Единственным фактором, который порой останавливает людей от установки электрических тёплых полов в своей квартире, порой является необходимость тратить электрическую энергию на их работу. Однако этот фактор уже практически потерял свою актуальность, так как производители подобных систем существенно снизили данный показатель и создали специальные устройства, позволяющие регулировать работу обогревателей по времени. Эти устройства хорошо программируются на […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? Hydrogen is a gas—a burnable gas, just like natural gas or methane. In fact, hydrogen has the highest heat value (produces the most heat energy), gram for gram, of any fuel. Many rockets are fired into space burning tanks of liquid hydrogen. Hydrogen is also the […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? Methane has been mentioned in several other sections of this book—bio waste, MSW, bio crops, etc. Methane is the biggest single component of the mixes of gas we call natural gas and synthetic gas (syngas). Like natural gas and hydrogen, methane is an efficient, easy – […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? Coal is dirty. Coal is the “problem” fuel. Both mining and burning coal pollute land, water, and air. Coal is a major contributor to global warming and climate change. But we have plenty of coal, and coal has plenty of energy in it. And we need […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? America has been called a “throwaway” society. Research has shown that we “throw away” most of our energy. Over 50 percent of all the energy we consume is wasted—thrown away—mostly as waste heat up a smokestack or out a tailpipe instead of performing useful work. But […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? Winds whisper, blow, traipse, swirl, and howl across the surface of our planet. But sometimes there is no wind, the air becalmed for days, every flag hanging limp against its flagpole, every windmill sitting idle waiting patiently for a breath of breeze to nudge it back […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? Batteries are devices that store energy. They don’t create energy. They just hold it for future use. We use batteries to power electrical equipment when it is impossible or inconvenient to plug into the grid. The problem is that electricity from a battery is much more […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? Every nuclear power plant is individually custom designed. Each site for a massive nuclear plant is carefully studied and every possible impact analyzed. Each nuclear power plant requires hundreds of acres of land and many more dedicated acres for the high voltage lines that fan out […]
