life¨-Unknown. The inventor of volleyball is William G. Morgan in 1895. William took the characteristics of tennis‚ basketball‚ and handball. William enjoyed the game tennis more than the rest‚ but tennis needed a racket. William did not like all the equipment but did like the idea of a net. So‚ William invented volleyball which was a less rough version of basketball. This took place in Holyoke‚ Massachusetts at the Springfield College of YMCA. I started doing a volleyball spring league in fifth grade

Energy conservation helps ensure available resources for future generations and also helps prevent pollution. Most of our current energy sources today are not renewable‚ which means that they will eventually deplete. As a member of the Home Owner’s Association I believe that it is extremely important for us to educate our community about the importance of energy conservation. Teaching the community that energy is not a right but a privilege will educate‚ empower‚ and make us aware of the importance

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

Harnessing Nuclear Energy The Superior Non-Renewable Alternative? BENJAMIN J DOWDLE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Throughout the first half of the 20th century‚ scientists and governments throughout the industrial world began to explore the concept of nuclear theory in an attempt to harness the powerful forces that hold together the nucleus of an atom. Unlike non-renewable energy sources‚ such as coal or natural gas‚ nuclear power plants do not emit global warming emissions while operating

It can begin simply by turning off a light switch as someone leaves a room or unplugging a device when not in use. From these small acts‚ the beginning seeds of energy conservation can be sown. Energy conservation has become one of the most hotly debated subjects in the world. Old power plants are struggling to keep up‚ sometimes causing power shortages or “brown outs”‚ and new power plants are being built‚ but most of the new plants still use the same technology as their predecessors. Some

Solar Energy Alternative energy resources are being closely evaluated because of the depletion of nonrenewable resources‚ such as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources have damaged earth because of the amount of pollution that is released some‚ in which is known as Carbon Dioxide. Massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide are that is released into our environment every year further damaging our planet. Scientist has been effectively working on ways of conserving energy that is

Renewable energy is energy that originates from natural sources‚ which is a continuing and nonpolluting energy that is replenished due to its perpetual natural motion. These sources are commonly solar‚ geothermal‚ wind and tidal energies. Comparing different countries’ use of renewable energies -- in Portugal this year‚ close to 45 percent of its electricity will come from renewable energy sources (Rosenthal‚ 2010). This compared to 10.1 percent in the United States (U.S. Energy Administration
