Solar energy in world

Thursday, April 30th, 2009
Jack Smith asked:


energy in world

A long time, people have been working hard on the use of solar energy. Received by our planet of the solar energy, only the surface of the Sun issued all about energy, the energy equivalent of the world’s total energy requirements of the 3-4 million-fold, is inexhaustible, and the non – exhaust. Secondly, the space is not divided into days and nights and seasons, no clouds and shadows, very stable radiation energy in.

Thus generating system than the ground relatively simple, but in the absence of weight, high vacuum environment of the universe, the strength of equipment components is not too high demands. Moreover, solar energy and oil, coal and other fossil fuels, would not lead to the “greenhouse effect” and global climate change, will not cause environmental pollution. For this reason, the use of solar energy (laptop battery) are of great importance in many countries, we are in a race to develop new technologies and photoelectric photoelectric new materials to expand the utilization of solar energy applications.

Especially in the past 10 years, in increasing oil production to the bottom and the deteriorating ecological environment of these two crises together with the attack, we are looking forward to more and more “solar age” to come. From power generation, heating, water supply to a wide range of solar power plants, and their use is very extensive, and in some areas, the use of solar energy has entered the practical stage.

From 1974 to 1997, the United States and Japan and other developed countries silicon photovoltaic power generation costs by an order of magnitude: from 50 U.S. dollars per watt down to 5 U.S. dollars latitude D620 battery. Since then most of the world experts believe that solar power station to station with the traditional (mainly the power plant) compared with the competitiveness of the economy, there is still a long way to go in the same – to reduce the cost of re-do an order of magnitude.

At present, the United States and other countries make use of solar pond built by the project a lot of power. The banks in the Dead Sea in 1979 to build a 7000 square meters of the experimental solar pond for a heat generating 150 kilowatts. The United States plans to 8.3 percent of its Salt Lake area (about 8000 square kilometers) solar pond built for the 600-megawatt generating units of heating.

In June this year, Armenia Radio Physics and dell experts announced that the mountain in the country has begun the construction of its “The first experimental prototype” solar power plant industries. The turbines used in power stations is not new, but life has expired and removed from the helicopter to the turbine installed capacity of only 100 kilowatts, but the electricity cost of 0.5 cents / kilowatt-hour, efficiency as high as 40% -50 %.

Russian scholars in the study of solar pond has also made remarkable progress. A company to develop solar energy and water jet propulsion thrusters cool project with a combination of solar pond, solar pond to the tank with ice and other facilities designed for the new solar pond farmers. According to this design, a 6-8 person households to build a solar pond of 70 square meters, 100 square meters will be able to meet their housing needs of the whole year of electricity.

The guide to renewable Energy! – Facts, review and user feedback

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
Brenda B. asked:


Half a lifetime ago, when my wife and I first got a taste for remote RV living, we decided very early on that solar power had to be the way to go. Despite rapid advances in solar technology — even way back then — many fellow travelers were surprised when they learned our RV was “solar powered”.

Granted, that tiny house-on-wheels was getting on in years, and there was still a general belief among caravanners and motorhomers that solar power was “too expensive” and “too technical”. But whatever their reasons, I’m here to tell you that solar-charged 12 volt battery power was then, and still is, worthy of serious consideration — regardless of the size or age of your traveling rig.

In fact, even the most basic system — such as ours was then — provides not only a significant boost in self-sufficiency, it also saves enough money to recover your outlay in under three months. Even today.

For example, a 30-watt, self-regulating solar panel costs around $280 to $350 here in Australia. If you then factor in a no-maintenance, deep-cycle battery of at least 75 amp-hour capacity — to be installed in the RV — at maybe $180, plus suitable cabling, a salable plastic battery box (vented to the outside), and miscellaneous hardware for, say, $50 more, your total outlay shouldn’t be much over $600.

After that, every night you make use of your on-board power, on a “no hook-ups” campsite, you stand to save between $15 and $25 on tourist park fees. Sometimes more. On those figures, the whole set-up pays for itself in maybe 30 nights or less!

True, sufficient power would normally be available from your towing vehicle’s standard battery over one or two nights, but if the vehicle doesn’t move for two or three days the engine will almost certainly need a run for an hour or more to “top up” the charge taken out of the battery. And with single-battery set-ups, there is always a risk of over-using your power, resulting in a flat battery!

On the other hand, if you prefer the overnight security and companionship of a tourist park, an unpowered site — those nice, quiet spots down the back — saves maybe $3 – $8 per night. Which means you could still have your investment back in the bank within six months.

