Our world has been in existence for billions of years and throughout all those years we have used the sun for basic energy needs. So why not be able to harness that energy and use it to power things like our homes or our cars? Many scientist have been developing alternate forms of energy called "Green Energy." Green power is the solution to creating a cleaner, sustainable energy system. Renewable energy--power from the sun, wind, plants, and moving water--is a natural way to meet our energy needs

Background Living organisms are dependent on energy. Chemical energy is formed through the conversion of sunlight by organisms such as bacteria and plants. It is through this process that food is formed for other organisms. Nature only consumes the amount of energy supplied by the sun. A part of the solar energy consumed by nature (animals, plants and their habitats) is transformed into chemical energy and is sealed off eternally from the atmosphere, stored as biomass. 80% of our current energy

Eagle Ford Shale Play Introduction The Eagle Ford shale formation in south Texas has recently become the focus of many oil industry operators searching for new sources of hydrocarbons by using the latest technology in previously unexplored areas. This exploration enhances the development of even more advanced techniques as issues are identified and problems solved to address the unique properties of the formation and the surrounding surface environment. Even though a formation may be comprised of

Study of Oxidation of Stainless Steel in Hot rolling Background Studies on the oxidation of stainless in hot rolling have obtained much attention during the last few decades where the finishing temperature ranges from 850-1100 °C. Oxidation is the formation of oxide rich scale that slows down further oxidation when formed. In stainless steels at elevated temperatures (up to 1100°C), this oxide scale is necessary as it is predominantly chromium rich and prevents further oxidation. On the other hand

The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Disaster It is a silent enemy, it has no odor, no smell, no shape, yet it is one of man’s deadliest foes. Radiation is not something most people face on a daily basis, but for the town of Prypiat in the Ukraine it is a barren wasteland because of it. The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster was the worst nuclear catastrophe to have ever occurred and, is a perfect example of what can happen when the blind and unmasked furry of atomic power is left unharnessed

INTRODUCTION The world today is entirely dependent on various means of transportation for their day to day and hence a more rapid and reliable source of transportation is must. People today recognizes aero plane as the fastest means of transportation which has its own disadvantages and there were no other options available till the beginning of the 20th century , but with the development in technology there were other means of transport which came into action and one of which was the MAGLEV TRAIN

The Gulf War The Gulf War was much more than a fight to liberate Kuwait. It was the first non-conventional war; in which new, fairly new, or even experimental weapons were used. The Gulf War displayed much new technology that you will learn lots about in this paper. This paper may sound very technical, but that is what it is about, the new weapon technology vs. the conventional types of weapons used in previous wars. This paper is about the advancement of weapon technology, and how the
