Chapter 1 Introduction The notion of going green is not strictly a new technological concept‚ and any naturally occurring and theoretically inexhaustible energy such as wind‚ biomass‚ and solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ hydroelectric power that is not derived from fossil or nuclear fuel is referred to as renewable energy. The relevance of these emerging fields became more pronounced when the need to produce clean‚ safe and efficient energy devices without trading off environmental friendliness arise. The current

Solar Panels Vs. Trees Many consumers have several questions if whether or not if their neighbors can block access to their solar panels with shading. In the case of Solar vs. Trees‚ the trees are the ones that block the solar panels from direct sunlight. Both these men are environmentally friendly. “In terms of loving the environment it seems that neither one can top the other.” (NPR 62) When it comes to the decision of cutting down trees to get sunlight for solar panels‚ which one seems to have

The Universe and Our Galaxies The Universe and Our Galaxies Examples of Elliptical (Messier 87 ) and Spiral Galaxies (NGC 3559) Examples of Elliptical (Messier 87 ) and Spiral Galaxies (NGC 3559) Edwin Hubble was one of the first people to actually realise what a galaxy is‚ the measurement of the “Hubble Tuning Fork” Classification scheme shows how round or rightly wound their “arms” are. E0 means that an elliptical galaxy is extremely round‚ whilst E7 is flat. However not all galaxies

potential of incorporation of solar power and wind power generation on high rise building in Malaysia. Malaysia being located at the equator having abundance of solar energy all year round is ideal for application of solar power generation but with the low wind speed on the ground‚ wind power generation may not be suitable. However‚ a good building design to enhance the wind flow and utilizing the height of a high rise building might create an opportunity for wind power generation to further boost

Lesson 1: Our Solar System What makes up our solar system? When we think of the solar system most of us think of eight planets orbiting around the sun. However‚ the solar system is a lot more complicated‚ larger and exciting than this simple description. The solar system is a gravitationally bound system with all the objects in this system revolving around the sun. The eight planets revolving around the sun are: Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ Mars‚ Jupitar‚ Saturn‚ Neputune‚ Uranus and Pluto. However‚ the

MINOR MEMBERS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM ASTEROIDS Asteroids are small rocky bodies that have been likened to “flying mountains.” The largest‚ Ceres‚ is about 1000 kilometers in diameter‚ but most are only about 1 kilometer across. The smallest asteroids are assumed to be no larger than grains of sand. Most asteroids lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They have orbital periods of three to six years. Some asteroids have very eccentric orbits and travel very close to the sun‚ and a few larger

On February 20 2012‚ me and my daughter went to the Gates Planetarium in Denver to see the showing of the Wildest Weather in the Solar System. The first thing we did was to walk around the Space Odyssey and explore some of the exhibit they had. Then we went to see the show which I must say was far more thrilling then I or my daughter could have imagined. When you first walk into the Space Odyssey you are amazed it almost looks as thought your walking on to a spaceship or what I would imagine it

\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}}
