Solar flare

Solar Flare can be described as huge increases of brightness of the sun once in a particular time period. It seems every 11 years sun reaches its maximum activity they become more bigger and more common, and that increases the chance  that one will significantly affect affect earth, therefore a Solar flare is basically is an explosion on the surface of the sun. The time period of that explosions can be vary from minutes to hours in length. It produces huge amount of energy which can power to the whole United States for millions of years. Solar Flares are being done so far away from the Earth. but they can affect on the space gadgets such as satellites etc: and also the ground based technologies as power units etc:.

 Lets check how the Solar Flare happened?.

Actually this happen due to the powerful magnetic fields in and around the sun reconnect. They're usually associated with the active regions of the sun and they are called as Suns spot. The magnetic field of the sun spot are the strongest. The magnetic energy of the sun is stored throughout the sun's atmosphere and when it is suddenly released, then the solar flare is happened,(which occurs when magnetic field lines from sunspots tangle and erupt) the amount of energy released is equivalent to the millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time.Solar flare is more extended and it beyond the the layer of the sun which is known as the corona. The corona is the outermost atmosphere of the sun which is included with highly rarefied gases.(This gas normally has a temperature of a few million degrees Kelvin).The temperature of the inside of the flare is about 10 to 20 million of degrees Kelvin and it can increase up to 100 millions of degree Kelvin. The solar flares can be classified according to there strength.
  • Smallest one know as : B class
  • C class
  • M class
  • Strongest one known as : X class
( Similar to the Richter scale for earthquakes, each letter represents the 10 fold increases in energy output.)

According to some articles, The sun flare is classified in to three main stages which are mentioned as below.This classification is done according to the intensive variation of the brightness when it built up magnetic energy in the Sun's atmosphere.
  1. Precursor stage : In this stage the sun is emitting soft X rays    
  2. Impulsive stage : In this stage it seems the emission of the energies exceeds  1Mev and Radio waves, hard X-rays and may be Gamma rays as well.
  3. Decay stage       : In this stage the decay of soft X rays can be detected.
Some other characteristics and impacts of the solar flare can be seen through this picture appeared below and go through it and get the point.
 

History of the Solar Flares

According to the records, the most power full solar flare was recorded in 2003, during the last solar maximum.(how it was power full is it is cannot be measured ). Somehow it was estimated as X17 and it was the maximum cut out of the solar flare to be measured, then later it is estimated again as the strength of the solar flare was about X45. Due to solar flares like this, those are highly affect on the transmission of the Earth and the all other satellites and ground based equipments.

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...

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...

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...
