fuel which would not last very long. In fact, natural resources can produce multi-folds of electricity without being eradicated. However, this essay is comparing solar panel to wind turbine. Their major differences are location, method and efficiency. Initially, the difference of both solar panel and wind turbine is method of generating electricity. Since the solar panel has defined as an object that absorbed the sunlight and turns it into electricity. The method to generate electricity by solar

wind turbine project reduces electricity costs, while also taking into account environmental issues. This is because the wind is a renewable green energy. The wind turbine project is through the installation of wind turbine to provide electrical energy and save electricity costs. Winter is not only the most productive season for tourists, but also the season with the largest amount of wind in a year. Therefore, even if there is a substantial increase in power demand in winter, wind turbine can provide

Science Report Aim: To investigate whether the amount of blades on a pinwheel affects the amount of times the pinwheel will spin Hypothesis: More blades on a pinwheel will make it spin more than a pinwheel with fewer blades. Equipment: * 5 pins * 5 pencils * Scissors * 5 sheets of paper * Ruler * Pen * Utility knife * Electric fan Variables Independent Variables: The amount of blades on the pinwheel Dependant Variables: The amount of times the pinwheel spins Controlled

a wind turbine like machine that can fly, and could absorb 2 to 3 times the wind in higher elevations. The higher the elevation, the stronger the wind and the more wind it can produce in the air for the generator. My assumption for the reason of this invention is possibly saving energy by using renewable sources such as wind, instead of burning fossil fuels for energy that can’t be renewed. The invention hasn’t been fully developed because of the cost, but they do have a flying turbine called

electricity using alternative production methods; specifically, using wind and wave-powered turbines. WWA operates one of the first commercial wave-power farms installed in the United States off the coast of Oregon near the mouth of Umpqua River. The wave-powered farm provides power to the city of Reedsport using turbines similar to those developed by leading alternative-energy companies. WWA also operates two wind turbine farms in Sherman and Gilliam Counties that provide power to residential homes and corporate

Tanay Rizal on one side and Laguna on the other side. One will also get a very good view of Laguna de Bay. There are infographic boards there about Pililia and the wind farm. One interesting fact on why Pililia was chosen as the site for these wind turbines –these hills have a natural wind corridor with a monthly average of 36kmh windspeed passing through the hill and heightens during Amihan (north-east winds) season from October to March. We took plenty of photos with the wind mills for remembrance

The purpose of our study was to observe whether gust wind speed affects the activity of white-tailed deer population. The hypothesis was that as gust wind speed increases, deer activity decreases because the environment is less suitable for the deer, causing them to migrate. On a graph, this would look like a negative correlation. When we visited the EHMNNWR this year, we observed a noticeable difference from the previous years; there were less deer fecal pellet groups. The lowest mean pellet count
