THE MARVEL OF WATER ENERGY

THE MARVEL OF WATER ENERGY. Using the movement of water to generate power for machinery and other applications was discovered thousands of years, dating back to ancient Greece, and has remained a reliable means of producing energy through civilization. In ancient Greece, the Greeks created large wheels waving in the water and power bars connected to the machines used to grind wheat and flour.

By 1700, developing countries around the world were doing most of the water power for its energy needs. Various ways to use natural rainfall to produce energy is introduced through the years. The most common process uses water to activate a motor that is connected to an independent generator that produces energy that can be used for a variety of applications.

POWER EFFICIENT WATER HEATER

POWER EFFICIENT WATER HEATER. A heater energy efficient water can be a great way to reduce your bills. Better yet, you can feel secure knowing that you are also helping the environment. However, not all models are created equal. Note the obvious choices that you see every day at home or in commercial buildings, such as light, appliances, television, air conditioning, water heater and kitchen utensils. 

The water heater is considered a white line where you really need at home. Devices in recent years, such as water heaters that greatly improves and more in demand, especially models that are much more energy efficient.

WATER ENERGY - 11 Ways to Save Water and Energy While Doing the Laundry

WATER ENERGY - 11 Ways to Save Water and Energy While Doing the Laundry. When you have a family, you do a lot of laundry. Laundry uses a little water and energy, so I decided to share some tips to help make it a more efficient process.

1. No more laundry than necessary.

The clothes are not dirty the moment you put them on. Something I've used only for a short period of time during the day may not be dirty enough for the time you remove it to get into the pile of clothes.

WATER POWER - Is Solar Energy Water-Bound?

WATER POWER - Is Solar Energy Water-Bound?. Solar energy is a competitive industry and the race to see which company or research team can design the most efficient and cost effective technology. Israel Solaris Group and France's EDF Energy have joined forces to achieve a system that solves many problems that continue to affect most traditional applications of solar technology, including space and cost.

Science Daily reports that the collaboration has resulted in floating solar power plants. The joint project has been running for some time now and is nearing the end of its second phase, ie the construction of the prototype. Hopefully in September 2011 will launch the third phase, which is the application of technology accompanied by analysis and testing.

The tests were carried out during a period of nine months in Cadarache, in southeastern France, during which researchers better understand how the seasons and water levels affect productivity and performance. Come June 2012 and the team of collaborators hope to be able to let their products in bulk in the market.

NEW DISCOVERY - Renewable Energy Sources - Hydroelectric

NEW DISCOVERY - Renewable Energy Sources - Hydroelectric. One of our often overlooked sources of renewable energy is hydroelectric or the use of water to produce electricity. The basic concept of hydropower best described as the use of water flow to a turbine, and this spinning action produces electricity. It's a bit more complex than that, but you can simply put as the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy to make energy, mechanical to electrical energy. Here are some interesting facts about this renewable energy source.

* About 20% of world electricity is produced by hydro-An interesting fact I found is that only 20% of world electricity is produced by hydropower, which represents 88% of all renewable sources. Leading the way today's plants are coal gas, nuclear, and natural energy.

NEW DISCOVERY - Can You Create Your Own Micro Hydro Energy Power Plant?

NEW DISCOVERY - Can You Create Your Own Micro Hydro Energy Power Plant?. Well, maybe not want a total energy plant, but the basic concept is the same. Micro Hydro Energy is a renewable form of energy is of great interest to a growing number of people. Is an alternative to coal or oil, clean, and sustainable. It is, however, limited to certain areas. If you happen to have available a running river or stream near your home, you can use to create micro hydro power.

The same principles have been making electric dams are popular for many years to apply for micro hydro. With dams, electricity is produced by large amounts of water. (Think of Niagara Falls and the Hoover Dam). However, dams alter the natural flow of rivers and streams, can damage fragile ecosystems and create problems with them. Micro hydropower is different because it uses the natural flow of rivers and streams without interrupting, without the dam up. On the other hand, there is very little environmental impact of micro hydro systems.

NEW DISCOVERY: Hydro Energy for the Home

NEW DISCOVERY: Hydro Energy for the Home. In fact, there are very few people who could benefit from hydro energy in their homes. A small stream simply is not going to be big enough to power even a micro hydro system, but if you happen to be one of the lucky few who have a reasonable size and flow by way of any kind through the land then hydro is a great way to power and you should consider looking into it. It has a great advantage over any other type of renewable energy that can be considered for your home. It will create energy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The wind can stop blowing and the sun could stop shining, but the water will always keep flowing. It can be done with micro-hydro turbines that operate with a minimum of 2 feet from the waterfall, but still can provide enough energy for the whole year.

NEW DISCOVERY - Harnessing Power from Water Energy

NEW DISCOVERY -  Harnessing Power from Water Energy. Water is one of the most common chemical compounds on earth and the oceans provide 75% of the planet's surface. It is essential for life, and finding water on other planets is one of the main objectives of the scientific experiments conducted by NASA. The power of water through the use of waterwheels, was the first industrial process harnessed by human beings, which is used to power mills and cutting stone in ancient Egypt, the water energy is based out of the conversion of potential energy at the top of a well head to kinetic energy by the flow of water.

Water power is a renewable energy source, and is used mainly to generate electricity in the modern era through a process called hydroelectric generation, where the flow of water runs a turbine, which is used to power a generator . The United States is one of the world leaders in hydroelectric power generation, getting nearly 10% of its total power from hydroelectric plants, as the oil price increases and volatility in the Middle East sends shocks through market energy, consumer many more people are seeing the benefit of water power and hydroelectric plants, although the dam construction projects are expensive, and significant environmental impacts.

The power of water in the form of water wheels was first used in classical times to run the mills and stone cutting saws, which requires the placement of a coincidence of forms of water supply and resources being processed. Advances in orientation (especially the camera and sliding the transverse axis) allowed water wheels to be used for standing "mortar type" grain mills from the second century BC, and these films have been shown in set in the medieval years. The first American hydroelectric dam was opened in 1882, the hydroelectric dam was opened first in the U.S., a marked departure from coal plants. As the spread of electricity, the value of hydroelectric power increased, as electrical transmission allows the water energy is transmitted to places away from the head water of the dam.
