Solar Tree

INTRODUCTION

It is a form of renewable energy resource that is some measure competitive with fossil fuels. Hydro power is the force of energy of moving water. It provides about 96% of the renewable energy in the united state. Hydro electric power plants do not use any resources   to create electricity or they do not pollute the air.

The sun is a hydrodynamic spherical body of extremely hot-ionized gases(plasma), generating energy by the process of the thermonuclear fusion.

Solar energy is available in abundance and considered as the easiest and cleanest means of tapping the renewable energy. For direct conversion of solar radiation into usable form, the routes are: solar thermal, solar photovoltaic and solar architecture. However the main problem associated with tapping solar energy is the requirement to install large solar collectors requires a very big space. To avoid this problem we can install a solar tree in spite of a no of solar panels which require a very small space.

WHAT IS A SOLAR TREE

A solar tree is a decorative means of producing solar energy and also electricity. It uses multiple no of solar panels which forms the shape of a tree. The panels are arranged in a tree fashion in a tall tower/pole.

TREE stands for

T= TREE GENERATING

R=RENEWABLE

E=ENERGY and

E=ELECTRICITY

This is like a tree in structure and the panels are like leaves of the tree which produces energy.

WHY WE CALLED IT AS SOLAR TREE

As we know trees are present in nature and they can produce their own food material by the process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. It is the process by which the green plant collects energy from sun and the water present in soil at the day time and can produces their own food material. By this process they are indirectly providing food to the human society because we are depending on the green plants for our food directly or indirectly.

Here we are considering the example for understanding about the solar tree. This is a tree in which the stems connected acts as the branches of the tree and the solar panels are like the leaves. Green leaves are producing food materials for human beings likewise this leaves are producing energy for the society. So it is very appropriate to called it as a tree.

WHY IT IS NEEDED

Due to less land requirement:

It is the best option of energy generation because it requires very less land as compare to the traditional PV system. Now a day’s land becomes the costliest commodity for the human society because of high population growth. So we require such a plant which can generate maximum energy using minimum land.

Efficient energy generation:

It can generate energy very efficiently as compare to traditional system. Due to the technique called spiraling phyllataxy its efficiency further increase. Though it is somehow costly but as compare to all cost involve in traditional system it is more efficient.

It can collect energy from wind:

As the name suggest this is a device to generate energy from sun but it has some unique feature to generate energy from wind. The stem are flexible so that they can rotate in any direction and by shaking themselves they produce energy also from wind as in the case of a natural tree.

Top 10 Super Bikes

1. Dodge TomahawkWith only 9 units produced, the Tomahawk is the fastest motorcycles ever build. Using a 500 HP V10 engine taken from a Dodge Viper, the model is difficult to match in terms of power. Theoretically, the bike can reach 350 MPH but at that point, the laws of physics and aerodynamics would make it fly off the road. Today it is the fastest bike but time will tell if manufacturers will attempt to build something even more powerful.
2. Suzuki HayabusaThe series kicked off in 1999 and with the introduction of the of the 1340 cc engine capable of a maximum output of 197 HP, the Hayabusa was capable of reaching 248 MPH. Such power is difficult to match at truly earns the number two spot.
3. MTT Turbine Superbike Y2KFor some time, it held the Guinness World Record for the fastest production motorcycle. The original model was introduced back in 2000 and even today, after more than a decade, it still stands in the top 3 world fastest. It can reach a top speed of 227 MPH and generates 320 HP at 52.000 RPM.
4. Honda CBR1100XX BlackbirdSome call it a super bike, others named it a tank on two wheels. The Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird is truly one of the fastest bikes ever made to date. With its top speed of 190 MPH, the 153 HP make it a beast on the road. To make this happen, Honda borrowed elements from the Kawasaki ZX-11 to make up for a highly appreciated sport touring bike.
5. Yamaha YZF R1Some call it a true liter class due to its 1000 cc engine which actually got it closer to what some might say a true racing motorcycle needs. This power is coming from a 4 cylinder 20 valve engine with a maximum output of 128 HP and a maximum speed of 186 MHP.
6. MV Agusta F4MV Agusta F4 was initialy manufactured by the Italian automotive giant Ferrari. It was meant to become a luxurious motorcycle but it turned out that the buyers were more interested in its speed more any other feature. With its powerful 200 HP engine, the bike proved to be one of the fastest accelerating motorcycles capable of reaching 185 MHP.




