Alternative Sustainable Energy Resources: Water Turbines Jill Dallmann Everglades University‚ Sarasota Abstract Through years of research and studies‚ renewable and sustainable energy resources have proven to help decrease greenhouse gases that are products of the main current world energy sources. With the rising cost and consumption of petroleum to rise in the future‚ the race to finding sustainable energy is heating up because

In the end‚ the winner was never announced at the Columbian Exposition‚ because there was not any real winner. The rivalry died out after Westinghouse managed to make his company the main power supplier for the Exposition (Ghose 1). Because of this accomplishment and Tesla’s new inventions‚ Tesla and Westinghouse are considered the unofficial winners of the War of Currents in scientists’ minds (Nix 4). Nevertheless‚ the public could not care less about the winner and focused on the new effects of

Case Discussion Questions 1. GE used to prefer acquisitions or Greenfield ventures as an entry mode rather than joint ventures. Why do you think this was the case? According to our textbook‚ a firm can establish a wholly owned subsidiary in a country by building a subsidiary from the ground up‚ the so-called Greenfield strategy‚ or by acquiring an enterprise in the target market. Acquisitions have three major points in their favor. First‚ they are quick to execute. By acquiring an established

CASE 22 Jeff Immelt and the Reinventing of General Electric[1] On April 25‚ 2012 Jeff Immelt‚ chairman and CEO of the General Electric Company‚ presided over the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Detroit‚ Michigan. As representatives of the “99 Percent Movement” protesting GE’s low rate of corporate tax were ushered from the hall‚ and GE’s board members and corporate officers took their seats‚ Immelt reflected on his eleven years as head of GE. Immelt knew that taking over from

company we decided on for our financial analysis is General Electric. At first we were looking at Starbucks‚ as it is a rapidly growing multinational corporation‚ but after some research we discovered that the earnings per share growth of Starbucks is 40.2%. Therefore Starbucks did not meet the requirement set at 50% EPS growth to be considered a truly “rapidly growing company”. We then continued our research and were able to find that General Electric has current EPS growth at 59.6%‚ which meets the

INTRODUCTION The vision for large-scale offshore floating wind turbines was introduced by Professor William E. Heronemus at the University of Massachusetts in 1972‚ but it was not until the mid 1990’s‚ after the commercial wind industry was well established‚ that the topic was taken up again by the mainstream research community. Current fixed-bottom technology has seen limited deployment to water depths of 20 m. As the technology is advanced into deeper water‚ floating wind turbine platforms maybe the most

A Pelton wheel‚ also called a Pelton turbine‚ is one of the most efficient types of water turbines. It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton (1829-1908) in the 1870s‚ and is an impulse machine‚ meaning that it uses Newton’s second law to extract energy from a jet of fluid.

Steam Turbines The invention of the water turbine was so successful that eventually‚ the idea came about for extracting power from steam. Steam has one great advantage over water-it expands in volume with tremendous velocity. To be the most effective‚ a steam turbine must run at a very high speed. No wheel made can revolve at any speed approaching the velocity that a steam turbine can. By utilizing the kinetic energy of steam flow‚ the turbine could achieve a higher efficiency. As a result
