134.214.83.210: /* C */

This is the global collection of lists of articles that are needed by [[Marspedia]] and shall be a guide for authors, who want to start new articles without knowing which direction to go.

If you feel there is a list missing then please create it! Try to avoid creating empty lists - and keep the [[Marspedia:About#Marspedia_Policies|Marspedia policies]] in mind. You can create a missing list or work on an existing list. Both this list and the listed lists are maintained manually.

Eventually, most of the links here should go from missing to existing, meaning this framework's goal will have been achieved.

Please do not hesitate to update everything and bring in your ideas.

To use this list:
* To add more types of articles, insert the names of one or more desired lists on this page. Be sure to use <nowiki>"[[" and "]]"</nowiki> to make it a link
* Click on missing list links to open an editor window to supply a missing list.
** Insert applicable article names into the new list, also with <nowiki>"[[" and "]]"</nowiki> each.
** The new list should contain the line <nowiki>{{Bootstrap}}</nowiki> at the top.

=='''A'''==
[[List of Academia]] 
[[List of Agricultural Products]] 
[[List of Agricultural Technologies]] 
[[List of Analog Station Efforts]] 
[[List of Analog Station Designs]]

I have to show some appreciation to this wretir just for bailing me out of such a incident. Just after surfing around throughout the internet and seeing basics which were not pleasant, I figured my entire life was well over. Existing without the solutions to the difficulties you've sorted out as a result of your post is a serious case, as well as those which might have adversely damaged my entire career if I hadn't noticed your web blog. Your good mastery and kindness in dealing with the whole lot was very helpful. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn't discovered such a step like this. It's possible to at this time look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time very much for this expert and amazing help. I will not be reluctant to propose your web sites to anybody who will need assistance on this area.

134.214.83.210: /* Uses of Electricity */

[[Image:ElectricityIcon.png|thumb|right|100px|Danger Icon]]

'''Electricity''' is the most versatile kind of [[energy]] used on [[Earth]]. It plays an important part in almost every modern [[:category:technology|technology]]. Electricity can be transmitted easily over a distance via [[cable]]s. It can be transformed into several other energy forms. A [[settlement]] on [[Mars]] can hardly be imagined without electricity.

==Generation==
Electrical energy can be produced directly in several ways.

===Photovoltaics===
The conversion of [[photons]] to electricity.
* [[Solar panel|Solar Panel]]

===Mechanical Generators===
The interactions between moving [[magnet|magnets]] or [[electromagnet|electromagnets]] can be used to produce electricity.
* [[Generator]]
* [[Magnetohydrodynamic generator|MHD Generator]]
* [[Dynamo]]
* [[Alternator]]
* [[homopolar generator|Homopolar Generator]]

===Thermoelectric Generators===
A [[thermoelectric generator]] produces electricity from differences in thermal energy between two or more areas.
* [[Bismuth Telluride]]
* [[radioisotope thermoelectric generator|RTG]]
* [[Thermocouple]]

===Piezoelectrics===
[[Piezoelectricity]] is the generation of electricity as a direct result of mechanical deformation.

===Electrochemistry===
* [[Battery]]
* [[Electrochemical cell|Electrochemical Cell]]

Direct current can be pucdroed from solar energy.Solar cells are also called photovoltaic cells. Solar cells convert the light into direct current electricity, which is the same kind of electricity you would find in a standard battery. Once the energy is converted to electricity, it can be stored in a battery or sent through an inverter which changes the electricity to alternating current, the type of electricity that powers everyday electric items.

==Significance for a Martian colony==

===Inevitabilities===
For some settlement applications electricity can not be avoided. This is true for [[radio link]] and night time lighting.

===Alternatives===
Although there is some comfort in using electricity for a variety of applications, there are on the other hand some disadvantages to be considered. The storage of large amounts of electrical energy is a problem. Moreover, every transformation causes some loss of energy. The following alternatives may provide an advantage:
* Movement of machine parts can alternatively be created by muscle work, [[pneumatics]] or [[hydraulics]]. Muscle work is, for a certain degree, always available. Combination with [[physical exercise]] should be considered. [[Compressed-air]] is an easy storage for pneumatic energy.
* Heating can be avoided with a thick thermal [[insulation]]. At best the human metabolism and the lighting cause enough heat for a comfortable room temperature.
* Automation can be implemented with pneumatics.
