Hey Scholars,
Hopefully you enjoyed your first experiences in AP Env. Science. Looks like most of you are gettin the hang of this whole Blogging thing. This week's topic is Energy Resources. Your Challenge this week is to research and find online one new innovative product on the market now or soon to be on the market. This product's main focus must be on energy efficiency. Post the link (url) so we can all check out the Goods! Oh yeah and please write your name and class period. Some of you I CANNOT tell by your crazy usernames.... Don't forget about your plan to lower your ecological footprint. Keep Up With It!
Salude

I got this link by looking up solared power products of 2010. Its a 2010 power system for office buildings and cabins. It can work it to 10hrs.
The average American famiy washes about 400 loads of clothes per year. But you can cut down a third of the cost by using an ENERGY STAR washer. And half of that is water. The link is http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=find_a_product.showProductGroup&pgw_code=CW

i like the dyso air multiplier that crystal put up. not only is it energy effeciant but it also is safer around kids and can help reduce allergies becuase it is easier to clean of dirt or grime that may biuld up........plus i think its fun to play with :P
ReplyDeletei also like nick simons windmills becuase i cant stand coal energy cuz they are shavinng off tops of mountains in the beautiful state of kentucky. especially where my family is from. i completly oppose coal energy and im all for the windmills like in palms springs california

If every American home replaced just one light with a light that's earned the ENERGY STAR, we would save enough energy to light 3 million homes for a year, save about $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent 9 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions per year, equivalent to those from about 800,000 cars.

This dishwater is the first to select a different type of wash for the top and bottom rack. It uses less than 1/3 of the water that normal dish washers use.
And I just noticed that this is under the website that Danielle posted, but I found this before I read hers so not copyright!
I like Ryan's, if we changed just 1 lightbulb we could change the greenhouse emissions that much, why haven't we done this earlier

This link has a variety of energy efficent products. But, i like the Home Energy Manager by Direct Energy. It Is a flat screen device linked to all of ur electronic appliances in your house and allows you to set up budgets for the amount of energy you want to use per month. When you are about to reach your budget it gives you an alert and some tips on how to reach your goal.

This is a great energy efficient water heater. It is a tankless water heater which takes up a lot less space. Also tankless water heaters heats water only at the time it is being used, instead of storing pre-heated water in a water tank. Reducing wasted energy on reheating the same water multiple times.

So i think my pick looks like a good product because it wud allow economy expansion and city growth while helping the environment. If more big buildings could be efficient, there would be less energy used. it can reduce energy costs by 5%. wut it is, is a coating for windows that when used with regular clear glass windows, it absorbs solar power.

Geothermal energy is still relatively new and very efficient. It's basically using the internal heat of the earth as energy. Geothermal heat pumps are 300 times more efficient than a regular heater.

Unlike air cooled units, which lose in the range of 25 percent of their rated efficiency at temperatures exceeding 100° F relative to their SEER rating, the efficiency of an evaporative water cooled unit has a minimal drop.
ReplyDeleteIn the past, evaporative cooled condenser units were used only in commercial applications. Now one manufacturer has a model that is designed specifically for the residential market.
Water removes heat from the condenser coils far more efficiently than air. The heat transfer and evaporative process is increased via a fan on top of the condenser.

the newest model of the toyota prius hybrid! i just rode in one the other day it it felt like i was riding on a cloud. and they are very energy efficient, so i'm sure you've heard. plus your gas last longer because it switches between gas and electric. it's great. and super comf. !!!

Up to 15% of your electric bills come from items that are left plugged in when they are not in use, or items that are in standby mode. You can reduce this ‘phantom load’. With this 10 outlet Smart Strip Power Strip, the outlets work together, switching your devices on and off automatically while saving you money on your electric bills.
