Green Potato isn't GOOD??

Greening potatoes is a completely a natural process. When potatoes expose to light it stimulates producing Chlorophyll. It seems green pigments. In this case yellow or brown potatoes turn in to green color. Chlorophyll do photosynthesis and produce carbon and oxygen from H2O and CO2 with sunlight.


      Greening is an indicator of producing some undesirable and harmful material called Solanine. It helps to protect potatoes from insects, bacteria but it's toxins to human. Normal potatoes cover has less solanine and it's plant has much high level of Solanine. Chlorophyll is a good indicator for solanine but it is not saying about exact measurement.

               Some high green colored potatoes can have less solanine too. The impact of solanine on human depends on tolerance and body size of the human.(Average 2mg/KG starts indicating symptoms).
           
          Low effects from them is vomiting, sweating headaches, etc: extreme effects are paralysis and convulsions.

Peeling potatoes can remove 30% of Solanine but 70% of Solanine is rest. Boiling or any cooking methods not remove Solanine. It very green or tastes bitter, they should be thrown away. Damaged potatoes easily expose to the light and converts to green. And also refrigerator temperature increased Solanine.

Fuel Cell and How It Works?

Fuel Cell  vehicle(when considered only the vehicle) has become the most greenest vehicle in the world today due to none pollution and the none exhausting gases like Carbon base, it exhausts only pure water. Among the fuel cell Cars the Hydrogen related car are the most popular once by today. Fuel cell is a Cell that is producing electric current because of the chemical reaction. That is a simple definition. But fuel cell has a more complex process to produce electricity.On the other way, this fuel is converting the chemical energy of the fuel in to electrical energy.Therefore we call these a electrochemical cells. This process can be done as long as the oxygen is supplied. Now we can do a discuss with this Picture 01 given below. Fuel cell is a continuous battery. As I told you the energy is generated as long as the fuel and oxygen is supplied, in the most of cases the Hydrogen will be used as the fuel.The chemical reaction which is done in this is between the Hydro...

Wind energy better than Solar energy ?

Wind energy producing process Wind turbines can be classified into two types according to the axis, one type is called Horizontal axis wind turbines and other is Vertical axis wind turbine. Horizontal  type is the major type that comes to our mind when we imagine a wind turbine. It has an horizontal axis which is parallel to the ground, and it is connected with blades ( mostly three blades). When the wind blowing towards the blades the blades are moving and the all blades are join together by the rotor and the Rotor coupled with the shaft and there are two shafts one is low speed shaft and other is hight speed shaft these shafts are connected or coupled by gears. Eventually these high speed shaft coupled with the generator which generates Electricity. This type is the most commercialized wind turbine due to high efficiency. The other type is known as vertical axis, and it is less complex and also cheap as same as lower efficiency, therefore it is not much commercializ...

Solar Wind

Solar Wind is an energized stream which includes of charged particles , such as Electrons and Protons. Those particles are the most consisted in solar wind. But it includes alpha as well. When we are go into this topic " Solar Wind" , we have a doubt how its generated? Solar wind is Massive injection of those particles mentioned above. The main reason for the solar wind is the reaction which are occurred in the Sun's Core. Because of this reactions , charged particles are generated and they starting to move here and there with high(extreme) velocities. Due to this, those charged particles are reached to the outer boundary of the sun and then they are become free charged particles which have no more bound by the Sun's Gravity. Then they Escaped from the Sun's gravity and move like a stream What we call Solar Wind.And also travel as far as distance. Lets go and check more further what is solar wind......?? Sun extremely contains a gaseous body and a...
