Solar Absorbers and the Future of Electricity Solar Absorbers and the Future of Electricity By James Folta Electricity is what we use to power things at home or at school. You can probably look around right now and see an electrical outlet or two. Everything that we plug into one of these outlets uses electricity. But where does this electricity come from? Right now we have a few ways to make electricity. Some are better than others. There are some scientists who are trying to find

mysterious dark energy that’s causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate? Is it some form of Einstein’s famous cosmological constant‚ or is it an exotic repulsive force‚ dubbed "quintessence‚" that could make up as much as three-quarters of the cosmos? Scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Dartmouth College believe there is a way to find out. | | | | The SuperNova/Acceleration Probe‚ SNAP‚ is a satellite designed to study dark energy through the discovery

Energy Crises Energy is considered to be life line of any economy and most vital instrument of socioeconomic development of a country. Energy is pivotal in running machinery in factories and industrial units‚ for lighting our cities and powering our vehicles etc. There has been an enormous increase in the demand of energy as a result of industrial development and population growth‚ in comparison to enhancement in energy production. Supply of energy is‚ therefore‚ far less than the actual

How many of you drink energy drinks? Just one a day or a few a day? Did you know that while only one a day may not lead to excessive caffeine intake‚ two or more in a single day can? Excessive amounts of caffeine intake can lead to headaches‚ jitteriness‚ and upset stomachs. Kentucky is thinking about passing a law to make it illegal for someone under 18 to buy energy drinks. Many people (including me) want this law to be passed. When I did my research on this issue‚ it was found that in France

Renewable energy is energy that comes from resources which are continually replenished such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves and geothermal heat. About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewable resources‚ with 10%[discuss] of all energy from traditional biomass‚ mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly.[2] The share of renewables

Solar Energy The Sun is a star and without it there would be no life on earth. This is why the Sun is called the ultimate source of energy. The Sun’s energy is produced by a process called nuclear fusion. Every second‚ the Sun emits vast amounts of energy‚ much of which is light‚ and this solar radiation can be converted into electricity. Plants and trees are pretty good at collecting this energy. With the help of green chlorophyll‚ they use light energy to make food – they’re our solar powered

Thailand’s Experience whit clean energy technology Past achievements were considerable; still there is a wide window of opportunities to further promote clean and renewable energy technologies so that the country can better realize its full potential. Renewable energy currently makes up only a small percentage of the total electricity mixes in the country. Advanced clean fossil-fuel based technology is left largely unexplored despite the continued significance of fossil fuels in Thailand. It

punched through reaches 5.3 tonnes. Second‚ things heat up when they are compressed as given by the perfect gas law (at these energy densities it is close enough for our purposes despite everything bieng solid) so when the projectile gets compressed it heats up‚ if it heats up to the correct level it melts‚ vaporizes and turns into plasma‚ that depends on the energy densities present (FUSION). So when a solid slug hits the armour the first thing which will happen is that the slug punches a
