Energy Riot

I've done a courtesy search for the term for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• Living Green

  Have you ever heard the phrase, “Save the Planet, Be Green”? Our planet has been around for about 4.5 billion years. The Earth has seen meteoroid strikes, super volcanoes, and even dinosaur poop. What an ignorant people we must be to think that we are going to destroy our planet in a few short decades.… Continue reading »

• Solar Photovoltaic

  Photovoltaic Cells Convert Sunlight into Electricity A photovoltaic cells are strung together to make a panel, commonly known as a solar panel. This technology will convert solar energy directly into electrical power. A photovoltaic cell is a non-mechanical, meaning it has no moving parts and is generally made from silicon alloys. Photons Carry Energy Sunlight… Continue reading »

• Where Solar Energy is Found

  Solar Energy Is Everywhere the Sun Shines Solar energy is the Earth’s most available source of energy. Solar energy generation is able of providing many times our current energy demand. However, it is a sporadic source of energy, meaning that the amount of energy you would get would be the same all the time. However,… Continue reading »

• Solar

  Our Sun outputs a massive amount of energy every second, and has been for over 4 billion years. The amount of energy the Sun puts out is around 3.4 Yattowatts, or 3.4×10^26 watts. All of this energy can be converted into different useful forms, such as, electricity and heat. Most solar energy can be collecting… Continue reading »

• Nuclear Power, Good or Bad?

  Nuclear energy is created by splitting uranium atoms by a process called nuclear fission. This process releases energy in the form of heat that can then be used to create electricity. Nuclear power accounts for approximately 19% of the US electricity production. More than 100 nuclear plants are currently in operation in the US, however,… Continue reading »

• Where does your Trash go?

  This will really depend on where live, but many states and counties will be similar. Let me tell you where my trash goes where I live in Davis County, Utah. All of the waste that I throw out is taken to Wasatch Integrated. Most of the waste goes to the “burn plant” or Energy Recovery… Continue reading »

• Swamp Coolers Vrs. Air Conditioners, Energy Savings of

  What is more energy efficient an air conditioner or a swamp cooler? Much misleading information is published about air conditioners being more efficient and an energy savings over using a swamp cooler. An air conditioner typically does have a higher efficiency rated motor and compressor to save as much energy as possible. The motors are… Continue reading »

• Motor Efficiencies

  Motors are all around us, there in our ceiling fans, our treadmills, refrigerators, clothes dryer, and even the vibrater in your cell phone. Motors constitutes 50% or more of all the energy you use every day. Not all the motors are the same, they come in many different shapes, sizes, and even have a wide… Continue reading »

• Green Energy, What is?

  Green energy is energy that is produced in a manner that has less of a negative impact to the environment than energy sources like fossil fuels. Common ‘greener’ types of energy include solar, wind, geothermal and hydro energy. There are several more, even including nuclear energy, that is sometimes considered a green energy source because… Continue reading »
