fascinating. Generating power by harnessing the wind energy created by fast moving trains is not an idea that may occur to the average researcher. However‚ two industrial designers- China’s Qian Jiang and Italy’s Alessandro Leonetti Luparini have managed to develop a device that produces power by utilizing this unique form of wind energy. The design won a silver award at the Lite-On awards last year What is the T-box? The T- box is a power generated device that harnesses wind energy as trains run

supply‚ or how much pollution it emits. Some energy resources are not extracted from the earth‚ but from nature’s elements or recycled materials. These energy resources are called “renewable” energy resources; renewable energy resources consist of wind‚ hydrokinetics‚ biomass‚ hydroelectricity‚ geothermal‚ and solar energy. On the other hand‚ some energy is extracted from the Earth and the supply will run out one day. This is called “non-renewable” energy resources. Non-renewable energy resources

In Hong Kong‚ the energy consumption is highly relied on non-renewable resources such as coal‚ natural gas‚ oil etc. However‚ if we only depend on those resources continuously‚ it may have a high risk of deficiency. Because of the limitation of the Non-Renewable Resources‚ Renewable Energy Sources have been used in large-scale power generation in some overseas

Alternative Energy Alternative Energy Alternative energy refers to energy sources that have no undesired consequences such for example fossil fuels‚ nuclear energy and falling water. Fossil fuels are coal‚ petroleum and natural gas. There are some characteristics of the fossil fuels that made the concept of alternative energy come into place. (Alternative Energy) One of the fossil fuels‚ Petroleum‚ forms a thin film around the grains of the rock where it formed. Pressure from the overlying rock

fuel too much may lead to serious air pollution. Most fuels are reacted with oxygen gas and then give off a mass of emission. This waste gas contaminates our atmosphere and cause respiratory illness. In contrast‚ alternative energy such as wind power‚ solar power is clean and renewable energy. What the most significant point is that it has the low price which can be easily accepted by ordinary citizens. However‚ those who hold the counter-argument convince that fossil fuels are more important. Firstly
