Introduction

A wind turbine is a device that uses the kinetic energy derived from wind to create mechanical energy. This simply means the wind’s force pushes the blade into motion. Different wind turbines have different ways of extracting wind energy like most machines. Aerodynamics, on the other hand, simply refers to the flow of air about a body. This makes aerodynamics to be a critical aspect of wind turbines as this flow of air about the turbines is what determines its power output. This paper focuses on the aerodynamic behavior of wind turbines (Hansen 21).

Theory

A magnetic field refers to magnetic control of electric currents and the magnetic materials, specified by both direction and strength. It results from moving electric charges and the magnetic moments of elementary particles related with their spin. It can also be defined as its force exerted on a charged particle in motion. Magnetic field lines normally form in concentric circles around a current currying conductor cylindrical in nature for example a length of wire. The strength of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the length of the wire or the distance for an infinite length.

Biot–Savart law describes the magnetic field generated by a steady current, I to be equivalent to;

Introduction to antennas

Traditionally, people had problem with communication especially where it involved long distances. Wireless communication began in 1901, when Marconi received the first radio signal across the Atlantic Ocean. From that period, technology kept on advancing until the development of the present day antennas. Antennas form the basic components of any communication system that changes energy from one form into another. A receiving antenna changes electromagnetic energy into electric or magnetic energy. They work through transmitting RF signal that travels on a conductor into an electromagnetic wave in free space. An antenna maintains the same characteristic regardless of whether in Continue reading...

Abstract

In an ecosystem, the existence of any species of animals or plants solely depends on the capability to adapt to its environment. This is true because, those species which are poorly adapted become extinct. For example, trees that could not adapt to harsh conditions of the desert were eliminated and those species that were well adapted were spared. This is basically what is called natural selection (Jeff et al 9). Similarly, those animal species that could not adapt to any given environmental conditions of an ecosystem were easily eliminated out of existence.
Human being, on the other hand, changes Continue reading...

All matter contains one form of energy or another. Matter by definition is anything that occupies space and has weight (Nave, 2012). According to Nave, all matter, when subjected to act by an external force changes from one form of energy to another. Kinetic energy is defined as the energy possessed by a body in motion (Nave). A body is termed as having potential energy by virtue of its motion (Niemi, 2000; Marjanovic & Milkovic, 2010; Jones, 2012).

- Introduction
While humanoid robots are often thought of as robots that look and move exactly like people, this is not necessarily the case. The idea of a humanoid robot includes robots that are completely identical to people, of course, but also encompass any type of robot that has a vaguely humanoid shape. These robots are made to have a body shape that looks like a human body.
There is something psychologically enthralling about robots that share humanoid body shapes; they interest human beings and can form bonds with them. Although current-day robotics are not good enough to create Continue reading...

Wind is a major limiting factor in the marine ecosystem. Wind affects waves, dune system, sediment transportation, currents, and weather. Wind has profound effects on the waves. As wind move over the surface of the oceans, the abrasions between the wind and the water surfaces lead to formation of waves. The speed of wind also affects the size of the waves formed. When the speed of the wind is very high, the abrasion between the wind and the surface of the water increases leading to huge waves. In the event that the speed of the wind is low, the Continue reading...