7. Kawasaki NinjaFor about one decade, the Ninja model held the trophy of being the fastest bike that went in production. The series is still being produced today and there is no sign of Kawasaki discontinuing it. The currently available model uses a 11.352 cc liquid cooled engine capable of reaching 186 MPH or 299 KMPH. These numbers made it the fastest consumer available bike for quite some time and still remains one of the most known models of the manufacturer.
8. Aprilia RSV 1000R MilleThe 1000R Mille is an Italian bike using an Australian engine. It is one of their most famous models that is still being used in competitions, especially the RSV 04 model. The engine is only 998 cc but can reach 175 MPH. It is capable of a maximum output of 141 HP at 1000 RPM which sets it a bit back in terms of power but the speed of the bike makes it worth of being listed in the eighth position.
9. BMW K1200 SThe K1200 S is just 5 mph faster than the Ducati. Even it its price is bit higher, the extra top speed makes it land safely on the ninth position. The current edition of the bike that is commercially available uses a 16 valve 4 cylinder engine that generates 164 HP at 10250 RPM. The manufacturers did not neglect the design of the being as it is one of the best looking bikes from the list.
10. Ducati 1098 SeriesUsing a 1099 cc engine cranking up around 160 HP, the Ducati is one of the fastest bikes in the world. It is also one of most bought superbikes. It can reach up to 169 miles per hour using its highly efficient four valves per cylinder engine. It is affordable, fast and good looking. Ducati made sure that their motorcycle will surely become one of the kings of the street.

10 Facts About Earth

FACT 1

Earth is the only planet in the Solar System to have water in its three states of matter: as a solid (ice), a liquid (sea, rain, etc.) and as a gas (clouds). These are all shown below. Water is, of course, the most important liquid for life.

FACT 2

Earth is almost five billion years old, although life (resembling life as we know it) has only existed on the planet for the last 150 million to 200 million years. This means that life has only been present on Earth for only 5%-10% of its lifetime.

FACT 3

Earth and Mercury are the two most dense planets in the Solar System. This means that particles inside the planet are most closely packed together.

FACT 4

The length of time it takes for Earth to orbit the Sun is 365 and a quarter days. To make up this extra quarter which isn't counted at the end of a year, we have an extra day every four years on 29th February. The next Leap Year will be in 2012.

FACT 5

Earth is gradually slowing down. Every few years, an extra second is added to make up for lost time. Millions of years ago, a day on Earth will have been 20 hours long. It is believed that, in millions of years time, a day on Earth will be 27 hours long.

FACT 6

The center of the Earth, its core, is molten. This means that it is liquid rock which sometimes erupts onto the surface through volcanic eruptions. This core is 7,500°c, hotter than the surface of the Sun.

FACT 7

Earth is the only planet in the Solar System not to be named after a mythical God.

FACT 8

Despite being called Earth, only 29% of the surface is actually 'earth.' The rest of the planet's surface (71%) is made up of water.

FACT 9

From a distance, Earth would be the brightest of the planets. This is because sunlight is reflected off the planet's water.

FACT 10

Earth is the only planet in the Solar System known to be geologically active, with Earthquakes and volcanoes forming the landscape, replenishing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and erasing impact craters from meteors.

GSM Based Load Monitoring Of Transformer

                  

Abstract: This project is developed with the aim of monitoring of the load of remotely located transformer. This project also have feature to shift the access load to the stand by transformer, if the load increases. Another feature of our project is that we get the SMS upon the switching of the load from one transformer to another. For this we have use GSM MODEM and interfaced with our controller unit. The project also have serial ADC, 8051 based controller board, real board, relay driver, transformer, GSM MODEM, Power supply.

Working: The working of the project can be describe in the following steps-

·        There are two transformers, one is main transformer and another is stand by. The load is connected to main transformer via a relay control board.

·        The current to load is sensed by a current sensor circuit. This circuit compromises with current transformer.

·        Now the output of the current sensor is given to the serial ADC circuit, which converts the analog input to digital value.

·        This digital value is given to 8051 based controller unit, which captures the value of the ADC. The 8051 is programmed with suitable code which regularly checks the current value.

·        If the value is increased with the pre define threshold value, the 8051 based board energized the relay board and shift the increased load to the standby transformer.

·        At a same time the 8051 also sends the at command to the GSM MODEM, to send SMS to the site engineer to inform the status of the load on the transformer.
