Since I had such huge success with my salt water powered car, I decided to put a spin on the sale of my products. I decided to make something like a car, but also spice it up a little bit. What I did was I made it inflatable and able to run on water. With that being said it was a fully functional car, but if you ever wanted to take it across the water to maybe shorten a trip or just for pure enjoyment then you could do so. I didn’t really need this product to keep my car company at the top.…

There are many opportunities to reduce one’s consumption and to better manage one’s waste by taking advantage of the establishments in Ottawa designed for such a purpose. Bulk Barn is an excellent store for those seeking to reduce, or better yet, eliminate, all plastic products from their life. One need only bring a reusable container to a Bulk Barn location, and then fill it with a large variety of grains, flours, spices and dried beans, all while foregoing plastic packaging. Not only is…

5.3. Ventilation: No matter the courtyard is small or big in these two buildings, the ventilation still has very small values, due to the closing massive walls towards the outside and opening towards the inside in the origin design, and the semi-closed windows later during the operation. Both buildings need an increase of ventilation ranging between 0.06-0.1 m/s comparing with 0.15 m/s of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard for occupant comfort (ANSI/ASHRAE 1992), taking into account the consideration of…

Green architecture is an approach to building, also known as green building or construction or even sustainable building has become more popular in the last 25 to 30 years, is the practice of creating an environmentally responsible that has the structure and resource effect throughout a building lifestyle from design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction. Green building are designed to make the classical buildings concern about the economy, utility, durability and…

This means that the cost of electricity will be reduced saving the business money. If there are a lot of windows within in a building, there is the potential to make a building either very warm or very cold. For example, in seasons were the weather is usually warmer such as summer, a lot of sunlight will get through the windows leaving the building very warm. This may cause the employees to become very uncomfortable and unable to complete their work effectively. Therefore, a business…

As you consume bottled water, you are also taking the risk to get cancer and various reproductive damages. Human body need water, it is our biological needs. However, people choose to drink bottled water is just for them to meet their secondary needs. If you could choose between bottled water and drink water fresh out from the tap, I believe you would go for bottled water. No doubt that our body needs water to survive. In US, most of the people have the access to tap water, but there is a large…

3. Occurrence of the Accident/Incident The freighter SS Fort Stinkine which is a cargo ship arrived at Bombay on Friday, 12 April, 1944 No one in the Dock area was aware about the dangerous cargo which she was carrying. Normally a red flag has to be flagged to indicate the explosive but avoided due to war time.Emergency A certificate has been issued by the Dock yard higher officials to unload it in priority basis. Unloading of the ship commenced immediately. However while unloading the lube…

This lab module covers the subjects of optical spectroscopy of gas discharges and bond stiffness of materials. Optical spectroscopy can be observed using different types of equipment, such as, a spectrometer, a light collecting fiber, and tubes of certain types of gas (He, H2O, H2 and O2). The data collected displays the peak wavelengths for each of the gases, which can be used to determine the energy released when the electrons change energy levels. Overall, it was interesting to see how…

tonnes finish in oceans (Parker 2015). Only 15% of the total plastic production is recycled. The rest of the waste ends up in oceans, beaches, rivers and streets. In fact, the so-called Pacific Garbage Patch is constituted entirely by remnants of this material. Plastics are produced from fossil fuels, a source of clean energy, which causes emissions of greenhouse gases, and non-renewable because in a few years its reserves will be exhausted. But a solution to the problem of plastic waste could…

due to various reasons: Uncertainties in loading or environment Defects in material Inadequacy in design Deficiency in construction or maintenance The strength of materials can be increased significantly. But sometimes this comes at the cost of reduced ductility of the material. For example, strength of steel can be increased by manipulating the microstructure. But this increases the brittleness of the material. Thus, a member can fail catastrophically due to crack formation and…
