How Does The Fan Work?

The Fan is an electronic device that everybody use it in their house. People use the fan to make the
air in the room cooler, especially in hot day. And how does the fan work?
An electric fan is an electric motor with some fan blades attached to its rotating shaft. As the motor
spins, the fan blades rotate. Each blade is angled a bit, and as the inclined plane of the blade moves
through the air, it forces the air ahead of it forward. Each blade does this on a continuous basis, and
the result is a moving air stream. The fan is taking air from the area behind itself and blowing it out
the front.
The fan generates a movement of air, causing the warm dense air to descend, and the cool dense air
to rise, thus creating a feeling of coolness in the air.

How

Does

Rain

Happen?

Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable
conditions for diverse ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and
crop irrigation.
The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of the water cycle
involves the sun heating the Earth's surface water and causing the surface water to
evaporate. The water vapor rises into the Earth's atmosphere. The water in the
atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until they are
heavy and fall to the earth as precipitation which can be in the form of rain or snow.
However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some evaporates while falling through dry air.
This is called virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.

Why Eiffel Tower was Built

If we talk about the Wonders of the World buildings, then we will see Eiffel Tower as one of
them. However many of us do not know the towers past history on why it was build. Everything
has the reasonable background, especially for the tower which is to be one of the most
recognized buildings in the world.
Primarily, the Eiffel Tower was built for the World Exhibition. It was called Paris Exposition in
1889. The exhibition was organized to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
The purpose of building Eiffel Tower in such structure was to show to the world Frances
advancement of technology and beauty. The Eiffel Tower was designed by Gustave Eiffel. It
seemed that then the name of the tower was derived from the designers last name, Eiffel
Another reason on why the tower was built was for scientific progress. Although few realized it,
the Eiffel Tower would become the prominent structure in terms of science and technology.
Many experiment with temperature, pressure and pendulums were performed atop the unique
famous building. Additionally the Eiffel Tower was used for radio transmission tower. Many
experiments were conducted atop the Eiffel Tower for radio transmission advancement. Once
the Eiffel Tower was proposed to be demolished but it was spared because the tower had the
promising future as a radio tower.

How Is A Kite Flying?

A kite is an object which is made from a light material stretched over a frame. Due to its light
material a kite will lift off the ground and fly when it is tilted into the wind.
A kite is uses wind to make it fly because it is heavier than air. When wind travels over the
surface of the kite, it is split into two streams of air. One stream of the air goes over the kite
while the second stream goes under the kite.
The upper stream creates an area of low pressure above the kite. The lower stream hits the kite
at a shallow angle and creates an area of high pressure.
The high pressure area has a pushing effect while the low pressure area has a pulling effect. The
combination of push and pull can creates enough force to lift the kite into the air.
Kites have been known for thousand of years. They are used for military or scientific purposes.
Todays kites are much used for leisure and competition.

Why Summer Daylight is Longer than Winter Daylight

In the summer, the amount of daylight that we get is more than we get in winter. This is
not because as much people think we are closer to the sun but because of the tilt of the
earth.
The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter than it is in summer but you would be
forgiven for thinking that this can not be true after looking out of your window on a cold
and
frosty
morning.

It seems strange that as the earth get closer to the sun during its orbit then the amount
of daylight that we get decrease. But that is the case. It is the tilt of the earth that
determine the amount of daylight that we get and so the length of time that for us the
sun is above the horizon.

How Chocolate is Made

Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we will enter the amazing world of chocolate
so we can understand exactly we are eating.
Chocolate starts a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in place such as
South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. In
side the fruits are the tree's seeds. They are also known as coco beans.
Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that they are shipped to the
chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans
from different places have different qualities and flavour. So they are often shorted and blended to produce a
distinctive mix.
The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the meat nib of the cacao bean
from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called
chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter.
All seeds contain some amount of fat and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat,
which is why the ground nibs from liquid. It is pure bitter chocolate.

