How can I power a couple small appliances using solar power?
What would I need to power a small fan, some LED lights, ect in my home, without spending hundreds or thousands of dollers? How would I set it up? I think I would need a Solar Panel, a AC/DC converter or some kind, and a Battery? Any Help! Thanks!
What is the main difference between gasoline powered and electric hybrid cars?
It’s for homework. Again, no stupid answers, please. Only want a straight answer.
How hard would it be to turn soybeans into a biofuel?
My cousin’s farm grows 100 acres of soybeans annually I would just like to know what would go in to turning it into bio-fuels. Any help would be great I can’t find anything on it.
How can cars that run on gasoline be converted to run on hydrogen fuel cell?
I previously posted a question on can cars be converted to fun from gasoline to hydrogen fuel cell. many of you said yes but i still dont know how it can be converted and exactly how much will it cost? thanks a bunch!
Where can I find a grant for alternative fuel or the use of hydrogen?
Already looked at grants.gov. Thanks.
How does the digital energy-conserving electricity work?.?
Energy-saving devices for digital electric appliances, the integration process is relatively complex, the simple, Energy-saving device is a digital household appliances launched frequently against the inrush current and the pulse voltage suppressor, Clean lines, and can focus on the existing power grid and low voltage, etc., Matching the overall use of the composition of the […]
Did you know that petroleum probably ISN’T a fossil fuel?
More importantly, that if petroleum IS abiogenic, then there’s a lot more than people think, and should be a lot cheaper… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenic_petroleum_origin The only arguments for it being a “fossil-fuel” are A: There’s fossils mixed in with “most” test samples, and B: If it’s “gonna run out soon,” they can jack up the price… According […]
Is it beyond reason to suspect Industrial Sabotage on the Deep Water Horizon or should such thoughts be mocked?
I think it is standard procedure for both Political Parties to mock and ridicule any implied Conspiracy. But setting aside the mockery who would profit from such Skulduggery. If you follow the Money it would point to the alternative Energy Lobby maybe even Atomic Energy and it’s supporters
Is this an unexplored solution to energy conservation?
Rather than pour all our money into energy exploration, new energy sources, technology, etc.; is it cheaper to make us all able to see in the dark? We have night vision technology, and medical and genetic technology has increased substantially over the past few years. Has anyone done any experimentation with lab rats to see […]
How does Nikola Tesla and his inventions apply to chemistry?
For chemistry, I have to explain how Nikola Tesla pertained to chemistry… and I honestly can’t think of how to tie what he did to chemistry in any way… Help?
do bible promotes photo voltaic cells (solar panel)?
How much energey can the following Savonius Wind Turbine generate?
Take a look at this: http://www.re-energy.ca/pdf/wind-turbine.pdf Approxamatley how much energy can this generate? I probably won’t use it in real winds, just with one of those fireplace pumper things that you open and close and it shoots air out of the little nozzle, if you don’t know what I’m talking about then don’t bother… >.>
how does a sailboat or other wind-powered device get back where to it started?
This confuses me. If a wind powered device such as a sailboat or a kiteboarder is following the wind, how do they get back to where they started? or do they?
Could mirrors reflecting and focusing sunlight be used to make steam to power electric generators?
And could insulated water tanks be large enough to retain enough super heated water to generate steam to power the generators be used to act as a buffer so that through the night and on low light days electricty production would be steady without varible output allowing for steady production 24/7/365 if it was sited […]
If pursuing alternative energy (solar, wind, etc) have a lot of benefits, why do some people still oppose it?
Wouldn’t it create more jobs and be better for the environment, and also reduce dependency on foreign oil? What are some reasons why some people are against alternative energy?
I am considering a solar panels. How can I tell if my area gets enough solar energy a year to be worthwhile?
I want to know how I can determine my area’s (Rochester NY) yearly solar energy output to see if it would make economic sense to install solar panels. Any websites or resources where I can look?
Ion Propulsion question?
NASA’s Deep Space 1 probe used ion propulsion technology to propel it into outer space. Ion propulsion uses an electric charge to ionize atoms such as xenon. These ions are funneled from the exhaust of the craft at such high speends that it is pushed in the opposite direction and propelled into space. The electrical […]
Would hydroelectric power using the ocean and deserts below sea level work?
The Dead Sea, Death Valley, and various other places are below sea level and no more than a few hundred miles from the ocean. Would it work to build very large pipelines from the ocean to these places and then generate hydroelectric power from the water flowing from the ocean to these places? Obviously, we […]
what are the disadvantages of using geothermal energy?
i have to do a project on geothermal energy. can anyone tell me the disadvantages of using it?