No matter how you look at it, solar was — and is — the way of the future. It’s clean, efficient, silent, and requires almost zero maintenance. And once the initial outlay has been covered, basic power needs from that point on are free.

However, there is a downside. (Isn’t there always?) A fixed solar array — on the RV roof, for instance — needs to be receiving the sun’s rays long and strong to adequately replenish the battery’s charge. Parked too long in the shade, or suffering through a lengthy stretch of rain-filled skies, can knock out a single-battery power supply in two or three days, even with judicious use. For that reason, some travelers have an additional, portable solar panel that can be constantly repositioned to catch the sun’s most direct rays, for as long as possible.

Nevertheless, in the four years we owned that well-traveled little van we had very few problems. (Mind you, we have always carried “conventional” backup in the form of a small petrol generator, and our vehicle has always been dual-battery equipped to share the campsite power needs.)

And about that tricky technology? Well, if a techno-slouch like me can have the whole system installed and operational in under two hours, anybody can! What we did was: (1) mount the solar panel directly onto the RV roof (with sealant carefully applied in and around the ***** holes), then (2) run the panel’s cabling down into the van (through the corner of the all-seasons hatch) into a cupboard. Being a self-regulating solar panel, a regulator was not necessary between panel and battery, so the cables were fixed directly onto the battery. The battery was housed in a robust plastic storage bin with a close-fitting lid, which I further sealed with silicone. Two lengths of 6 mm plastic hose vented the box to the outside through the caravan floor (inside the cupboard). Battery terminals were fitted with heavy-duty extension straps that passed through the side of the box to the outside to facilitate normal connection via alligator clips, a portable 12 volt socket, or sometimes a low capacity inverter. All holes in the floor and the battery box were fully sealed (both sides) with silicone sealant.

As for maintenance, all that’s required is an occasional wipe-down of the solar panel, and a general examination of wiring and seals from time to time. I also put a multimeter across the battery terminals every so often to see how it was tracking. (Of course, this reading is only accurate after the battery has “rested” for a half hour or so, i.e, no charge in or out.)

OK, we’ve learned a bit more about solar power since then, so we did some things differently second time around. But these differences were, essentially, because our fulltime travel now needs more than twice the power, with quite a lot more in reserve. So gizmos and gadgets are scattered throughout. But when we think back on that tiny, “drag-it-anywhere” caravan, with its most basic, D.I.Y. solar power set-up, we still get to feeling warm and fuzzy. (Self-sufficiency in the bush will do that!)

For our money, solar power and RVs are made for each other; it’s impossible to imagine a wandering life without either.

Residential Wind And Solar Power – Start Using It Today

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
Joshua Vadney asked:


Using an alternative energy as a source of electricity is one of the hottest topics in this day and age. This is due to the fact that the supply of the fossil fuels cannot anymore accommodate the everyday energy or electrical consumption being made by all the people worldwide. Thus, the very best way, which you can do is to look for an alternative type of energy such as the solar and wind energy that can generate electricity. These two types of energy are clean, eco-friendly, free, and renewable. As a matter of fact, these characteristics are the reasons why most energy and environmental experts advise the use of a residential wind and solar power system.

There are actually a lot of benefits which you can gain once you utilize a residential wind and solar power system. Some of these benefits are as follows:

• The supply of wind and solar energies are infinite. This only means that there will be no such thing as a shortage in the supply of neither wind nor solar energy. This is due to the fact that as long as the sun is up there in the sky and just as long as you can feel the wind then, there is an adequate supply of both wind and solar energy. So, there is nothing to worry about the supply of wind energy as well as solar energy.

• You can save a huge sum of money annually with the residential wind and solar power system. This is actually the major benefit that you can get from a residential power system. This only implies that with the help of a homemade power system, you can now get rid of the high costs of your monthly electric bill, giving you the chance to earn a huge sum of money every month within a year.

• A residential power system, which uses renewable sources of energy like the sun and the wind, is irrefutably nature-friendly. This is because of the fact that power systems via renewable types of energy produce no harmful gases or fluids that can damage the condition of the environment. It is actually safe to say that you can help save and protect the nature or environment with the simple use of either a wind or solar power system to generate electricity for your home.

• You can acquire some incentives from the government through the use of a residential wind and solar power system. This is really true since the government by now, has a strong campaign against global warming. In light of this, the government has decided to give some benefits and incentives to households, which utilize homemade wind and solar power systems.

