How Nuclear Energy Works?

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 …

Why inverters are a waste of energy?

Inverters vs. Direct Current. Power Inverters make life easier by allowing you to plug-in your low-powered devices into your car for example. However as we’ll explain below, your car is not the same type of power that your home uses. So while convenient, you are sacrificing convenience for energy inefficiency, lower run time, and safety. …

IDEA: Is Perpetual Motion Possible?

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 …
