The Green Power Plan

Today Solar energy is one of the greatest potentials for modern world. The necessity for reduction of fossil fuels,  its pollution causing production, increased awareness for environment, necessity for lowering electricity and heating costs is stimulating now-days brains into researches and inventions of better and better materials and technologies provided by solar energy. Every day [...]

Seems unlikely that solar cells would work at night, but scientists of Idaho National Laboratory are ”hunting down” the magic formula. It’s about new breed of nanoscale light-sensitive antennas that could make this work! Mr. Novack from INL declares that new devices have the ability to harvest infrared radiation. About half of the solar energy is [...]

Scientists of Washington State University combined alternative energy of the sun  and the wind – solar wind power. This combination could provide enormous quantity of alternative energy that could satisfy human kind necessity for energy. The basic solar wind satelite  placed in the outer space would capture  electrons throug charged cooper wire. This future technology [...]

Nanotechnology is the study of manipulating matter on a very small scale. It includes atoms and molecules. Nanometer is so tiny, if we make comparison with the pin head, which has 1 milimeter (mm) in its witdth, than 1 mm is 1,000,000 nanometers (nm). That’s really tiny. But as many tiny things are bigger than [...]

Poluttion vs. health Using solar energy (or any other renewable form of energy) causes diminishing of harmful by-products of burning fossil fuels since we replaceit with renewable technologies. By-products like carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, smog, particles from soot and dust are inducers of many health problems. Carbon monoxide effects cardiac system and causes headaches. Longer [...]

SUN is our closest star and gives us light and warmth. Suns ray travel from Sun to the Earth for 8 minutes. Distance from sun to earth is 93,000,000 miles. Pollution causes less clear, more cloudy and foggy air, and therefore prevents sun rays reaching the earth. SOLAR ENERGY is  electrical  or  thermal energy  acquired [...]
