Renewable energy generators are devices that convert energy from its original form in the renewable energy source into electricity. Renewable energy generators that are most likely to be found in hybrid energy systems include wind turbines and photovoltaic panels. Some hybrid energy systems use hydroelectric generators, biomass fueled generators, or fuel cells. It should be noted that many renewable energy generators include rotating electrical machines acting in the generating mode, which is also called a generator. It should be clear from the context what is meant. (more…)

High-speed maglev technology offers four main advantages: non-contact operation; low-mass vehicles (on a per seat basis, maglev vehicles weigh approximately one-third to three-quarters as much as high speed trains); high speed; and wayside system control and self-propelled vehicles (each car contains its own secondary part of a linear synchronous motors).
Non-contact operation means that vehicle traction does not depend on adhesion between contact surfaces, e.g., wheels and rails. (more…)

Nuclear power plants have many different designs and shapes. Early technology restrictions in nuclear power plants make huge plants with the capability to produce the greatest amount of power possible. But with more recent technology, nuclear plants size are smaller , making them less costly and easier to build. But despite their many technical and engineering differences, nuclear reactors come in two basic types: pressurized water reactor systems and boiling water reactor systems. (more…)
