Energy Sources.

› How its created. Hydrogen and nuclei must be together. The protons form each will tend to deny each other because both have the same positive charge. For example trying to place two magnets together and feel that each of the magnets they both push

each other apart.

› The advantages/disadvantages. Advantages: nuclear fusion reduces a amount of energy that is generated

from fossil fuels for example: coal and oil. Disadvantages: Organizations often use this argument in favor of nuclear

energy but it's a partial truth. Much of the consumption of fossil fuels is due to road transport, used in heat engines.

› Where is it use. Nuclear power stations operate in 31 countries. China has 28 new

reactors under construction, and there are also a considerable number of new reactors being built in South Korea, India, and Russia.

Nuclear Fusion.

Tidal Energy. › How is it created.

tidal energy is produced through the use of tidal energy generators. Large underwater turbines are placed in areas with high tidal movements.

Advantages/Disadvantages.

Advantages: Tidal energy is a renewable energy meaning, this cannot be depleted. Tidal forces got their own origin in the moon and sun’s gravitational reaction.

Disadvantages: Power plants harnessing tidal energy are linked with higher upfront cost required for construction. This therefore displays lack cost-efficiency and effectiveness in the worldwide energy market.

Where is it use.

The tidal power plant at the Rance River estuary in Brittany, France, uses a barrage. It was built in 1966 and is still functioning

Wind Energy› How is it created.

converts kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power

Advantages/Disadvantages.

› Advantages: it’s a clean fuel source.

domestic source of energy.

It's sustainable.

› Disadvantages: Noise Disturbances.

Threat to Wildlife.

Wind Can Never Be Predicted.

India, Germany, France, Spain, United Kingdom, China, Denmark, Italy, Portugal.

› How is it created.

is a reflective surface used to collect or project energy such as light, sound, or radio waves.

Advantages/Disadvantages. › Advantages: High gain.

High directivity.

› Disadvantages: Requires reflector and drive element

Parabolic Reflector

› How is it created.

Converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is a physical and chemical phenomenon.

Advantages/Disadvantages. › Advantages: It is present in abundance.

They have no moving parts and hence require little maintenance and work quite satisfactorily without any focusing device.

› Disadvantages: The entire process of manufacture is still very expensive as silver is used for interconnection of these cells in the panel, which is a very expensive metal.

where is it use.

Germany, Italy, China, USA, Japan, Spain, France, Belgium, Australia, Czech Republic.

Solar Cell

› How is it created.

coal, oil and gas are called ‘fossil fuels’ because they have been formed from organic remains of prehistoric plants and animals.

Advantages/Disadvantages.› Advantages: Easily Available.

Produce Large Amount of Energy. 

High Calorific Value.

› Disadvantages:  Environmental Hazards

Rising Prices

  Acid Rain

Where is it use.Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Andorra, Angola.

Fossil Fuels

› How is it created.

A hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. Hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity.

Advantages/Disadvantages.› Advantages:  Once a dam is constructed, electricity can be produced at a

constant rate. The lake's water can be used for irrigation purposes.

› Disadvantages: Dams are extremely expensive to build and must be built to a very high standard.

The flooding of large areas of land means that the natural environment is destroyed.

Where is it use.China, Canada, Brazil, the United States, and Russia.
