With the world’s ever increasing demand of power being more than it’s supply, it is about time that concrete steps to save power. Apart from being conscious about the usage of power and water at home, one can employ pollution free and cost effective power solutions at our homes. Solar power solutions and wind energy [...]
We have been using the energy of the wind for thousands of years. There were boats propelled by wind sailing along the Nile River in 5000 B.C. By 200 B.C., there were simple windmills in China pumping water. At the same time Persian were using vertical-axis windmills with woven reed sails to grind grain. People [...]
Renewable wind energy is the fastest growing source of power of any renewable energy sources and technologies. With renewable wind energy, the flow of air turns wind turbines to create electricity. As the speed of the wind turning the turbines increases, the amount of power the turbine produces increases as well. In areas where winds [...]
Wind energy is a converted form of solar energy. The sun’s radiation heats different parts of the earth at different rates?most notably during the day and night, but also when different surfaces (for example, water and land) absorb or reflect at different rates. This in turn causes portions of the atmosphere to warm differently. Hot [...]
Fuel prices went as high as $15 per thousand cubic foot as compared with previous years’ $5-$7 averages. This trend has alarmed various groups- like economists and environmentalist– and are now promoting energy and environmental advocacies. With the cost (and pollution levels) of traditional energy sources such as burning coal and other burnt resources being [...]
