“Build everything to last forever,” declared Ernest "Mooney" Warther and it could not describe the man behind the name any better. Mooney Warther was an incredible wood carver whose ingenuity helps to give us a glimpse into not only the steam era, but also the death of our sixteenth president. I visited the Warther Museum and was amazed at what one man was able to accomplish. This man’s character and accomplishments had a profound effect on me. Who is the man behind the name Mooney Warther?…

Rotor and touchdown bearing models Fig. 1 features the case study of the high-speed rotor. The photo was taken after manufacturing of the electric motor part, when the rotor was carried to the laboratory for an experimental modal analysis. During normal operation, the rotor is supported by AMBs. In the dropdown event, the rotor is in contact with touchdown bearings at both ends of the rotor. Fig. 1. Rotor under investigation. In this work, the finite element model of the rotor employs…

Wind and solar energy has abundant and free resources as shown by statistic gathered from IPCC (2007), WWEA (2013) and REN21 (2013). Wind and solar as part of renewable energy, should be optimized in order to balance world vast growth in energy demand. Driver of Renewable Energy Development Stabilizing climate impact by reducing carbon emission from fossil fuel use. Ensuring stability and security of energy supply to all part of the countries. Abundant and sustained energy resources. Expanding…

energy of the future no mining no hiring people to mine the coal . No hauling the coal to the power plant to burn the coal . This means the cost of the energy is less because we only have to pay a little bit to a couple people to maintain the wind turbine . This is also a bad thing because it is taking jobs away from a lot of people .The truck drivers wouldn 't have any jobs. The miners wouldn 't have jobs and the people running the power plant would not have a job . This is also good…

Tunnels, the throat of the nozzle has the smallest c\s area and the test section area is chosen to achieve a desired Mach number in the test section.  For Hypersonic Flows, the effect of compressibility and additionally the chemical state of the gas is must be consider. 2. Classification By Tunnel Geometry:- i. Open Return Tunnel:- A Wind Tunnel which is open on both ends and draws air from the room into the test section is called open return tunnel. ii. Closed Return Tunnel:- A Wind Tunnel…

quality. For the Marcet boiler experiment, it was found that the higher the system pressure, the higher the saturated temperature. For the Boyle’s law experiment, it was found that pressure is directly proportional to volume, despite using non-ideal gas for the experiment. 1 Introduction and Theory The aim of this lab demonstration is to get familiar with operating pressure systems in order to investigate…

The same concept of a turbine is being applied to wind energy as it was applied to hydroelectric power. As portrayed in Figure D, the rotor blades on a wind turbine catch the kinetic energy in the wind and transfer it through a rotor shaft to the generator. The kinetic energy is then converted by the generator from the turbine into electrical energy. After this, the electricity is sent to a substation, where it is converted…

considered my focus for this assignment I decided to explore the efficiency of: wind turbine energy, static electricity and solar energy. My final research led me…
