How to assemble stock solar panels. These are water tight panels that will not suffer water damage. Free Solar Training Video.
With the growth in demand, and hence cost of electricity, we have been lured towards soaking up some free solar energy in various ways. Solar water heater is one such device that can reduce your electricity bills by a hefty amount. However, since the cost of solar panels is high, we don’t see solar water [...]
Water, wind and sun – the most accessible and inexhaustible source of energy that nature gives to man. It is no accident to them in recent years, re-drawn the most attention as a science and industry, and creativity enthusiasts, amateur designers. Some of them created by «home» devices using wind and solar, we have already [...]

This alternator starts to charge my 48V battery bank at 120 rpm. At 200 rpm we generate just over 2000 Watts. It’s fairly exciting — it’s easy to maintain this level of power output with even the low grade wood we have around here. At this power level the alternator doesn’t hardly warm up at [...]
For a class project (PV Design, Appalachian State, Dr. Dennis Scanlin) I decided to try making a low cost PV tracker. Being able to follow the suns path through the sky can raise your system output considerably (30-50%), but the argon filled ones can be a bit pricey, and seem to be a bit unsteady [...]
SolarWall air heating system is a custom engineered solution containing many internal and external components. It uses solar energy to heat and ventilate indoor spaces in new and retrofit applications, as well as to heat air for manufacturing process and agricultural crop drying applications. The system design is optimized to maximize energy delivery with a [...]
Japanese company Genepax presents its eco-friendly car that runs on nothing but water. The car has an energy generator that extracts hydrogen from water that is poured into the car’s tank. The generator then releases electrons that produce electric power to run the car. Genepax, the company that invented the technology, aims to collaborate with [...]
Here’s a new technology that we should all keep an eye on: inflatable solar mirrors that focus the sun’s energy in one spot, collecting huge amounts of solar energy in relatively small solar panels. The mirror-panel looks like a mylar balloon you might buy your kid for his or her birthday, but it could shape [...]
