The weaknesses in the model stem from the narrow scale of theseprojects that preclude working in research teams, and the difficulty of extending the research intothe scholarship of discovery.References1 Noah, B.

, because air has a index of refraction slightly greater than unity, there issome refractive bending, and thus, the signal may travel slightly beyond the horizon. (b) Thesurface wave, which is also called the Norton surface wave. Norton surface waves are waves thattravel along the earth’s surface in the same way a electromagnetic wave would travel along atransmission line[1]. The losses are dictated by the frequency, the higher the frequency, thegreater the signal attenuation. The Norton surface wave permits reasonable propagation ofsignals below the medium frequency (MF) bands and therefore, depending on the transmitterpower, AM broadcast signals can propagate up to a maximum of hundred or miles or so duringthe day via the surface wave.

was heard.The results confirm what is generally expected about ionospheric propagation. In looking at Figure4, observe the following. (a) the 2.5 and 5 MHz signals can only be heard at night indicating thatwhen the sun is out, the D-layer is present and absorbs signals on the lower part of the HF bandsand thus prevents them from reaching the E or F-layer for long distance transmission. Note thatthe sunset/sunrise in Colorado lags Connecticut by two hours as well as other considerations meansthat receiving these will not necessarily coincide with the exact local sunrise/sunset times. (b) The5 MHz signal is less subject to the D-layer than the 2.5 MHz signal and is thus heard for a longertime during the daylight hours. Therefore, we observe D

Considering our average daily use, the devicewas designed to harness energy from water flow using fundamental physics concepts. Hydroelectric poweris considered as one of the cleanest alternative energies but is still not widely and efficiently used by mostof today’s energy enterprises. This paper presents a water flow generator that produces electrical energyfrom the day-to-day water use at home. The flow generator design is a micro view of the hydroelectricpower plant combined with the idea of using rechargeable and energy storing devices.
