In the US, the Electric Boat Company was founded in 1899 and built the first submarine purchased by the U. S. Navy in 1900.

The Electric Boat Company eventually became General Dynamics Corporation in 1952.

The use of electricity alone to power boats stagnated apart from their outboard use as trolling motors until the Duffy Electric Boat Company of California started mass producing small electric craft in 1968.

It wasn't until the 1980s that the Electric Boat Association was formed and solar powered boats started to emerge.

See the Mary Gordon Electric Boat for example.

The May 2010 edition of Classic Boat magazine carried a pro and con article entitled Electric debate.

Jamie Campbell argued against electric boating on four main counts, which were rebuffed by Kevin Desmond and Ian Rutter of the Electric Boat Association.

The General Dynamics Electric Boat ( GDEB ) is a division of General Dynamics Corporation.

The company was founded in 1899 by Isaac Rice as the Electric Boat Company to build John Philip Holland's submersible designs, which were developed at Lewis Nixon's Crescent Shipyard, located in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Many foreign governments were interested in John Holland's latest submarine designs, and began purchasing the rights to build them under licensing contracts through the Electric Boat Company.

The firm renamed itself General Dynamics Corporation in 1952, and when Convair was acquired the next year, the holding company assumed the " General Dynamics " name, with the submarine building operation retaining the " Electric Boat " name.

Electric Boat built the first nuclear submarine,, which was launched in January 1954, and the first ballistic missile submarine,, in 1959, amongst others.

Submarines of the Ohio -, Los Angeles -, Seawolf-and Virginia-class submarines were also constructed by Electric Boat.

In 2002, Electric Boat conducted preservation work on the world's first nuclear powered craft, USS Nautilus, preparing her for her berth at the U. S. Navy Submarine Force Library and Museum in Groton, Connecticut, where she now resides as a museum.

Electric Boat built the ballistic missile submarines and submarines as well as others.

Among the more familiar plans for dual-channel advancement is that of General Electric.

One of the most significant advancements in design of plastics signs is the so-called trans-illuminated billboard, now being produced by several large sign manufacturers such as Advance Neon Sign Co., Los Angeles, and Industrial Electric Inc., New Orleans, La..

The paradox implicit in the whole affair is shown by the demand of the government, after the conviction, that General Electric sign a wide-open consent decree that it would not reduce prices so low as to compete seriously with its fellows.

When AA was ported to the English Electric KDF9 computer, the character set was changed to ISO and that compiler has been recovered from an old paper tape by the Edinburgh Computer History Project and is available online, as is a high-quality scan of the original Edinburgh version of the Atlas Autocode manual.

The area north of the bridge is Akihabara Electric Town.

It is the sequel to Blade Runner 2: The Edge of Human, which was a sequel to Ridley Scott's 1982 film Blade Runner, and the book on which the film was based, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ?.

Blade Runner 2: The Edge of Human ( 1995 ) is a novel by K. W. Jeter, and a continuation of both the film Blade Runner, and the novel upon which it was based, Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

* The character of John Isidore, and his " pet hospital ", is taken from Dick's original novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ?, although that book contained no suggestion that the shop ran a sideline in modifying replicants.

* The idea of replicant models being mass-produced, and in particular a woman identical to Rachael existing, is also from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

The film Blade Runner ( 1982 ), adapted from Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ?, is set in 2019 in a dystopian future in which manufactured beings called replicants are slaves used on space colonies and are legal prey on Earth to various bounty hunters who " retire " ( kill ) them.

Electric current is a flow of electric charge through a conductive medium.

Electric current is measured using an ammeter.

Electric current can be directly measured with a galvanometer, but this method involves breaking the electrical circuit, which is sometimes inconvenient.

* Electric power transmission in big citiesIt is difficult to transmit power by overhead cables in big cities, so underground cables are used.

The Compactron is a 12-pin vacuum tube family introduced in 1961 by General Electric in Owensboro, Kentucky to compete with transistorized electronics during the solid state transition.

Electric charge is a property of certain subatomic particles, which gives rise to and interacts with the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature.

Electric potential is a scalar quantity, that is, it has only magnitude and not direction.

Electric motors can be run as generators and vice versa, although this is not always practical.

Erin Brockovich-Ellis ( born June 22, 1960 ) is an American legal clerk and environmental activist who, despite the lack of a formal law school education, or any legal education, was instrumental in constructing a case against the Pacific Gas and Electric Company ( PG & E ) of California in 1993.

Brockovich's work in bringing litigation against Pacific Gas and Electric is the focus of the 2000 feature film, Erin Brockovich, starring Julia Roberts in the title role.

Electric charge is a physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when near other electrically charged matter.

Electric charge is a characteristic property of many subatomic particles.
