TRIAC
A TRIAC (triode for alternating current; also bidirectional triode thyristor or bilateral triode thyristor) is a three terminal electronic component that conducts current in either direction when triggered. The term TRIAC is a genericised trademark. TRIACs are a subset of thyristors (analogous to a relay in that a small voltage and current can control a much larger voltage and current) and are related to silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs). TRIACs differ from SCRs in that they allow current flow in both directions, whereas an SCR can only conduct current in a single direction. Most TRIACs can be triggered by applying either a positive or negative voltage to the gate (an SCR requires a positive voltage). Once triggered, SCRs and TRIACs continue to conduct, even if the gate current ceases, until the main current drops below a certain level called the holding current. Gate turn-off thyristors (GTOs) are similar to TRIACs but provide more control by turning off when the gate signa ...

Triac (car)
Triac, by Green Vehicles Inc., was a two-seat three-wheeled concept car unveiled in 2010–2012. The company went out of business in 2012. The Triac freeway commuter Early Adopter program closed as of June 15, 2010. The company announced in July 2011 that they will be shutting down all operations. Previously they had been accepting pre-orders for the Triac 3.0 requiring a $500 reservation fee and an anticipated delivery in 2012. Green Vehicles was originally based in San Jose, California, but the company relocated to an facility in Salinas, California. The TRIAC has a top speed of and a range of , according to the manufacturer. Charging the TRIAC's 165 volt, 180 amp-hour batteries takes approximately 5 hours when the vehicle is plugged into either 180 or 240 volts AC. Triac was designed with a steel safety cage construction with the two front tires controlling steering and front wheel drive.
