How to guide for creating solar power

…I am sure that almost everyone understands the vast amount of damage that we are currently doing to our worldwide environment, you simply need to read the news one night to discover one story after the next. Likewise, at some point I am certain you will likely have also seen the various for advertisements out there for domestic green energy systems. Well, I will discuss today a cheaper way for the normal household to obtain green energy through building DIY solar energy panels and wind turbines. I am aware, it sounds a tad farfetched at first, however, read on and all shall be explained.This is now the new craze if you’d prefer. Increasingly families are turning to creating their very own solar panel sets and wind turbines primarily in order to save money I feel, however, many are now also doing it to do their bit to save the environment. Companies have now realised that there is a market for the DIY green energy guide and have therefore leapt on that opportunity. These guides allow for green DIY products to…

Top 12 Solar Powered Aircrafts

Incredible solar powered aircrafts ready to change the way we’ll fly in the green future.

…Designer: Eric Raymond
Eric gave shape to Sunseeker after years of hard work, changes and innovations on wings of Larry Mauro’s SOLAR RISER, Paul MacCready’s SOLAR CHALLENGER, and Gunther Rochelt’s MUSCULAIR II. The project kicked off in 1986 and was given the final shape in 1989-90 with help of Sanyo and other corporations.
11. SOLONG

Designer: AC Propulsion
Type: UAV
Weight: 10.8 kg
‘SoLong’ stands apart by flying continuously for over 24 hours by battery and solar power.
10. Solar-Powered Robot Bird

Designer: University of Missouri-Rolla
Flying Altitude: 30,000 to 40,000 feet
Unique features: World’s first flapping-wing unmanned solar aircraft
This solar-powered bird is literally an eagle and apparently is world’s first flapping-wing unmanned aircraft that runs on solar energy. Designed by researchers at the University of Missouri-Rolla with the help of NASA, the aircraft uses thin-film solar arrays and special shape changing material hence making it more flexible and efficient than the Mars…

From Peas to Power (Solar, That Is)

A scientist at the University of Tel Aviv (Dept. of Biochemistry) thinks that someday the same natural power system that peas use to convert sunlight into sugar could create electricity for your home.

…solar cells projected for use in solar-energy generating clothing, tents or BIPV (building integrated photovoltaic) applications.The university reportedly intends to work on the size in the near future, producing bio-based solar cells closer to one centimeter, or 0.39 inches.The actual solar cell itself is fashioned of about 200 chlorophylls (the basic substance in photosynthesis). These are layered with proteins between two exterior layers, an inorganic semiconductor (silicon, gallium or arsenide?) and a conductor (copper, for example).The basic science behind photosynthesis was formulated in 1905 by Albert Einstein, who concluded that photons delivering a charge to electrons triggered a biochemical reaction that resulted in glucose, or plant sugars….

Solar Power Gadgets

go.tagjag.com - twitter.com - Aside from communicating with the opposite sex, what is a Geek’s greatest fear? I’d have to say it would be the fear of losing power! We are always worried about our batteries dying just when we need them most! Due to this, I spent a bit of my own money to buy a Solio Universal Solar Hybrid Charger. That’s right… it can charge from the Sun!! It also has a proprietary cable (ARGH!) that you can use, as well, in case you happen to live where the Sun never shines. chris.pirillo.com

Solar-powered sea slug harnesses stolen plant genes

It’s the ultimate form of solar power: eat a plant, become photosynthetic. Now researchers have found how one animal does just that.

…after all, it does gain the genes from the chloroplasts that it ingested. Second, we don’t know if it can actually incorporate those genes into it’s genome anyway. It may be a plasmid (a self-replicating, double stranded segment of DNA) or an episome (a plasmid that has been integrated into the host genome). I know that this applies mainly towards bacterial and viral genetics, but then again, nobody thought that an animal could become an autotroph, so who am I to discard a good theory? Anyway, if it can integrate, then that tells us that it could, in theory, make a genetically viable gamete (It’s highly unlikely, because it would cause a Robertsonian translocation mutation or a Robertsonian fusion mutation, which in turn would create unbalanced gametes unless the the Robertsonian mutations balance out. A few gametes may be viable because of this, but that’s a bit of a stretch.). It’s significantly more probable that it cannot integrate those plasmids into its genome, strictly so that it can increase its…
