be placed far apart, the land in between can be used for other things. The main disadvantage is that it is not constant, as the speed of wind changes, and the energy currently cannot be stored. (Maehlum) Therefore, it must be used along with other sources of energy. (Layton) Land that is suited for wind energy may also be expensive. (Darvill) To use it, a minimum wind speed of 9 miles per hour is needed for small turbines, and 13 miles per hour for large turbines. (Layton) Turbine blades can…

look at the electricity lost in transmission. Saeedifard’s primary focus is at the High Voltage Direct Current transmission technology, and she believes that improving the efficiency of these HVDC substation platforms would greatly benefit the net gain of energy from the wind turbines to consumers in the United States (Purdue Engineering Impact…

On another level, the spade is also the tool to Bruno’s destiny, the word that he struggles to pronounce throughout his reading lesson. The Jew and German is the same in God’s eyes and God mourns for both of them, all other innocent souls, alive and dead and, those that are about to be consumed in the gas chamber, who die together holding hands and know not what the life has for both of them. I believe God mourns for Bruno’s mother too, who does not have the courage to go against her husband’s…

factors to arrive at the final prices. The loss factors relate to the energy losses that take place during the transmission and distribution of electricity. Transmission losses vary by geographic location and distribution losses vary according to the voltage at which the supply is taken. Loss factors are regulated and apply for one year commencing July each year. The Australian Energy Market Operator publishes loss factors…

The carbon supported PtFeS catalysts were prepared by a modified polyol method. In brief, 0.3 g carbon (Ketjen-black heat-treated at 2250 °C, SE = 160 m2 g-1) was dispersed in 135 g ethylene glycol. 5.993 g of 8 wt% H2PtCl6 (Umicore; Pt content, 39.8 wt%), 1.874 g of 8 wt% FeCl3. 6H2O (Sigma-Aldrich), and 0.352 g of 8 wt% (NH2)2SC (Sigma-Aldrich) previously mixed in ethylene glycol were added to the dispersion. The pH of the stirred reaction mixture was adjusted to ∼11 using 1 M NaOH dissolved…

Kanamycin sulphate and rifampicin were purchased from Hangzhou Dayangchem Co., Ltd., Zhejiang, China. Acetonitrile and ethanol (High performance liquid chromatography, HPLC, grade) were purchased from Merck, Germany. Sodium dihydrogen phosphate, phenylisocyanate, triethylamine, orthophosphoric acid (analytical reagent grade) and silicone oil (viscosity 10 cSt) were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, USA. Size 3 hard gelatin capsules were kindly donated by Capsugel Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan.…

11a, lab 1: Motion, Measurement and Statistics In the first lab we will investigate the motion of a ball rolling down an inclined plane. We will use this simple system to investigate the concept of systematic and random measurement uncertainties to understand how much we can trust a measurement. We will then compare the experimental outcome with theory. I. Ball on an inclined plane: Measuring motion We want to measure the motion of a ball that rolls down on an inclined plane…

The ever growing need for electricity, a problem no one is short in awareness for. There has always a constant battle to find the newest, most efficient source of energy. The United States has been ignoring the need for a better source of electricity for way too long, and it has been taking it toll on not only the environment, but also the economy. For years there has been countless promises and plans to fix this ongoing issue, nearly all have failed, and we are left with an unresolved issue…

helpless and frightened. This horrifying change becomes a life altering situation. Similar to the human body, there is a dependence on all parts of the electrical grid to work in harmony. In the United States alone there are “450,000 miles of high-voltage power lines and 160,000 miles of overhead transmission lines connecting electrical power plants to homes and businesses” (Brain and Roos). The electrical power grid was extremely costly to…
