It's much more efficient to release energy by smashing atoms apart than by "burning them" (releasing energy through the chemical reaction we call combustion). That's why nuclear plants need tiny amounts of fuel (compared to fossil fuel plants). Nuclear plants can help to reduce a country'...
How Energy Efficient Is Your Home? WINTER WARMTH SPECIAL IN ASSOCIATION WITH BRITISH GASDoes your home have cavity wall insulation?Coventry Evening Telegraph (England)
Turbocharged engines generate more power than naturally-aspirated engines of the same size. And the combustion process becomes more efficient. Furthermore, this helps reduce emissions and enhance the driving experience. A turbocharger is highly engineered with high-value components. The next step is ...

This brings up a quick question. The thermal section of the plant is not as efficient as using both the gas turbine and the thermal section together. In other words, burning the natural gas in the gas turbine first extracts more energy from it. Why do these gas turbines not always run,...
It would also help them design more efficient surveillance plans across territorial waters. Decentralized, reliable information-management systems requiring little human intervention could ease adoption. One example: analytics-software tools can flag when a boat slows down in a no-take zone, alerting ...
Power plants can make so much energy because they burn huge amounts of fuel—and every single bit of that fuel is packed full of power.Unfortunately, most power plants are not very efficient: in a typical old plant running on coal, only about a third of the energy locked inside the ...
"With the increase in the number of battery-powered, portable devices," the patent reads,"there is an increasing need to provide a long-lasting, adaptable, efficient electrical source." Komarechka expects that his device will be used for powering portable computers, cell phones, CD players, GP...
Inflation is a great motivator for clients to begin excelling at the basics. The first step for clients is to determine exactly how their monthly cash flow is utilized. Few people take the time totrack their expenses. They presume they are doing well if money is left o...
For example, single-crystal silicon isn't the only material used in PV panels. Polycrystalline silicon is used in an attempt to cut manufacturing costs, although the resulting cells aren't as efficient as single crystal silicon. Second-generation solar panel technology consists of what's kno...
