What improvments in coal mining were brought about by new technology from 1830-1930?
lighting,wire ropes,winding gear,pumps,moving coal,cutting coal
What kind of technology is used to gather coal?
REALLY BIG shovels and trucks
How do we harness coal?
Coal is harnessed primarily through mining, where it is extracted from the earth using surface or underground methods. Once extracted, coal is transported to power plants where it is burned to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. Additionally, coal can be processed into various forms, such as coke for steel production or gasified for synthetic fuels, enhancing its utility in different industrial applications. Proper management and technology are essential to minimize environmental impacts associated with coal use.
Which energy source received the most federal funding from 1974 to 2005 for research and development?
coal and technology
What type of fuel did a steamboat use?
Steamboats primarily used wood or coal as fuel. Early steamboats, especially in the 19th century, relied heavily on wood, which was readily available along rivers. As technology advanced and coal became more accessible, many steamboats switched to coal for its higher energy content and efficiency.
Is coal environmentally friendly or not?
No, coal is not environmentally friendly. Gathering it requires mining with machinery and burning coal produces many pollutants. Eventually, coal will run out. Solar energy is a good alternative since it is free and will not run out.
Which is the least sustainable practice?
Using coal to generate electricity. (APEX)
How important is it to use clean coal technology?
It is very important to use clean coal technology. The pollutants from burning coal causes health problems as well as environmental problems. The clean coal technology cuts back on these pollutants and provides a cheap form of energy.

Do you alter coal to use it?
When you burn coal you are using it not altering it.
What are the risks involved in coal mining?
Damage to the lungs from coal dust. Entrapment or death from cave-ins.
Does new technology rely on coal?
Yes. Cars do for gas

How can clean coal technology be done?
-crushing the coal into small chunks and washing out the sulfur dioxide. -burn the coal, reducing the NOx. this is called 'staged combustion'. -using a 'fluidized bed boiler', realising the sulfur dioxide, then the limestone captures the sulfur and changes it into calcium sulfate. hope this helps...its just a rough draft of how clean coal tech can be done though.
How was coal extracted from the earth?
Coal is extracted in two methods. One is by digging tunnels into the earth and following the vein of coal, removing it by rail cart. The other is strip mining where they remove the earth above the coal and dig down to it. This way usually involves the removal of entire mountain tops to get at the coal. Recently however they have started to replant the vegetation when they are done to reclaim the land back to a natural state.
