Winds

Have you ever seen a powerful wind storm that destroyed houses, uprooted, and totaled cars? What are these mysterious, naturally occurring wind storms? Nobody truly knows how long these mysterious wind storms have been around. They do know this; that they are naturally occurring. These mysterious wind storms are called tornadoes. Tornadoes are very destructive and can cause people to be homeless. What are tornadoes? A tornado is a mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud, and advancing beneath a large storm system. “The most destructive tornadoes are capable of having tremendous destruction, and wind speeds can get around 300 miles per hour!” (Weather Wiz Kids Weather Information…

 What is wind and how it works :- Wind is moving air and is caused by differences in air pressure within our atmosphere, Air under high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure , The greater the difference in pressure, the faster the air flows. Air may not seem like anything at all, in fact, we look right through it all the time, but during a windstorm, air really makes its presence known, Wind is able to lift roofs off buildings, blow down power lines and trees, and cause highway accidents…

Adriana Alvarado Period 1 Nov. 7, 2017 Wind Erosion Background Information: Wind is caused by changes in pressure and temperature in the Earth’s atmosphere. Wind erosion occurs when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind, or gravity. Wind weathering usually occurs during the rainfall. Due to the temperature changes of the sea caused by the sun, the temperature of the surface rises, and the land heats the air above it. This heat causes wind to move…

Hybridization of Wind With Solar Using Cuk and Sepic Converters This chapter presents a hybrid model of solar and wind energy. This gives the hybridization of wind with solar using the CUK and SEPIC converters. In this model the solar PV panel source is connected to the CUK converter and correspondingly the wind turbine source is given to the SEPIC converter. Solar energy and wind energy are the two renewable energy sources most common in use. Hybridizing solar and wind power sources provide a…

Wind energy has been utilized by people since 500 and 900 B.C., to help pump water and grind grain by the Persians. As different cultures harnessed the power wind had to offer, windmills spread from Persia to the surrounding areas of the Middle East. Food Production leaned on windmills extensively. In 5,000 B.C., wind power propelled boats along the Nile River. Wind power technology spread north to the European countries, where windmills helped drain lakes and marches in the Rhine River Delta.…

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is the story of a mans experiences. The first in a trilogy, The Name of the Wind relays the beginning of the main character, Kvothe’s life.

First and foremost, in the novel “The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind”, the author Kamkwamba portrays the significance of chasing your dream. In the text, it said, “If I could somehow get the wind to spin the blades on a windmill and rotate the magnets in a dynamo, I could create electricity. And if I attached a wire to the dynamo, I could power anything, especially a lightbulb. All I needed was a windmill and I could have lights.” (Kamkwamba, 149). William was in despair after he had to drop out of…

activities, which depend on the Sun’s natural occurrences. This paper discusses the important topics of solar plasma, solar wind, as well as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. It also looks at human abilities to capture and use solar wind energy to further space exploration and travel in more efficient techniques and methods. Space weather produces different types of solar activities that affect our Earth and those in space. Most inherently, the interactions between solar wind…

There’s so much more to Gone With The Wind than cheesy, Civil War era, romance. There is race relations and female empowerment, but the book touches on the ugliness of war, the power of the land ownership and land itself, tradition, self reliance, and loss. Margaret Mitchell does a marvelous job of individually addressing separate real life issues of land, family and community, which affected the everyday lives of the characters. Gone With the Wind has a main theme of land possession and love…

form of energy. Wind is one of those forces. It is especially viable in areas that are flat. Wind energy is an up and coming form of renewable energy that will thrive as technology advances. Wind energy is produced by wind turbines. These turbines work kind of like a fan in reverse. Instead of have electricity turn the blades of the fan, wind turns the blades in order to produce electricity. The blades are connected to a shaft inside the turbine and when the wind turns blades, the blades turn…
