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

Scope and Limitation This research focuses on the advantages of using an improvised light amplifier or “solar bulb” using three (3) basic household materials: Water‚ Plastic Bottle (preferable a 1.5L bottle)‚ and BLEACH. The researchers aims to determine the application‚ advantages and disadvantages‚ and some other important factors such as the duration of usage‚ cost‚ manner of maintenance‚ and the suitable environment for application. In addition‚ the study also involves minimal field work

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV)‚ or indirectly with concentrated solar power (CSP)‚ which normally focuses the sun’s energy to boil water which is then used to provide power. Other technologies also exist‚ such as Stirling engine dishes which use a Stirling cycle engine to power a generator. Photovoltaics were initially‚ and still are‚ used to power small and medium-sized applications‚ from the

Solar System Our solar neighborhood is an exciting place. The Solar System is full of planets‚ moons‚ asteroids‚ comets‚ minor planets‚ and many other exciting objects. Learn about Io‚ the explosive moon that orbits the planet Jupiter‚ or explore the gigantic canyons and deserts on Mars. How Did The Solar System form? This is an important question‚ and one that is difficult for scientists to understand. After all‚ the creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there

Forces Analysis for the Pharmaceutical Industry Degree of rivalry among existing firms (HIGH) Pharmaceutical industry is one of the most competitive industries in the country with as many as 10‚000 different players fighting for the same pie. The rivalry in the industry can be gauged from the fact that the top player in the country has only 6% market share‚ and the top five players together have about 20% market share. Thus‚ the concentration ratio for this industry is very low. High growth prospects

pharmaceutical products soaring‚ the company decided to sell generic drugs primarily to government hospitals to help less privileged Filipinos avail affordable quality medicines. Heeding the call for cheaper medicine‚ the company stepped up its distribution by opening its retail arm in 2001. In 2007‚ THEGENERICSPHARMACY tapped Francorp‚ the world leader in franchising‚ to engineer its franchise development and growth. The goal is to make affordable generic medicine more available to a greater number of

maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms in a photovoltaic simulation system. The Matlab/Simulink is used in this paper to establish a model of photovoltaic system with MPPT function. This system is developed by combining the models of established solar module and DC-DC buck-boost converter with the algorithms of perturbation and observation (P&O)‚ incremental conductance (INC) and hill climbing (HC)‚ respectively. The system is simulated under different climate conditions and MPPT algorithms. According

Solar roadways are a series of structurally engineered solar panels that can be driven on‚ which would replace asphalt roads. Solar Roadways would collect energy and then distribute it to our homes and businesses in order to replace the need for fossil fuels and better the economy. This past February‚ four

Solar power satellites Introduction The Sun is a very powerful‚ clean and convenient source of power‚ particularly for satellites. The only thing needed is a means to convert the energy contained in the Sun’s radiation – mainly light and ultraviolet rays – into electrical power. The most efficient way to achieve this today is by using panels composed of semiconductor photovoltaic cells. ‘Solar panels’‚ as they are usually called‚ are now quite a common sight here on Earth‚ but they were first used
