art” for one command line, leading me to my article. Kinetic art is a unique art style that differentiate itself from other art form. The article states that the Concordia’s science building will house an artwork in conjunction with its display of solar power technology. The artwork is a unique because it is a kinetic sculpture that will be created by Jeffrey Zachmann. The purpose is to bring a greater…

push towards alternative energy. Some are still non-renewable, like nuclear energy, but are much cleaner for the atmosphere than fossil fuels, while most of them are renewable and clean. The most common renewable energies are wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydro energies. Renewable energies produced about 16.6% of the world’s energy in 2010, and this number is expected to rise by 42% of their total in the decade from 2010-2020 (Pazheri et al., 2014). Renewable energies are currently being…

Cameroon has the resources available to be an exporter of electricity through hydroelectric power. So far the republic of Cameroon produces electrical energy from two hydroelectric stations who provide the services for those that can afford it. Out of the 1.2 billion people in the world without electricity, Cameroon is home to 10 million of the people without access to electricity. Almost half of the residents, 45%, in Cameroon do not have access to any type of electricity. And the rural areas…

Restoring pinball machines is a fun hobby. It's also a nice career, especially for those that operate arcades. Whether for fun or work, one thing you'll need to address is pinball lighting. Pinball machines have several light bulbs that make the machine bright and flashy. In the past, traditional incandescent light bulbs were used. However, in today's world LED light bulbs are making a statement. Aside from being bright and colorful, LED light bulbs offer many benefits when used in pinball…

Renewable energy are a source of green energy, environment friendly, but more important in the socio economic aspect, especially since they provide thousands of green job opportunities, and can lead to a new regional industrial cluster. Solar energy is artlessly the energy produced directly by the sun and collected in the earth. The sun produces its energy by a thermonuclear process that transforms about 650,000,000 tons of hydrogen to helium every second. The process creates heat and…

One of the cost saving features Foothill has invested in, is solar panels on the roof of their maintenance building. Above you can see the plan view and on the right the perspective from the ground. According to Mr.Lim, solar energy accounts for 20% of the energy used at the facility. The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) endorsed Foothill Transit for reaching the Platinum Level, not only is this the highest recognition possible in the APTA Sustainability Commitment Program;…

the hydrosphere, parts of the lower atmosphere, and parts of the upper lithosphere. Every part of the ecosphere is connected. Briefly describe how the sun, gravity, and nutrient cycles sustain life on earth. 1. Solar energy flows through materials…

that do not address the root cause of the non sustainable energy dilemma and they also exclude large portions of the population. There has been a trend to try to get the public to be more responsible in their energy consumption at home and at work, but this approach still ignores the root cause of the problem, using an unsustainable energy source. Even if people reduced their energy usage, having coal plants is not a sustainable energy source that can continue to be used in the future and…

Anyone who hears the name Testa stops to listen because this famous brand built a golden reputation from their electric vehicles. Now, they have released the Solar Roof, which blends non-solar tiles with solar, and it's intended to replace the solar panels of today. Everyone knew the panels would launch in 2017, but no one could estimate the actual cost of the panels. Now that they've released the price, everyone's wondering if the cost is worth it. What to Expect on Price The estimated cost…

Anna’s Speech (education) If you are with Evaness there will be different and better laws for education. One being no homework allowed. This will help students to get more sleep and be less stressed, which results in better grades. Colleges are very expensive. By cutting tuition expenses from colleges, with the exception of Ivy League University colleges, we can get more students in college’ who don’t have enough money to pay tuition. This will lead to the citizens of America to be more…
