates, a pure Indian company,specializing in Embedded
Software.

Alex : Oh, really, lucky to work in a pure Indian company. They are really
intelligent and unlike American Bodyshoppers who have opened their
Fly-by-night

outfits in India. Indian companies pay you in full even when you are on
bench. My friend Paul Allen, it seems, used his bench time to visit Bihar,
the most livable place in India, probably world. Nothing to say about
GARBAS of Gujarat. There you have full freedom and no restrictions.You can
do whatever you want! I wonder how that state has perfected that system.

John : Yeah man, you are right. I hope our America also follows their
footsteps.

Alex : How are you going to cope with their language?
John : Why not? From my school days I have been learning Hindi as my first
language here at New York. At the Consulate they tested my proficiency in
Hindi and were quite impressed by my cent percent score in TOHIL i.e.Test
of Hindi as International Language.

Alex : So, you are going to have fun there.
John : Yeah, I will be travelling in the world's fastest train, world's
largest theme park, and the famous Bollywood where you can see actors
like,Hrithik,Govinda and all. Esselworld is also near to Bollywood.

Alex : You know, the PM is scheduled to visit! US next year, he may then
relax the number of visas.
John : That's true. Last month, Narayanamurthy visited White House and
donated Rs. 2000/- for infrastructure development at Silicon Valley and has
promised more if we follow the model of High-Tech City of Hyderabad. Bill
Gates also got a chance of meeting him. Very lucky person.

Alex : But, Indian government is planning to split Narayanamurthy's
Infosys.
John : He is a hard worker man, he can build any number of Infosys like
this. Every minute he is getting Rs. 1000/-. It seems,if you keep all his
money converted as Rs. 100/- notes you can reach Pluto.

Alex : OK, Good Luck John.
John : Same to you Alex. And don't go to Consulate in a "Kurta Pyjama"
because they will think you are too Indianised and may doubt you will never
come back and hence your Non-Immigrant Visa may get rejected. But don't
forget to say "Namaste, aap kaise hai" to the Visa officer at Window 5.

It seems he likes that and will not give you a visa if you don't greet him
that way.

Laugh a while

INTERVIEW

Subj: electrical engg

People come up with peculiar or funny answers in interviews or exams:

Interviewer: Why is a thicker conductor necessary to carry a current in A.C. as compared to D.C. ?

Candidate: An AC current goes up and down (drawing a sinusoid) and requires more space inside the wire, so the wire has to be thicker.

Interviewer: How will you tell if that wall outlet carries AC or DC?
Candidate: I will put my finger in. If it is pushed away, it is DC. If it gets stuck, it was AC.
Interviewer: How will you reverse direction of an induction motor?
Candidate: I will remove the four bolts at the base, turn the motor around, and put back the bolts.

Interviewer: How do you start a synchronous motor?
Candidate: Vrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (i n rising pitch)
Interviewer: Stop! Stop!
Candidate: rrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (i n falling pitch)

Interviewer: How do you limit surge current within an integrated circuit?
Candidate: By using a miniature circuit breaker.

External (to student) : " Why does a capacitor block DC but allow AC to pass through ?
Student: See, a capacitor is like this ---| |--- , OK. DC Comes straight, like this ----------, and the capacitor stops it. But AC,goes UP, DOWN, Up DOWN and jumps right over the capacitor!"

Examiner : "What is a step-up transformer?"
Student : "A transformer that is put on top of electric poles."
Examiner (smiling): "And then what is a step-down transformer?"
Student (hesitantly):"Uh - A transfomer that is put in the basement or in a pit?"
Examiner (pouncing): "Then what do you call a transformer that is installed on the ground?"
(student knows he is caught -- can't answer)
Examiner (impatiently): "Well?"
Student (triumphantly): "A stepless transformer, sir!"
