All full-power TV stations were required to stop broadcasting in analog signals in June 2009, replaced by digital signals. Digital signals are more efficient, freeing up airwaves and providing clearer pictures. Congress created a TV Converter Box coupon program to help the poorest individuals. Analog TVs now require converter boxes unless connected to cable or […]
Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) uses the temperature difference of the ocean at various depths to create a heat engine, converting thermal energy into mechanical output. The first energy conversion ocean thermal plant was built in Cuba in 1930. There are three types of OTEC systems: closed, open, and hybrid. Closed-loop systems use a low […]
