Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 and is an American automotive and energy storage company. This article will focus on how Tesla's Roadster electric motor works. The basics of the car are pretty standard and straightforward, but the intricate details are much more intriguing. It will also detail the key differences between an internal combustion engine and Tesla's electric motor. At just about the size of a watermelon, the motor converts electricity into mechanical power and also acts as a generator, turning mechanical power into electricity.

I hear about it all the time: planned obsolescence. People can't believe that their computer parts are already breaking and their iPhone started to slow down just days before the next generation of the phone was released. Your TV seems to be programmed to have bugs whenever the manufacturing company wants to push a new product. Companies break their own products to get you to buy more of the same product: light bulbs, phones, batteries, cars, microwaves, computer screens, and even your car key transponder will all stop operating eventually. Either the marketing team or the designers wanted it that way, right?

New tunable capacitors from STMicroelectronics are meant to optimize signal-power transfer between a smartphone's antenna and power amplifier. Other improvements include lower parasitic resistance and inductance, which boost efficiency and reduce heat dissipation, and a higher ESD rating for greater robustness.
