Joules – Why is energy is measured in joules?
I'm doing some homework science and the need to prepare a report for funds a millionaire with an interest in alternative lifestyles. The report must include ways of using renewable energy, what types are available, different ways that you can get and that is more sustainable for the long-term use. The report is to convince a person that an island of 500 homes could enjoy a fairly good life to be able to generate electricity, and basic needs of heat and light.
Energy used to measure calories. Were convenient because 1 calorie of heat 1 gram of water by 1C. (Note that the calorie of food energy used is actually a kilocalorie) with the Agency International System of Units (SI) most units (except for mass and length) would be the name of noted scientists. The power unit is became the Joule, but this amounted to 4.2 awkwardly joules = 1calorie. Your project does not seem to require this knowledge however. A small island in the United Kingdom through ideally placed to make use of the wave (tides) and wind energy. The wave energy is more difficult to use, requiring barriers launch, which tend to be expensive to build. Wind energy is most direct and cost effectiveusing the windmill (wind turbine – but these are ugly. Both are sustainable over a long period and give you more or less energy 24 / 7 depending on where the island – north west of Scotland would be appropriate). If the the island is tropical, then the minimum solar energy sources increasingly viable, both for heating water (relatively cheap and effective) and to produce energy electricity through a set of solar cells – very expensive). Using waste to produce bioenergy (methane gas) is also a propostion for production heat and reducing pollution and land fill.
