green is not strictly a new technological concept‚ and any naturally occurring and theoretically inexhaustible energy such as wind‚ biomass‚ and solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ hydroelectric power that is not derived from fossil or nuclear fuel is referred to as renewable energy. The relevance of these emerging fields became more pronounced when the need to produce clean‚ safe and efficient energy devices without trading off environmental friendliness arise. The current electricity production from fossil fuels

to conserve energy. The process of conserving energy is not only how but also on what to use for it. Solar energy is one alternative energy source that would be converted to electricity by the use of these solar panels. Most solar panels are using silicon to produce the panels. The cells that are contained in these solar panels are normally silicon. These individual cells are shrinking all the time and becoming cheaper to produce. Solar panels provide users with a source for their work. Applications

was a part of NASA’s ERAST programme (Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology). It was developed by NASA and Californian company AeroVironment Inc. ERAST programme develops pilotless solar powered airplane technology. The HELIOS construction is based upon its predecessors like NASA’s solar plane Pathfinder‚ which was successfully tested a few years prior to HELIOS. Due to its speed HELIOS was able to fly over the same spot for days or weeks‚ therefore‚ in the future such aircrafts could

A solar car is an electric vehicle powered by solar energy. This is the result obtained from solar panels on the surface (usually the top) of the vehicle. Photovoltaic cells integrated into the panels convert the sun’s energy directly into electrical energy‚ electricity is captured and then stored in batteries that power the electric motor of the car. Electrical systems and electronic control the operation from capture to storage of solar energy received."In 1982‚ the Australian Hans Tholstrup built

| | Environmental Benefits of Solar Solar Panels Produce Electricity with Zero EmissionsSolar energy generated via solar panels (also known as Photovoltaic Solar or PV solar) is one of the most sustainable ways we have of generating energy and electricity today. First and foremost solar panels produce electricity without emissions of any kind. The majority of electricity we use in the United States today is generated from burning coal. Recently there has been a lot excitement around the idea

Practicability of Solar Panel as a Modified Power Saver Introduction Despite the advent of technological breakthrough‚ different issues and controversies about the shortage of Power Supply is an important matter being talked about nowadays. The higher the demand the lesser the supply‚ that is what the Economic Analysts would say when there is a price increase issue. Every year‚ human population increase and so as the product demand of every living human bag in this world. When the population

Passive Solar Design ITT Technical Institute Cap Stone [ April 6‚ 2012 ] Passive Solar Design Passive solar homes are houses designed to use the suns energy to heat the home. With this design it is also easy to cool these homes. The design has been around since men have walked the earth. It is so basic that it often gets over looked by architectural designers today. With the price of fossil fuel‚ and global warming‚ we can no longer over look this housing design. Our ancestors

My Solar System Name Period Introduction: Every physics student has had a lot of experience with the force of gravity. Unfortunately‚ this experience is limited to the interaction between a very large object‚ the Earth‚ and much smaller objects that are very close to it. This is a very limited range of the possibilities. Software simulations of gravity allow physics students to explore a variety of other gravitational interactions between objects. These activities are designed to be used
