Geothermal Energy Introduction: 1. Good morning every one. My name is…. A. First‚ I have a question for you guys. How many kinds of energy you know until now? (Watch for feedback) B. Ok‚ so have you heard geothermal energy before? Good‚ I am goanna show you some pictures first. C. When I heard this term‚ there are few questions came out in my mind‚ what is the geothermal energy? how the new energy works? Is the

Energy content is an important property of food. The energy your body needs for running‚ talking‚ and thinking comes from the food you eat. Energy content is the amount of heat produced by the burning of 1 gram of a substance‚ and is measured in joules per gram (J/g). Usually‚ fat-rich foods like peanuts and cashews provide more energy than just carbohydrates like marshmallows. You can determine the energy content by burning a portion of food and capturing the heat released to a known mass of

Conservation of energy and transformation of energy. By Paige‚ Stacie‚ Amelia. Objectives Learning about Conservation of energy Learning about transformation of energy Conservation – Preserving a substance. Metabolism Metabolism is a process in which you break down foods into calories and these are combined with oxygen to release the energy that your body needs in order to function/live. This is a very complicated bio-chemical process. Metabolism is essential for the energy for these functions:

Talking Energy Meter The purpose of this project is to build a KWH (Kilo Watt Hour) meter that can alert the users with voice messages. An Energy meter or KWH meter is a device that measures the amount of electrical energy supplied to or produced by a residence‚ business or machine. Electricity is a clean‚ convenient way to deliver energy. The electricity meter is how electricity providers measure billable services. The most common type of meter measures kilowatt-hours. When used in electricity

"Electrical Energy Consumption" Sustainability and electricity Where does electricity come from? Most people use electricity and see it as something that is infinite and probably don’t give a second thought about its source. This is quite understandable‚ considering electricity looks clean; it doesn’t cause any noise pollution or direct air pollution. The fact is that most electricity is produced by burning coal‚ and the use of nuclear power plants. Simply stated‚ the more electricity used‚

Panels- They make electricity so you don’t have to buy it. You don’t have to use coal/oil/something else to create electricity‚ so it saves fossil fuels also. Tankless Hot Water Heater- Heating water is the 2nd highest energy use in the home. This device saves energy by eliminating the storage tank for hot water that has to be constantly heated. You only heat the water you use. Florescent Light Bulbs- These use less electricity than an incandescent bulb for the same amount of light.

The Energy of the Future The United States of America is in desperate need of an alternate energy source. One such alternate source is nuclear power. Nuclear power is a form of energy produced by an atomic reaction‚ which is capable of producing an alternative source of electrical power‚ replacing the energy currently supplied by coal‚ gas‚ or oil. This will help the United States move away from burning fossil fuels and potentially reduce overall pollution. Nuclear power has the potential to be

Energy Planning Proposal By Brandon Morgan SCI 362 Professor Howard Schmidt September 2‚ 2014 In this time energy is one of the most sought after resources we ask for. It powers just about everything we deal with and use on a daily basis. From the ATM to the charger for your phone. This energy costs money yet should we just throw the money towards the simplest solution at the time‚ or would it be wiser to look towards the long term use of the method of making energy?
