Each human has their own capacity of energy. Each human is able to conduct an amount of energy that they can handle. In the human body, calories is a form of energy that helps us measure how much energy we may have. In the world there are many forms of energies that us humans actually rely on day to day bases. Nuclear energy, Gas energy, Coal energy, Oil energy, and others that are small contributions such as Biomass energy, hydro energy, solar and Geothermal energy. Our transportation consist mostly of energy made up of oil. All of these energies contribute to what is called Greenhouse Gas, which becomes a result of global warming.
Many scientists have argue and try to find methods that will help improve our natural environment. Whether it is the human population using less amounts of the energy that the human population currently relies on. Others have created technologies that with motion will create energy such as turbines. Turbines come in all sort of sizes. You may see turbines that are white, tall with 3 wings constantly turning. As those wings are turning at the same time, energy is being produced.
The technology of the turbines as previously mentioned is similar to what our class project consisted of. During class, me and my classmates were supposed to shake an object with a magnet inside of it. The magnet was in the object with room to move around so that when we shook it for about 60+ times, the magnet would bang on each end and every time it did that, it would transmit energy through to wires that the object was connected to our Lego robot. From our Lego robot, the activity my classmates and I produced, sent the information to our computer screen which showed the frequency of our shakes. The slower the shakes, and the lower amount of shakes produced the lower the frequency became. The higher the amount of shakes, and the faster the shakes the higher the frequency as well.
If you click above (“sci”) you should be able to see a graph that was created based on the numbers that were generated based on the frequency of our shakes. For some reason, our data as shown in the graph is all over the graph. Meaning throughout the activity, something must have happened. I did realize as me and my peers did the activity, one of us shook the object a lot slower than the other two classmates. Our graph consists of the sum of scares which were computed 5 times. Three times were conducted by me, the other two were conducted between my other two peers. The horizontal side of the graph was the amount of shakes each trial was.
This is a picture of the materials we used throughout the experiment.
