Latest News And Future Projects For Electricity Generation

By Chris Channing

Advances in the field of electrical energy generation will peak the interests of most people. Our energy demands will increase over time and alternative forms of electrical energy may be free and more cost effective to produce over time making energy costs drastically drop as well as helping to save the planet. The newest technologies are making it possible to power our world in a more eco friendly manner.

The newest technologies that have been introduced into working real world conditions are large scale water turbines for generation of electricity using water currents and tide ascension or recession. Many studies have confirmed that this is an efficient way of generating a constant current with the movement of the moon. The ocean also has many natural currents that can be utilized to generate great flows of electrical energy.

Solar cells are amazing. They emulate the natural process that plants use to turn the sun's rays into useable energy. The only difference is that instead of producing sugars, we produce straight electricity to power all of our appliances and more. Much advancement in the process of harnessing solar energy as well as the materials used has made solar energy dramatically improve. Also with the help of light focusing lenses that amplify the intensity of the sun onto the solar cells allow for more energy to be absorbed and converted into useable electricity.

Nuclear power sources and other harmful byproduct producing energy sources are being improved upon. They will emit less dangerous byproducts as well as helping to keep the planet cleaner by expelling less waste. Over time the energy sources such as these will be obsolete as we will be able to power everything with alternative electrical energy sources.

Eventually, there will be a special way to transfer electricity through the air waves. Experiments with helicopters and transfer of energy through microwaves have proven successful in the transference of electrical energy to a ground station. This allows for future of advancements in energy transfer and possible charging capabilities from long distance sources.

Solar energy cells will be able to be installed in space to collect solar energy. With advancements in energy transfer such as with the helicopter experiment, we will be able to collect energy that is almost pure and in constant collection of solar energy. These advancements may free us from energy solutions that harm the earth and create bad side effects that can harm the ecology of the world.

Closing Comments

The future looks bright, and that light is powered by alternative energy sources. This makes it possible to help our planet heal over time and maybe global warming can be stopped or reduced enough to affect our future generations a lot less. - 15437
