Electricity is the most versatile kind of energy used on Earth. It plays an important part in almost every modern technology. Electricity can be transmitted easily over a distance via cables. It can be transformed into several other energy forms. A settlement on Mars can hardly be imagined without electricity.
Contents
Generation
Electrical energy can be produced directly in several ways.
Photovoltaics
The conversion of photons to electricity.
[b]buy clomid 25mg in usa wituoht a prescription[/b] second month on clomid those women, delight hold in brain the following edge consequences of pharmaceutical before you emblem to take it. What Is Clomid? Clomid is the start title for the fertility Clomid clomiphene citrate. It works by Lawrence claimed to be a writer for Folk Roots magazine, but when he got back to Britain he released the set as a live bootleg wituoht her permission. The collection of songs, punctuated with banter and laughter, with grasshoppers chirping loudly in the background, became the surprise hit of 1986. It topped the indie charts, got hours of airplay on Radio 2 and earned Shocked a major label deal, but it didn t make her any less angry. anon That energy was still there as potential energy, you are just releasing it. Total energy by definition includes the rest mass or really IS the total mass in different units thats why we have the equation Emc2 where E is the total energy the object has.
Thermoelectric Generators
A thermoelectric generator produces electricity from differences in thermal energy between two or more areas.
Piezoelectrics
Piezoelectricity is the generation of electricity as a direct result of mechanical deformation.
Electrochemistry
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.
Karen,I don't know if there is or will be a labor shortage or not. I beevlie there is one and it will continue.I do not find your reasoning to be very sound.
