We’re a suburban family of 4 from Michigan. We’re interested in moving to Alaska to live using primarily passive and active solar power and wind, water, etc… Living completely off the grid isn’t a necessity for us, but isn’t out… Continue Reading
I’m not sure if it was the Aztecs or the Mayans, which were the smartest civilization to has lived, how do you think, without having the technology we have today, were they able to predict things that have happened in… Continue Reading
I know they have solar panels and they can be bought. But, does anyone know of an example of a residential or small business in new york city that uses solar power to offset some of the electrical bills. Will… Continue Reading
This is an awkward question. So let’s say you buy a solar panel and it costs you 0, and at the current price of electricity (and other factors), it will take x years for the solar panel to SAVE you… Continue Reading
Solar cell is very common these days so my question is how many cells are actually required to run a Bike or Car on this technology…. And is it possible to transfer the vehicle from petroleum into solar cell technology… Continue Reading
A color television consumes about 400 watts of power, how much area would have to be covered by photovoltaic cells at 13% efficiency to provide this power? Hint: The sun outputs about 200 watts of power per square meter on… Continue Reading
Go to one or more local stores that sell electronics equipment. Make a list of all the products you can find that are powered by solar cells. What conclusions can you make about the kinds of products that are made… Continue Reading
i need to know how many kilowatts per hour a solar panel would generate in a standard home that is not energy efficient. All i know is a 2 killowatt system genereates 6-7klowatts per hour which is enough power for… Continue Reading
Okay, so I have this question. You have a lightbulb connected to a solar panel. The lightbulb is powered until its night, if you put the already on lightbulb by the panel, will it power itself throughout the night?
Cell phone antennas use fractal geometry to received multi frequency radio signals. This also allows them to be compact (why u dont see antennas sticking out of cell phones anymore). My question is, why not use the same technology with… Continue Reading
