Research in the field of electrical energy generation

from the Earth‚ a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth‚ and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun. This can happen only at new moon‚ when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth. In a total eclipse‚ the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. In partial and annular eclipses only part of the Sun is obscured.If the Moon were in a circular orbit close enough to the Earth and in the same orbital plane‚ there would be total solar eclipses every

with his friends invented an innovative bird feeder that worked on solar power. The feeder used a small solar panel in its roof to build an electric charge. The Solar feeder’s purpose is to use the mild electric shock it generates to repel the squirrels‚ preventing them from stealing the bird seed or damaging the feeder itself. In a typical product-driven approach‚ Bo and his friends started SDI‚ Inc. to produce and promote the solar feeder without having done any marketing plan. After several years
