Solar Absorbers and the Future of Electricity Solar Absorbers and the Future of Electricity By James Folta Electricity is what we use to power things at home or at school. You can probably look around right now and see an electrical outlet or two. Everything that we plug into one of these outlets uses electricity. But where does this electricity come from? Right now we have a few ways to make electricity. Some are better than others. There are some scientists who are trying to find

Energy Drinks The use of energy drinks in the United States has increased more than the controversial consumption of regular sodas. According to Coca-Cola executives‚ profits from energy products since 2005 through 2008 will total $540 million‚ compared with $210 million for regular soft drinks‚ $130 million for bottled water and $290 million for sports drinks (Warner). So what is it about this drinks that make them more popular than our pure and vital water? The answer is very simple; our hectic

Reusable Energy: The Cleaner and Cheaper Alternative Tom Harper HUM/114 July 15‚ 2013 Mark Spinler Reusable Energy: The Cleaner and Cheaper Alternative Over the past ten years‚ reusable energy has been the topic of so many law makers and just about every American tax payer around. As the energy rates continue to rise‚ we are constantly looking at new ways to save on household energy costs. We conserve energy by turning off lights‚ washing clothes during early morning or late evening hours

Pitch Constant Rotational Speed Wind Turbine Project Aims This project can be divided into 3 three parts. The first part is to develop a variable pitch propeller. Then second and the main aim of this project is to design a control mechanism by which the propellers would rotate at a constant speed‚ at varying wind speeds by adjusting their pitch. This would be achieved by using wind sensors (anemometer) and a microcontroller. The sensors would measure the wind speed and feed that to microcontroller

Garcia PTAC-1308 Energy Conservation It would be hard to imagine a life without the use of energy. So many of the products that we use on a daily basis are powered because of electricity‚ which in turn is generated because of energy. American’s use a mixture of different energy sources to cool and heat our homes‚ offices‚ and means of transportation. We also use energy sources to illuminate and power these same places. Oil has provided the United States with less than 50% of energy needs and supplies
