Environmental Benefits of Solar Power [pic] The conservation of non-renewable energy resources Photovoltaic (PV) solar power eases the usage of diminishing natural resources such as oil‚ coal and gas. Today‚ we live in an exceptionally demanding environment where the use of energy is growing at an alarming rate. It is vital to preserve the earth’s fossil fuels and other natural resources‚ not only for a healthier environment but also for the ability of future generations to meet their own

Anidolic Daylighting Systems and Solar Tubes Author: Beng Wee (Steward) Lim Email: stewardlim1@hotmail.com Until recently‚ the technology to redirect natural light into interior spaces did not exist and we have relied on electric lighting and windows. Using parabolic mirrors‚ Anidolic daylighting system not only manipulates the daylight into the space‚ it increases the daylight levels within the room despite the weather conditions and climate.

On February 20 2012‚ me and my daughter went to the Gates Planetarium in Denver to see the showing of the Wildest Weather in the Solar System. The first thing we did was to walk around the Space Odyssey and explore some of the exhibit they had. Then we went to see the show which I must say was far more thrilling then I or my daughter could have imagined. When you first walk into the Space Odyssey you are amazed it almost looks as thought your walking on to a spaceship or what I would imagine it

Photosynthesis simply means the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms. In photosynthesis‚ the raw materials are water and carbon dioxide. Energy is taken from sunlight and the end products give out glucose and oxygen. It is the most important‚ naturally occurring process

"An Earth-like planet spotted outside our solar system is the first found that could support liquid water and harbor life." This comes from a NASA researcher. New life on other planets could mean so much for the future of humans. The only way to keep finding out new information about our solar system and beyond is to spend money to research it. The only way to prove that there is life on other planets is to conduct

The crusade against bottled water has become something of a standard feature of environmental activism among Friends. I discovered this a couple years ago when some self-appointed eco-elders came after me for having ordered several cases of bottled water with distinctive labels. Good heavens‚ I wondered as their ire crashed down—what had I done? To listen to the indictment‚ giving away bottled water at a Quaker event was a mark of moral turpitude that fell somewhere between recruiting torturers

Abstract: Solar energy is quite simply the energy produced directly from the sun and collected elsewhere‚ namely the Earth. Photovoltaic technology directly converts solar energy into electricity. Photovoltaic thin film solar cells are easy to handle ‚ inexpensive and also easy to use. Thin film panel is flexible and can tolerate a bullet hole without failing and can greatly increase the surface area and the absorption coefficient needed to generate electricity. This paper will discuss the advantages

Solar Energy In 1839 Alexander Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect which explains how electricity can be generated from sunlight. He claimed that an electrode submerged in a conductive solution would create an electric current. ‘However even after much research and development subsequent to the discovery‚ photovoltaic power continued to be very inefficient a solar cell were used mainly for the purposes of measuring light. Solar energy is radiant light and
