GEO THERMAL ENERGY-POWER FROM THE DEPTHS

Hot water springs are the best examples of the Geo thermal energy.To produce electric power from geo thermal resources, underground reservoirs of steam or hot water are tapped by wells and the steam rotates turbines that generate electricity.Geothermal electric plants have until recently been built exclusively on the edges of tectonic plates where high temperature geothermal resources are available near the surface.The development of binary cycle power plants and improvements in drilling and extraction technology may enable enhanced geothermal systems over much a greater geographical range.The interactive model of geothermal energy in Energy Park explores the use of this energy from the depth of earth.

SOLAR HOUSE

Recent advances in technology have made use of solar energy easy and cheap. In both forms, thermal and electrical form. Here, in this solar Hut, right from kitchen tap to T. V. and refrigerator all are run on solar energy. Series of batteries store electrical energy generated by panel of PV cells at the roof top is very well showcased here.

AQUA MOBILE

Historically Water wheels and watermills have been used to extract power from flowing water and convert it into mechanical power for turning grinding stones and other machinery. Although Water wheels have now out of use across the world, they are still put into use in some remote areas. Hydropower or water power is power which derived from the force or energy of moving water, which may be harnessed for useful purposes. Prior to the widespread availability of commercial electric power, hydropower was used for irrigation and operation of various machines, such as water mills, textile machines, sawmills, dock cranes and domestic lifts. Here you can convert the kinetic energy of water in to mechanical energy and observe how it works.

HOUSE OF POLYMERS

Crude oil or the black gold is not just a fuel which we use as Diesel, Petrol, or Kerosene. The crude oil, greenish-black sticky liquid, is refined in refinery. Besides fuels we get number of other products which make our world more versatile. This is because petroleum is also a raw material for over half a million organic chemicals. They are known as petrochemicals. In this petro-house everything is made of petrochemicals.

OIL AND GAS DRILLING RIGS AND FLOW CONTROL EQUIPMENT

This is a typical structure of a rig.On Shore Petroleum Drill Rig is a typical structure of a rig used for drilling oil and gas on land. It is only after drilling a well it is found whether there is oil or gas or both or nothing. Despite all scientific advancement finding oil and gas from a well is not always certain. Off Shore Petroleum Drill Rig almost one third of oil and gas in the world is found in sea. Drilling for Oil and Gas in River basin or Sea is called “Off shore drilling “. Offshore drilling is a more complex activity. In Off shore drilling the system is mounted on a floating platform.Christmas tree we drill well for Oil and Gas on land and in sea, Once the well is drilled and oil or gas is found, the problem is to monitor and regulate the flow of oil and gas. In order to prevent the oil and gas from gushing out staging a blow out a tube is lowered into the well. On the head of the well is an assembly of valves and pipes known as “ Christmas Tree “.

AUTOMATIC WEATHER STATIONS (AWS)

Automatic weather stations work by using various sensors to continuously measure meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, rainfall, wind speed, and direction. These sensors are connected to a data logger that collects and stores the measurements. The AWS may also include additional sensors for measuring rainfall, solar radiation, and other environmental factors. The data logger processes the collected information and can either store it locally or transmit it remotely via satellite, radio, or cellular networks to a central database or weather service. This real-time data is then used for weather forecasting, climate monitoring, research purposes, and other applications.

WIND MILL PUMP

A windmill pump is a mechanical device that uses wind to pump water from wells, ponds, and bore wells.Windmills are often used for drinking water, irrigation, salt farming, and fish farming.They are especially useful in remote locations where mains power is not available.Here the rotating blades of the windmill give vertical movement to the rod.This rod acts like the rod of hand pump and lifts water from the tank.It can be used for any purpose.Right from water for irrigation to pumping water for other uses.

WIND TURBINE

Here the rotating blades of the windmill generate electricity through the rotary motion of the generator. This generator is fitted at the top of the mill near the blades. The electricity passes to the control house. Here in this model, series of electric bulbs glow whenever there is windmill generated electricity. An array of such windmills is a wind farm, which produces electricity in large quantity. This electricity can be taken to considerable distances.
