Definition of Wind Energy “Wind Energy - Energy received from the movement of the wind across the earth. This energy is a result of the heating of our oceans‚ earth‚ and atmosphere by the sun. Turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical energy that can be used for power.” The German physicist Albert Betz calculated in 1919 the possible maximum amount of energy that can be extracted out of wind energy. He came to the result of 59.3% that can be extracted and named this

"If we truly want an innovative and creative renewable fuel industry‚ then it needs to be challenged. And if we create a set of protections that allow it to not be as creative and innovative as possible‚ then we aren’t doing a service to the industry or to the people of this country."- Jimmy Carter‚ April 18th‚ 1977. The threat to the environment has been a persisting issue for more than just a few years. Yet‚ only now is when the public has been made aware of the certain "complication". Luckily

Coal is an un-renewable fossil fuel which is known as a cheap and reliable energy source. It has many environmental impacts‚ both positive and negative. Coal has a great economical effect providing thousands of people with jobs‚ and harmfully leaving individuals with un-producible land. It has a social impact negatively when people live near coal mines. Coal is a flammable‚ mostly black rock‚ which has been located in 50 different countries around the world. Coal is known as a fossil fuel because

Hydraulics – CIVL 2130 Conservation of Energy Aim The aim of this lab experiment is to observe the flow behaviour of water through a pipe of variable section. Firstly‚ we will investigate the interchange of pressure and kinetic energy at each diameter change. Secondly‚ we will study the application of this interchange to the flow metering devices. Lastly‚ energy losses due to friction and pressure effects are estimated. Experimental Apparatus [pic] Pre-lab Question Pressure varies
