Solar Power Education – How Teaching Children Ensures A Safe Environment

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
Abhishek Agarwal asked:


Today kids are learning about all sorts of things especially with modern technology. We are moving ahead and it is good to teach them about solar power, which is a resource that will be part of their future, depending on how much care is spent on it now. Wherever you see the sun shines, or you can feel any warmth or see it, you can have solar power. This kind of power to used for heating and lighting in business, homes and schools; for heating water, and it also a way to produce energy. By teaching kids how solar power actually works and how we should use it wisely will help to protect the future for us all.

Children need to learn why we need and alternative to the energy we use today and the effects and damage it has had on the world’s environment. It is important for them to understand why we need to produce a safer energy source. Electricity is currently a non-rewable resource, as we gain nothing from using it. Once this power runs out we will need to find an alternative source of power supply. Scientists are always busy looking at new resources for energy production, so that when we eventually do run out of one source, there is another in reserve to replace it, so that we don’t miss out.

Until then, another resource needs to be found, to ensure that is ready for when the switch over is necessary. We need to preserve what is left at the moment, so that in the near future we can immediately switch to a new energy resource with no problems. Much of energy production that we have is currently damaging and so harms the environment. By polluting the air, the sun is under threat and we run the risk of losing it as a natural resource. This alternative resource is vitally important, so by teaching our kids they can join our efforts to save solar power for the future.

Solar power generates energy by using the natural resources around us, and there are man made sources so that the solar power can be attracted to these sources and saved. We need to find a way for this be to cost effective by using solar sources that are cheap enough to provide us with the solar power that is needed. The average home would benefit greatly by switching over to solar power, and it is easy to set up, saving on the need for power lines. If your home is being built from scratch, by installing solar power you can begin to generate electricity in your home straightaway, to heat your water supply, and you could even sell your surplus energy for use elsewhere. You would be putting money back in your pocket. There are huge benefits to be gained by saving on producing a resource by the slow use of a natural resource. Children will learn how to save energy and how to plan for their safe future.

Conserving solar power by everyone of all ages and the sooner it starts, the more the future will benefit. Teaching kids is the way forward in order to save our energy, as we need a solution on how we can save on solar power in the future. Currently power is linked to each individual house for heating, our water supply and some other necessities; by being able to save in larger quantities we hope one day to cut out the need for so power lines that we see everywhere running through fields, our streets and backyards which will be replaced by solar panels and boxes instead.

Solar energy in world

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.

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.
