The Rise Of Wind Power In The U.S.

The Rise Of Wind Power In The U.S.

In the past decade, wind power capacity has tripled, and it’s projected to double in the decades to come. Wind is now America’s top renewable source of electricity generation, and the domestic offshore industry is finally taking off, as major manufacturers debut ever larger and more powerful turbines. While the industry faces some challenges with permitting, public opposition from various interest groups, and the obvious intermittency issues, there’s no doubt that wind is poised to play a major role in the energy transition. The question is just how fast it will grow.

Yes, we have solar panels, but they don’t work in the same way plants do. But what if the future Of solar was panels that didn’t create electricity that needed to be used that instant, but instead created fuel that could be used any time? Come join us as we discuss why this technology is so game-changing!

Nuclear power: why is it so unpopular? | The Economist

The meltdown at a nuclear power station in Fukushima, Japan, ten years ago stoked anxieties about nuclear energy. But nuclear is one of the safest, most reliable and sustainable forms of energy, and decarbonising will be much more difficult without it.

Despite being one of the cheapest and most reliable sources of renewable energy, there is no harnessing of heat from the ground outside of Iceland. In this video, we are going to learn what is Geothermal energy, its advantages, and disadvantages, what are those challenges that stop us from getting energy from Earth, and much more. So be sure to watch until the end.

What is geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is heat in the earth. The word geothermal comes from the Greek words ‘geo’ which means earth and ‘therm’ means heat. Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source because heat is continuously produced in the earth. People use geothermal energy to bathe, heat buildings, and generate electricity.

How does it work?
Humans can harvest geothermal energy by:

-Geothermal power plants, using heat from within the earth to generate steam to generate electricity.
And,
-Geothermal heat pumps, using heat near the earth’s surface to heat water or heat buildings.
Geothermal power plant
In geothermal power plants, wells are drilled 1 or 2 miles into the earth to pump steam or hot water to the surface. You’ll likely find one of these power stations in an area with lots of hot springs, geysers, or volcanic activity, as these are places where the earth is extremely hot just beneath its surface.

Now, let’s break down its working step-by-step:
-Hot water is pumped from below through a high-pressure well.
-When the water reaches the surface, the pressure drops, causing the water to turn into steam.
-The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity.
-The steam is cooled in the cooling tower and condensed back into the water.
-The cooled water is pumped back to earth to start the process again.

Not all geothermal energy comes from power plants. Geothermal heat pumps can do everything from heating and cooling homes to heating swimming pools. These systems transfer heat by pumping water or a refrigerant-a special type of liquid, through pipes just below the earth’s surface, where the temperature is constantly between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

How solar energy became the cheapest in history

How solar energy became the cheapest in history

The sun. One of the most powerful energy sources ever available to humans.
The process of exploration this energy began more than two thousand years ago, requiring at first colossal knowledge and skills from a person. Thanks to this labor, today, solar energy has become the cheapest in history. But why, with all its cheapness, is it not used so widely?

The Future of Solar Energy | Perovskite Solar Cells

Perovskite solar cells are a remarkably cheap solar cell technology and have achieved remarkable growth since their inception a decade ago, sharply increasing in efficiency from 3.8% to 25.2%, near to their theoretical efficiency. Thus, the perovskite solar cell could be the future of solar energy. Perovskite solar cells are a new technology and still needs to be scaled up for commercial applications, but perovskites have the potential to revolutionise the energy harvesting market, with cheap, high efficiency solar energy in the near future. In this video, we’ll explore perovskite solar panels and how they might energize our future.

The $50 Water Turbine -DIY, Portable, Powerful, and Open Source

Alternative Energy No Comments »

The  Water Turbine -DIY, Portable, Powerful, and Open Source

Part 3: Real World Field Tests now up on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jl8vHHn7_s
This open source turbine can be built for about half the cost of a 120 watt solar panel, and will produce about ten times the power per day. It can be plugged into any appropriate waterway without the need for earthworks, and uses only basic off the shelf and recycled materials, and basic hand tools.
The turbine is now working and producing power.

Part Two (with full power output results) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibCu0PxIZA4

Help directly support us creating more prototypes and tutorials by joining the channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyjzaMkXTTp9P20UZbxDH6w/join

This technology was produced in partnership with COACT, an open source green tech incubator in Barcelona. COACT exists to help all kinds of innovators working on green technologies. To learn more, and apply for a residency visit https://www.coactlab.org

And thanks to the good people at Ca La Fou (https://calafou.org/) for the rest.

Once the design is optimized I’ll produce a full open source construction tutorial on
the website: https://opensourcelowtech.org
the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/opensourcelowtech.org/
and the Facebook group (which is the main discussion forum): https://www.facebook.com/groups/opensourcelowtech/

My name is Daniel Connell. I prototype and develop basic technologies which anyone can make using recycled materials and simple tools.
The aim is for everyone everywhere to be able to build and maintain their own infrastructure; producing their own energy, food, clean water, communications, and anything else they need.
All designs are open source and license free for any purpose, and full construction tutorials and how-tos are available on the opensourcelowtech.org website.

A couple people have asked if I sell the file for the 3D printed impeller. I don’t, it’s free:
STL (mesh, 28 MB): https://drive.google.com/open?id=18NuQbyD55YhnAM9aj_lBrWgHAxp3iZxE
Iges (nurbs, 14 MB): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HL_y-HwpomukQ7ORQf2E57Zy7ytoWTKN
Feel free to play around and experiment with them however you like, but please let me know how it goes and what your results are, as that’s always good to see.
It seemed to work ok, but I’m going to instead be using computer cooling fans as they seem to do higher revs at lower toque, and be a lot more accessible in other parts of the world.
