Who invented a system that used electric power rather than steam engines to run trains?
Basically it was Tom Edison.
The Motor of Electric Cars?
One of the reasons electric cars have risen in popularity is due to their motors. The motors of electric cars are powered by an electric motor rather than a gasoline engine. The motors of electric cars allow you to save money on gasoline and still accelerate at high speeds.
What does mains powered mean?
Something powered by household electricity rather than batteries
Why do the astronauts use an electric car on the moon?
I'm conjecturing, but if you mean why an electric car rather than a ordinary gasoline powered car. Burning gasoline requires oxygen and there is none on the moon. Also, carrying gasoline in a spacecraft would be heavy and dangerous.

Are the hyundai accent cars the new electric car that are enviromentally friendly?
"Hyundai Accent cars are not electrically powered, rather they run on the standard gasoline fuel injection system. Some of the newest electric cars include the Chevy Volt and some Volvos."
What is a jet aircraft?
An aircraft propelled by jet engines rather than piston engines.
Is as ha in nokia an android?
No, Nokia Asha isn't powered by Android rather than its powered by Symbian OS.
What emissions are primarily a problem with diesel engines rather than gasoline engines?
The emission of particles.
What energy are submarines powered by?
Up until the 1954 launch of the USS Nautilus(SSN-571), the world's first nuclear powered submarine, all submarines of the 20th Century were Diesel-Electric powered, meaning they ran on their diesel engines on the surface, and battery-powered electric motors when they were submerged. DE's are still in operation today, with submergence longevity far exceeding that of previous counterparts.For blue-water navies, nuclear power is the main power generation of choice, due to its time between refueling (years rather than weeks), tactical advantages (increased speeds and weapons/tactical capability), and crew habitation (continuous atmosphere regeneration, water availability, etc.). Most countries that either don't or cannot afford a strategic submarine element in their Navies maintain Diesel-Electric submarines on a small scale. The current battery technology has risen to the level where DE submarines can go for almost a month before the need to recharge.
Was the first automobile moved by a horse?
From auto- "self", and mobile, as the vehicle is powered by an engine rather than pulled by horses. An enclosed passenger vehicle powered by an engine.
How do you build a solar powered laptop?
Any normal laptop whose battery is recharged by a solar panel rather than a standard charger would be a solar powered laptop. Due to the limited amount of power available from light (from the Sun) with modern panels, compared to a computer's required input, it may be necessary to use a number of low-powered alternatives to conventional parts, and to avoid (energy inefficient) electric cooling systems when less energy-consuming alternatives are available.
