Solar Power Cost Savings With Green Power!
Author: admin8 Mar
Green is in!
They are the alternative power sources of the future and now has never been a better time to invest in them. Some call them “Green” while others say “Alternative Energy.”
Save money, reduce dependence on foreign countries, and make the world cleaner.
Energy from solar or wind power is environmentally friendly. They are completely clean, easily maintained, and renewable. Unlike traditional forms of electricity production, they don’t cause pollution.
Solar home energy and, if you are in the country, windmills, will save you a lot of money over time. Sun and wind power are the power sources of the future. Free energy, clean energy.
And, now, due to some good news from the government (what a surprise) Think Green And Green Backs!
Didn’t know about them? Read on!
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RESIDENTIAL RENEWABLE ENERGY TAX CREDITS
Consumers who install solar energy systems (including solar water heating and solar electric systems), small wind systems, geothermal heat pumps, and residential fuel cell and microturbine systems can receive a 30% tax credit for systems placed in service before December 31, 2016.
And, I want to emphasize that, because of modern technology, many solar and wind energy systems are easily installed. If you are a DIYer and tired of paying exorbitant—and ever increasing—electrical bills you owe to yourself and your family to check out great, easy to build, and affordable solar and wind power, click!
Windmill Blades – Make them or Buy Them?
Author: admin20 Dec
Important Update! The United States government will help save you money to reduce your electrical bills and save the environment we live in.
So you’ve decided to build your own windmill. Great!
Possibly you took the right steps and purchased one of the top guides that teach the subject. Or maybe you’re more daring and trying to do it without professionally written instruction. In either case one area where many people get stuck is when it comes time to create their windmill blades.
Really when you get to this step you have two separate options:
1. Build them yourself – Obviously this is the least expensive route
2. Buy Premade Windmill Blades – Costs more but is a lot less work From that I wanted to take some time to talk about the advantages/disadvantages of going either way.

In reality if you put a value to your time, by the time you finish building the wind turbine blades yourself, the cost is close to equal. On the other hand, if you’re cheap like me, it might be that you’d rather do it yourself and save the money. In either case there are advantages to going either way.
Buying Your Windmill Blades First let’s cover the advantages of buying your blades. In this case they are really quite obvious.
1. The blades are professionally made
2. More varieties of materials you can buy your blades in
3. Less concern about getting the correct shape to catch the wind.
Of course there are also disadvantages to buying windmill blades instead of making them yourself. First, it becomes more difficult to tailor your blades to the generator you selected/created for your DIY windmill. And then, of course, there is the cost involved. Machined blades can run you as much as $1,000 or more. To offset that cost, you may want to check eBay. Often you can find premade blades there, in diameters of 4’ to 6’, for around $100. Making Your Own Windmill Blades
While there are advantages to buying your windmill blades, there are also some big advantages to building them yourself.
1. The blades are created with your actual windmill design in mind.
2. You save your money, and your home power system will cost less.
3. You get to choose the style of turbine blade to fit your area. Especially in low wind speed areas, this is important.
4. You get the satisfaction of telling everyone – you did it! If you do choose to build your own windmill blades, I suggest you take the time to learn about the top three wind power conversion guides. With our top pick specifically, they recently added a video that teaches that exact topic.
In any case, be sure to take the time to design your blades to fit your application. Taking the time to do so will ensure your wind mill operates trouble-free for years to come!

Solar Revolution – Sphelar : Spherical Solar Cell : DigInfo
Author: admin4 Sep
http://movie.diginfo.tv DigInfo News
Embracing the move towards renewable energy sources, Kyosemi have revolutionized the design of the traditional solar cell, increasing it’s power generation efficiency and paving the way for innovative applications and a more economical use of raw materials. Sphelar is a spherical micro solar cell, which unlike traditional flat solar cells, can effectively harness reflected and diffused solar light as well as direct light from all directions. Each cell, is 1 to 1.5 mm and can be connected in parallel or in series, allowing for a limitless range of shapes and uses including flexible solar cells, round solar cells, or power-generating windows for buildings or offices while maintaining a certain level of transparency. Also, compared to the production process for traditional solar cells there is a dramatic reduction in the amount of wasted silicon. “In the process of producing spherical spolar cells, molten silicon is used. It’s dripped from an elevated position, and crystallizes as a sphere in mid-air, so using this process no silicon is wasted in the production of solar cells.” Kyosemi have also developed the SphelarVoice which is a battery-free wireless audio optical information system that receives information via infrared rays. The SphelarVoice uses an array of LEDs to emit a light signal which is recieved by the solar cells, converted into an electrical signal on the battery-free wireless handset and sent to the speaker.

http://www.TheOnlyTrustedGuide.com/solar-panels — The “Advantages of Using Solar Panels”
presented by
TheOnlyTrustedGuide.com
There are many advantages to using solar panels.
One of the main advantages to using these panels is that you will be able to successfully produce power for your home in a method that is much easier and much less expensive.
Solar panels provide a source of power that is natural and not created.
These panels utilize the rays of the sun in order to generate power.
This means that you will save money on your electrical costs and that you will not be subjected to the pollution caused by electricity when it is produced by typical means.
Many individuals find themselves wondering if solar power will be effective if it rains, or there is cloud coverage.
The wonderful news is that today’s solar panels have the capacity to store a large amount of energy that may be used in the future – even if it is dark outside!
Incorporating solar panels into your home will officially allow you to disconnect from the “grid”.
This is also considered to be an environmentally friendly means of acquiring the power that is required for your home.
If you are interested in saving time, saving money, and saving the environment, you may successfully do so by incorporating solar panels into your home.

46″ PARABOLIC MIRROR STEAM BOILER SOLAR POWER
Author: admin29 Aug
http://www.greenpowerscience.com/
This is a big 46″ parabolic mirror with a 1M focal length. The lens can reach about 2700F max collection. Not 100% sure about those figures yet as a mount is still needed and the mirror flexes a bit.
TRUE MIRROR, NOT MYLAR.

Energia solar termica. Free hot water. Solar energy. Juanmalitri´s free water heater.
Author: admin29 Aug
Here we can see all the components of a homemade solar water heater. It’s composed by a primary circuit and a secondary circuit. The primary circuit are composed by a solar panel made of a drawer of polyestirene sandwich. Inside this drawer I installed a spiral hosepipe. The darwer and the hosepipe were black matt painted to catch more energy from the sun. The darker the paint, the hotter the water. The water that we can see surrounding de tank flows by this spiral and is heated by the sun. The punp only works when the temperature is hight enough and it works 15 min. rests 30 min, in order to save electric energy.
In the secondary circuit we have a expansion tank to protect the machine from hot water expansion, a tank from a old electric water heater (upsidedonw) is used to store 80 litres of drinking water at 45 º Celcius. The system works perfect from may to september, in Badajoz, in the south of Spain, and the rest of the year it helps the gas water heater.
Aquí podemos ver los componentes de una instalacion casera para generar agua caliente. Se compone de captador solar, depósito acumulador, vaso de expansión, bomba recirculadora, etc. Funciona perfectamente, salvo en los días nublados, cuando hay que poner el calentador de gas butano.
