Analysis of Savonius Wind Turbine for Air Striking At Different Angles
Abstract: The global small wind turbine (SWT) market has been on the upswing in the last five years. The main drivers of this growth are the demand-supply gap in energy, increasing fossil fuel prices, improved small wind turbine technology and the diverse application to which it can be put to both ‘grid-tied’ and ‘stand-alone’ system. The market for SWT technology is growing in India also, and may require market drivers like …

Red Yeast as a Sustainable Platform for Bio-Oil and Natural Pigment Production
Abstract: Oleaginous yeast represents a promising biotechnological platform for the sustainable production ofbio-oil, an alternative to fossil-derived fuels. These microorganisms can accumulate lipids up to 20–70% of their dry cell weight, primarily in the form of triacylglycerols that are structurally similar toplant and animal oils. Among them, certain species exhibit distinctive red or pink pigmentation andare collectively referred to as red yeasts. These yeasts not only synthesize significant amounts ofstorage lipids …

Biofuels: A Short Review
Abstract: A biofuel is a hydrocarbon that is made BY or FROM a living being that we people can use to power something. Any hydrocarbon fuel that is delivered from natural matter (living or once living material) in a brief timeframe (days, weeks, or even months) is viewed as a biofuel. This diverges from fossil fills, which take a great many years to form and with different sorts of fuel which …
