question to serve as guidelines in doing this research. This investigatory project is concentrated on comparing the affectivity of solar powered light made from 3 different brands of bleach available in the market. Specifically‚ it is sought to answer the following question: 1. Can we use plastic bottles to make an alternative light bulb? 2. Is it as good as the electric light bulb? 3. Is it cheaper than the light bulbs nowadays? 4. What describes the solar powered light in terms of: a)intensity

This article is about all uses of solar energy. For the journal‚ see Solar Energy Journal. The 19.9 MW Gemasolar solar plant in Spain features 15 hours of storage and can supply power 24 hours a day. Solar energy‚ radiant light and heat from the sun‚ has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar energy technologies include solar heating‚ solar photovoltaics‚ solar thermal electricity‚ solar architecture and artificial photosynthesis‚ which

According to the National Geographic Magazine‚ the use of solar polar or photovoltaic cells has surged at about 20 percent a year over the past 15 years. This is thanks to rapidly falling prices and gains in efficiency. Countries such as Japan‚ Germany and the United States are major markets for solar cells. With tax incentives‚ solar electricity can often pay for itself in five to ten years. (National Geographic) With this fact in mind‚ it is no wonder that the city of Massachusetts politicians

Solar powered cars have been said to be the future of renewable transportation and that they are supposed to be economically efficient and environmentally friendly. Though it may sound like pure science fiction‚ there is development happening around world that is bringing that notion into reality. As I researched thoroughly to create my conceptual model for solar cars‚ I asked myself this: Are solar vehicles even practical for the U.S.? Solar energy is the most abundant energy resource on earth

individuals through such prophetic dreams (Premonitions‚ 2007). A premonition is a supernatural phenomenon which has been proven to exist through scientific research; reported occurrences of this para-psychological event are the Cincinnati premonition and Abraham Lincoln ’s dream of assassination. Psychological journals and scientific research give many theories as to why prophetic dreams occur. One theory details the possible experience of a future event through time distortion caused by the dream
