Sources of energy rising, technology proven "kinetic+solar energy" pass thru transformer = high/low energy

We have free energy from the sun and free energy from the rotating 4 wheels or propellas from vehicles like submarines, motorboats, aircrafts, if we fully recycle energy to use, letting energy reproducing more energy and letting small energy to… Continue Reading

What is the next revolution in solar cells?

First generation solar cells began with a large amount of Silicon and only single junctions. Second Generation solar cells called thin film cells, began with much less Silicon. In addition first generation solar was improved with multiple junctions. Third Generation… Continue Reading

How environmentally friendly are solar cells *really*?

How much electricity is used to make a solar cell, and how much can one produce in it’s useful lifetime? Back story: I was in Japan, staying with a researcher who worked for the military. We got onto the subject… Continue Reading
