Solar Energy

Solar energy is the energy derived from the sun through the form of solar
radiation.
Solar
powered
electrical
generation
relies
on photovoltaics and heat engines. A partial list of other solar applications
includes
space
heating
and
cooling
through solar
architecture, daylighting, solar hot water, solar cooking, and high
temperature process heat for industrial purposes.
So far only been used to heat water and generate electricity in space
vehicles andexperimental plants. The
energy
thus obtained
is quite
expensive. However, wheneverwe talk about energy crisis is cited as an
alternative to the sun. At the household leveland is more accessible, houses
have been built "solar" in which solar energy is collectedin special panels and
is used especially in the heat.
Seawater
Today is not only used in saline (plants which produce sales), but has
also alreadyentered in
the
field of electricity
production. For
this, usually takes the gap between tides, which is a formidable force to
spin turbines to generate
electricity so. Year after
year,with
improved technology has been perfected the assembly of the turbines and
generators, which has been increasing proportionately energy efficiency.
Geothermal energy
It is the natural heat from deep within the planet. This is due to the presence
of magma,which
vaporizes
the water in
the
surrounding
area. Using this as geothermal steam to generate electricity is a problem of
much greater complexity, because it takes a lot more heat. Its disadvantage
is cost, since subsurface drilling are high price, however, an important
advantage is to be less polluting. Currently, volcanologists are devoted to the
study of the use of heat energy from the volcanoes.nuclear power

Nuclear

Power

Also
called atomic
energy. Its advantage
is the
abundance
of nuclear fuel compared tofossil fuels, and that is a concentrated energy
source (a kilo of radioactive uraniumperforms just like the burning of
2,800 tons. Of coal). In
the
production
of nuclear energyby
fission using uranium, and the fusion, deuterium and tritium (isotopes of
hydrogen).The fusion fuel reserves are much more abundant. For example,
deuterium can be extracted from seawater.

the human body is super lightweight Voyager shuttle through most of its
structure
is of carbon also ceramiccompounds are isolated
from
the heat. Plastic and glass fibers are part of the bodyworkof many cars,
transformers constructed with an iron magnetic alloy allows a considerable
saving
of energy.
When it was discovered that certain materials lose all electrical
resistance when subjected to high temperature superconductors were
invented,
capable
of
transmittingelectricity
without any
resistance. When their
use
is widespread,
it will revolutionize the
entire electronics.
