During my visit to the constitution center‚ I was not sure which exhibits to visit‚ it was recommended to me that I to visit their newest exhibit The Rise and Fall of Prohibition. The prohibition era had always interested me but I did not know much about it besides the 18th and 21st amendment created and then repealed the act. However‚ after visiting the realistic exhibit I am thoroughly informed and fascinated by the events that took place during that time period. The exhibit has over 100 artifacts

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

In poorer countries‚ many people from the countryside move to the cities. This is called rural-urban migration. There are so many reasons for this popular action. But it happens mainly because of better education and better standard of living. As it plays an important role in the growth and development of countries‚ rural-urban migration certainly has its positive effects. Firstly‚ more and more kids from rural areas will obtain better education. Education is necessary for the development of society

Beginning 1910 and leading through the end of the 1920’s‚ a “Great Migration” took place int he United States where more than 2 million African Americans moved from the Southern United States to the Midwest‚ Northeast and West. Much of the movement was a response to the high levels of racism in the South as well as employment opportunities in the growing industrial cities. The results of this movement not only affected the current economic climate but also led to many changes that would continue

WAVE ENERGY Chapter 2: Energy Technology 2.1 Source of Wave Energy Ocean waves are caused by the wind as it blows across the open expanse of water‚ the gravitational pull from the sun and moon‚ and changes in atmospheric pressure‚ earthquakes etc. Waves created by the wind are the most common waves and the waves relevant for most wave energy technology. Wave energy conversion takes advantage of the ocean waves caused primarily by the interaction of winds with the ocean surface. Wave energy is an
