Atmospheric electricity

to secure funding by building the ENIAC for the US Army to calculate artillery tables for use in World War II. John Mauchly was born in August 1907 in Cincinnati, Ohio. His father, Sebastian Mauchly, was the chief physicist of the Terrestrial Electricity and Magnetism Section at the Carnegie Institute in Washington, D.C. (Bartik, Rickman, and Todd 6). Mauchly showed engineering talent at a young age: "When neighbours had trouble with their wiring... they called John Mauchly." (McCartney 29) He…

Climate change is affecting the world in different forms and increments. In the last century various parts of globe have seen the impacts of global warming, green gas emissions, and flooding. These natural disasters cause massive amounts of damage economically, politically and socially leading to competition for limited resources, upheaval and chaos on both the local and national spectrums. However, many are quick to dismiss the impact of climate change when its horrific effects do not hit…

individual of their “inferiority complex.” Furthermore, this revolutionary violence “unifies the people” moving them together to create a counterbalance to colonial violence. Fanon argues this local counterviolence goes even further since due to the atmospheric nature of violence, counter violence is not containable across geographical boundaries breaking down old borders and divisions. From within this destruction a new society will be formed without violence based upon Fanon’s view of a…

orbiter to detect warmest region first, then sending our lander to this area and using an internal heating mechanism to keep the equipment functioning. Secondly, our lander will be difficult to slow its speed due to the lack of atmosphere. The atmospheric concentration is much lower than it on Earth. (Astrobiology Magazine, 2005) So we decided to use backward propulsion in the form of jets coming out the bottom of the lander, and it will be activated when the lander reaches to a certain distance…

The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions also depend on where the energy comes from. To produce one tonne of Al, about 12 – 15 MWh of electricity is required, luckily for Quebec, the energy comes from hydroelectric dams which contribute less towards…

plastic remaining where their stomachs had been" (Le Guern Lytle). Not enough people are aware of the deaths of animals that occur because of the plastic and all the litter that is washed up on shore. "According to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, plastic debris kills an estimated 100,000 marine mammals annually, as well as millions of birds and fishes" (Le Guern Lytle). The world’s mistakes have taken its toll on thousands of animals and marine life and not much…

6th BIOLOGICAL CRISIS WHICH MAN IS THE CAUSE ABSTRACT This article will discuss the biological crises the Earth faced since the creation of the living organisms. Then, this article will argue the reasons why human beings generated a 6th biological crisis. Finally, this article will explain what the elements of this 6th biological crisis are. KEYWORDS Biological crisis, Extinction of species, environmental ecosystems, massive extinction, ecological niches, Industrial Era, greenhouses gases,…

Effect of air pollution Air pollution affects the health of people and other animals. Air pollution can affect the health of people and animals, destroy crops or stop them growing properly, and make our world unpleasant and unattractive in a variety of other ways. Human health Air pollution is bad think if we think about it. Sometimes the connection between air pollution and human health is clear; an example is in the Bhopal Disaster in India. And one more example is the incident in London in…

As mentioned above, before the Industrial Age, fisheries had little to no impact on fish populations because of the fact that fishermen were using slow and old methods to catching fish. But when steel ships powered by electricity and advanced weaponry were introduced, fishing became highly mechanized and extremely intensive. Along with this, advances in transportation and refrigeration meant that more people were getting access to fresh fish and were developing the palate…

Introduction Chemistry is one of the broadest scientific subjects that are primarily focused on the manner in which matter interacts with energy. However, chemistry tends to be more focused on the study of the properties of matter as well as the interaction between various types of matter. The interaction is often facilitated by the reactions that involve either electron loss or electron gain, as described by the American Chemical Society (2014). Unlike other sciences, such as physics, chemistry…
