Power generation by using nano technology

Introduction
The technology which deals with nano particles.
Nanotechnology, the creation and use of materials or devices at extremely small scales. Throughout history, human nature has pushed us to search for new knowledge and information that would lead to the betterment of society.

Importance of nano technology

Things we take for granted today cellular phones, handheld computers, mp3 players were not imagined 10 or 20 years ago. Many new technologies today possess some sort of nano technological device in their system.

HISTORY
From the day to day life the use of nano particles are increasing. But by using these nano particles the power can be generated ? HOUSTON (Nov. 19, 2012) Rice University scientists have unveiled a revolutionary new technology that uses nanoparticles to convert solar energy directly into steam. The new solar steam method from Rices Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP) is so effective it can even produce steam from icy cold water.

BRIEF HISTORY
Birth of Nanotechnology Professor Taniguchi of Tokyo Science University used the word nanotechnology to describe the science and technology of processing or building parts with nanometric tolerances. A nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter.

OPERATION
The efficiency of solar steam is due to the lightcapturing nanoparticles that convert sunlight into heat. When submerged in water and exposed to sunlight, the particles heat up so quickly they instantly vaporize water and create steam. With this technology, we are beginning to think about solar thermal power in a completely different way.

How it can be employed?

It is employed in the sea. The following waves lift the floating structure that is connected to the diaphragm pump, which in turns lifts the sea water into higher levels. The water flows down due to gravity spins the turbine and produce electricity. Coming out of turbine, the water falls into a glass storage container filled with carbon nano particles which quickly Evaporates water when exposed to the sun by direct sun light or using reflectors

 Once the container is full, further water entry is blocked using a valve. The excess water is released into the sea. The vapours are captured through a pipe to generate distilled water for human consumption (Or) by using that steam it can be sent to steam turbine. The steam turbine rotates by the connection to the generator electrical energy is produced as output.

Cheaper per unit energy than coal, oil or natural gas

Will continue to be an important global resource

Power generation produced is more as compared to other techniques

conclusion
We can conclude that using this method, we can generate conventional and eco-friendly electricity using wave power and turbine. water can be desalinated to produce low cost, safe drinking water from the sea water using solar power
