It defines key terms like temperature, conduction, convection, radiation, voltage, current, and power. Diagrams illustrate particle movement in solids, liquids, and gases and how temperature affects moisture holding capacity. Steps for blower door tests and examples of hands-on building science activities are also summarized.
Students from Unit 3/4 VCE Environmental Science visited Ecolinc in Bacchus Marsh to participate in various practical experiments and demonstrations about energy.
This technique works by generating ions or electrically
charged atoms using electrodes placed close to one
another on a computer chip. Generated ions are passed
from electrode to electrode, with collisions between ions
and neutral air atoms propelling the air forward in what is
called the corona wind effect – the process that cools.

The power generation by using piezoelectric effectImunique123
Generating electricity by walking or running on piezoelectric materials and that energy get stored in batteries and that can be used for street lights.It is non-conventional power generation system , eco-friendly and no pollution.
It can implement easily and low budget project also.As we know our natural resources are vanishing and we need another ways to produce electricity and this is most eco-friendly and cheap.Japan and China has worked on this project
Wind and Solar Power - Renewable Energy TechnologiesLiving Online
The past ten years has seen a significant increase in applying wind and solar power technologies from the domestic user to the corporate market. There has been a dramatic improvement in the efficiencies in these technologies and this has helped make the applications economical. Specific energy yields from wind turbines have increased by 60% and installation costs have dropped significantly (up to 50% in many cases). Global wind generating capacity has reached 100,000 MW capacity in March 2008 with almost 20,000 MW installed during 2007 alone.
Applications of photovoltaic (PV) systems are growing rapidly worldwide with worldwide installation of PV modules skyrocketing to 2,826 MW in 2007 (= 62% growth from 2006). Many countries are passing legislation to enforce greater use of PV systems and this is helping to drive up the production of these systems.
All of these technologies are interdisciplinary requiring a knowledge of topics as varied as aerodynamics, electricity and wind statistics for wind power and mechanical engineering, electronic and electrical engineering for solar power.
This workshop will outline the step by step process of designing, installing and commissioning photovoltaic and wind powered systems. It should be emphasised that this is not an advanced in-depth workshop but one covering the important issues enabling you to do simple designs and then to investigate the design and installation issues in more detail after the workshop either by further study or in conjunction with experts in the field.
In recent years the annual growth rate of the solar and wind energy industry has consistently exceeded 30% with 3 digit growth figures in many regional markets. So in these rather challenging economic times; this is a good industry in which to focus one’s career on.

WIRELESS DRIVEN LED SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHTING SYSTEM rahulvm995
Wireless power transfer technology is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load without man-made conductors. Traditional LED lighting system sensitive to rigid environment such as humidity, corrosive and flammable. Combining the advantages of wireless electrical power transfer and LED semiconductor lighting technology, the wireless-driven LED (WD-LED) lighting system has advantages of electrical shock protection, convenient, reliable, portable and environmentally sound.
amount of energy used is equal to amount of renewable energy created on the site
reduce carbon emissions & reduce dependence on fossil fuels
Buildings that produce a surplus of energy over the year are called “Energy Surplus Buildings”
During the last 20 years more than 200 reputable projects claiming net zero energy balance have been realized all over the world.
NZEB buildings consequently contribute less overall greenhouse gas to the atmosphere than similar non-ZNE buildings. They do at times consume non-renewable energy and produce greenhouse gases, but at other times reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas production elsewhere by the same amount. Traditional buildings consume 40% of the total fossil fuel energy in all over the world and are significant contributors of greenhouse gases.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Thermal energy is always moving. It flows from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. Heat transfer occurs via conduction, convection, and radiation.
Relative humidity measures the amount of water vapor in the air relative to the amount of water vapor the air is able to hold, which depends, in part, on the temperature of the air. Relative humidity levels that are too high can contribute to the growth and spread of unhealthy biological pollutants, such as mold and mildew.
