Out of curiosity, in this article it says that a generator can produce on average 200 megawatts, just enough to power a small city. Does anyone know if they meant for a year or for a day?
I said 220 megawatts for a day, not 220 megawatts a day. If your car goes 60 miles per hour for an hour, does it go 60 miles a day? Megawatts, like speed is a rate. For electricity, energy is megawatt-hours. A power plant that puts out 220 megawatts puts out 220 megawatt-hours every hour or 5280 megawatt-hours every day.SpicyRamen said:Russ_watters, can you explain your previous comment about "So if it can put out 220 megawatts for a day, it can put out 220 megawatts for a year."
If the generator can produce 220 megawatts a day, that's a significant difference supposed to if it can produce 220 megawatts in the course of 365 days. I can grasp bits and pieces of what you're trying to say, but is still a little confused.
An Atmosphere Vortex Engine (AVE) is a type of renewable energy technology that harnesses the power of atmospheric vortices, or swirls of air, to generate electricity. It works by creating a controlled vortex using a series of vertical tubes, which are then used to drive a turbine and produce energy.
The AVE works by creating a vortex using a series of vertical tubes. As the air flows through the tubes, it creates a low-pressure area at the center of the vortex. This low-pressure area is then used to drive a turbine and generate electricity. The vortex is maintained by wind and can continue to produce energy as long as the wind is present.
One major advantage of using AVEs is that they can be built in a variety of locations, including offshore, on land, and even on buildings. They also have a smaller environmental footprint compared to traditional wind turbines, as they do not require large blades or towers. Additionally, AVEs can operate at lower wind speeds and are less affected by changes in wind direction, making them more reliable sources of energy.
One potential drawback of AVEs is that they are a relatively new technology and are still in the early stages of development. This means that their efficiency and reliability have not yet been fully tested and optimized. Additionally, AVEs may not be suitable for all locations, as wind patterns and speeds can vary significantly depending on the geography and topography of the area.
Yes, AVEs are considered to be a more environmentally friendly source of energy compared to traditional fossil fuels. They do not produce greenhouse gas emissions or air pollution, and their impact on local wildlife is minimal. However, it is important to note that the production and installation of AVEs may still have some environmental impacts, such as the use of resources and materials for construction.
