Passive Solar Design ITT Technical Institute Cap Stone [ April 6‚ 2012 ] Passive Solar Design Passive solar homes are houses designed to use the suns energy to heat the home. With this design it is also easy to cool these homes. The design has been around since men have walked the earth. It is so basic that it often gets over looked by architectural designers today. With the price of fossil fuel‚ and global warming‚ we can no longer over look this housing design. Our ancestors

Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy: The major benefit of solar is avoiding green house gases that fossil fuels produce. The first and foremost advantage of solar energy is that it does not emit any greenhouse gases. Solar energy is produced by conducting the sun’s radiation – a process void of any smoke‚ gas‚ or other chemical by-product. This is the main driving force behind all green energy technology‚ as nations attempt to meet climate change obligations in curbing emissions. Italy’s

’radiation’ has to do with energy or matter moving through space. Space radiation affects astronauts when an amount of radiation gets through the walls of a space shuttle or station and enters the body. Solar radiation usually affects astronauts walking in space‚ outside of their space shuttles‚ but sometimes it can even affect the people on Earth‚ causing electricity failures. Many people - astronauts mostly- fear the consequences of solar radiation‚ due to the fact that solar radiation can cause dangerous

\label{sec:Neutrino sources} Neutrinos are produced both naturally and in the laboratory. To understand the intrinsic properties of neutrinos‚ each of these sources provides information‚ sometimes overlapping. \subsubsection{Solar neutrinos} \label{sec:Solar neutrinos} It can be begin with solar neutrino problem because of its historical importance. The Sun generates heat and light through thermonuclear fusion reactions. There are cycles of such reactions which take place in the Sun‚ for example the {\it{pp}}

The last insect that lives in the tropical rainforest is an army ant. Ants that live in the tropical rainforest will eat The second insect is the Goliath Spider. The Goliath Spider eats things that are larger than them. Such as frogs‚ rodents‚ bats‚ lizards and small snakes. They may eat a bird whenever they feel like it but it’s not a high chance that they will be eaten the most. The Goliath Spider doesn’t have any predators because of how much damage they can do to any type of species. The

Alternative Energy Alternative Energy Alternative energy refers to energy sources that have no undesired consequences such for example fossil fuels‚ nuclear energy and falling water. Fossil fuels are coal‚ petroleum and natural gas. There are some characteristics of the fossil fuels that made the concept of alternative energy come into place. (Alternative Energy) One of the fossil fuels‚ Petroleum‚ forms a thin film around the grains of the rock where it formed. Pressure from the overlying rock

Solar power and its Importance Solar power is the technology of obtaining usable energy from the light of the Sun. Solar power has been used as a traditional technology for centuries and is coming into widespread use where other power supplies are absent‚ such as in remote locations and in space. Humanity has been able to give good use to solar power thanks to how technology has advanced overtime. Solar power plays an important role in everyday life because it’s currently used in a lot of applications
