Kujutage ette elektri jõul toimivat liiklusvahendit, millega saate minna võib tööle või ükskõik kuhu 10 km raadiuses. See on kiire, ei pea istuma ummikutes ja ei kulu bensiini. Ja siis kujutage ette, et võtate selle kohale jõudes lihtsalt endaga kaasa. Tõepoolest, see tuunitud turborula võib radikaalset muuta igahommikust töölesõidurutiini.

Esitlen teile elektrilist liiklusvahendit
00:16
that weighskaalub lessvähem than a bicyclejalgratas,

mis kaalub vähem kui jalgratas
00:20
that you can carrykandma with you anywherekõikjal,

ja mida saab kõikjale kaasa võtta,
00:23
that you can chargetasu off a normalnormaalne wallsein outletväljalaskeava in 15 minutesminutit,
3
11888
4492
tavalisest pistikust 15 minutiga laadida
00:28
and you can runjooksma it for 1,000 kilometerskilomeetrit
4
16380
2248
ja sõita sellega 1000 km,
00:30
on about a dollardollar of electricityelektrit.
5
18628
2352
kulutades vaid 1 dollari eest elektrit.
00:32
But when I say the wordsõna electricelektriline vehiclesõiduki,
6
20980
2288
Elektriliste liiklusvahendite puhul
00:35
people think about vehiclessõidukid. They think about carsautod
7
23268
2888
mõeldakse kohe sõidukeid:
autosid, mootor- ja jalgrattaid,
00:38
and motorcyclesmootorrattad and bicyclesjalgrattad, and the vehiclessõidukid that you use everyigaüks day.
8
26156
3718
traditsioonilisi sõiduvahendeid.
00:41
But if you come about it from a differenterinevad perspectivevaatenurk,
9
29874
2296
Aga lähenedes asjale uuest küljest,
00:44
you can createloo some more interestinghuvitav,
10
32170
2302
saab luua hoopis huvitavamaid
00:46
more novelromaan conceptskontseptsioonid.
11
34472
2680
ja uudsemaid konseptsioone.
00:49
So we builtehitatud something.
12
37152
2256
Ühesõnaga, tegime valmis ühe asja.
00:51
I've got some of the piecestükid in my pockettaskus here.
13
39408
2694
Mul on mõned selle tükid siin taskus.
00:54
So this is the motormootor.
14
42102
2090
See siin on mootor.
00:56
This motormootor has enoughpiisav powervõimsus to take you
15
44192
1609
See mootor on piisava võimsusega,
00:57
up the hillsmäed of SanSan FranciscoFrancisco at about 20 milesmiili perper hourtund,
16
45801
3807
et San Fransisco nõlvadest
kiirusega 20 miili tunnis üles minna,
01:01
about 30 kilometerskilomeetrit an hourtund,
17
49608
1826
see on umbes 30 km/h.
01:03
and this batteryaku, this batteryaku right here
18
51434
4090
See aku, mis siin minu käes on,
01:07
has about sixkuus milesmiili of rangevahemikus, or 10 kilometerskilomeetrit,
19
55524
3948
peab vastu 6 miili ehk ligi 10 km.
mis on piisav, et saaks tehtud
01:11
whichmis is enoughpiisav to coverkatta about halfpool of the carauto tripsreisid
20
59472
2803
umbes pooled USAs
autoga sõidetavatest otstest.
01:14
in the U.S. aloneüksi.
21
62275
2397
01:16
But the bestparim partosaliselt about these componentskomponendid
22
64672
1779
Nende juppide puhul on parim see,
01:18
is that we boughtostetud them at a toymänguasi storepoodi.
23
66451
2197
et ostsime need mänguasjapoest.
01:20
These are from remotekaugjuhtimispult controlkontroll airplaneslennukid.
24
68648
2424
Need on mudellennuki jupid,
mis on nii tõhusad,
01:23
And the performancejõudlus of these things has gottensaanud so good
25
71072
2144
et kui sõidukitele avarama
pilguga vaataksite,
01:25
that if you think about vehiclessõidukid a little bitnatuke differentlyerinevalt,
26
73216
2296
01:27
you can really changemuutus things.
27
75512

saaks tõesti palju asju muuta.
01:29
So todaytäna we're going to shownäidata you one examplenäide
28

