Nuclear Energy is a type of energy that originates from the splitting of uranium atoms. This process is called fission. It generates heat to produce steam to make the turbine turn and generate electricity. It was discovered in the 1930s by an Italian Physicist Enrico Fermi. In 1942, the first nuclear chain reaction was achieved …
A coal power plant is a type of power plant that produces electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. Coal is a combustible dark or black substance that is extracted from the ground and burned as fuel. This type of power plant is quite different from other power sources like wind energy …
It is very important to use your power bank properly. While the new USB-C standard is now automatic, meaning it will automatically select the correct voltage for your device, there are a few devices out there that still use traditional set power voltages. Even our newest power banks still support legacy manual voltage selection. For …
Last time we talked about Wind Energy, this time, we’ll talk about solar power. Solar Power or Solar Energy – is an energy that comes from the sun and converts it into electricity. It is one of the most in-demand types of power sources in the world because its price and size are reachable and …

That is why mikegyver.com is eager to share some ideas on where power sources are from. To start this series, let us take a look at how …
In our prior post, we talked about perpetual energy, this time we’ll talk about a related form of that. Regenerative braking. But before we start let us understand some keywords/key terms that shall be used in this explanation. KEYWORDS/KEY TERMS: Kinetic Energy – a form of energy that it possesses due to its motion. It …
A perpetual motion machine is a machine that continues to do work perpetually by turning or moving without any energy source (unless you count gravity). This machine’s motion continues forever unless you stop or break the motion. It is called perpetual motion because the motion never stops and it keeps turning around perpetually. It sounds …
