Solar Energy Efficiencies
Spain has agreed to fund a project that would provide solar energy to remote Philippine farming villages, a Philippine official said Sunday. Agrarian Reform Secretary Horacio Morales Jr. said the $57 million project would initially cover 74 villages that have no power supply. Through the use of solar panels and batteries for power storage, each [...]
Solar Energy and NASA
Fuel-cell automobiles are a lot more important to the political right and and the anti-environment people than they are to the left, as the rightists get to say there is no reason to mandate the use of existing technology to improve the efficiency and cleanliness with which we burn gasoline and diesel fuel because fuel [...]
Projects on Solar Energy
Project of gathering information from village people who are using Diesel fuel to pump their water from wells & or lakes, streams whatever. This would be a one on one experience with village people, dealing with human basic needs, water and food. We aim to show the benefits of using solar energy vs. diesel, financially, [...]
How Solar Energy Affects Normal Life
It is perfectly obvious to all that the wind doesn’t blow all the time. Nevertheless wind can be incorporated into the existing grid without using storage facilities. Wind energy can provide something on the order of 30% without too much trouble. True, if you want to replace fossil fuel and nuclear energy totally, there has [...]

Solar Energy in Daily Life
If you have an interest in solar energy — specifically the area known as passive solar design — you should know the work of architect David Wright. (I landed on his page a while back, bookmarked it, and forgot that it was there on my general list of bookmarks. I worked with David briefly about [...]
Solar Energy Devices
The new Internet site is designed to accommodate a range of computer system capabilities. For those users with more advanced systems, text files, color and contour plots on a global scale also are available. “The release of this data to the Internet will not only help us answer questions faster, but will allow more specific [...]
The Future of Solar Energy
A bigger problem is that no one has taken the time to look a the full picture. We have a statement that PV’s are 15 % efficient. Let’s be honest. What happens to the 85 % that is not converted to electricity? Well, the collector, being at a ralatively low temperature radiates the unconverted energy [...]
Draining Energy from the Sun
Poll after poll shows that American¹s favor wind and solar research far more than other energy research areas such as nuclear, fusion, and fossil fuels. But the House Republicans, with few exceptions, just don¹t seem to care. I think they don¹t care because they don¹t hear directly from their constituents: people in their own districts [...]

Disappearing Ocean Tides
The moon’s gravity imparts tremendous energy to the Earth, raising tides throughout the global oceans. What happens to all this energy? This question has been pondered by scientists for over 200 years, and has consequences ranging from the history of the moon to the mixing of the oceans. Richard Ray at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight [...]
Generating Power from the Sea
There are vast, empty areas (deserts) which are just left doing nothing. Maybe wind doesn’t blow all the time there, but they sure as hell get loads of sunshine. And there is something called a grid system which enables the transfer of electricity from one place to another. The right method for the right area. [...]
Home-based Uses of Tidal Energy
It’s not completely impossible, even though the known asteroids generally tend to consist of light elements (iron being about the heaviest). Fissionables need not be located in planetary cores under high pressure to undergo sustained natural fission – I remember reading about a thorium deposit somewhere in Africa where evidence was found that a nuclear [...]
New Age Tidal Technology
We have always aspired to finding an alternative, unpolluting energy resources, and most of all, to extract the abundance of energy, that we realise,lies dormant, in the tidal oceans, because it is free and renewable. We have made half-hearted attempts, using energy fron tidal flow, but the potential for conversion has been limited to exceptionally [...]
