Alternative Energy for Future Nowadays the most common energy resources come from Fossil Fuel‚ which according to research it shows that more of 85% of all energy that is consumed in the United States. It takes millions of years for the Fossil Fuel to actually develop and ready to be used‚ and the main concern of Fossil Fuel is that it cannot be consumed over and over again or reused. Through this analysis it can be assumed that because it takes millions of years for the fossil fuel to develop‚

state and a short description of the aim of this thesis work. 3.1 Minimum viable product concept for developing countries The concept of minimum viable product was introduced in an internal event at Dräger‚ which was to present innovative ideas. The term ‘Minimum Viable Product’ (MVP) means that a product with basic features to satisfy its customers. It can be better explained with the help of figure 8: Figure 8: Minimum Viable Product [Source: Internal] The requirement of the customer in this case

Disadvantages of alternate fuels The truth about the manufacturing and use of alternate fuels‚ as with everything else in life‚ is a mix of benefits and cost. Electricity is one of the alternate fuels that made it to production. The Chevy Volt is one such vehicle. The problem with this car is that it cost $41‚000 to buy one‚ and the battery life for a charge is only 37 miles. There would be no value for us to use electric cars. (Courture‚2011). Ethanol

disaster‚ but don’t be scared. Like most things we can fix this situation we have put ourselves into with alternative energy sources. Sorry Captain Planet it looks like you will be sitting this one out. There are many different forms of clean and renewable alternative energy. Fortunately it look likes we may be headed down the right path to saving humanity. Some of these forms of alternative energy that can definitely help solve the problem are: wind energy; hydrogen; solar power; wave energy.

Alternative Energy Sources Fossil fuels will not last forever. If the human race wishes to continue to live the way we do‚ then we have to look at alternative energy sources such as: geothermal‚ nuclear‚ solar‚ wind‚ and hydroelectric energy. Alternative energy sources are not without faults‚ but along with faults‚ there are benefits and solutions to the issues. Geothermal energy is a well-proven energy resource that can be used to provide both heat and electricity. Geothermal energy is very

How Does This Thing Work? It operates on a 100 year old proven technology called electrolysis. Whenever you place two pieces of metal in water‚ and apply electricity‚ the water separates into it’s basic molecules‚ Hydrogen and Oxygen (H2O). If you look at the picture on the left‚ you will see H2O molecules connected together in their liquid form which is WATER But when you apply electricity (from your car battery)‚ the molecules separate and form a GAS (called HHO) which is a mixture of

Alternative energy resources What are Alternative energy resources?? It is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. It is a form of energy derived from a natural source‚ such as the sun‚ wind‚ tides‚ or waves and are also known as “Renewable Energy” that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment. They are considered alternatives because they can be future replacements for the fossil fuels that now meet a considerable portion of our energy needs. What Energy Resources

Advantages and Disadvantages of Renewable Fuels Solar Energy: Advantages: -Energy is free although there is a building cost. -Causes no pollution‚ however‚ energy may go into machines that produce pollution. -Solar energy can be used in remote areas where it is too expensive to extend the electricity power grid. -Estimated that the worlds oil reserves will last for 30-40 years whereas solar energy is infinite. Disadvantages: -Solar energy can only be harnessed when it is daytime
