Renewable Energy Sources Charged With Energy from the Sun and Originated from Earth-Moon Interactions -Volume IEvald Emilievich Shpilrain EOLSS Publications, 14.08.2009 - 356 Seiten Renewable Energy Sources Charged with Energy from the Sun and Originated from Earth-Moon Interaction theme is a component of Encyclopedia of Energy Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. The volume on Renewable Energy Sources Charged with Energy from the Sun and Originated from Earth-Moon Interaction, considers energy sources that are renewable in the sense that they are continually renewed, charged mainly by solar radiation, regardless of their utilization. In addition to energy sources charged by the sun, the subject of tidal energy, which originates from the gravitational interaction of the earth, moon, and sun, is also provided. This theme is structured in five main topics: Renewable Energy Sources Charged with Energy from the Sun ; Energy from Biomass; Wind Energy, Natural Temperature Differences as an Energy Source; Wave Energy; Tidal Energy, which are then expanded into multiple subtopics, each as a chapter.These two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs. |
