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

coming together on whether the planet Pluto should be considered a “dwarf planet” or a part of the regular planets. Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Clyde W. Tombaugh. Astronomers believed that Pluto was to be considered a planet. Soon they concluded that their evidence didn’t support their reasoning. Pluto should not be considered a planet to me because it doesn’t have a cleared orbit. Pluto should stay a dwarf planet because it is the smallest planet in the solar system. Also Pluto’s moon is bigger

Space-based solar power (SBSP) is the concept of collecting solar power in space for use on Earth. It has been in research since the early 1970s. SSPS consists of a space-based power generation/transmission facility that gathers sunlight‚ converts it into microwaves or laser beams‚ and transmits those to the ground; and a power receiving facility on the ground. Space-based solar power essentially consists of three elements: • a means of collecting solar power in space‚ for example via solar cells or

The word planet is derived from the ancient Greek word planetes‚ or “wanderers.” Though the visible planets of that time did appear to be wandering in the sky‚ the science of Astronomy has broadened this term as well as our understanding of what‚ in fact a planet is. By modern definition‚ “planet” is described as a celestial body other than a star‚ which orbits a star. Our Solar System orbits the center of our home galaxy‚ the Milky Way‚ and has a rich and varied structure. It consists of the

5th period Planet of the Apes Influences The Planet of the Apes carries a great many influences from the 60’s from religion‚ science‚ to civil‚ women‚ and animal rights. This movie is less for entertainment and more of a social warning to the audience. The three most obvious influences are the fear of nuclear war‚ the space race‚ and separation of church and state. The Influence of the space race is hit on at the start of the movie as Taylor is seen inside of a space craft. The space race

not only how but also on what to use for it. Solar energy is one alternative energy source that would be converted to electricity by the use of these solar panels. Most solar panels are using silicon to produce the panels. The cells that are contained in these solar panels are normally silicon. These individual cells are shrinking all the time and becoming cheaper to produce. Solar panels provide users with a source for their work. Applications of solar panels are presently economical where there

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

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