Täna näitame üht võimalust,
01:31
of how you can use this.
29

2077
kuidas seda saab kasutada.
01:33
PayMaksta attentiontähelepanu to not only how funlõbus this thing is,
30

Pange tähele, et see ei ole ainult lõbus
01:35
but alsoka how the portabilitykaasaskandmiseks that comestuleb with this
31
83888

vaid tänu oma kompaktsusele
01:38
can totallytäiesti changemuutus the way you interactsuhelda with a citylinn like SanSan FranciscoFrancisco.
32
86966

võib see oluliselt muuta teie

03:00
So we're going to shownäidata you what this thing can do.
39
168829
3293
Näitame, mida see asi teha suudab.
03:04
It's really maneuverablemanööverdusvõimega. You have a hand-heldkäes remotekaugjuhtimispult,
40
172122
2693
Sellel on hea manööverdusvõime,
selleks on juhtimispult,
03:06
so you can prettyilus easilylihtsalt controlkontroll accelerationkiirendus, brakingpidurdamine,
41
174815
3579
et saaks hõlpsasti reguleerida
kiirendust, pidurdamist,
03:10
go in reversetagurpidi if you like, alsoka have brakingpidurdamine.
42
178394
4329
või tagurdada, kui soovite,
ja ka pidurdada.
03:21
It's incredibleuskumatu just how lightvalgus this thing is.
43
189431
2057
Uskumatu, kui kerge see asi on,
03:23
I mean, this is something you can pickkorjama up and carrykandma with you
44
191488
2129
seda saab lihtsalt kaasa võtta,
03:25
anywherekõikjal you go.
45
193617
2936
ükskõik, kuhu lähete.
03:28
So I'll leavelahkuma you with one of the mostkõige rohkem compellingkaalukaid factsfaktid
46
196553
3176
Kõige vingem sellise tehnoloogia
ja selliste sõidukite juures on see,
03:31
about this technologytehnoloogia and these kindsliiki of vehiclessõidukid.
47
199729
2856
03:34
This useskasutab 20 timeskorda lessvähem energyenergia
48
202585
3392
et iga läbitud miili või kilomeetri kohta
kulutavad nad 20 korda
vähem energiat kui auto.
03:37
for everyigaüks milemiil or kilometerkilomeeter that you travelreisida than a carauto,
49
205977
3367
03:41
whichmis meanstähendab not only is this thing fastkiire to chargetasu
50
209344
3633
Mis tähendab, et
lisaks kiirele laadimisele
03:44
and really cheapodav to buildehitama,
51
212977
1689
ja odavale valmistamisele
03:46
but it alsoka reducesvähendab the footprintjalajälg of your energyenergia use
52
214666
3351
vähendab see ka energeetilist jalajälge
mille inimene oma liikumisega tekitab.
03:50
in termstingimustel of your transportationtransport.
53
218017
1635
03:51
So insteadselle asemel of looking at largesuur amountssummad of energyenergia neededvajalik
54
219652
2759
Selles asemel, et kulutada palju energiat,
03:54
for eachiga personinimene in this roomtuba to get around in a citylinn,
55
222411
2934
et kõik siinolijad saaksid linnas liikuda,
03:57
now you can look at much smallerväiksem amountssummad
56
225345
2120
saaks hakkama palju väiksema energiakuluga
03:59
and more sustainablejätkusuutlik transportationtransport.
57
227465
2440
ja oluliselt jätkusuutlikuma
transpordilahendusega.
04:01
So nextjärgmine time you think about a vehiclesõiduki,
58
229905
1362
Kui järgmine kord
mõtlete transpordivahendile,
04:03
I hopelootust, like us, you're thinkingmõtlesin about something newuus.
59
231267
3306
siis loodame, et mõtlete
uutmoodi, nagu meiegi.
04:06
Thank you.
60
234573
