Im going greener keeping my own chickens

October 21st, 2009

I gots some useful information from theses guys regarding building chicken runs ,from now on I am going to be keeping my own chickens. I learnt a lot from this ebook that they recommended and ended up using some recycled timber I had lying around. the plans were very thorough, you might want to check it out if you would like to introduce chickens to your garden.

Where and in what context could wave power be utilized?

November 22nd, 2009


I would say in locations with regular tides and no other access to power, like a developing nation. It could be used similarly as solar panels are used in some villages to collect energy to operate pumps for wells ect.

are sugar free energy drinks as bad as the regular ones?

November 22nd, 2009

i know its a stupid question. but people say energy drinks are bad for you cause there loaded with sugar. if the energy drink is sugar free what makes it bad?

Sugar free anything is worse than sugar drinks. The sugar drinks are terrible for you.

What happens is your body reacts to diet drinks the same way it does sugar. The Hypothalamus senses sweetness and sends TRH hormone to the pituitary causing it to send hormones to the pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like a key to unlock the insulin receptors located in the membranes of each cell. When the cell door is open to let glucose in and there is no glucose, the receptors get fatigued. Then the body thinks it still needs more insulin, so the pancreas gets the message to send more insulin. Still no sugar there, so the cells get very resistant to the insulin. Now the body has to release glucagon to lower the blood sugar level that is in a state of chaos, and the adrenal glands get involved because the body thinks it is in a state of "flight or fight." So adrenaline and cortisol is released and the adrenals get exhausted. The body uses up it’s supply of pregnenalone producing the excess cortisol and the steroid hormones are not made in the liver.

You feel the high from the adrenaline and the cortisol, but your body’s organs are exhausted and cannot perform other necessary functions to stay normal.

All this starts a cascade of events that leads to eventual premature death. The cascade is hypoglycemia to diabetes type II, and then eventually kidney failure.

The so called "energy" drinks are garbage and very damaging to the body. Dietetic or Sugared, all the same garbage.

Also, these drinks, like coffee, tea, fruit juices, etc. all dehydrate you and thereby depleting you of water you need for necessary functions in the body.

good luck to you

Solar or wind power? Is there a company provider that doesn’t cost thousands to install? Can be hooked up 4 le

November 22nd, 2009

Solar or wind power? Is there a company provider that doesn’t cost thousands to install? A service that’s less than regular power & can be hooked up the same way with out the high price!

check places such as ebay for used parts and learn how to set it up yourself.

for example: Solar panels that are 10 years old may be bulky, but they produce almost as much energy and costs a lot less.

wind and wave power how long will it last?

November 21st, 2009

If their were enough wind and wave farms to supply mankinds power needs, how long before the oceans become calm, and the wind stops blowing?

Hey! What a question!
When wind stop blowing and oceans become calme that’s the apoaclypse.
There will be alwyas wind to blow slowly or fast, there will be always ocean movements in the time where the earth is turning. But the question is on how to take profit from that natural phenomenes.
You can always easily make your wind power network to generate electricity for your home daily needs, just go to: http://www.windpowercost.org
Good luck !

What is the standard Gibbs free energy for the transformation of diamond to graphite at 298 K?

November 21st, 2009

INFO:
graphite: standard enthalpy = 0 & entropy=5.740
diamond :standard enthalpy = 1.897 & entropy=2.38

QUESTION:

What is the standard Gibbs free energy for the transformation of diamond to graphite at 298 K?

Cdiamond —> Cgraphite

Just u should know the formula
which is
DeltaG°=DeltaH°-TDeltaS°=

And the Final Answer should be -2.9

What is wind power currently used for?

November 21st, 2009

So we all know why wind power should be used and what it CAN be used for. But what I want to know is what is it being used for now?
What I mean is, where in the world are machinery like wind turbines being used and what are they powering.

There’s some in California. Quite a few. Wind doesn’t usually generate a whole lot of power….

"…used directly to propel sailing ships or converted into mechanical energy for pumping water or grinding grain, but the principal application of wind power today is the generation of electricity."

BBC Newsnight Swift Wind Turbine.3gp

November 21st, 2009

While massive sized wind turbines have generated their share of controversy due to perceived threats on wildlife, noise and slinging of snow and ice, small wind turbines have solved these objections. Quiet, animal friendly and economical, wind power can be harvested directly to your building, from farm to city.

Swift Wind Turbines one great alternative design for wind power. www.swiftwindturbine.com
