Whenever people think about art they imagine famous paintings and drawings done in the past by famous artists around the world. However, there is an art style that is relatively new and eye appealing for me. It is called kinetic art. The article that I chose for this essay is called “Kinetic art to be displayed in science building” by Emma Klitzke. It is published by the University Wire of Carlsbad. Furthermore, the article was written on March 16, 2017. I used the ProQuest database in order to…

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;…

of solar radiation. Germany does have a solar cell that systematically works more efficient than others. Europe as a whole is beginning to catch up with Germany using solar power. France does lead in using thermal energy which is another form of photovoltaic cells. The United States is in fourth place using solar panels. The leading state is California. The California Solar Initiative develops more efficient solar panels for the state of California. The state of California alone has two…

The power of the sun is what makes life on Earth possible. Efforts to harness solar energy in concentrated form have long been a human pursuit. Solar technology has existed since the 19th century and has received substantial government support since at least the 1970s. Despite these efforts, solar power comprises less than 1% of U.S. electricity generation (History of Solar Power, para.1, 2016). There have been many applications besides bulk power generation, and the solar-powered vehicle is one…

SWOT Analysis It is important to know oneself in order to succeed in life. One of the tools in which one can use to do this is by the use of a SWOT analysis in which one identifies his strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. These are basically internal and external factors which influence the decisions that one make in their life more so in their career. This paper will contain elements of my own SWOT analysis, my action plan and highlight some of the benefits of such and analysis…

The sun is the biggest producer of energy man has ever known. It is also just a normal sized star. Most of this energy is wasted however. On an average day the sun produces so much energy it would power everything we own for the rest of our lives. The solar rays produced from the sun are what can be used as an energy source (Locke, S.). Knowing this many people are harvesting this energy to produce power. This is why solar energy is becoming one of the most popular ways of producing energy.…

86% of the country’s installed photovoltaic power production capacity respectively [14]. Worldwide, there is less of a correlation between insolation and installed capacity. Germany is the world leader in photovoltaic installations, and represents 32% of the world’s peak photovoltaic power capacity of 102GW; however, its typical insolation levels are relatively low. The United States, containing large areas with above-average insolation levels, had a peak photovoltaic power capacity of 8043MW as…

Whether or Not America Should Make the Shift to Renewable Energy? The concept of a shining future fueled by an infinite cache of energy has existed for ages. Yet, in the current year of 2015, that concept is still far from being a reality. Many countries around the world are still highly dependent on fossil fuels in order to meet their daily needs. Why, in a time full of ever advancing technology, is this the case? Should America make the shift to renewable energy a priority? Opinions vary…

Expectations and Motivation Letter Study Research Objectives: Waiting 48 hours only to get 3 hours of electricity to watch highlights of my favorite soccer team was an unpleasant norm. The more concerning fact was the knowledge that we were among the 7% of the population who had access to electricity. The service was mediocre at best and mostly unreliable. I decided to take part in solving the problem, but as a 9-year-old child, how could I take on this great task? This is when I began setting…
