Harnessing Hydroelectricity To harness energy from flowing water, the water must be controlled. A large reservoir is created, usually by damming a river to create an artificial lake, or reservoir. Water is channeled through tunnels in the dam. The energy of water flowing through the dam's tunnels causes turbines to turn. The turbines make generators move. Generators are machines that produce electricity. Hydroelectricity relies on water, which is a clean, renewable energy source. A renewable…

In addition to the numerous environmental concerns, such as oil spills and water contamination, there is concern about the “current eminent domain laws and federal and state regulations will manage the pipeline’s construction.” In January of 2014, the United States Department of the State issued an executive summary…

because plumbing follows fundamental laws of nature such as gravity, pressure and the fact that water always seeks its own level. Plumbing systems are comprised of pipes, values, drains, fittings and fixtures. Most plumbing pipes are made of plastic PVC piping and sometimes galvanized steel. Plumbing systems are actually comprised of two separate, yet equally important subsystems. The first subsystem brings new water in and the second takes old water out. These systems supply water to fixtures,…

the rock shale to increase the temperature to as close to 400 C as possible without going over. As the organic matter is cooked, it needs to be contained by setting up a freeze wall consisting of a closed-loop piping system with cooled liquid. This will freeze the ground water around the piping containing the area. Before approval is granted for this project, this concept is to be tested on a smaller field approximately the size of a football field. Initial calculations and simulations for…

You asked the following question: “I have an existing building with a wet system. The owner is installing a walk-in cooler that will be maintained between 33°F and 39°F with a thermostat. The top of the cooler is approximately 10 feet below the ceiling so I will need to drop sprinklers into the cooler. Are the sprinklers I am dropping into the cooler required to be dry pendent sprinklers or are standard pendent sprinklers acceptable because it is being maintained above 32°F?” In response to…
