Shahed Hossen1, Md. Tazul Islam2,* and Sabir Hossain3 1-3Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, CUET, Bangladesh [email protected],2,*[email protected],[email protected] Abstract- In recent times due to effects of pollution and global warming there is a need for generating power from renewable sources. The reason for generating power using gravity is that it is available all over the Earth, abundant and consistent too. In this project, the gravitational energy of a heavy particle is converted to the electrical energy. When the heavy particle falls down from a higher altitude to a lower one, its potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy. Then this energy is converted to electricity by using a synchronous motor. With the increasing of the altitude of the load, the lighting time increases. If load increases, power production also increases, but the lighting time decreases.

  • White Light Emission from Fluorescent Sic with Porous Surface
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN White Light Emission from Fluorescent SiC with Porous Surface Weifang Lu1, Yiyu Ou 1, Elisabetta Maria Fiordaliso2, Yoshimi Iwasa3, Valdas Jokubavicius4, Mikael Syväjärvi4, Satoshi Kamiyama3, Paul Michael Petersen1 & Haiyan Ou1 Received: 24 May 2017 We report for the frst time a NUV light to white light conversion in a N-B co-doped 6H-SiC (fuorescent Accepted: 14 August 2017 SiC) layer containing a hybrid structure. The surface of fuorescent SiC sample contains porous Published: xx xx xxxx structures fabricated by anodic oxidation method. After passivation by 20 nm thick Al2O3, the photoluminescence intensity from the porous layer was signifcant enhanced by a factor of more than 12. Using a porous layer of moderate thickness (~10 µm), high-quality white light emission was realized by combining the independent emissions of blue-green emission from the porous layer and yellow emission from the bulk fuorescent SiC layer. A high color rendering index of 81.1 has been achieved. Photoluminescence spectra in porous layers fabricated in both commercial n-type and lab grown N-B co-doped 6H-SiC show two emission peaks centered approximately at 460 nm and 530 nm. Such blue- green emission phenomenon can be attributed to neutral oxygen vacancies and interface C-related surface defects generated dring anodic oxidation process. Porous fuorescent SiC can ofer a great fexibility in color rendering by changing the thickness of porous layer and bulk fuorescent layer. Such a novel approach opens a new perspective for the development of high performance and rare-earth element free white light emitting materials.

In May of this year, we submitted comments with three additional cosigners on DOE’s GSL NOPR. Summary The NOPDDA proposes to cover as general service incandescent lamps (GSILs) eight lamp types currently exempted from the definition of general service lamps. By bringing these products into scope, DOE would eliminate a significant danger of these exempt lamp types becoming substitutes for traditional incandescent lamps and being widely used for general illumination. We believe that the GSL standards Final Rule would be further strengthened by including additional currently exempted lamps under the definition of GSILs as discussed below. We strongly support coverage of all reflector lamps as GSILs. Hundreds of millions of IRLs and non-IRL reflectors are sold each year. More efficient alternatives are already widely available at affordable prices.

    The association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers www.nema.org National Electrical Manufacturers Association September 10, 2020 Legislative Counsel Bureau Attn: Ms. Brenda Erdoes, Legislative Counsel Legislative Building – Legal Division 401 S. Carson Street Carson City, NV 89701 Via email to [email protected] Re: LCB File No. R100-19, Nevada’s General Service Lamp Rulemaking Dear Ms. Erdoes: On behalf of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (“NEMA”), I write to request that you exercise your authority to prevent finalization of a proposed rule involving “general service lamps” that violates federal law, violates the Nevada Administrative Code, and would harm Nevada businesses and citizens. Summary In the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (“EPCA”) and its amendments, 42 U.S.C. § 6291 et seq., Congress enacted a comprehensive set of energy-efficiency standards and a process for the Department of Energy (“DOE”) to create new standards and amend existing standards. And because Congress was concerned that a patchwork set of state-level energy standards would harm manufacturers as well as retailers and consumers, it included in EPCA a broad preemption provision displacing state energy-conservation regulations “concerning” products that EPCA covers. EPCA covers several lighting products, including a class of light bulbs known as “general service lamps” (the standard size light bulb found in most home light sockets, which can include incandescent, halogen, compact fluorescent, and LED technologies). The regulation proposed by the Governor’s Office of Energy, N.R.S. § 701.260, (“Nevada GSL rule”) seeks to define general service lamps differently than federal law and would prohibit sales of such lamps after January 1, 2021, that do not satisfy an energy efficiency standard of 45 lumens-per-watt.
