On a per person basis, we do not use more energy now than in in the late 60's due to the advancement of energy saving appliances etc. However, as a whole we use much more energy and the demand is growing at an alarming rate.

Other countries such as China and India where the economy is booming are now competing with us for energy as well. The drastic increase in demand on a global level will contribute to a rapid and steady rate increase as 80% of our energy comes from fossil fuels and other limited resources.

Who invented the first nuclear reactor in India?

The nuclear reactor wasn't invented in India. Nuclear power was being researched in England, Germany, Austria, Russia and the USA during the 1930s and 1940s. Idaho was the location of the first electricity generation using a nuclear reactor in 1951 with Russia operating the first to supply electricity to a grid. India's entry to nuclear power generation followed many years after the intial development work has been completed.


What is a power pile generator?

A power pile generator, often referred to as a thermoelectric generator, is a device that converts temperature differences directly into electrical energy using the Seebeck effect. These generators are typically used in applications where heat waste can be harnessed, such as in industrial processes or remote power generation. By utilizing materials that exhibit thermoelectric properties, power pile generators can provide a reliable and efficient source of electricity without moving parts.

The different between tidal power and wind power generation?

Tidal power generates electricity using the movement of ocean tides, usually through underwater turbines. Wind power generates electricity using the kinetic energy from wind, typically through wind turbines on land or offshore. Both are renewable sources of energy but rely on different natural phenomena for generation.