Indeed, utilizing a residential wind and solar power system is a great option for you to consider since it has a lot of benefits to offer not only to the human race but to the environment as well. In fact, some of its numerous benefits and advantages were already mentioned above. So, the final decision is now up to you. If you really want to experience the exceptional benefits being offered by homemade power systems then, you should now start thinking about having a wind and solar power system for your home. After all, there is no harm on considering some helpful renewable sources of energy like the wind energy and solar energy as a way to generate electricity for your home.

Passive Solar Water Heater – An Eco Friendly Means Of Heating Water

Saturday, April 25th, 2009
sidana.abhi asked:


Have you ever thought of the repercussions you are causing to our mother nature because of the high energy consumption in our homes? In most homes, electricity is mainly used for heating water. Electricity that we use is produced with the help of either fossil fuels or nuclear energy. This produces a large amount of carbon dioxide which when released into the atmosphere causes several problems involving global warming.

There is a way out of this entire energy crisis and that is to use renewable resources instead. From ages past the idea of passive solar water heater is in practice. Solar water heaters harness the sun’s radiations and convert it into heat which is then used to heat water. This method is harmless and is very efficient too. There are two types of systems namely the active and the passive solar water heater.

In the passive solar water heater systems water or the heat transfer fluids are circulated without the usage of electrical pumps and other devices. The batch systems of the passive solar water heater category consist of large insulated storage vessels with the painted side facing the sun. This absorbs the radiations and converts it to the water molecules inside. With continuous motion, the heat is circulated.

The other kind of passive solar water heater systems include a thermosiphon system which is based on the idea that warm water rises up. Water is circulated through collection tanks and then into a holding tank which is placed above it. In this manner water is heated continuously.

Your electricity bill will be cut down to large extents when such a passive solar water heater is used. You can be satisfied of the fact that you are not harming the environment in any manner. These can be fixed by using components that are easily available. When you opt for such a solar heater, you can be sure of the fact that you are choosing an eco friendly method that will cost you very less too.

Natural Cures – Can Pyramid Energy Really Improve Your Health?

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
Lee Cusano asked:


of you who have never heard or thought anything about pyramids or thought they were just an occult thing, I am here to let you know that pyramid energy is real. And that they don’t stem from the occult but rather a higher power (in whom there is no darkness at all).

Is it really possible for pyramid energy to improve your health? Yes. The reason being is that the secret that makes pyramids special is a thing called “life force energy” that surrounds all living things. Believe it or not, it is also found in the geometric shape of pyramids.

A while back on the news there was a report that showed how therapists were healing a patients wounds faster by moving their hands slightly over the wound in a slow circular motion. The wound was a serious burn on a person’s arm.

Their hands were not touching the patients’ arm. Instead their hands were slowly moving back and fourth about an inch above the wound. This motion was healing the wound quicker because of the life force energy that is emitted from the therapists’ hands.

This same life force energy is in everyone and every living thing. It was reported on the news that the wound was healing at a much higher rate. This same life force energy is found in and around pyramids. It is called pyramid energy.

You can see the evidence of this life force energy in action when kirlian photography is taken. Kirlian photography is a special photographic process that was developed in Russia back in the early 20th century using electricity.

The reason why pyramids have the same life force energy as other living things has to do with its special geometry. An excellent example of this is prismatic light. Even prismatic light has these same health benefits and even makes plants grow better.

I think it has to do with the colors in the light spectrum. Prisms have the same similar geometric shapes that pyramids have. If you have a beveled mirror in your house you can see the awesome rainbow colors in the beveled edges. They sometime strike beautiful colors on walls and ceilings.

Getting back to pyramid energy, people with broken bones have claimed to be healed faster. People suffering from back pain have reported significant pain relief. And even people with a painful abscessed tooth have claimed to have their toothache cured permanently. I for one have witnessed this healing.

Pyramid energy has even more natural cures types of benefits as well. This free energy beats taking toxic chemicals that are not only expensive, but shouldn’t be taken on a long term basis anyway.

Don’t get me wrong, some medicine is good and God bless our doctors and scientists that have devoted their lives to helping people get well.

Just as the sun is reported to give us needed nutrients like vitamin D, (which is good for strong healthy bones) pyramids seem to operate and benefit from natural sunlight as well. Pyramid energy will work in the daytime or at night.

Most of the time there is significant amounts of solar flare activity on the sun. Once every 11 years there is a temporary cycle where the solar flare activity breaks and pyramids lose their Electro-magnetic energy. I read about this in another pyramid book. People were calling in and complaining that their pyramids were not energized.

This shows more proof that what makes pyramids work is not some kind of strange magic but rather basic science and geometry at work.

In this day and age people are looking for natural cures and clean energy. Pyramids offer us free, clean energy that has many health benefits for mankind.
