The World's Largest Solar Energy Power Plant
Shiny: By concentrating heat from direct sunlight onto oil-filled pipes, Shams 1 produces steam, which drives a turbine to generate electricity.
Production : The 100-megawatt solar-thermal project in Abu Dhabi will power thousands of homes in the country and, it is hoped, displace approximately 175,000 tons of CO2 per year.
Powerful: the solar project uses a booster to heat steam as it enters the turbine to dramatically increase the cycle's efficiency.
Harvesting the power of light: In the sweltering heat of the Arabian sun, Shams 1 generates electricity to power 20,000 homes in the UAE.
Useful: Because power is generated during peak demand the Shams 1 reduce the need for 'peak shaving' generators, which are expensive and idle most of the year
Cooling System : The project also includes a dry-cooling system that significantly reduces water consumption - a critical advantage in the arid desert of western Abu Dhabi.
Top 10 Fat Blasting Exercise
Walking : Although high-intensity workouts are great for boosting your metabolism, low-intensity aerobic workouts, such as walking, can also be helpful when you are trying to trim down. This is because low-intensity exercises burn a higher percentage of fat, using it to fuel your workout. So if you want to burn fat and are not used to doing a great deal of exercise, going on long walks or gentle jogs may help you to achieve the body you want.
