Abstract— Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy, such as using wind turbines to make electrical power, wind mills for mechanical power,, wind pumps for water pumping or drainage, or sails to propel ships. Wind power, as an alternative to fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation and uses little land. The effects on the environment are generally less problematic than those from other power sources, with the sole exception being wind powers disproportionate effects on vulnerable to extinction avian wildlife, such as that observed with golden eagle and endangered raptor species.

III. CONCEPT OF THE ADAPTIVE WIND TURBINE
In this section, the design of the wind turbine is explained. This device features an Inner Compression Cone Technology, which will squeeze and compress the incoming air in order to create more power in the turbine. Compressed Air Enclosed Wind Turbine completely eliminates the three massive blades seen on most wind turbines. The blades are internal, closer together and smaller. Therefore eliminating the sound, the traditional blades make as they spin and swoop past a tower.
Inner compression cone technology squeezes the incoming air and compresses it to more than 4 times the pressure. The compressed air then collides with the static wheel which has blade on its rim.
The blade re-directs the air into dynamic wheel which has blade placed exactly opposite to the previous blade structure. This causes the wheel to rotate in the shaft producing mechanical energy. The generator is connected in the other end of the shaft which generates

The pressure of air increases as it enters the duct and the speed of the rotating blade increases producing electricity in the generator.
VI. TECHNICAL DESIGN OF AWT
In accordance with the AWT, a novel and useful wind power apparatus usable on a variety of surfaces is herein provided. The apparatus of the AWT utilizes an anchor rotatably fixed to the surface of the ground. The anchor is generally upright and is not intended to be movable relative to an axis in the present application. The anchor preferably includes portions which rotate about the axis of the anchor to allow it to rotate as needed. A chute is also employed in the AWT and is linked to the anchor by a connector.
The chute possesses a chamber which allows the passage of the wind from the chute entrance to the chute exit. The chute may be constructed of relatively light weight and flexible material, such as coated cloth and the like. The chute connector may include a series of lines which are fixed to the anchor and are preferably of equal length. The chute may take a form of a truncated cone, a cylinder, and the
4.11 Motor A DC motor is an electrical machine which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. A magnetic field is generated by the current carrying conductor and when this system is placed in external magnetic field then the force is exerted which is proportional to the strength of the external magnetic field and to the current in the conductor, then motor will rotate. If the direction of current is reversed then the direction of rotation of motor will also reverse.
Out of six First Nation groups, we agree Lower Kootenay Band to be the most favorable one to propose our wind energy project to after discussing with my group members. They have a very open territory of 6,000 acres, and a small population. Currently, they are seeking “Clean Energy Opportunities” and our business fits right in the criteria. The reason we did not choose Hesquiaht and Tsawout First Nation is because both are located on Vancouver Island with relatively denser population and many tourists. Ferries and ships occupy the sea nearby, almost impossible to develop offshore wind turbines.
The Omaha Storm Chasers are a Minor League Baseball team founded just outside of Omaha, Nebraska in the city of Papillion. Due to the Storm Chasers being located in a high population, such as Omaha, the team can interest a larger community of fans that most Minor League teams can’t do. This outstanding Minor League team is affiliated as the Triple-A organization for none other than the defending World Series champions the Kansas City Royals, and has been affiliated with the Royals since 1969, giving the fans of the Royals a team to cheer for in Nebraska. The Storm Chasers play their games at the beautiful Werner Park, a place that provides wholesome entertainment and quality baseball games for the thousands of fans watching. This ballpark can hold up to 9,000 thrilled fans, also this unique park has a grass berm seating section in the outfield area, making the experience a little different than a regular ball game.
In chapter three of “No Promises in the Wind” the train stopped in a town late in the afternoon. The bulls (as called in the book) are the men who are sent to get the free riders off of the train, but after the accident the bulls were nowhere to be seen. Everyone on the trains were able to get off on their own accord, because there were no bulls around. In the town’s depot no one paid any attention to them. Joey’s face was red and swollen because of all the crying he had done.
