Project Title: Why is Solar Power Better than Traditional Power? Solar Power might be a popularly growing technology today but the idea of its inception dates back to more than 175 years. It was in 1839 when Alexandre Edmond Becquerel discovered that certain materials produced small amounts of electricity on exposure to sunlight. Later‚ in 1876 William Adams along with Becquerel’s student Richard Day‚ discovered that selenium contained potential properties of converting light into electricity. The

Solar Nebular Hypothesis The idea behind the Solar Nebular Hypothesis is that the solar system was condensed from an enormous cloud of hydrogen‚ helium‚ and a few other elements and rocks. Around five billion years this cloud of materials began to spin and contract together into a disk shape under their own gravitational forces. The particles started combined together‚ protoplanets‚ to eventually form planets. A great mass of the material eventually began to form together‚ protosun‚ and make

Isaac Solar Ice Maker Solar Icemaker Up to 1000 pounds of ice per day! Low cost and reliable source of ice for situations requiring 25 to 1000 pounds of ice per day (12-450kg). "Isaac" is the acronym for Intermittent Solar Ammonia Absorption Cycle. Ammonia absorption refrigeration technology was developed in the 19th century and is still used in industrial applications. Energy Concepts has adopted this technology to a machine which uses the sun as the only energy output. The particular advances

Solar Powered Traffic Light Solar traffic lights are signaling devices powered by solar panels positioned at road intersections‚ pedestrian crossings and other locations to control the flows of traffic. They assign the right of way to road users by the use of lights in standard colors (red - amber/yellow - green)‚ using a universal color code (and a precise sequence to enable comprehension by those who are color blind). Most of the solar traffic lights have battery back-up for functioning during

Introduction "A "light bulb" now exists that does not use any conventional energy. Introducing the Solar Bottle Bulb -- an alternative source of daylight powered by the sun. It is made from an old soda bottle. By filling it with water and sealing it into the roof‚ the water refracts the sun’s rays and provides about 55 watts of light to a darkened room. This was invented in 2006 by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It can be built and installed in less than 1 hour

ASTOUNDING SOLAR ENERGY FACTS What is solar energy? People often think of solar energy as solar panels mounted on roofs in sunny neighborhoods. This is only part of solar energy (“Solar energy facts‚”2012). Solar energy is the oldest energy source. Plants‚ animal and the microbial life have been using it as a principle energy source since the times of creation. It is in the form of heat and light. In the past years‚ people have tapped solar energy enabling it to be used at all times; including
