Why do we swing our Arm while Walking?

By
When we walk, we usually take a step and swing the opposite arm forward. Why we do this, is something scientists are still trying to figure out. 

However, as per an experiment, it was found that when we swing our arms, we use 12% less energy as compared to when we hold our arms still. This means normal arm swinging is not muscle-driven, but instead they naturally move like a pendulum. Some experts even suggest that arm swinging helps balance our body’s rotational motion. When we put one leg forward, the pelvis twists or rotates sideways. Thus, forward swing of the opposite hand counterbalances this rotation, helping us walk straight. However, some people believe that arm swinging might be an evolutionary remnant of our ancestors who used all their four limbs to walk.

How Energy conversion from coal is done?

By
Single generator sets of over 600 MW are now used in the UK, though there are many smaller generators in use. A 600 MW generator can supplythe average needs of over 1 million UK households. Three or four such generators are typically installed in a single large coal-fired station which isoften sited close to a coal mine, away from the city dwellers who consume the electricity. Such generators are usually driven by a compound arrangement of highpressure, intermediate-pressure and low-pressure turbines, increasing in size as the pressure decreases. Modern turbines rotate in a speed range from 1500 to 3500 r.p.m., usually 3000 r.p.m. for the UK’s 50 Hz system. For large coal-fired plant the steam pressure could be 25 megapascals (MPa) with steam temperatures of 500–600 °C to improve the thermodynamic efficiency. In nuclear reactors, which operate under less demanding conditions, the steam is superheated to about 5 MPa and 300 °C. Modern water tube boilers are complex and have ...
