The method of magnetic surveying= The Earth’s magnetic field Magnetic field exists around us. We could not see and feel them, but we can measure them with sensitive instruments, called magnetometers. The Earth’s magnetic field is approximately the same as would be produced by a large bar magnet near earth’s centre oriented with the positive [...]
The book is divided into ten chapters which deal with a different technology (although there was some contention, as raised by the author, with the ‘Soils and Forests’ Chapter). Typically every chapter covers the advantages, disadvantages and viability (economically and technologically) of the technology. With regards to wind power, Goodall argues that since the technology [...]
Reflective insulation and radiant barriers reduce the radiation of heat to or from the surface of a material. Radiant barriers will reflect radiant energy. A radiant barrier by itself will not affect heat conducted through the material by direct contact or heat transferred by moist air rising or covection. For this reason, trying to associate [...]
Tankless water heaters, also called instantaneous, continuous flow, inline, flash, on-demand or instant-on water heaters, are also available and gaining in popularity. These water heaters instantly heat water as it flows through the device, and do not retain any water internally except for what is in the heat exchanger coil. Tankless heaters are often installed [...]
The continued reliance on fossil fuels in the United States is having drastic consequences to the environment, and continued reliance on foreign oil threatens national security and economic well-being. Alternative energy technologies have a number of strengths and weaknesses. This book examines the various technologies from the standpoints of economics, environmental impact, domestic resource potential, [...]
The main components of the drive system of any electrically powered boat are similar in all cases, and similar to the options available for any electric vehicle. Charger Electric energy has to be obtained for the battery bank from some source. * Mains charger allows the boat to be charged from shore-side power when available. [...]
The most commonly used PCMs are salt hydrates, fatty acids and esters, and various paraffins (such as octadecane). Recently also ionic liquids were investigated as novel PCMs. As most of the organic solutions are water-free, they can be exposed to air, but all salt based PCM solutions must be encapsulated to prevent water evaporation or [...]
The micro-inverter as a concept has been in the solar industry since it’s inception. Micro-inverters are also becoming increasingly popular and are commonly built into wind energy turbines. These wind energy machines are often referred to as micro wind turbines and follow a similar growing trend within the solar industry. Companies like OK4U, Ascension, AES, [...]
Heat storage allows a solar thermal plant to produce electricity at night and on overcast days. This allows the use of solar power for baseload generation as well as peak power generation, with the potential of displacing both coal and natural gas fired power plants. Additionally, the utilization of the generator is higher which reduces [...]
