Richard Hantula, "Solar Power (Energy Today)"
Chelsea House Publications | 2010 | ISBN: 1604137797 | 48 pages | PDF | 7,9 MB
Along with geothermal energy, solar energy is now one of the least environmentally disruptive sources of power by which electricity is generated today. Sunlight is a free, unlimited resource that hits the Earth with more energy in an hour than the people of the world use in a year. In Solar Power, readers will discover how scientists are trying to harness this power and explore potential developments into the future.

Richard Hantula, "Nuclear Power"
Chelsea House Publications | 2010 | ISBN: 1604137843 | 48 pages | PDF | 3,6 MB
Though nuclear energy provides much more power than fossils fuels like coal, its use is hotly debated because of the potential for radiation seeping into surrounding areas. Still, it is widely used and has developed immensely in recent years. From its development to its environmental impacts, Nuclear Powerdiscusses the positive and negative implications of this hotly debated source of energy.
Contents:
Energy from atoms
Splitting atoms for power
The case for nuclear power
Problems with nuclear power
Prospects and plans.

Barbara J. Davis, "Hydrogen Fuel (Energy Today)"
Chelsea House Publications | 2010 | ISBN: 1604137835 | 48 pages | PDF | 3,5 MB
Because hydrogen fuel gives off water as a byproduct and does not emit any carbon dioxide, many people believe it could one day compete with oil as the major transportation fuel. In Hydrogen Fuel, readers will discover how this simple element can create clean energy, how it is used in the present for space shuttles and fuel cells, and how it may be used in the future.
Contents:
What is hydrogen fuel?
How is hydrogen fuel made?
Hydrogen fuel cells
Challenges in using hydrogen fuels
The future of hydrogen fue

Ocean Energy: Tide and Tidal Power
by Roger H. Charlier, Charles W. Finkl
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 3540779310 | Pages: 262 | PDF | Size: 18,7 MB
Engineers dreams and fossil energy replacement schemes can come true. Man has been tapping the energy of the sea to provide power for his industries for centuries. Tidal energy combined with that of waves and marine winds rank among those most successfully put the work. Large scale plants are capital intensive but smaller ones, particularly built in China, have proven profitable. Since the initiation of the St Malo project in France, similar projects have gone into active service where methods have been devised to cut down on costs, new types of turbines developed and cost competitiveness considerably improved. Tidal power has enormous potential. The book reviews recent progress in extracting power from the ocean, surveys the history of tidal power harnessing and updates a prior publication by the author.
