Environmental Assessment of Wind Turbines: Good or Bad?

June 30, 2014Wind turbines provide a renewable source of energy that is generally considered as environmentally friendly, as well as an excellent alternative to the common fossil fuel power plant. Once installed and running, wind turbines generate power with essentially zero carbon emissions. Despite the overwhelming support of wind turbines as an alternative source of renewable energy, some skeptics still question the true impact of the wind turbine; some may argue that the relatively low power output from a wind turbine, combined with the carbon emissions caused by production, transportation, installation and maintenance, may in fact produce a negative environmental impact.

Captain Jules' Extraordinary Telescope Ring

November 16, 2012This is a cool addition to the steampunk style and the people who like this style. It is great that there is no official character associated with it, so you& 39;re free to apply it into a costume of your choice. However, it would fit better into sailor or pilot thematic. The manufacturers call this ring Captain Jules& 39; Extraordinary Telescope Ring and let the client decide who is/was Captain Jules and what his adventures are, and also why the client currently wears his extraordinary telescope ring.

What Speed of Light Travel in Star Wars Would REALLY Be Like

February 05, 2013In the Star Wars movies, when a spaceship such as the famous Millennium Falcon makes the jump to lightspeed travel through outer space, we see the stars turn into elongated shafts of bright lights before our eyes as the ship approaches the speed of light. But although the real science behind Star Wars’ sci-fi galaxy and technology is sound and well-researched, recently it was determined by a quartet of fourth-year physics students that no such view of “lightspeed travel” would exist.
