Application of non conventional energy

AI Thread Summary
Non-conventional energy sources, including tidal, wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass, offer innovative applications for sustainable energy generation. Tidal energy can be harnessed through turbines in tidal barrages and lagoons, while wind energy is captured via land-based and offshore wind turbines. Solar energy applications range from electricity generation with solar panels to heating water and cooking with solar cookers. Geothermal energy provides heating and electricity by tapping into the Earth's heat, and biomass energy utilizes organic materials for heat and power. Investing in these alternative energy sources is crucial for reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting sustainability.

Hey friends,
i wud like to know abou various ways of application of non conv. energy (tidle,wind,solar etc.) sources.i am looking for some innovative idea & also easy for implementation.
any suggestions are welcome.

What do you consider "conventional" energy sources?
 


Hi there,

There are many ways in which non conventional energy sources can be applied and utilized. Some innovative ideas for their application include:

1. Tidal energy can be used to power turbines and generate electricity. This can be done through the use of tidal barrages, tidal lagoons, or tidal stream generators. These methods harness the energy of the ocean tides and convert it into usable electricity.

2. Wind energy can be utilized through the use of wind turbines. These turbines can be installed on land, offshore, or even on rooftops to capture the energy of the wind and convert it into electricity. Wind farms are a popular way of generating large amounts of renewable energy.

3. Solar energy can be used in various ways, such as through the use of solar panels to generate electricity, solar water heaters for heating water, and solar cookers for cooking food. Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy that can be easily implemented in homes and businesses.

4. Geothermal energy can be used to heat buildings, generate electricity, and provide hot water. This is done by tapping into the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface through geothermal power plants or geothermal heat pumps.

5. Biomass energy can be used to produce heat or electricity by burning organic materials such as wood, agricultural waste, or even animal manure. This is a sustainable way of generating energy and can also help in waste management.

In addition to these ideas, there are many other ways in which non conventional energy sources can be applied, such as through the use of hydroelectric power, wave energy, and hydrogen fuel cells. It is important to explore and invest in these alternative energy sources to reduce our reliance on traditional fossil fuels and move towards a more sustainable future. I hope this helps!
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
