The use of fire

  

Hi everyone,

Fire is a very interesting energy. It can be dangerous but on the other hand also very useful.

Where fire certainly emits a lot of danger is for example in forest fires.

The area of destroyed forest in the Mediterranean region due to forest fire is estimated at 1 million ha per year.

In the pdf you can find a video where you can see such a forest fire

 

Would you like to know how fast fire spreads and how this energy is used in the past, present and future?

Then you are exactly right here.

Task 15

Our goal is to deliver a unified work. Our work should have a common thread and the posts from our team should be consistent. A correct pronunciation of technical terms and a low error rate is also important to us. Therefore, we have our work corrected by two outsiders who have nothing to do with the project.

Task 12

We were able to define our goals and can base decisions on those goals. We are confident that this project will bring a clear message and will remain in the minds of readers in the long term. This project makes us more and more curious and we are glad to have chosen such a diverse topic.

Unfortunately, we had problems with our collaboration partner from Sweden. After several unanswered emails, we felt that we should take our experience with him and put our energy into other collaboration partners from now on. We are looking forward to our final result!

Task 10 C-Project:

In our project we want to find out what impact classic cars and electric cars have on the environment in comparison. We also made a cost comparison between these two types of cars, taking into account the following points:
- Acquisition costs
- Maintenance costs (repair, refueling/charging, etc.)
- Stability of value

Our goal is to raise awareness about cars through these two main points: cost comparison and impact on the environment from production to wear and tear to disposal, compared to old-timers and electric cars.