How Cell Phone Work

A cell phone is a great gadget in this modern world. What is a cell phone? A cell phone is actually a radio in
certain way. Like a radio, by a cell phone we can communicate to other people in real time. Million people
use cell phone for their communication. Even nowadays, people use cell phones to communicate in voice,
written and data. Alexander Graham Bell is the person who make great change in the way people
communicate to each other. He invented a telephone in 1876. While wireless radio was formally known in
18994 presented by Guglielmo Marconi. By these two technologies, then a cell phone was born. However do
you know how actually cell phones work?
This short explanation on how a cell phone work is really wonderful. A cell phone or in long term "cellular
telephone' works by transmitting signals of radio to towers of cellular. The towers are networked to a central
switching station. The connection usually uses wire, fiber optic-cables, or microwave.
Then the central switching station which handles calls in certain given area is directed connected to the wirebased telephone system. Cellulars are pick up by the towers and relayed to another cellular telephone user
or the user of wire-based telephone network.
the towers vary in the capacity and capability to receive signals. Some can receive the signal from short
distance and the others can receive more distance. However, there are usually more than one tower in
certain given area so that the system can handle the increasing telephone traffic.

How Earthquakes Happen

Earthquake is one of the most destroying natural disasters. Unluckily it often happens in several regions.
Recently a horrible earthquake has shaken West Sumatra. It has brought great damages. Why did it occur?

Do you know how an earthquake happens?

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release
of energy causes the seismic waves. It make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are
rubbing against each other, they stick a little. They don't just slide smoothly. The rocks are still pushing
against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up.
When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.
During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving, and they continue to move
until they get stuck again. The spot underground where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake.
The place right above the focus is called the epicenter of the earthquake.

e effects of acid soil

Soils with a pH of less than 7.0 are acid. The lower the pH, the more acid the soil. When soil pH falls below
5.5, plant growth is affected. Crop yields decrease, reducing productivity
Soils provide water and nutrients for plant growth and development. Essential plant nutrients include
phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium and sulfur. Plants require other elements such as molybdenum, in smaller
quantities. Some elements eg aluminium and manganese, are toxic to plants.
Nutrients become available to plants when they are dissolved in water. Plants are able to take up phosphate,
nitrate, potassium and sulfate ions in solution.
The solubility of nitients changes with pH. In acid soils (low pH), molybdenum becomes less soluble and
aluminium becomes more soluble. Therefore, plant growth may be affected by either a deficiency of
molybdenum or too much aluminium.
Both crop and pasture plants are affected by acid soils. there may be a range of symptoms. Crops and
pastures may be poorly established resulting in patchy and uneven growth. Plant leaves may go yellow and
die at the tips. The root system of the plant may be stunted. Crops may yield less.
Plants vary in their sensitivity to low pH. Canola and lucerne are very sensitive to acid soils so do not grow
well. Lupins and triticale are tolerant to soils of low pH so they still perform well.
Land can become unproductive if acid soil is left untreated. Incorporating lime into the soil raises the pH.
Therefore, liming soil can reverse the effects of acid soil on plants and return a paddock to productivity.

How Venus Eclipse Happens

On May 16, 2010, people in most regions in the world have seen a very rare natural phenomenon. It was
Venus eclipse. It was very rare amazing natural event. It was reported that the Venus eclipse will seen again
in the future in 2050. Do you know how this rare Venus eclipse happens?

Well, actually Venus eclipse is like Sun eclipse. Venus eclipses occurs when the position of the earth, moon
and Venus is parallel. Venus planet will slowly disappear for a moment because it is covered the surface of
the Moon. Venus planet seems to move to the back side of the Moon.
The moon and planets are sharing a similar apparent path in the sky. That is why, it is not unusual for the
moon to appear to pass close to Venus. In fact, the moon appears somewhere near it about once a month.
However, most people dont see these events because they are visible in the evening sky only half the time,
and then only for a short period after sunset. The apparent closeness varies from month to month as well.
