Dose any one know where i can get a blue print of the solar cooling system?


I saw the one i want and it is off of the show “Invention Nation” from the science channel the “Smart Living” episode.

There are 3 types of solar air-conditioning systems:

1. Absorption refrigeration. This system requires solar concentrators to be of any applicable efficiency. They are expensive and uncommon.

2.Photovoltaic Compressor. This system uses a typical compressor type air conditioner but user photovoltaic power. These are uncommon because it would take $30,000 in solar panels to offset the typical air-conditioner. Occasionally units use a solar panel to power the fan to make the unit appear green, while the fan is a very small portion of its power consumption.

3. Photovoltaic-Dual stage evaporative cooler. This system uses 2 solar panels to power a fan. It works like a swamp-cooler but

what are the waste products of solar energy?


what waste products does solar energy have

If you are asking at the source i.e., at the sun, it would be helium and other larger molecules which are formed from the progressive nuclear fusion of smaller atoms staring with Hydrogen atoms as the raw material. But I really doubt if they can be called “waste” as traditionally “waste” is something “undesirable” created by a man-made process – the fusion happening in the Sun is not a man-made process, neither can we term the fusion products as “undesirable” from human perspective.
If you are talking of waste products generated by “using” solar energy on the earth, well there are literally none during the usage of solar energy. However, the wastes generated during manufacture of the solar cells/panels and their support apparatus like circuit boards/batteries/invertors and

solar energy international energy facts

It has long been observed and proven that nature has already provided man with enough resources for energy—sunlight, geothermal heat, tides, and wind. Because these energy are abundant, in fact, so abundant that they could be replenished perpetually, they have come to be known as renewable energy.

Though extended discussions about renewable energy and its sources can become winded and more complex, every average person interested enough should at least know the basics in order to grasp the concept of how incredibly beneficial these energy sources are.

Man has long harnessed the power of wind and had applied it for practical purposes, albeit in smaller scale such as the power produced in windmills. Current technologies had long converted these simple renewable energy mechanisms to develop wind farms that generate energy supply without the associated risk of pollution. A lot of wind

solar industry magazines

the bp magazine is an international magazine of the bp  (british petroleum) group, which is based in the united kingdom.  it reports from its home country.  it is a quarterly publication.

to trace out the history of the bp group, it was a merger between bp with amoco and arco (both of which were giants in the u.s. energy industry), and also with sohio.  all under the one or same banner, started or began their journey as part of john d. rockefeller’s standard oil trust in the late 19th century.  today, 40% of the present bp’s staff, business, profits and achievements are from the u.s.

i deem it relevant to furnish the full contact address of the group:  bp p.l.c., chertsey road, sunbury – on – thames, middlesex, tw 16 7 ln, u.k.  their web address is : www.bp.com/bpmagazine.  while the managing editor is barbara peen whose mail id is : peenb@bp.com,
