Uses of Wind Turbines
Wind is a powerful source of energy which, for centuries, has been harnessed for different uses. More and more scientists and researchers consider that wind can be used effectively as a clean renewable energy source. But this can only be done when power within the moving air is harnessed properly.
The Wind Energy Industry has grown [...]
Converting a Car to Biodiesel
A car running on biodiesel can save a lot of gas for its owner. Not only that, but this alternative fuel emits less carbon dioxide, making it more environmentally friendly than an engine which runs on conventional fossil fuel.
A regular car, running with a diesel engine, can run on biodiesel, which is a non-petroleum based [...]
Fuel Cells, an Alternative Energy Source to Power our Nation
What are fuel cells?
Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that combine hydrogen and oxygen in order to produce electricity.
During the power generation cycle, water and heat are produced as a by-products. This is a far more ideal byproduct than the unclean emissions which are created by other methods of generating electricity.
Fuel Cells will operate and generate power so long [...]
The Solar Tower
A solar tower is a device that converts solar thermal energy (heat from the sun) into electricity. Solar towers are suitable for large-scale power generation.
The Basic Component Parts of a Solar Tower Energy Plant:
Solar Tower – The solar tower is simply a large structure with a boiler (a tank used to heat liquids) at the top. The boiler collects [...]
Solar Cells
A “solar cell” is a device which changes sunlight into electricity. More technically, a solar cell is also referred to as a “photovoltaic cell.”
The term “photo” derives from the Greek word for “light,” and the term “voltaic” comes from the word “volt” which means “electrical force.” A “cell” is a small receptacle or container containing electrodes [...]
