Environment
Environmental Engineering is the application of engineering principles to improve and maintain the environment for the protection of human health and at-risk ecosystems.
Tidal energy is a type of renewable energy powered by the movement of ocean tides. Tidal power is a type of hydroelectric energy, and is harnessed by tidal streams generators, barrages, and tidal lagoons.
Engineers are essential in the fight against pollution, not only by developing cleaner technologies but by transforming the way industries operate.
Have you ever wondered what the potato plant is, and how to grow it? Probably not.. but here it is anyways.
Hydroelectric plants work by falling water turning turbines, which produced mechanical energy, and the generator then convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy, which can then be stored and supplied to the public. Hydroelectric energy is used all around the world, and is the most used form of renewable energy. While hydroelectricity has its pros, like being a clean source of energy, there are also negative sides to look at.
A wind turbine is a piece of machinery, typically between 60 and 120 meters tall. Wind turbines have 3 large metal blades that spin and are connected to a drive shaft which turns the generator, thus creating electricity. Wind turbines can be connected to a power grid and can supply electricity to wherever it is needed. Wind energy is fully renewable, like solar, which means it is replenished at a higher rate than it is used.
Arkansas. A mid-sized, middle-class state. Not a very well-known state to most, but that might soon change. That's because lithium, a metal key in making reusable batteries for EVs, phones, laptops, and many other items was discovered in huge amounts in the state.
Mature American Chestnut trees used to be everywhere. Now, if you go looking, you might find a mature chestnut tree, but almost all of those trees are either imported or are a hybrid. How could one of the most common trees of America be wiped out so utterly and completely?
Bathrooms don't have any safety at all, The poor cleaning of bathrooms cause bactiera, and other sort of stuff to build up and cause harmful diseases. Its a problem for childrien as they can get sick easily from this
Urbanization is when a population mostly shifts to an urban area. In this article you will learn about the problems that urbanization really has.
We have all heard about renewable energy, like solar and wind, but are any of the different energy sources functional enough to use in our society? Or are they just new ways to create electricity that will never fully be eliminating pollution and extra greenhouse gasses?
The company Liebherr says that they have created the first ever hydrogen-powered wheel loader, which they plan to be a part of their pilot project in the Kanzelstein quarry in Gratkorn, Austria. The pilot project shows that even in areas where it is hard to reduce emissions it is still possible. Using solar, water, and wind energy can progress Austria's goal of climate neutrality.
Ultraviolet (UV) light is a powerful method for making drinking water safe by inactivating harmful microorganisms. This technology uses UV radiation to disrupt the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, preventing their reproduction.
