Let us begin with a series of Questions !! What is a Hyperloop? Why we need a Hyperloop? What are its Advantages? Well the course of this article would move from "What a hyperloop is?" to knowing the principles by which it works and then moving to "Its Advantages" and finally into its achievements. The concept of hyperloop is pretty new. Well a t…
Read moreSoon after tapping power from nuclear fission , Scientist turned their interest towards its mightier twin, Nuclear fusion . The ambitious minds of the 20th Century wanted to tap to the power of the mighty sun. But to reach such technology to contain such powerful energy in a controlled way and reach such high temperatures to make fusion possible was a humongous task.…
Read moreOne of the best ways to capture Solar Energy is through solar cells.The commercial solar cells of the present times are nothing but photo voltaic cell in an integrated fashion. These are usually semiconductor diodes, generally made out of silicon. As said previously, the process of making the plates highly alter the efficiency of solar panels but also adds a bulk t…
Read moreIsn't our viewpoint on availability of energy quite ambiguous? Basically, energy we need is not scarce. It is literally everywhere and in everything. As in the previous post on nuclear energy we discussed that mass is after all just another form of energy. Then what we really mean when we say Energy is the solution for all sufferings of our world? If there is ene…
Read moreCarbon, basic constituent of all living things is also one of the most commercially used element. Such high commercial use, especially as a source of Energy (Coal, Petroleum), gives out large quantities of waste product. Among these Carbon Dioxide is one of the most abundant one, released as a consequence of using fossil fuels for power generation. This has led to a …
Read moreIn the modern age, solar energy has been able to grasp the top spot among renewable sources of energy as alternative to conventional sources. Its contribution to the world's total electric supply has grown significantly.
Read moreMAY THE FUSION BE WITH US! Energy is the fundamental currency for our universe. It lights our cities, grows our food and runs our machines. Humans, for thousands of years were able to get this from different means. By burning fossil fuels, splitting atoms by Nuclear fission and photovoltaic cells exposed to sunlight. But then again everything has a dark side to it…
Read moreAs of April 2020 a total of 440 Nuclear power plants are commercially operational around the world. Additionally, there are 55 reactors under construction and 109 reactors planned, with a combined capacity of 63 GW and 118 GW, respectively. All these use Nuclear fission as their primary process for power generation in a Nuclear Reactor. Let's have a look what goe…
Read moreThe need for Energy, mainly sustainable Energy led scientist to look for alternatives of fossil Fuels. The conventional way of generating electricity is to run steam through a turbine to make it rotate. So a logical line of thought would be if "Gases can Rotate a turbine so should flowing water(fluid)". And with this logic the quest for Hydro Energy began!…
