Solar and wind energy the way to go

Continuous research and development of alternative energy could soon lead to a new era in human history in which two renewable sources, solar and wind, will become Earth’s dominant contributor of energy, a Nobel laureate said at a special symposium at the American Chemical Society’s 240th National Meeting.

Walter Kohn, Ph.D., who shared the 1998 Nobel [...]

'Global warming is nothing'

While a third of respondents to a recent global survey said they were very concerned about climate change, with 9 percent admitting that they weren’t.

“The issue of climate change has continued its rough ride,” said Steve Garton of market research firm Synovate which, along with German media company Deutsche Welle, conducted the poll in 18 [...]

Wave power - new patent

NELSPRUIT – The incredible power of the ocean is seen in the continuous roar and crash of the rolling waves, an inexhaustible source of renewable energy and, in theory at least, a potential provider of mass electricity in a world where pollution is threatening our very existence.

Despite many attempts in recent years to effectively harvest [...]

Solar Geyser Collector Types

There are two main types of collectors used in Solar Geysers: flat-plate collectors and vacuum tube collectors.
A flat-plate collector has a transparent cover made of specially toughened glass, a coated metal absorber plate (coating is usually matt black paint), and a well-insulated weatherproof casing. Flat plate collectors are robust, economical, and versatile.

Vacuum-tube collectors consist of [...]

The Different Types of Solar Power Systems

Solar energy is harnessed by various solar power systems to perform different functions.
If you are interested in ’going green’, i.e. being eco-friendly, you can use any of these solar power systems to reduce electricity consumption:

• Solar water heater: This is a very efficient homemade solar energy system. These heating systems are so effective that your geysers [...]

Solar power uses

You can use solar power to run outdoor lights; replace security, poolside and garden lights with solar powered lights and save electricity. They are long lasting and will last through all weather conditions.

Solar water heating is also a great alternative to normal electricity-intensive geysers.

There are two types of geysers – direct systems that [...]
