Solar Powered
The energy resources of the world are depleting fast with the decrease in fossil fuel reserves. These sources of energy have caused a considerable damage to the environment and are among the chief reasons for global warming.
As a result, a number of alternative energy sources have emerged and more and more people are turning to them. Solar energy is one of these alternative energy sources. This article looks at the pros and cons of using solar energy to run the AC at your home. The first thing everyone is interested in is the financial feasibility of using solar energy. The solar panels and the entire solar-powered system are quite expensive.
So the set-up cost is high. On the other side, an AC powered solar energy reduces your bills by a Great Deal. So if you are ready to make the big initial onetime investment then a solar powered AC is going to cost you a lot less.
The issue of whether You Can get one for your home easily is not that complicated and there are many companies creeping up these days that specialize in providing solar power energy and it is easy to find an authorized dealer. Not only does it saves your electricity bills, getting a solar powered AC will help you make that essential contribution to the environment, and you can let go of the thoughts that you are contributing to global warming.
There are a few things that you should look in to before switching to solar energy, though. The solar panels acquire energy from the sun's rays and on a 'cloudy' humid day, your AC might not work properly. Also the solar panels are not that efficient, meaning that a Solar Panel as big as an office desk produces around 250 Watts. You need to have sufficient space available on your roof for a number of panels that have to be fixed in order for your AC to start cooling, given that an AC runs on a high level of power.
So the major liming factor of whether you can run your AC on solar power is whether you can fit enough solar panels to your roof. Now that solar panels are becoming more and more efficient, it seems that within just a year or so it will be fully feasible to run your AC on solar energy. This can replace the need for other types of air conditioners such as wall-mounted air conditioners. Click here for more information.
What is a good idea for a simple solar powered toy?
I am going to create a solar powered toy for kids under 14 and am searching for ideas. Any input would be appreciated.
Can you elaborate Pensive, on the caterpillar tracks?
Goo ball thing
light sensor .
Sound sensor .
Color changer .
Caterpillar tracks as landing pad.
It could interlock with other ones if it had a sort of geometric
shape.like a tripod'y alien'y sort of with mobile solar docking station thing
Or a nice simple organic mathematical shape with a light in.
There could be a bath toy version .
If something could sense what was in the bath water it could serve
as a bath alarm.
The base unit with caterpillar tracks would be the landing pad and could have the solar power grid attached and could have features such as opaque tracks or another light .
Tracks can have interesting shapes incorporated in to them.
and could be opaque.
A feature could be a sensor that engaged an evasive maneuver to avoid been stepped on.
