Turbine

is “thermal power plant, primarily used for electricity generation, in which the nuclear binding energy released during the nuclear fission in a reactor is converted to heat and subsequently into electrical energy via a water-steam circuit using a turbine and generator”. Nuclear power plants operate in most states and can produce up to 20 percent of the nation’s power. Enrico Fermi won a Nobel Prize for creating the first nuclear chain reaction in all of the world. Nearly almost 3 million…

Uranium is a very heavy metal, which can be used as an abundant source of concentrated energy. The problem is that why do we think nuclear power is good? And why not use wood or coal or something other that nuclear power. Science has identified this issue when they monitored how much resources we use and we have to understand how we won’t run out of resources. This issue affects us because one day we will run out of resources such as coal gas or oil and it will lead to a difficult like which…

LPG (liquified petroleum gas and crude oil. The method that is used to extract usable energy from combustible energy is by putting it through a fossil fuel power station. In these power plants, fuels are burnt to produce steam which drives large turbines, producing energy. This energy is then transported to our houses for our everyday conventional use. Using Fossil fuels generates energy but at the same time results in greenhouse gas byproducts. Gas is often referred to a cleaner…

For hydrogen bomb, it is unquestionable that the “ingredients” are made solely from hydrogen. However, that is not the case for atomic bomb. There is several elements available that can be used to make an atomic bomb. First material available is Uranium-235 which has been used by the United States during the Hiroshima bombing. The power produced by one kilogram of this element is equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT (“How Do Nuclear Weapons Work?”). The other material that is available to use is…

which directly convert solar energy into electricity. The most established PV technologies are crystalline silicon based systems. They yield high output of electricity but require direct sunlight. Wind energy is converted to electricity through turbines. Turbines capture wind and spin. The spinning blades are connected to an electric generator that produces electricity. Wind energy is completely emission free. Increasing the use of solar and wind energy can decrease the use of fossil fuels,…

Rules & Regulations One of the great features with the Ecocapsule is being able to have it transported to and from remote locations whether its by Car, Boat, or Helicopter. While you are planning a place to have it relocated to, there are different regulations that you should be awake of. Here in British Columbia there are large First Nation Reserves, provincial parks, Crown Land and private property that have varying rules on the personal use of these properties. There are also regulations…

Could we be in a time in which unions and environmentalist can work and come up with mutual ideas together? Members in the United Steel workers and Sierra Group decided to join forces to improve not only the amount of jobs but also the quality of those jobs. In addition to solutions to the energy crises, establishing wages that families can live off on, a bright retirement, and a promise for health and safety on a job. In 2006 both groups decided on the name The BlueGreen Alliances, a…

Nuclear power plants have increased over the United States since the 1940s. In the states, there are 99 nuclear power plants. With all these plants, nearly three million Americans live within 10 miles of one. Citizens of Yankton live fairly close to a nuclear power plant which is Pathfinder Nuclear Generating Station located near the city of Sioux Falls. During the 1960, Sioux Falls was a hub of industry and productivity in South Dakota at the time. This made Sioux Falls the ideal place for…

• Compression ignition engine (CI engine or Diesel engine) :- These are mainly used in large vehicles and industrial systems • Gas turbine: - These are mainly used in aircrafts due to its high power/weight ratio and it can also be used for stationary power…

Overview A 9.0 magnitude earthquake began on March 11th, 2011 at 2:46 PM and lasted 3 minutes (World Nuclear Association, 2016). The earthquake was centered 130 km off the shore of Sendai Myagi on the east coast of Honshu Island. Consequentially, the island to move four meters to the east and surrounding coastlines were subsided by up to one meter. The earthquake also created a tsunami reaching as high as 40 meters. At the time of the earthquake, there were 11 nuclear reactors operating in the…
