Enzymes
Enzymes lower the activation energy needed for chemical reactions to occur. They make reactions easier and faster by reducing the amount of energy required to start the reaction. Enzymes are specialized proteins that catalyze specific reactions in the body by binding to reactants and reducing the activation energy hill. This allows reactions to proceed more readily and quickly with less input of energy.
My expriement 2
The document describes an experiment to absorb power from thunder using a chemical reaction. Magnesium is placed in water, which causes it to spark and produce positively charged sand particles. These particles are used to construct a tower that absorbs the negative charge from thunder. The absorbed electricity is then used to generate hydroelectric power for areas without electricity.
Energy
Heat is transferred through particles vibrating (conduction), air rising when hot (convection), and radiation being absorbed and reflected. Insulation in walls traps air which is an insulator, while different methods like passive solar heating and fossil fuels generate heat energy through various processes. When a solid melts it changes state at a constant temperature.

Solar energy
Solar energy originates from the thermonuclear fusion reactions of the sun. It represents the entire electromagnetic spectrum that reaches Earth. Solar energy has the advantage of being pollution-free and sustainable, as the sun provides incredible amounts of energy to Earth each day equivalent to all fossil fuels. However, solar energy is diffuse and intermittent, requiring technologies to concentrate and store it. Various technologies exist to harness solar energy for heating water and living spaces or generating electricity through solar thermal or photovoltaic means, but they remain more expensive than fossil fuel alternatives.

Solar energy originates from the thermonuclear fusion reactions of the sun. It represents the entire electromagnetic spectrum that reaches Earth. Solar energy has the advantage of producing no pollutants, as 30 days of sunshine provides more energy than all fossil fuels on Earth. However, solar energy is diffuse and intermittent, requiring concentration and storage to be useful. Various technologies have been developed to collect, convert, and store solar energy for heating water and buildings, or generating electricity through solar thermal power towers, parabolic dishes, and photovoltaic cells.
Solar energy
Solar energy originates from the thermonuclear fusion reactions occurring in the sun. It represents the entire electromagnetic radiation that reaches Earth. The advantages of solar energy are that it produces no polluting byproducts, and the energy reaching Earth in 30 days equals all fossil fuels on the planet. Challenges include its diffuse nature and inconsistent availability. Solar energy can be used to heat water and living spaces through passive and active collection and storage systems. It can also be converted to electricity through solar thermal power towers, dishes, troughs, and photovoltaic cells, though the latter have lower efficiency and higher costs than traditional power sources.

Global warming reading tree
Global warming is defined as a rise in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. It is primarily caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants that are released from transportation, industrial processes like manufacturing, and power plants that burn fossil fuels. The results of global warming include animal extinction, sea level rise, coastal erosion, flooding, and landslides. To help stop global warming, individuals can reduce their energy usage, reuse and recycle products, and encourage others to conserve resources through education and advocacy.
Charlene Ponce
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere, which increases temperatures and causes some animals to die due to not being able to adapt to the changes. The document provides ways to fight global warming such as reducing waste through recycling and reusing materials, using less energy for heating/cooling, driving less and more efficiently, turning electronics off when not in use, planting trees, buying energy-efficient products, and encouraging conservation in others. It also includes images and a puzzle related to global warming.
Modified solar collector annexed with residential solar cooker
This document summarizes a study on modifying a residential solar cooker by adding vacuum tubes filled with phase change materials (PCM) to enable nighttime cooking. The system uses a parabolic collector to concentrate sunlight into vacuum tubes containing PCM and copper coils. Heat is transferred to a cooker jacket through insulated pipes. A pump circulates water to cook food at temperatures up to 150°C. PCM stores excess heat for nighttime cooking. Calculations determine the required PCM mass is 57kg, which can be filled in two 124mm diameter vacuum tubes holding 40kg total, with the remaining 17kg stored in an insulated box. This modified solar cooker aims to reduce reliance on fuels like LPG for cooking.
Mechanism of microwave oven
Microwave ovens heat food using electromagnetic radiation to cause polar molecules in the food, such as water, to rotate and produce thermal energy. The key components of a microwave oven are a magnetron that generates microwaves, a cavity that distributes the waves, and a control panel. Microwaves excite the polar molecules in food, which causes them to vibrate and produce heat through dielectric heating, quickly cooking the food from the inside out.
Unit 3 pp #1 7th grade
The document defines energy as the ability to do work, where work is done when a force causes an object to move. It describes different forms of energy including kinetic energy from motion, potential energy from position or height, mechanical energy from a combination of kinetic and potential, thermal energy from particle motion, chemical energy from bonds, electrical from moving electrons, sound from vibrations, light as electromagnetic waves, and nuclear from atomic nuclei reactions. Energy and work are measured in joules and energy can be transferred when work is done to cause motion.
solar-ponds
The document describes solar ponds, which are large shallow bodies of water arranged to have reversed temperature gradients compared to normal ponds. Solar ponds consist of three layers - an upper convective zone, a non-convecting zone, and a lower convective zone. The salinity and temperature increase with depth in the non-convecting zone, inhibiting convection and providing insulation. Heat is stored in the lower convecting zone at temperatures 40-50°C above ambient. Solar ponds can be used for electric power generation, desalination, and space or water heating.
Sustainable house info
The document discusses the electricity, water, and window sources for a sustainable house. Solar panels and a wind turbine will generate electricity, while two water tanks will collect and store rainwater. Double glazed windows and large windows to let in light will be used, and solar panels will heat water for the house.
Saving energy (italian team)
This document discusses global warming and provides tips for reducing energy usage to help stop it. It explains that electricity and heating are usually produced by burning fossil fuels which release greenhouse gases and warm the Earth. Some effects of global warming mentioned include melting Arctic ice, shrinking polar bear habitats, and droughts. The document then lists several actions individuals can take to save energy in their homes, such as turning off lights when not in use, using energy efficient bulbs, lowering thermostats, closing doors and windows when heating is on, wearing warmer clothes, insulating homes, only boiling needed water, and using lids on pans. It emphasizes everyone can play a role and that saving energy is the duty of all citizens.
Heat pump diagram
The heat pump animation shows how a heat pump works to heat water for a geyser. Outdoor air passes through an air to gas heat exchanger, raising the temperature of refrigerant gas. A compressor then increases the gas temperature to 55 degrees Celsius. This heat is transferred to water circulated from a geyser via a gas to water heat exchanger. As heat transfers, the refrigerant cools and an expansion valve further lowers the pressure and temperature before it passes back through the air to gas heat exchanger.
