My paper on Parametric Study of Cantilever Plates Exposed to Supersonic and Hypersonic Flows is finally published by IoP science.
There is some ambiguity in some values in pictures due to formatting, so an alternate version with a little more clarity is provided below.
For more details, follow here.
This is a presentation for Environmental science subject.
To understand the topic as complex as Jadugoda, a basic understanding of what is radiation, how it effects humans and surroundings, how much is harmful, etc are dealt with. Limits of radiation, basic mechanism in which radiation affects the body, and background radiation are touched upon in the below study.
Using this background, a literature survey on radiation levels and general health at Jadugoda was carried out, and popular myths are dispelled.
It contains three parts.
1. Need for Nuclear power and mining in India
2. Effects of Radiation, Background radiation, measuring radiation and radiation limits, etc
I dont think energy produced from Piezo electric stairs, or roads etc would be efficient or economical, as we will be simply converting energy taken from consuming food.
You can visualize it in a larger scale. In a scaled up model, a pieso electric plate is like a trampoline(the working).
Now what will happen if I asked you to walk on a trampoline?
You will certainly need more energy to walk on a trampoline than on a normal ground.
Some extra energy is used to stretch the trampoline, from which I can generate electricity. This same principle is used in pieso electric materials, only in a nano scale.
So where is the extra energy coming from?
The food we eat. The food we eat goes through two processes, first through our own body(where it gets burnt up) and then through the piesoelectric material. Instead you can simply burn the food, and generate more electricity directly, which is more efficient.
So as a summary, you are just changing energy from food produced by farmers, in a very inefficient way, and in a micro level personally(and macro level in total), by investing extra money.
Edit: I would like some expert to advise on this post.
