Managing and Developing Innovation 2IntroductionEnergy demands across the globe have seen a sharp increase over the past decades following dueto rapid population and economic growth. This has seen many resources spent both in the domestic and industrial sector to maintain the high demand. The automobiles have become one such application that consumes a significant percentage of the energy. Still, automobiles have contributed to high levels of the footprint of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere following the combustion of the fuel used in propelling the engines[CITATION Ala151 \p 278 \l 1033 ]. As the population of the world tends to expand further, more and more cars are acquired by both privateindividual s, and public sectors are hence increasing the energy demands. Section 1: Concept DescriptionTitle: A Motor Driven VehicleThe idea behind the concept is to come up with a car that is propelled using a motor instead of any forms of fuel. The rotation of the motor is expected to rotate the camshaft and would eventually lead to the movement of the car. The use of a motor will act as a relief and a substitutefor fuel. This will eliminate costs related to fuel as well as lower the amount of pollution emitted into the atmosphere by burning of fossil fuels[CITATION Aus13 \p 311 \l 1033 ]. An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. Motors exist in various types even though they have common basic parts. The type of a motor determines the usage. Electric motors are either AC or DC. AC motors have a high degree of flexibility about most of its features among them speed control[CITATION Wil171 \p 145 \l 1033 ]. These motors have a large base of installation in comparison to DC motors. Among the advantages of the motors, include:

These motors are most useful in the driving of equipment, which requires constant speed thereby applied in high precision positioning devices including machines, robots, and instrumentation[CITATION Fou13 \p 231 \l 1033 ]. Asynchronous motors: Electric current is generated by electromagnetic induction that occurs in the magnetic field of the stator winding. These are the most commonly used type of AC motors.DC motors are relatively cheaper than AC motors but have higher power demands thereby leading higher maintenance costs. The speed of DC motors is controlled by altering the supply voltage and commonly use 12 and 24 V supply. Among the advantages of DC motors include:Simple installationHigh kick off torqueQuick starting, reversing, stopping and accelerationControl of speed over a broad rangeLinear speed-torque speedSection 2: Concept Analysis
