Sun Spot (Sun Small Programmable Object Technology) is a wireless sensor network (WSN) mote developed by Sun Microsystems. The device is built upon the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. Unlike other available mote systems, the Sun SPOT is built on the Java 2 Micro Edition Virtual Machine (JVM). The Sun SPOT project explores wireless transducer technologies that enable the emerging network of things. We are building a hardware and software research platform to overcome the challenges that currently inhibit development of tiny sensing devices. These change ....etc

ENHANCED PERFORMANCE OF A DOUBLY FED
WIND-POWER INDUCTION GENERATOR AT WIND-
RANGE BOUNDARIES
ABSTRACT
The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is one of the largest generators used
with MW-class wind turbines. This paper focuses on the weak performance areas
of grid-connected DFIG-based wind turbines. Basically, the DFIG performance at
low wind speeds, close to the cut in speed, and around the full rating operation (in
the vicinity of rated wind speed) is investigated. For low wind speed region, the

ABSTRACT
Wind from the Sun is a new technology for obtaining power from the sun and wind. This hybrid system turns the sun's light into heat, then uses that heat to create a wind within a horizontal large-diameter pipe. The wind inside the pipe is converted into electric power using a series of wind turbines.
1. The Collector: A large area of land is covered with a material with low reflectivity (dark in color). This material converts the sun's light into heat.
2. Heating the air: The collector increa ....etc

In nature, it is solar power that creates wind power. Consider the example of the sea breeze. The sun heats both land and sea, but the land heats up more quickly and reaches a higher temperature than the sea. The air over the land becomes hotter than the air over the sea and the hot air rises, creating an area of lower air pressure (close to the surface). Air moves from the area of higher pressure over the sea to the area of lower pressure over the land. The cool sea air heats up as it moves over the land and so it rises, creating a cycle. The ....etc
