operating expenses that businesses face. With the falling price of solar panels, it is becoming more lucrative for large companies to use solar energy to lower their operating costs. The commercial solar sector has seen large growth in the last few years with large companies such as Walmart, Costco, Kohl’s, and Ikea implementing systems on their large buildings across the country (Solar Means Business). Renewable energy including solar has recently received a boost in private and…

The concept of Oil Fracking was first tapped into by Col. Edward Roberts, a civil war veteran. During the battle of Fredericksburg VA he drew the concept from exploding artillery into a narrow canal obstructing the battlefield (Manfreda J.). In 1866, Robert patented the “Exploding Torpedo”. A long rod shaped self- propelled underwater missile was packed into an iron case with 15-20 pounds of powder (Manfreda J.). Underground the case was placed right above the oil reserve, the wire on land was…

get energy without the burning of fossil fuels. But some people say that non-renewable energy is too much money, and not as reliable compared to the burning of fossil fuel. What I was to find is if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of using solar energy, Hydroelectric, wind energy, and Nuclear energy for our energy sources. I also want to understand how each of the non-renewable energy systems work and what technology they use. INTRODUCTION Global warming is…

History is the recording of past events in time. The record keeping of our past is the reason we have what we have today; everything from government and military ideas all the way down to tradition and religion. If it was not for people keeping a record of everything that happened, whether it be good or bad, it is what helped shape the human race and evolve us into what we have become today. Although every group of people has their own structure and belief systems, the reason behind why they are…

fossil fuel? Our solution to the dependence on fossil fuel is solar energy. Solar energy is the primary source of power for humans to use thousands of years and appears every day for free. Indians used the sun to dry hides, herbs, and meats for storage. Prior to the invention of the clothes dryer, people used a line pulled tight between two poles or structures to hang clothes on for the sun to dry. In more recent times, people use solar energy to power their homes. Previous methods of…

overuse of fossil fuels, scientists hope to replace them with four alternative energy resources. The four alternative energy resources are solar power, nuclear power, wind power, and hydroelectric power. Solar energy is derived from the sun. It is considered to be a valuable resource because, unlike fossil fuels, it is inextinguishable. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, there are four ways to harness it: photovoltaics,…

In this study, the effect of benzenethiol ligand on CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots was investigated. Conventional long-chain oleic acid (OA) and trioctylphosphine (TOP) capping ligands were partially replaced by short benzenethiol ligands, and the improvement in the luminescence performance was observed in quantum dot light emitting diodes (QD-LED). Approximately 1.8 fold improvement was achieved for both the maximum luminance and maximum current efficiency for the QD-LEDs fabricated with…

proves to be living beyond the technology of today. The device is in the interstellar space and is out to make history. Travelling at a speed of 38, 000 miles per hour, the device is set to be the first man-made feature to ever exit the currently known solar system and explore the far galaxies (Cowen, 2013). This success can be attributed to the robust design of the probe, the powerful boost the device was given by its rocket and the propulsion it gained as it traversed Jupiter and Saturn.…

convieneces to solar power, but of course nothing is perfect. It is more convienet for the consumer because they will not have to purchase things to run their house or car, they could just have the solar pannels themselves and be independent. The one and major inconveience of solar power is what do you do on a cloudy day? Or if one place does not get a lot of sun how can it run? Advantages: Solar energy is a renewable resource that is environmentally friendly. Unlike fossil fuels, solar…
