World production of lead—acid batteries in 1988, excluding the Eastern European central economy countries, has been estimated at 9.45 biUion. The automotive market was 6743 million or 211.6 million units. Industrial battery sales were 2082 million and consumer battery sales were 454 million. Motorcycle batteries accounted for an additional 170 million or 25 million units. Most batteries are produced in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan, but smaller numbers are produced worldwide. The breakdown in sales for the three production areas foUows. Automotive battery sales were 2304 million in the United States, 1805 in Western Europe, and 945 million in Japan. Industrial battery sales were 525 million in the United States, 993 million in Western Europe, and 266 million in Japan. Consumer battery sales were 104 million in the United States, 226 million in Japan, and 82 million in Western Europe. More than half of all motorcycle batteries are produced in Japan and Taiwan (1). 

Filter P per Processing. In the fabrication of fuel oil and air filters for vehicles such as motorcycles and diesel locomotives, heat processing of the filter paper is required to cure the resin (usually phenoHc) with which the paper (qv) is impregnated (see Phenolic resins). The cure-oven exhaust, which contains water vapor, alcohols, and dimers and trimers of phenol, produces a typical blue haze aerosol having a pungent odor. The concentration of organic substances in the exhaust is usually rather low.

For motorcycles and bicycles, the drag coefficient is not easy to define because the proper reference area is ambiguous. ITence, the drag is quoted in terms of the drag ai ea given by D/q, where q is the dynamic pressure q = / p, Vs. A typical drag area for a motorcycle and rider can be reduced by more than fifty percent by wrapping the motorcycle in a streamlined shell.

The shift to personal autos was slower in many European countries, where many of the population could not afford autos, and where the governments placed veiy high taxes on gasoline and automobiles. Bicycles, motorcycles and public transportation continued to be widely used in these countries. In addition to the economic factor, there was a cultural reason for Europe s slower embrace of the automobile. Europeans have long lived with high population density within finite borders. The United States of the 1940s was a far more rural nation, with sprawling farmland inside the borders of major cities. That autos took up lots of space in a city was an obvious drawback to the European mind, hut irrelevant in Texas. 

These bikes could be a wonderful transportation option, combining the efficiency, quiet and nonpollution of a bicycle with the ease of riding a small motorcycle. For these reasons, electric-assist bikes sell at the rate of over 200,000 per year in Japan. But in the United States, these bikes run up against a cultural barrier. Bicycle enthusiasts, who are less likely to object to their four-figure price tags, do not want a motor and do not want a bike that weighs 60 pounds. Others do not want to be seen riding to work. So U.S. sales have been poor.

In general, the range of reported experience supports the conventional wisdom. Rail is potentially the most efficient method of motorized passenger travel but bus is almost the equal of rail. Motorcycles are also quite efficient (and this assumes only the driver—motorcycles with passengers are the most energy-efficient vehicles of all). Automobiles and airlines do typically consume more energy per passenger-kilometer than rail.

The limiting reactant in a reaction is the reactant that governs the maximum yield of product. A limiting reactant is like a part in short supply in a motorcycle factory. Suppose there are eight wheels and seven motorcycle frames. Because each frame requires two wheels, there are enough wheels for only four motorcycles, so the wheels play the role of the limiting reactant. When all the wheels have been used, three frames remain unused, because they were present in excess.

Glassy amorphous polymers exhibit excellent dimensional stability and are frequently transparent. Everyday examples include atactic polystyrene, polycarbonate, and polymethylmethacrylate (Plexiglas ), which we encounter in such applications as bus shelters, motorcycle windshields, and compact disc cases. 

Other polymers, such as polycarbonate and polymethylmethacrylate, are hard, tough, and transparent. These materials are ideal for applications that are likely to experience severe impact. We find these polymers in bus shelters, motorcycle helmet visors, and jet fighter canopies. 

We take advantage of the shock absorbing characteristics of thermoplastic urethane rubbers in automotive, motorcycle, and bicycle suspensions and power transmission systems. Industrial shock absorbing applications include buffers for elevators and cranes. 

Beryllium metal is used as a window material for X-ray tubes (it has 17 times the transmittance of aluminum). Notwithstanding the high cost of the metal, it has been tested for use in high-performance sports equipment such as golf clubs, bicycles, and motorcycles.
