Science Class Question: I had to choose four non-renewable energy resources used today, and pick one that wasnt a fossil fuel. I choose oil/petroleum, natural gad, coal and uranium
uranium is not fossil fuel and is used in nuclear power plants to produce electricity. Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural resources such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms while silvery-white metallic chemical element.
Okay extra questions…
Can you really build one on your own? Or do I need a technician or someone qualified to help me install the panel?
I would love to make one myself coz I love diy stuff but so far the instructions I found online are pretty confusing…
Oh, and please don’t tell me to go to inane ‘how to’ sites like ehow for instance. Sites with detailed step by step instructions would help greatly!
Thanks!
Yes you can build one yourself mate! The simple kind mind you. I build a really simple panel, which was enough to power up a few household items! Now since you’re looking for "detailed step-by-step instructions, then I’d suggest you go get your hands on one of those video DIY guides. Don’t go for text instructions because you’re a total noob mate. It’d hard for you to understand what’s what lol
Good luck!
At school, we did an experiment where we calculated the temperature of different geothermal properties, to see if the school would have a good source of solar energy.
In the discussion questions, it says:
Set up a proposal to use solar energy energy for out school (3 external uses).
I have noo idea what I’m doing. If anyone could help that’d be great!
Yeah!! Solar in Schools is great! Here are some thoughts. There are a LOT of community grants for Green Schools. Many schools are putting solar electric (PV) arrays on their school in order to reduce their electrical bill and inspire students and the community. This can be a pretty costly proposition - $50,000 to $500,000 - so that may be difficult to make an argument for. If you want to demonstrate solar power in conjunction with reducing waste - check out a solar trash compactor from Big Belly Solar ($3000-$4000 each).
Technical High Schools are setting up labs for solar hot water and solar electric PV - this is a great way to train the future work force AND expose students to the technologies.
Finally, encourage your teachers to explore lesson plans to bring solar and wind technologies into the classroom:
