Comments for Energy Alternatives http://www.energypoweralternatives.com Getting the world aware of energy for tomorrow Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:01:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 Comment on Teaching Kids About Solar Power by ENYINDA OKEY (mr) http://www.energypoweralternatives.com/2010/02/25/teaching-kids-about-solar-power/#comment-28981 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 13:09:19 +0000 http://www.energypoweralternatives.com/2010/02/25/teaching-kids-about-solar-power/#comment-28981 I have been involved in teaching solar energy to a number students, adults, and children, in my home - Nigeria. It is amazing how people readily accept that energy from the sun can be so useful from the solar point of view, both in the solar electric and solar thermal technologies. One aspect of teaching this is to use voltmeters to measure the dc voltage that increases as the daylight increases. It helps to explain when saturation reaches and the solar module cannot generate more voltage but remains static at the peak voltage for upwards of 7 or 8 hours depending on the season. Again, use of charge controllers that eventually can switch off further charging when this saturation point is reached, and which switches the circuit back into charging if the sunlight is still there but the battery is depleted, makes a lot of sense. I can say it is fun teaching solar energy to kids, adults, and all. I have been involved in teaching solar energy to a number students, adults, and children, in my home - Nigeria.

You need to have the step-by-step process that I explain in this guide. I made it a personal mission to create the best solar panel guide available. I searched the internet for months looking for the best ideas and designs for building solar panels.Step-by-Step pictures, diagrams and schematics show you how everything is done. There is even a Video Library so you can see real solar panels being created. Learn how to take the power your solar panels create and run your household energy needs (controller, batteries, inverter, disconnects, etc). http://www.green-wind-solar.easy-go.biz/ Before you try to build you own solar/wind power, you need to have the right tools.

Those 3 days in 2009 of cheaper gas... I must have missed that... Hopefully I won't miss them this year. This is a lot of information.

Kindle DX or the upcoming QUE from Plastic logic http://www.plasticlogic.com/ which I'm planning to get. SUre the initial carbon footprint would be relatively high but at my heavy printing it would quickly make up for that. As for turning off computers, standby might be better or at least that's what I read a while back from studies by some large corporation. The start-up process takes a lot of power and I think they concluded that standby modus will save them more money over time. Probably the biggest reduction can be made with our food choices as I pointed out in my blog post http://bit.ly/6AdQmj Nice suggestions.
