Turbines Most Energy Efficient How does a wind turbine’s output vary with wind pressure (height of water)‚ the flow rate‚ size of the motor‚ and type of blade? Introduction There are many types of energy used today: Fossil fuels‚ coal‚ nuclear energy‚ solar energy‚ geothermal energy‚ hydrogen energy‚ hydroelectric energy‚ wind energy‚ and biofuels and biomass. Non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels and coal are diminishing since it cannot be recycled‚ unlike wind energy (renewable). Also

the staggering amount of people flocking towards cities – as living in one is the only way to commute to work and to buy food and other necessities —overpopulation threatens safety. With no consistent source of energy to turn to‚ the world holds its breath in wait for a new means of energy production to emerge and rescue them. Although any critic of global warming‚ climate-change‚ or a need for a new fuel source may attack this idea as overstatement; this apocalyptic image may not be overshooting

Feasibility of Residential Wind Turbines As Americans work to reduce fossil fuel dependence and look to more environmentally friendly energy sources‚ the use of wind energy technology has become the fastest growing segment of the energy market. The feasibility of residential wind turbines mainly comes down to wind resource‚ economic feasibility‚ and consumer acceptance. The use of residential wind turbines is certainly feasible in some areas‚ however; I do not believe they are feasible on a wide-scale

Solar Power In India India’s power sector has a total installed capacity of approximately 1‚46‚753 Megawatt (MW) of which 54% is coal-based‚ 25% hydro‚ 8% is renewables and the balance is the gas and nuclear-based. Power shortages are estimated at about 11% of total energy and 15% of peak capacity requirements and are likely to increase in the coming years. In the next 10 years‚ another 10‚000 MW of capacity and investment of about Rs. 24 lakh crore are required. Fortunately‚ India lies in sunny

How can the alternative source of energy be harnessed effectively? Losing polluting natural resource is one of the most serious problems that people concerned during the 21st century. Scientists have found that traditional sources like fossil fuels are threatening people’s lives as well as the environment. Due to this‚ some countries have started their plans to harness‚ renewable energy and achieved satisfactory success. For a decade‚ the majority of countries in Europe have proved that used alternative
