should I get the Activa or the electric scooter?

While the Activa is cheaper, it costs more to run compared to electric scooters
A few years ago, most people looking for a scooter would have chosen the Honda Activa. However, given the plethora of electric scooters on offer, making a decision is not that easy. There are pros and cons to choosing to buy an Activa or an electric scooter.
To simplify the decision, focus on the cost part. These mainly include acquisition costs, fuel costs and maintenance costs. I won't discuss resale value as there are too many variables to consider. But in a general comparison between plastic-based EVs and metal-bodied Activas, it's easy to see which model lasts longer. Of course there are exceptions such as the all steel Bajaj Chetak.
Activa vs Electric Scooters - Cost of Acquisition.
For a budget of Rs 1.2 lakhs, you can save a lot by opting for Activa. The Activa 110 is available in Standard, DLX and H-Smart variants. Prices range from Rs 75,347 to Rs 81,348. It retails for around Rs 90,000, saving you Rs 30,000. This can be used to purchase accessories for the scooter. Or just use some cash to buy electronics, clothes, travel, and more. You can also invest your savings in stocks, FDs, etc.
   Popular e-scooter options for a budget of Rs 1.2 lakh include Ola S1 Air, Ola S1, Ather 450X, TVS iQube and iQube S, Bajaj Chetak and Hero Vida V1 Plus and V1 Pro. Buying the low-spec variants of these e-scooters might save you some money from your Rs 1.2 lakh budget.

For instance, the cheapest option is the Ola S1 Air priced at Rs 84,999. The Ather 450X is also a good deal at Rs 98,079. The effective price of the Vida V1 Plus is Rs 1.03 lakh. The TVS iQube starts at Rs 1.06 lakh. Prices for the Bajaj Chetak start at Rs 1.11 lakh.
  Activa vs Electric Scooters - Fuel Costs
Gas and electricity costs vary by state. In general, fuel costs for electric vehicles are much lower. In Delhi, petrol prices are around Rs 97 per liter. Assuming the Activa has an average fuel efficiency of around 50 km/l, the running cost is around Rs 1.9 per km. In comparison, electric scooters are much cheaper to run. For example, the Ola S1 Pro only costs 17 paise per kilometer. Obviously, you can save a lot of money with an electric scooter.

Angle beam transducers in ultrasonic testing.

Image
Angle beam transducers   :-Angle beam transducers and wedges are typically used to introduce a refrected shear wave into the test material. Transducer can be purchased in a variety of fixed angles or adjustable versions where the user determines the angles of incidence and refraction. In the fixed angle versions, the angle of refraction that is marked on the transducer is only accurate for a particular material,, which is usually steel. The angled sound path allows the sound beam to be reflected from the Blackwell to improve detectability of flaws in and around welded areas. They are also used to generate surface waves for use in detecting defects on the surface of component. Normal incident shear wave transducer: - are unique because they allow the introduction of shear waves directly into a test piece without the use of an angle beam wedge. Careful design has enabled manufacturing of transducers with minimal longitudinal wave contamination. The ratio of the longitudinal to sh...

Introduction of welding machine,

Introduction of welding machine, The history of welding machines dates back to the 19th century. Here is a brief overview of the development and evolution of welding machines: 1).     Carbon Arc Welding: In the late 1800s, Sir Humphry Davy discovered the process of carbon arc welding. This process involved creating an electric arc between a carbon electrode and the metal to be welded, resulting in the fusion of the metals. 2).     Resistance Welding: In the early 20th century, resistance welding became popular. This technique used electric current and pressure to bond metal parts together. Spot welding, seam welding, and flash welding are common methods of resistance welding. 3).    Arc Welding: The invention of arc welding in the early 20th century brought a major breakthrough in the field. This process involved using an electric arc struck between an electrode and the metal workpiece to create the necessary heat for melting and fusin...
