Can you imagine a world without the Diesel Engine? The trains, locomotives, the marine generators, power generators, million of trucks and other vehicles on the road – the entire global economy would come to a screeching halt, if it weren’t for this work horse engine. Read the Diesel Story here.
In the very early years hydropower was used for operating machines. The first hydroelectric power plant in the U.S. was developed in 1882 on the Fox River. Thereafter a number of initiatives taken by the government helped development of number of hydroelectric power plants.
This article introduces you to the various terms and definitions we use in the field of vibration.This is to ensure that you understand the terms at ease when you read through a highly technical article on vibration. I will make sure that new terminologies are added to the article whenever possible.
This article briefly describes the various causes of vibration in machines that we come across in life. This article may help you learn more about identifying the causes and help you to tackle them.
Acoustic waves need to be generated for sonochemistry applications. Although there is a great variety of systems, all have the same basic configuration. This article describes the main parts of the acoustic waves (sound) generating system.
This article deals with the importance of “resonance,” a very critical term in the field of vibration engineering. Every critical rotating or moving part is specifically analyzed to ensure that “resonance” does not occur during its operation.
Can solar energy be fully utilized? Not at this point in time. But a new hydrogen cell being developed at MIT may change this. We may be able to see the day when we fully harness the solar energy stored in our sun
Depletion of ozone layer can be dangerous to human life. To prevent the depletion of ozone layer a protocol was signed by various nations on September 16, 1987. It is famously known as Montreal Protocol. This day has been marked as the International Ozone Day to commemorate the historic event.
It is time we take an objective look at alternative solutions. Is nuclear energy the way of the future? Learn about some of the environmental dangers of this type of energy source.
On this day of September 16, marked as the Ozone Layer Day, let use try to know some of the basics of ozone layer like what it is, its importance, how it gets depleted, effects of its depletion, how to prevent depletion of ozone layer, Montreal Protocol, our role in preventing ozone layer etc.
