Sources of Renewable Energy that Might Surprise You

Renewable Energy that Might Surprise You


Renewable energy is something that is well known and is also something that modern scientist are still trying to master. Even with how vast the media and the internet is I am sure you have not seen these types of renewable energy. Whether or not these energy sources work is for a different blog, for now just have fun and enjoy this random information that is guaranteed
to blow your friend's mind. 

The first kind of renewable energy is solar wind energy. It is exactly as it sounds, we have solar energy, we also have wind energy, so why not put the two together. According to a blog written by Opus Energy, "if viable, we could potentially source one hundred billion times more power than humanity needs..." Of course that sounds like a crazy number, and this is because it is a crazy number. This is an energy source that will most likely not be possible for a while, but if we are ever to master this source of energy all energy problems would virtually be solved. 

The second and final form of energy is pretty obvious given the picture... right? If you guessed dance floor energy then you are absolutely right! This form of energy is exactly what it sounds like. In Holland there was a dance club opened that was called Club Watt in Rotterdam. The owners of this club rigged a way to make energy from the dance floor. The dance floor was setup with pressure plates that would ignite sparks when stepped on causing energy that the club owners were able to take and pump back into their club as an energy source. This personally was my favorite energy source that I learned about because it is something that I never would have expected, and the fact that it did indeed work blows my mind.

Which one was your favorite? What other unusual energy sources have you heard of?

SABIC resins reduces the weight from things such as dashboards to tailgates by as high as 40% which makes it to where vehicles can go farther. The technology world is trying to convince everyone to convert to electric vehicles. They depend on batteries that charge faster, run longer, and are also more efficient.

Want to go on a cruise ship, think again

Image
              As well as a lot of other people, I enjoy a nice relaxing day on the water. Some people decide to take a weeks worth of days on the water. Including a boat, food, and entertainment. Cruise ships are some what of a luxury with the fancy dinners every night. Swimming pools and massive halls for shows and people to perform. Not to forget some even have places to throw cards and gamble. In recent study’s, cruise ships are found to be a major contributor to the growth of on water environmental pollution and degradation. This is also due to the ever so increasing amount of people taking cruises along with the industry booming in the way that it did. The recent popularity before COVID-19 had researchers interested. So they did a few study’s and found out the information above. Other dangers that cruise ships might present is potential danger to passengers/staff physical and mental health including land-based residents who live close to the port.  Some crazy things that happen wh

Ocean Fish Stock by Aaron Hoffman

  The worlds ocean fish stock is on the verge of collapsing. T he  International Union for Conservation of Nature , Jared Ferrie reports that the oceans have absorbed more than 93 percent of the heat generated by human activity since the 1970s, primarily through its large surface area, volume, and low albedo. Last year, the ocean was its warmest in 136 years of records. The increase in temperature has led to new toxic organisms and algae bloom that poison fish. Many specials are leaving their natural habitats in search of cooler areas. Since fish are leaving their natural habitat it causes a lot of problems for the fish in the habitat they move to. Food starts to dwindle down quicker that it should and the people that eat fish can search for fish in that area but cast find any if the fish leave. People are also overfishing and causing species to decline.   https://youtu.be/AHI-B-4c2NU  https://www.newsecuritybeat.org/2017/02/ocean-fish-stocks-on-verge-collapse-irin-report/