Their results indicated that there is a trade off with sandpipers between food availability and safety. There were far fewer than expected sandpipers in areas with high food abundance where the danger is high and greater than predicted numbers in areas where the safety increased. This led to the conclusion that the quality of a site for conservation should be determined by not only food abundance but also predation risks as well. Certain sites cannot be protected based on the fact that they have a high availability of food as those areas may also have an increased presence of predators. Pomeroys ' experiment suggests that both an abundant food source and the potential presence of predators can determine the choice of a site as a migratory stopover for sandpipers, and as such should be taken into consideration when determining habitat conservation acts for the
Group 1: How might the ungulates introduced to Hawaii affect the habitats of native birds? Ungulates, which included cattle, goats, pigs, sheep and horses, are seen to cause devastation of native plants and forests that are the native birds’ habitats. Also, majority of the bird species living in the main island are being restricted to live only on 2 forests because of the decrease in forests; however, due to the feral cattle that eat through native forests, they are threatening the native forest birds and their habitats. Pigs and goats are also seen to cause a serious damage by feeding on native tree ferns and young trees, destroying the woods in which the birds nest.
The relations Chudleigh makes represent her freedom and enable women to lead their own lives. Clifton portrays her strength to free herself from white ideas about black bodies and from patriarchal assertions about female weakness. She goes on to write “these hips are mighty hips/
The mechanical vibrations transmitted through a medium; solid, liquid or a gas generates a sound wave. The sound is an energy, which deflects the particles of a medium in the same direction, and itself travel as a longitudinal waveform with areas of compression and rarefactions. The image generated by ultrasound is essentially based on similar principle by means of a machine, which includes an ultrasound transducer and a screen. The transducer contains a piezoelectric crystal made up of lead zirconite, which generates an ultrasound beam on applying an electrical current to the transducer. These signals travel through a medium in the body and after striking with various tissues, return back to the transducer.
The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 16, 1947.[1] However, tropical cyclogenesis began with the development of a tropical depression on June 13.[2] There was a total of seven tropical storms, five of them strengthened into hurricanes, while two of those became major hurricanes – Category 3 or higher on the modern day Saffir–Simpson scale.[3] The final system, a tropical depression, was absorbed by a cold front on December 1, one month after the official end of the season on November 1, 1947.[1] Four hurricanes and four tropical storms made landfall during the season.[4] Overall, the tropical cyclones of this season caused about $184.2 million in damage and at least 101 fatalities.[5] The United States death toll of 53 was
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind Analytical Writing Assignment Draft: (More than 75% of Malawi live below the poverty line, and 98% of them do not have electricity in their daily lives. However, a youthful child from Malawi managed to go against all odds and build a windmill in his own backyard to create electricity for people in his town to utilize. In the memoir, William is a young boy with a great deal of potential stranded in a place with an absence of many facilities. Although William and his family face many problems during the story, he manages to overcome all these hardships and sacrifice all he can to give himself a proper education. Throughout the book, he develops a love for science and starts building a windmill to create electricity in his home.)
The machine was powered by a hand crank that turned two cylinders with teeth on it. One cylinder would separate the seeds from the cotton and the other cylinder would pull the cotton into a separate compartment (Whitney, 2014). It was important to separate the seeds into a different compartment because they also had economic value, but nowhere in comparison to that of cotton. The seeds were used in cottonseed oil that was used in the production of candy, cooking, cattle feed and paper (Woods, 2009).
Tornadoes are the most violent storms ever. They have caused deaths of many people. Then they also destroyed many buildings and acres of land. Many people are not friends with tornadoes as they sometimes destroy someone's business, and lead people's careers to an end. Also some people are just unlucky, because the country they live might have a lot of tornadoes.
If I could somehow get the wind to spin the blades on a windmill and rotate the magnets in a dynamo, I could create electricity… ‘Gilbert, I’m going to build a windmill.’ I’d never tried anything like it before. But I knew that if someone else could build them in Europe and America, then I could build one in Malawi. Gilbert smiled. ‘When do we start?’"(p.150).
In the industry of automobiles, electric vehicles are a new emerging concept. Different automobile companies have modeled their cars with different specifications. We have those companies that have designed proactive vehicles that use only electricity. We have companies that design hybrid cars which run on both gas and electricity.
What happens is that since the air on the land takes less time to heat up than the air on the ocean, the warm air on the land starts to rise and expand. As the warm air rises the cold air flows into its place as, hence creating a flow of air, which is wind. During the night the opposite happens. The air on the land cools down faster than the air on the water, the same process occurs and wind is again created, meaning that a wind turbine can be used day and night. The only necessary condition for wind turbines to work is that there is wind, which turns the blades.
