Alternative sources of energy.

Alternate Energy Sources: Solar, Wind, Hydro, Biomass, etc. There are many, but it depends a bit on what you mean by "alternate." Mostly, people mean sources other than fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas), and maybe nuclear fission as well. Solar: Solar power or sun's energy can be used to make both electricity and fuel with solar panels. These panels take energy from sunlight and turn it into either electricity or they drive a chemical reaction to make a fuel (hydrogen gas for instance). More energy from the sun hits the earth's surface in one hour than ALL the energy used by people on the entire earth in one year!

Hydroelectric: By building a dam on a river, and only letting the water pass through a small passage, you can use the force of the moving water to spin a turbine to make electricity. Geothermal: If you drill down deep enough into the surface of the earth, you will reach very hot rocks. You can inject cold water into this deep hole, and the rocks heat the water, turning it to steam. You can then use this steam to turn a turbine to make electricity.

Wind: Giant windmills spin to make electricity from the force of wind moving through the blades of the windmill.

Biomass: Many plants can be turned into chemical fuels that can be burned. Ethanol is the most common, and usually corn or sugar cane is grown to make ethanol. You can burn ethanol in many cars just like gasoline.

Waves and Tides: The movement of water due to crashing waves or rising and falling tides can be used to spin a submerged propeller or a turbine to make electricity

Fusion: A costly and somewhat dangerous resource is being developed which is known as fusion. This is the same energy which generates the sun's heat and energy. It fuses hydrogen atoms into helium atoms but is not yet cost effective and they have yet to make a self sustaining reaction.

How can we save the world from energy crisis The energy crisis has made scientists think about the production of artificial oil. Russian and Japanese chemists designed special systems that produce fuel from carbonates and water. American scientists found a water plant that produces hydrocarbons. They implanted its genes to yeast and thus received a biological reactor that makes biogenic oil. According to the law of the conservation of mass, in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed. This fact has been bothering mankind recently because it means that the planet is running out of its fuel reserves, including oil. The prognoses from various geological institutes sound very pessimistic. Black gold will disappear on Earth either by the middle or by the end of the current century. When it happens, the global energy and transportation system will collapse, in case petroleum products are still used as the primary type of fuel, of course. Some experts say, though, that the authors of such reports are being overdramatic. Indeed, all of such calculations are based on the current production of oil. In other words, they are based on the data from the develop oil fields. However, there are many oil fields on the planet, the development of which has not even been launched yet. In addition, there are oil fields that have not been discovered. The exhaustion of traditional oil deposits stimulates the search for new ones, scientists say. Old oil wells will be preserved by that time, and their oil reserves will be renewed. Indeed, oil can be recovered. As a matter of fact, the oil-generation process on the planet still continues. There are two ways for the process to occur: the biogenic and the non-organic. The latter has not been studied thoroughly yet; some scientists doubts that it can be possible at all. It is generally believed that the process takes place when hydrogen, produced as a result of the radioactive decay in the core of the Earth, comes into reaction with carbon. Various hydrocarbons are produced during the process, and they subsequently turn into crude.

Mangal Pandey Most of the British historians like Charles Ball, G.W.Forrest, T.R.Holmes, M.Inns, J.W.Kaye, G.F.Macmunn, G.B.Malleson, C.T.Metcalfe, Earl Roberts and others have mischievously used the white mans colonial term Mutiny to describe the first war of Indian independence. Sir John Lawrence was of the opinion that the Mutiny had its origin in the Army and its cause was the greased cartridges and nothing else. Sir John Seeley said that The Mutiny was a wholly unpatriotic and selfish sepoy mutiny with no native leadership and no popular support. Veer Savarkar (1883-1966), the incomparable patriot and a great son of Bharat Mata was the first historian who called the War of 1857 as the The First War of Indian Independence.

Veer Savarkar (1883-1966) When we remember the revolutionaries and martyrs of 1857, we should not fail to recall the fact that it was Veer Savarkar (1883-1966) who immortalized the names of these great freedom fighters in his brilliant and pioneering book War of Indian Independence published in the first decade of the 20th century. This book was proscribed by the British Government in India. In Great Britain, from 1906 to 1908, Veer Savarkar organized all the Indian students to come forward to launch an armed struggle to throw the British out of India. Keeping this larger, noble goal in view, he founded the Free India Society. Veer Savarkar thus organised the Indian students studying in England at that time for starting a movement for achieving the goal of indian independence through armed revolution. Veer Savarkar gave this bracing and rousing message to his fallen countrymen then in the bonded labour of British Imperial yoke.
