and bluster‚ prodded by the restless wind. Ski resorts don’t like to talk about wind–or storms in general—because it scares away the tourists‚ who somehow forget that winter is messy‚ cold‚ and wild‚ as if snow were laid down softly each night like a blanket over a sleeping baby. But wind is a fact of life in the mountains‚ as much a part of the weather as snow itself‚ and those who grumble about it or say it does nothing but blow overlook the fact that the wind gives as much as it takes. It can seem

Renewable sources of energy Wind energy Wind Energy‚ energy contained in the force of the winds blowing across the earth’s surface. When harnessed‚ wind energy can be converted into mechanical energy for performing work such as pumping water‚ grinding grain‚ and milling lumber. By connecting a spinning rotor (an assembly of blades attached to a hub) to an electric generator‚ modern wind turbines convert wind energy‚ which turns the rotor‚ into electrical energy. Because wind is a clean and renewable

project is a mini windmill that uses wind energy to generate electricity. This process is achieved by creating a propeller and connecting it to a motor. This motor lies on a free rotating base that rotates above a stand (truss) that supports the whole mill. Rotating the base to face the direction of the wind is achieved by connecting a back rudder to the base. • How does it work? Electric energy generation starts when the wind rotates the propeller blades – that have

Cost of building the plant and return on investment is fast compared to large hydro and hence would attract many private investors to invest. * Rehabilitation and resettlement which is the major concern

Here we discussed in Detail about Wind Energy and the production of electricity from moving vehicles. So first we defined Energy. Till Now we have studied that energy is the ability of a body to do work .it can also be defined as the ability of a body to bring some change is the energy of that body. Energy is very necessary for human beings; every thing in the universe possessed some energy. There are two main kinds of Energy 1. Kinetic Energy 2. potential Energy Kinetic energy is produced

These sources can never be exhausted and called non-conventional sources of energy. Renewable sources consist of solar energy‚ bio-mass‚ wind speed‚ etc (Why Renewable Energy).

The Salem Harbor power plant is a serious threat to the public health and it may only get worse. There is a severe concern about toxic air emissions from the prior waste disposal practices. That is why Bush’s energy plan doesn’t quite work? In the Salem Evening News it says that‚ "The Bush plan only pays lip service to the threat of global warming‚ the greatest environmental danger of our time." (Kert Davies) The Bush plan may of solved the threat of global warming‚ but in reality Pollution
