Ground ambulances are generally much less expensive, with an average emergency run coming in at $800 to $2,000, depending on the region and other factors, according to J.D. Fuiten, secretary of the American Ambulance Association. During an emergency, when the aircraft show up, there's usually no mention of money.
The traditional electric motor on a diesel-electric or electric locomotive is a DC motor. Internally, DC motors have two main components: the stator is the stationary outside part of a motor. The armature is the inner part which rotates.
The hybrid diesel locomotive is an incredible display of power and ingenuity. It combines some great mechanical technology, including a huge, 12-cylinder, two-stroke diesel engine, with some heavy duty electric motors and generators, throwing in a little bit of computer technology for good measure.
