Tidal Energy role in environment control

Tidal energy role in enhancing Electrical energy. 
 Tidal Energy :-
     Tidal energy plays a significant role in environmental control by offering a "renewable and clean energy source". 
     It reduces reliance on fossil fuels, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants associated with traditional energy. Generation:-
  Tidal energy systems, like turbines and barrages, can be designed to minimize environmental impacts, and in some cases, even enhance coastal ecosystems. 
Environmental benefits:-
1) Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions:-
    Tidal energy is a low-carbon energy source, significantly reducing the release of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other pollutants compared to fossil fuels. 
2) Clean Energy Source:-
      It doesn't produce waste products or pollutants like traditional power plants, contributing to cleaner air and water. 
3) Predictable and Reliable:-
     Tidal energy is a predictable resource, making it a reliable baseload power source, unlike some other renewables like solar or wind. 
4) Coastal Ecosystem Benefits:-
   While construction can have some impact, well-designed tidal energy systems can contribute to coastal resilience and even create habitats for marine life. 
5) Reduced Reliance on Nuclear Power:-
     Tidal energy can potentially reduce the need for nuclear power, mitigating the risks associated with radioactive waste and accidents. 
   However, it's important to acknowledge that tidal energy projects, like any large infrastructure development, can have environmental impacts. These impacts include:
6) Habitat Modification:-
    Barrages and other structures can alter coastal ecosystems, potentially impacting intertidal mudflats, salt marshes, and other sensitive habitats. 
7) Impact on Fish and Marine Life:-
   Structures like turbines can create collision risks for fish and marine mammals, and changes in water flow and sediment patterns can affect their habitats. 
8) Water Quality:-
     Tidal energy removal can alter water flow and sediment transport, potentially affecting water quality and nearshore ecosystems. 
 energy, though a significant untapped renewable resource, currently contributes a small fraction to global electricity generation. The world's tidal energy potential is vast, estimated at 3,000 GW, but only a portion, around 120-400 GW, is realistically accessible for electricity generation. 
Current Status and Potential:-
 .   Energy, though a significant untapped renewable resource, currently contributes a small fraction to global electricity generation.
     The world's tidal energy potential is vast, estimated at 3,000 GW, but only a portion, around 120-400 GW, is realistically accessible for electricity generation. 
Current Status and Potential:
Total energy in tides:-
    The world's tides contain a total of approximately 3,000 gigawatts (GW) of energy.
Capturable energy:-
A portion of this energy, estimated between 120 and 400 GW, is potentially available for power generation through tidal barrages.
Tidal stream power:-
  Tidal stream power, which uses ocean currents, could generate around 3,800 terawatt-hours (TWh) per year, according to some estimates.
Global consumption:-
   In 2016, global electricity consumption was about 21,000 terawatt-hours, indicating a considerable potential for tidal power to contribute significantly to future energy needs. 
Current Tidal Energy Production:-
     Global tidal energy market:-
    The global tidal energy market was estimated at 127 GWh in 2022.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan     Japan has developed a technology that allows houses to literally lift off the ground during earthquakes, protecting them from damage.    This is achieved using a system of compressed air and sensors that inflate an airbag under the house, lifting it a few centimeters during tremors. The house then gently settles back down when the shaking stops.      Japan has developed innovative earthquake-resistant technology that allows houses to lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage. This is achieved through systems like the one developed by Air Danshin, which uses compressed air to lift houses on airbags. When sensors detect tremors, the airbag inflates, raising the house a few centimeters and preventing it from shaking violently with the ground.    More detailed explanation: Airbag Technology:- Air Danshin has pioneered the use of large airbags placed b...
