total energy used by man. " (Alternative energy
sources) Solar energy can be converted directly or

the sway of butterfly's wings, can develop into a
storm. At the same time, it opens a theoretical

There is also another way of achieving greater
reliability of wind harvesting, as the source of
energy. The article Wind Power Gathers Speed,
which can be found on the site of Australian
Academy of Science, gives us an insight on how it
