Sero Sedan. The Sero Sedan is an electric microcar produced and marketed by Sero electric since 2019.

History 
After securing the necessary amount of USD 4 million for the development and implementation of a proprietary electric microcar structure, Sero started a 4-year construction process in 2015, the results of which were presented in September 2019. The design of the Sero model family has been simplified to a minimum for low cost and low overall weight. Apart from the body made of plastic, the car has neither airbags, ABS, nor ESP system. According to South American legislation, only seat belts are required in this type of vehicle.

As of 2017, it contains 85% Argentine parts.

Sales of the Sero Sedan and its variants began in the second half of 2019, initially covering only the domestic Argentine market. In 2020, Sero Electric established cooperation with the Brazilian startup Movi Electric, which launched the production of Sero models under its own brand in the same year.

Cargo 
The range of body variants, apart from the passenger sedan, also includes a wide range of vans from the Sero Cargo series. It consists of models with a box body, which can take the form of both a pickup and a panel van.

Variants 
 Sero electric Cargo Alto
 Sero electric Cargo Bajo Largo
 Sero electric Cargo Bajo Furgón

Specifications
The Sedan is powered by a 10.8 HP electric motor, which allows for a maximum speed of 45 km/h. The range of the vehicle on a single charge under optimal conditions while driving in the city is approximately 65 kilometers, while charging from a household socket takes up to a full 7 hours.

Safety 
It has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.

Sero electric. Sero electric is an Argentine electric microcar manufacturer based in Buenos Aires, founded in 2010.

History
Sero electric was founded in Buenos Aires in 2010 by Pablo Naya with the goal of developing and producing the first locally-built electric car in the Argentine automotive industry. The inspiration for Sero vehicles was the observation of the dynamically developing market of electric microcars in Europe at the turn of the first and second decades of the 21st century. The amount of USD 4 million was used to implement the project, and its implementation began in 2015.

Work on the first Sero electric vehicle was completed in 2019, when the family of microcars with passenger-delivery characteristics was officially presented in September, with prices starting at US$9,000. The Sero Sedan was built for civil use, while the Cargo, available as a pickup or van, was built for commercial use. In February 2021, Sero Electric established cooperation with the Brazilian company Movi Electric, which started the production of the Sero model line in this country for the dynamically developing market in Brazil.

Betty Lindsay. Betty Lindsay (Minnie Elizabeth Barclay Lindsay) (9 October 1897 – 11 January 1953) was an early professional civil engineer working in Albania and, in 1921, may have been only the second female engineering graduate (after Elizabeth Georgeson in 1919) of the University of Edinburgh.

Early life and education 
Betty Lindsay was born in China  but her family returned to Scotland when she was three years old. Her father, Edward John Lindsay was a banker. Both her parents died by 1913 so she went to live with her uncle in Evie, Orkney. In 1921 she obtained a BSc in mechanical engineering from the University of Edinburgh (she had also been awarded a second-class certificate of merit in mechanical engineering during her studies). In her career, however, she worked mainly as a civil engineer. From 1922 to 1925 she worked for William Tawse Ltd as an engineering assistant.

Work in Albania 
Lindsay was a Scottish member of the Women's Engineering Society and in 1926 its journal, The Woman Engineer, reported that she had volunteered for an anti-malarial mission to Albania, which also included female doctors, a nurse and a driver. The mission had been organised by Lady Carnarvon; she had established schools, hospitals and clinics in Albania after the death in 1923 of her son, Aubrey Herbert, who had been a leading advocate of Albanian independence. The article noted that having arrived at the State Hospital, Valona (Vlorë), on 21 March that year, she undertook duties which ‘at present consist of organising and supervising the work of draining, ditching and filling in pits, etc., and in clipping for and examining mosquito larvae’.

Lindsay remained in Albania until the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, working on anti-malarial civil engineering projects throughout the country, and with the Rockefeller Foundation Malarial control engineer, Frederick W. Knipe, and International Health Board ecologist Dr Lewis W. Hackett.

Later life 
She then returned to the UK and became a technical translator for the Air Ministry, where she remained working, latterly as Chief Translator, until her death in 1953. She was buried in the family grave in Edinkillie, Morayshire.

Frank William Peek. Frank William Peek Jr. (August 20, 1881, Mokelumne Hill, California – July 27, 1933, near Gaspé, Quebec) was an American electrical engineer and inventor, known as a pioneer in engineering research on the creation of extremely high voltage electricity. He is often given the sobriquet "inventor of man-made lightning". He is known for Peek's law.

Biography
Peek graduated in 1905 with a bachelor's degree from Stanford University and in 1911 with a master's degree in electrical engineering from Schenectady's Union College. He then became a consulting and research engineer for General Electric (GE) in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

In June 1931 Harris J. Ryan and Herbert Hoover offered Peek the chair of the Engineering College of Stanford University, but he rejected the offer in favor of "the top engineering job at GE".

Peek patented inventions related to electrical transmission, insulation, and protective devices. He did fundamental research on laws of corona discharge, as well as transient phenomena and electrical transmission. He was elected in 1922 a fellow of the American Physical Society. He was awarded in 1923 the Thomas Fitch Rowland Prize of the American Society of Civil Engineers and in 1926 the Louis E. Levy Medal of the Franklin Institute.

On August 9, 1913, in Oswego, New York, he married Merle A. Bell, who was a graduate of Syracuse University. In 1933, Frank and Merle Peek were on a trip to Canada when their automobile was struck by a locomotive at a grade-crossing — he was killed and she was injured.
