The Impacts Of Chernobyl Nuclear Accident In Us
752 wordsThe Impacts of Chernobyl Nuclear Accident in the US Nuclear energy used to be a dream energy source because it did not emit air pollutants as long as they were operating properly. The US government and Utility Companies invested billions of dollars to build and develop nuclear power plants. However, its magic was collapsed on April 26, 1986. A series of explosions in a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl blew the massive roof off the reactor building and flung radioactive debris and dust high into ...

Hydrogen And Oxygen Combustion Engines
1,015 wordsHard to believe that the simplest atom in the universe is used in the making of the most destructive weapon known to man isnt it? Well so is the fact that it will soon (we hope) become the replacement for petroleum-based fuels, and just about every other form of fuel too. One electron orbiting one proton is all that hydrogen is, and it is mankind's future. It is easy to manufacture, (although the government says otherwise, ) safe and easy to store, and has only one by-product water. The way that...

Coal And Oil Lot Of Money
1,888 wordsAll energy sources have negative and positive aspects. Coal and oil pollute the environment, nuclear fission produces toxic waste, and solar heaters are not efficient. When compared to other energy sources, hydroelectricity has fewer disadvantages and is being explored and widely used today. Throughout the world an increasing amount of people are turning towards hydroelectric power as a new source of energy. Although the idea of converting water to power might seem simple, the process it must go...

Solid State Lasers Beam Of Light
1,749 wordsL A S E R S Did you know that some laser beams are small enough and powerful enough to drill two hundred holes on a spot as tiny as the head of a pin? The first major advancement in laser development came in 1954. This was the year that Charles H. Townes, an American physicist, created a device that amplified microwaves. This device was actually called a maser at first, which was short for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation Masers. It produced microwaves of just one freq...

Renewable Energy Sources Burning Of Fossil Fuels
994 wordsShifting Power Since the beginning of industry humans have been in search of fuel to power machines and generate energy. Fossil fuels, such as crude oil and coal, discovered beneath the Earth s surface were found to be an excellent source of fuel. These fossil fuels are burnt in order to generate the energy required to complete various tasks. However, we are now realizing the problems that are created by using fossil fuels to generate energy. These problems are so great that they will force huma...

Burning Of Fossil Fuels Source Of Energy
1,627 wordsHydrogen: The Energy Source of the Future There have been many stories in the newspapers, on TV and on the radio about the state that our planet is in, and most of the time they are not too positive. We hear about pollution, and global warming most frequently, which are both caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels. Because of this, organizations and governments have started to invest money in researching alternate forms of energy that are less polluting and that do not contribute to global ...

Solid State Lasers Beam Of Light
1,373 wordsA laser (LAY zum) is a device that produces a very narrow beam of light. This is called coherent light. It is formed from producing light at equal wavelengths in phase. The result is a beam of light that does not stray from it? s path. Conventional light bulbs produce incoherent light. This form of light diffuses immediately upon radiation from its source. The size of a laser beam varies greatly. Some lasers produce beams that are small enough to fit 200 beams in an area the size of a pinhead. T...
