Wind power
True or false
wind power can create power all the time
False wind power can only generate power when the turbine is spinning.
some cons of solar power
May be heavy to transport in bulk size, for each one is 40-50 pounds
They’re very expensive for the amount we’ll need
What is geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is a heat energy that comes from a celestial body.
what is the only byproduct of hydrogen fuel cells
When a hydrogen fuel cell operates, the only emission produced is pure water vapor
True or false
Nuclear power can generate power all day and night
True
as we stated in our slides it is reliable in any weather or time
Is wind power stable
No the dust devils would smash the turbine.
some pros of solar power
Unblocked sun on mars, due to no clouds
It has been used by rovers like Curiosity on Mars, it worked
Needs no chemical reactions
name some cons of Geothermal Power
No geothermal energy on Mars
Takes up alot of space
Makes a lot of noise
Too many materials to make energy
Air and water pollution
Makes a lot of heat
why are they efficient
Despite being lightweight, hydrogen has a very high energy density per unit of weight, making it an efficient fuel source.
the cons of Nuclear power
Cancer risk
Cost
Nuclear waste
Why can't we use wind power
Martin very little winds or air
Makes disorienting sounds
how will solar power must work
Solar power will have to be on top of the ground, and the “colony” is most likely planning to build underground. We will need to figure out how to make some sort of cables between the base and our panels. I have made a map of the ideal layout.
the three Pros of geothermal power
It gives you heat
Good materials that we don’t need
Stable enough to survive dust devils
who discovered the basics of hydrogen fuel cells
The basic principles of hydrogen fuel cells were discovered by Sir William Grove in the 1830s, making it a relatively old technology
how does Nuclear power work
Nuclear power is a form of energy made by the core of an atom constructed by protons and neutrons.
How does wind power create energy
Wind power uses wind and converts it to electrical energy by spinning 2-3 propeller like blades.
how does solar power work
Solar power uses thousands of tiny solar cells that collect the sun’s light and turn it into sparks of electricity. This responds to the internal electrical field, causing electricity to flow.
where did Geothermal energy originate
Geothermal energy originates in the UK
who invented the first hydrogen fuel cell
The first hydrogen fuel cell was created in Wales by Sir William Robert Grove, a Welsh judge and scientist, who developed the concept in 1839, which is often referred to as the "Grove Cell.
who created the first Nuclear power plant
The first nuclear reactor to produce electricity (albeit a trivial amount) was the small Experimental Breeder reactor (EBR-1) designed and operated by Argonne National Laboratory and sited in Idaho, USA. The reactor started up in December 1951.
wild card
who created the first windmill
A child named William Kamkwamba. To power his family's home, young William Kamkwamba built an electricity-producing windmill from spare parts and scrap — starting him on a journey detailed in the book and film "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind."
wild card
who created the first solar panel
Charles Fritts invented solar panels in 1883, the evolution of solar energy has been defined by persistence and innovation.
Wild Card
what is the name of the first rover on mars and what power did it use
The correct answer is Mars Pathfinder's Sojourner Rover. it's power was solar panels and a non-rechargeable lithium-thionyl chloride (LiSOCl2) battery
wild card
what have hydrogen fuel cells been used for and why
Hydrogen fuel cells have been used extensively in space missions due to their high efficiency and clean energy output.
