Urban Lifestyle

The changes in the earth’s axis and orbit have a direct effect on how much sunlight the planet earth gets. This slow process takes about hundreds or even thousands of years.

It is possible to say that the sun is the source of all energy. The greater the sun’s intensity is, a lot more sunspots appear which makes the sun brighter. Could you think that the increasing heat lately is not caused by the sun’s rays but the earth’s atmosphere? Scientists in Germany reported there is absolutely no tremendous difference in the sun’s brightness compared to the last 3 decades.

Anything emitted in the atmosphere may have a direct influence on the environment’s temperature. Volcanic eruptions can spew particles into the atmosphere that can drop temperatures and the effect may last for about two years.

Water evaporation and clouds can also have an impact. The more clouds that are concentratedinto the atmosphere, the greater heat will be trapped therefore increasing the temperature.

The increased heat can cause icy glaciers to melt and much more water vapor is evaporated in the air. Thisgreenhouse effect causes the earth to become warmer.

Is CO2 the reason for the greenhouse effect?

There are a number of scientists that agree that nature is not to be blamed for the sudden increase in temperature for the last thirty to forty years.The conclusion is the fact that, the rise in the emissions of CO2 has a direct impact how the temperature rises.

What can we do to handle the greenhouse effect?

This is my steampunk record player. Details available here:

http://www.asciimation.co.nz/bb/2010/11/30/a-steam-punk-record-player

This is a small steam engine I made, mainly from bits of junk around my garage, playing a Sex Pistols punk LP. The engine speed is controlled by a throttle being driven from a servo controlled by an Arduino. The RPMs are measured by a coil detecting the passing of six magnets in the edge of the platter and the approximate revs are displayed on an analogue meter. I am using the PID controller library to do the work out how to control the servo based on the input speed. The safety valve is making the whistling noise at the start as steam pressure is built up. A small flick of the platter will start the engine and then the Arduino takes over trying to maintain 33 1/3 RPM. At the end the meths burner runs out of fuel so the steam pressure, and therefore the speed, drops. You can see the Arduino trying to throttle up to maintain the speed right at the end.
