20 May 2014 A World with Thorium The research investigates the benefits of Thorium as an alternative source of energy. The scope of the essay was focused on four main points: how long reserves of Thorium would last‚ the benefits of reduced pollution using Thorium reactors‚ Thorium’s inability to be used in weapons‚ and its advantage over the current nuclear fuel Uranium. Most sources were found in a database called EBSCOhost‚ in which there was a concept for a reactor known as the Radkowsky design

Energy in food lab report Aim: How much energy there is in food. Hypothesis: If I work out how much the water temperature has risen by burning food underneath water‚ the mass of the water and the mass of food I can work out how much energy was in the food. Introduction: This experiment is about how much energy there is in food. There are a few different types of energy‚ the one we are looking at is chemical energy. Some other types of energy are: thermal energy which is heat‚ magnetic energy which

First of all‚ we know that the sun and wind energy are the most advance alternative energy. Today‚ mankind are beginning to look for energy that will support their life for the next century. So I could not think other than sun and wind energy as the best alternative energy resources‚ however it still needs a lot of development. The sun radiates vast amount of energy‚ which nourishes all life on earth and is the driving force behind the planets weather patterns and other natural cycles. In order
