January 31‚ 2012 Written Assignment #1 One of the most debated issues in today’s world is that of energy sources to power an increasing global demand. Traditionally‚ humans have converted energy from natural resources like coal and natural gas for use. However‚ these sources of energy are both nonrenewable and cause large amounts of pollution. As we progress through the 21st century‚ renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy will see increased use to replace traditional sources. One

obligation on energy producers to focus on renewable source of energy. * With the price of oil well over US $100 per barrel‚ and the price of coal and gas at historically high levels‚ Wind Energy has lot in store for the globe. THREATS * Wind energy industry is comparatively new industry and so there are not many players in supply side that can provide turbines and blades. Thus directly leading to high cost. * There are other sources of renewable energy vying for the place for example nuclear energy‚

Background/History on the Wind Power Industry The wind power industry first developed in Iran around 200 B.C. The first windmills were vertical axis wind turbines‚ which were used for pumping water and grinding whole grains for food consumption. The Chinese‚ Romans and Afghans all used windmills around this time for similar use. In the 13th century Holland started developing large horizontal axis windmills. These four-blade windmills were larger‚ carried more torque and wind speed and could do

energy. Wind is a very good source of energy‚ by using this source we are able to generate enough energy to run industries and also for local use. Wind energy is generated by fitting a special kind of wind turbine on any open surface on the sea shores are on the roofs of the houses. This wind turbine converts mechanical energy of the wind into electrical energy. Throughout history‚ people have connected with the wind. Wind power was used to grind grain and pump water before Electrification of farming

would‚ except it is not driven by pulleys and belts attached to the engine ’s crank. A turbocharger is driven by exhaust gasses that have been excluded by the engine and are traveling through the exhaust manifold. The exhaust gas flows through half of the turbochargers turbine‚ which drives the impeller that compresses the air. The average operating speeds of a turbocharger are between 7‚500 and 15‚000 rpm. A characteristic most people think of when they hear turbocharger is the blow-off valve‚ which

Project Title: Stronger Turbines‚ Weaker Hurricanes Project ID # 970G Abstract Currently‚ fossil fuels plague our planet‚ destroying the environment and increasing the rate of global warming. This increases the frequency in which hurricanes are created‚ contributing to the end of numerous lives and billions of dollars in damages. The systems devised to protect cities from these natural disasters are often flawed‚ costing a large sum of money or requiring an excessive amount of land. However‚ according
