SOLAR POWER IN TODAYS WORLD JEROME T. GARDNER COLUMBIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT Since first discovered in the 1860s‚ the concept of storing energy from the sun to use as a source of power has been studied and pursued by many programs. Either using solar collectors or photovoltaic cells‚ the methods of using solar power are becoming more efficient and cost-effective. Solar technology is currently being used by homes and businesses‚ but is still too expensive and risky for many residents. Researchers

History of Solar Energy 1767‚ First Solar Collector In the year 1767 a Swiss scientist named Horace-Benedict de Saussure created the first solar collector – an insulated box covered with three layers of glass to absorb heat energy. Saussure’s box became widely known as the first solar oven‚ reaching temperatures of 230 degrees fahrenheit. 1839‚ Photovolataic Effect Defined In 1839 a major milestone in the evolution of solar energy happened with the defining of the photovoltaic effect.

NEW ERA OF FLIGHT SOLAR IMPULSE AIRCRAFT Throughout the centuries‚ scientists have found innovative ways to harness the power of the sun- from magnifying glasses to steam engines. Amid the push to find domestic energy sources that are less polluting than fossil fuel‚ solar energy stands out as the alternative source with the most potential. Assisted by technological innovations‚ two Swiss gentlemen have built a solar aircraft which promises a new generation of flight without burning an ounce

The Power of Solar Storms To Our Fragile Planet Natural disasters occur when least expected all over the world. Disasters affect countless lives and cost millions of dollars. Hurricanes‚ tornados‚ and tsunamis occur with such regularity throughout the world that society has developed warning systems and is prepared to rebound from these disasters as quickly as possible. One disaster that most people do not think about is solar storms. Research shows that solar storms have been documented since the

Solar System Our solar neighborhood is an exciting place. The Solar System is full of planets‚ moons‚ asteroids‚ comets‚ minor planets‚ and many other exciting objects. Learn about Io‚ the explosive moon that orbits the planet Jupiter‚ or explore the gigantic canyons and deserts on Mars. How Did The Solar System form? This is an important question‚ and one that is difficult for scientists to understand. After all‚ the creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there

Solar seeker: In this project we design a solar seeker to follow a sun. solar seeker follow the sun and if the sensor attach on the sensor a sense a sun then solar seeker is stop automatically. Now after some time sun move from its position‚ then again seeker sensor sense the light and move the motor very slowly. If the sensor sense the signal then automatically stop the seeker . Movement of the seeker is restricted from left to right for limited area. To control the left and right limit

Non-Profit vs. For-Profit The main difference between non-profit and for profit healthcare organizations are; Non-profit hospitals don’t need to pay property‚ sales or income taxes and receive grants from the government and through donations. They were designed to provide discounted fees for service or no fee to those in the surrounding communities with limited to no funds for healthcare‚ basically the poor or those who fall within the guidelines of those below poverty level.
