<\/a><\/p>\n\u00a0The water wheel is at the side of Quendale mill.<\/p>\n
The force of the river pouring through a dam can make lots and lots of clean electricity. Large dams can harm the places where thousands of plants and animals.<\/p>\n
Some tidal power stations trap incoming water inside dams. When the tide goes out the water released.<\/p>\n
The Isle of Islay is a great place to have a wave machine. The wave machine is a big long snake that is red. It generates 250 KW enough for 500 houses.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The water that is coming from the river and the lakes turn a\u00a0turbine which makes electricity.<\/p>\n
\u00a0When I made a water wheel, it turn once but I found out that water wheels turn even faster.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Wind is one of the most powerful forms of energy on the Earth. You can find wind power almost every were. The best thing about wind power is that it is free.\u00a0 Wind Turbines anywhere there is wind.\u00a0 Turbines are powered by wind power. Turbines can be u<\/em><\/strong>sed the land is unfarmable or they can be put in farm or they can be put into the sea. It is making the world a better place by saving lots of money. In the olden days windmills were used to grind grain, wheat and barley or to pump water for drinking. Now we use them as turbines to generate electricity. Wind turbines can have speeds up to 10 to 90 km\/h. The first modern wind turbine was built in Vermont in the early 1940s. Wind Power is renewable energy. The wind turbines are really big. \u00a0Wind turbines can be as tall a 20 story flat . It has big giant proprllers that our stuck on an stick. The blades of a wind turbine spin quite fast about\u00a0 10 to 20 milles an minute. The steel bit of the wind turbine\u00a0 hold the big 3 blades.\u00a0 In the wind turbine there is a generator\u00a0 at the top of wind turbine and then the is a hub. Large wind farms are built offshore. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Inside a turbine <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n There is <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Blades that capture wind,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Rotor hub controls the angle of the blades,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Shaft transfers spinning\u00a0 energy of the rotor to the generator<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Generator uses spinning energy of shaft to generate electricity,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Brake stops the shift if there is an emergency,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Gearbox changes the speed of shaft between rotor hub to generator,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Nacelle is the main body of the turbine,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Tower lifts the blades up into the sky.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n We made windmills in technology that turned: Mia\u2019s did.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0 Solar panels<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n What do solar panels do? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n They heat your water just using the sun.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n If you have a caravan and you have a Solar Panel on top it recharges your batteries. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Some people put solar panels in their fields to generate electricity .<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Unlike batteries solar power never runs out.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n You can find little solar panels on calculators and other thing you might find in your house or your school. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n There are 2 sorts of solar panels; radiation and photovoltaic. Radiation is where there is a pipe with water in\u00a0that goes from the solar panel to the floor. Photovoltaic is a solar power cell. \u00a0Solar power is a kind of energy called renewable. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In Australia and Africa they have 11 hours of sunlight so they have solar panels on top of their house roof\u00a0 but in Britain and Sweden there 5 hours of sunlight which means\u00a0 we have less than Australia and Africa. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Non renewable energy sources will run out soon and people are wanting them to buy\u00a0 solar panels. A plant where electrity is generated it goes to the power staion witch send out electricity to all the houses. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The sun give heat energy equilelvent 90 billon explosions. Solar energy is very good for the world. Solar Panels are not that expensive to buy. Solar power uses light to generate electricity<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Fossil Fuels are mostly oil, gas and coal which we all use and will soon run out and that why people are wanting you to change and try saving the oil, gas and coal. We need to use renewable energy to save the coal, oil and gas. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Water Power\u00a0 We went to Quendale we saw a big wheel that the water pushed around in circles and created energy so the staff could grained the wheat easier. They had a big pond at the top of the hill … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\nWind Power<\/h1>\n
