You might have been wondering how electrons can continuously flow in a uniform direction through wires without the benefit of these hypothetical electron Sources and Destinations. In order for the Source-and-Destination scheme to work, both would have to have an infinite capacity for electrons in order to sustain a continuous flow! Using the marble-and-tube analogy, the marble source and marble destination buckets would have to be infinitely large to contain enough marble capacity for a "flow" of marbles to be sustained. |

The Vital Information Management System (VIMS) is a state-of-the-art onboard system with the following features: - Machine systems are monitored for the operator.
- Payload productivity information is measured by the system and stored in onboard memory.

As mentioned on previous article, protons and neutrons are tightly bound but electrons have tendency to leave. The electrons of different types of atoms have different degrees of freedom to move around. With some types of materials, such as metals, the outermost electrons in the atoms are loosely bound. Because of it electrons are free to leave their respective atoms and float around in the space between adjacent atoms; they are often called free electrons

Caterpillar ARC |
|

The Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) has 2 main functions. First is to modulate the retarding (braking) of the machine while the machine is travelling downgrade. So, that the ARC allows operator to be more concentration on steering and shifting of the machine. The operator does not need to adjust the retarder control lever.

Experimentation has since revealed that all objects are composed of extremely small "building-blocks" known as atoms, and that these atoms are in turn composed of smaller components known as particles. The three fundamental particles comprising atoms are called protons, neutrons, and electrons. Atoms are far too small to be seen, but if we could look at one, it might appear something like this:
