Dawn Hurley Dr. Jeff Smith Speech 101 10 May 2013 Solar Panels John Burroughs an American Naturalist in 1916 once said “The Fuel on Earth will be exhausted in a thousand years or more‚ and its mineral wealth but man will find substitutes for these in the winds‚ the waves and heat and so forth.” Have you ever thought of what would happen to civilization once we begin to exhaust one of our precious and efficient source of energy‚ Oil? Luckily Scientists have been researching the answer

Solar Panels in the Mojave Desert Overview In 1971‚ a husband and wife‚ Aden and Marjorie Meinel‚ patented an idea to produce solar panels in the Mojave Desert. The solar panels they proposed were to stretch through the Mojave Desert for 5‚000 miles and would collect 1‚000‚000 megawatts of electrical power. The electrical energy would then be stored in a manufacturing facility locally so that the solar energy could be converted and used by millions of people. The Meinel’s proposal was dismissed

Advantages Solar cells provide cost effective solutions to energy problems in places where there is no mains electricity. Solar cells are also totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. Compared to other renewable sources they also possess many advantages; wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy‚ expensive and liable to breaking down. Rooftop power is a good way of supplying energy to a growing community

The Solar System The solar system still to this day one of the most fascinating subjects of study in the science world. In our time‚ we are one of the first generations to see the planets of our solar system up close‚ and we have been able to view evolution of these planets through time. Our solar system consists of a middle aged star called the Sun‚ 9 planets‚ about 100 moons‚ thousands of asteroids‚ millions of icy bodies‚ and many comets revolving around all of it. We can begin by looking

Nanosolar Inc. Case Study Analysis Nanosolar is a start-up company and expects to be one of the first manufacturers to produce thin-film solar panels using copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) technology. Nanosolar is focused on selling a single type of thin-film Photovoltaic (PV) module called the “Nanosolar Utility Panel”. The utility panel is 50% less energy efficient than c-Si modules‚ but being 90% less expensive to produce. Strategic Options: (1) Continue to invest in European and

The Effects of Gravity There are some people who worry that when they ’re outside‚ if they don ’t keep a good grip on the ground‚ they ’ll just go flinging off into space. They needn ’t really worry about this‚ because gravity generally keeps that sort of thing from happening. The thing is‚ no one is really sure what causes gravity‚ but the effects have been studied by many physicists and astronomers. Three of the more obvious effects of gravity are things falling down‚ weight

Solar water disinfection Solar water disinfection is a type of water purification system that uses solar energy in order to make contaminated water safe to drink. This is done by eliminating contagious biological organisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ protozoa and worms. This process can only be taken place on biological agents non-biological agents such as toxic chemicals or heavy metals disinfection may not make all kinds of water safe to drink. Therefore additional steps away from disinfection
