Nuclear Boy
A video that is circulating in Japan to help the children to understand whats happening in the nuclear plant.
Way Funny!

Fossil fuel, Coal, oil and gas are called "fossil fuels" because they have been formed from the organic remains of prehistoric plants and animals. Coal is crushed to a fine dust and burnt.Oil and gas can be burnt directly
Solar power, We've used the Sun for drying clothes and food for thousands of years, but only recently have we been able to use it for generating power.Just the tiny fraction of the Sun's energy that hits the Earth (around a hundredth of a millionth of a percent) is enough to meet all our power needs many times over. Solar cells, Solar Water heating, Solar Furnaces.
Wind power.
| The Sun heats our atmosphere unevenly, so some patches become warmer than others.These warm patches of air rise, other air blows in to replace them - and we feel a wind blowing.We can use the energy in the wind by building a tall tower, with a large propellor on the top.The wind blows the propellor round, which turns a generator to produce electricity. |
Tidal power, the tide moves a huge amount of water twice each day, and harnessing it could provide a great deal of energy - around 20% of Britain's needs.Although the energy supply is reliable and plentiful, converting it into useful electrical power is not easy.
Hydroelectric power, We have used running water as an energy source for thousands of years, mainly to grind corn. Nowadays there are many hydro-electric power stations, providing around 20% of the world's electricity.The name comes from "hydro", the Greek word for water
We drill holes down to the hot region, steam comes up, is purified and used to drive turbines, which drive electric generators.There may be natural "groundwater" in the hot rocks anyway, or we may need to drill more holes and pump water down to them.
Target Audience
My Primary audience is 18 year old and up.
This is people who care about what happen around their environment and are interest to what’s happening in the world how things work and the cause and effects that different events can affect them.
Vocabulary
Nuclear power is the use of sustained nuclear fission to generate heat and do useful work. Nuclear Electric Plants, Nuclear Ships and Submarines use controlled nuclear energy to heat water and produce steam, while in space, nuclear energy decays naturally in a radioisotope thermoelectric generator. Scientists are experimenting with fusion energy for future generation, but these experiments do not currently generate useful energy
Energy (physics) a thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the capacity of a physical system to do work; the units of energy are joules or ergs; "energy can take a wide variety of forms"
Forceful exertion; "he plays tennis with great energy"; "he's full of zip"
Enterprising or ambitious drive; "Europeans often laugh at American energy
A healthy capacity for vigorous activity; "jogging works off my excess energy"; "he seemed full of vim and vigor"
Any source of usable power; "the DOE is responsible for maintaining the energy policy"
Information a message received and understood
Knowledge acquired through study or experience or instruction
Formal accusation of a crime
Data: a collection of facts from which conclusions may be drawn; "statistical data"
Explosion: a violent release of energy caused by a chemical or nuclear reaction
Nuclear: (weapons) deriving destructive energy from the release of atomic energy; "nuclear war"; "nuclear weapons"; "atomic bombs"
Of or relating to or constituting the nucleus of an atom
Of or relating to or constituting the nucleus of an atom
Nuclear refers to any plant or equipment which incorporates the use of substances capable of emitting radiation
A spontaneous nuclear transformation (radioactivity) characterized by the emission of energy and mass from the nucleus of the atom.
Education: knowledge acquired by learning and instruction.
Comics: amusing: arousing or provoking laughter
Plant: buildings for carrying on industrial labor
Cartoons: The word cartoon has various meanings, based on several very different forms of visual art and illustration
Reactor: an electrical device used to introduce reactance into a circuit
Power: supply the force or power for the functioning of..
