Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) was conceived of by the French engineer Jacques D'Arsonval in 1881. However, at the time of this writing the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii is home to the only operating experimental OTEC plant on the face of the earth. OTEC is a potential alternative energy source that needs to be funded and explored muc...
Many researchers believe that harnessing the power of the atom in fission reactions is the most significant alternative energy resource that we have, for the fact of the immense power that it can generate.
Nuclear power plants are very “clean-burning” and their efficiency is rather staggering. Nuclear power is generated at 80% efficiency, me...

The omni directional antenna is an antenna system that radiates power uniformly in all directions. The only 3 dimensional omni directional antenna is the isotropic antenna, a hypothetical construct derived from actual antenna radiation patterns and used as a suggestion for specifying antenna gain and radio system effective radiated power. Practical...
