The Fresnel lens was first invented by French physicist Augustine Fresnel and at first were a simple, beehive resembling contraption with a light source in the middle, but then it developed into something that mirrored a bull’s eye with a more powerful beam (Fresnel Lenses). The Michigan Lighthouse Conservancy went on to explain that the Fresnel lens was created for the sole purpose of installation within lighthouses. The efficiency and power of a Fresnel lens allowed its design to emit a source…
We're hoping with the emergence of new street light technologies and renewable energy technologies that street lights could be install in many rural areas throughout the country. Eklere Fon Papay Solar Powered Lighting Project is being created by the members of the Fon Papay community to install new solar powered street light on the Haiti's National Route #5, section of Bas Bassin-Bleu also known as Fon Papay, commonly referred to as the "Teresman." The Teresman is approximately two (2) miles…
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…
For example, the non-profit organizations: WE CARE Solar and Solar Cities. They are dedicated to providing solar energy to help the quality of life in regions like Africa, Haiti, and Cairo. Because we are marketing solar power units that do not require to be modified specifically to each individual - except for various standard sizes, and because we want to keep our costs of producing…
Cells have specific structures within them that allow them to carry out their functions; these structures are called organelles. Organelles have different functions within a cell that is called Division of Labor. They are also classified in two different groups, membranous and non-membranous. Membranous organelles are surrounded by a membrane while of course, non-membranous are not surrounded by a membrane. When describing the organelles and their function, first will be the membranous…
nucleus. To start off, I am going to start with the one in charge of the whole cell or town. The one that is in charge of the cell is the nucleus. In a town it is the mayor or the town hall. There is a reason why I way that is because the mayor makes the laws in the town hall, so basically the mayor is the nucleolus and the town hall is the nucleus.…
else. “Origami has had a big impact on my life by helping NASA build satellites.” let me explain. NASA is trying to build a satellite that can be compacted to fit inside of a rocket. Using origami, they can make a solar panel that can fold to fit the diameter of the body tube. Solar cells could be transferred to a strong, foldable paper. So when it goes into space it folds out to it’s actual size and generate power to run the satellite.…
During a series of ecological disasters including an ice age and a period of extensive solar radiation, the tardigrade, one of nature’s “extremophiles”, was able to evolve physically to the extent where the microscopic organism can decrease its metabolism to a miniscule amount making it able to survive whatever conditions it faces. As it is unknown to how the tardigrade was able to evolve to that extent, a plausible answer is contingency, a theory that evolution sometimes occurs by chance.…
school at annual Talent Show, I spoke about the solar system and displayed a model with rotating planets. My passion and past experiences made me pass entrance test at Troy High School, where the Honor Biology class allotted during my ninth grade, and by maintaining a grade I was allowed to have AP Biology during my Junior Year. Biology lab enhanced my practical learning where I observed mitosis in developing embryonic cell of white fish, and plant cell both in Zea Mays Leaf (monocot) and…
six Basic Energies of the Universe. The transformation of the Universe is eternal ongoing process of unfolding or engaging of those energies in ‘construction’ – ‘the Thoughts crystallization’ or ‘dissolution’ or ‘Thoughts De-crystallizations of the solar systems and galaxies – the worlds appear from and disappear into darkness. It is strictly local, process, but it is regular all over and universally valid, for all ‘viewpoints’ in all mental zones, throughout the vast Universe. It is worth…
