 Windmill


A revolution in the world of sustainable development and solar energy generation. The windmill is a solar energy generator which converts wind power into rotational energy by its blades movement which is specifically used in grain mill also in other requirements. It has diverse applications. The story of the windmill is many centuries beyond when it is used for different purposes and in different forms namely Horizontal and Vertical. Various further advancement was carried out by different country people. In the 14th century, Europe got familiar with the windmills and then came the wind turbine which is similar to windmill except designed for specific purposes of electricity and hence the new step in the development of windmill. The first wind turbine was built by Professor James of Scotland by the end of the 19th century. The use of wind energy in generating electricity is one of the examples of renewable energy. As the 21st century began, the concerns over depleting energy, climate deterioration, and global warming all issues related to the environment have raised dependency on renewable energy and so the use of wind energy. Presently China is the world’s leader in wind energy that having more than one-third of the world’s capacity whereas India is in 4th position. Denmark is the only country that generates 41% of country energy via wind energy. It simply means that windmills could be more reliable in the future. The powerful windmill is Haliade-X 12 MW; the one that provides electricity to a higher number of houses is considered as the most powerful. The windmill can only be used in places that have favorable conditions for this and it also requires a good amount of land. The project cost of wind turbines is much higher though it can provide electricity and a single rotation of some wind turbines generates enough electricity for household single day consumption. Hence it has the capacity but also requires capital. This thing typically requires the infrastructure to be well averse.

The Smallest Computer In The World

          The Smallest Computer In The World The Smallest Computer in the World Fits On a Grain of Rice. Researchers at the University of Michigan just created the world's smallest computer (again). After all, it's unclear if the IBM computer even counts as an actual microcomputer. The IBM device lost all its programming and data as soon as it turns off, unlike the Michigan Micro Mote, which retained its programming even when it wasn’t externally powered. “It’s more of a matter of opinion whether they have the minimum functionality required,” said David Blaauw, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at University of Michigan who helped develop the University of Michigan's newest tiny device. If the IBM machine constituted a computer, then University of Michigan would work to gain back their title: their latest micro device measures 0.3mm per side (1/10th the size of IBM’s computer), and is smaller than a grain of rice. The de...

Thinking generally indicates the way we carry out thoughts in our minds. It is the internal stimuli that trigger our mind and we are bound to set up an image of the thoughts which we carry from our inner instincts.

  Specialties of the month of May The month of May signifies so many different things to people that it is hard, to sum up, its importance in a single thought. While May is considered a time of new harvest and celebrations for farmers across the country, it also ushers in the dreaded Indian summers, which in turn is symbolized by vacations for children and family trips to the hills for a lot of Indian families.  However, the importance of May runs much deeper than just the basic symbolic inferences to which we as a society often restrict ourselves to. It also has a significant place of honor within religious and spiritual connotations, cultural diversity and societal practices. Here are some of the unique things which make May, the most mystical of all months: Despite a majority of months being named after Greek Gods and even the occasional Roman king, May is named after Maia. She is the Greek Goddess of fertility and this is signified by May being the month of harvest for far...
