projects. The DOE SBIR Phase I and II programs provided seed funding for commercialization of UST’s Resonance Ultrasonic Vibration (RUV) system for solar and fuel cell applications [7, 8]. Proprietary RUV technology [9] was initially developed for photovoltaic…

Solar Energy has had a complicated history in America, but it has been growing steadily throughout President Barack Obama 's tenure as president. During the Energy Crisis in the 1970s President Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed on the White House, but within just a few years President Ronald Reagan removed them. Meanwhile, other countries like Germany, Japan, and Italy greatly expanded their solar industries, leading them to far surpass America 's. While solar has had a difficult history…

The Minimum Standard of Solar Energy Energy sources are the center of political debates at state and local levels of government. When communities, organizations, and political entities give their opinions, there will be issues arising from many directions. Choosing the most appropriate energy source, in terms of sustainability, cost efficiency, and economic prosperity is a complex task. Choosing what to incentivize and what to get away from is a more realistic approach. For the state of Colorado…

Solar energy is a promising field for an efficient renewable energy source. However, for the time being solar energy isn’t as dependable as oil and other unrenewable sources, mainly because of the lack of efficiency in converting that sunlight into electricity in solar cells. In these past 10 years, there have been big improvements on the efficiency of solar cells, especially in thin film solar cells. Solar cells are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. The uses of solar cells may…

Solar energy is a radiant light and heat from the Sun harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, solar thermal energy, etc .Solar energy is the best alternative energy resource for the Bronx because it 's is easily accessible. It also saves electricity, and it is a renewable source. However it may not be cost effective and cannot be used with weather other than sunny. Solar energy has multiple advantages, it also has disadvantages that can easily be fixed. One…

Innovating Building material Solar –thermal cladding (solar activated façade) The innovating building material I am going to write about is The Solar –thermal cladding . This type of cladding is the new type of cladding whereby solar panels are added to the cladding to form a more efficient and sustainable materials for all sorts of buildings. ( Eco building pulse, 2016) This is a new style where by the solar panels are hidden and are covered by materials such as wood , at this moment in time…

Solar Updraft Towers Solar updraft towers were designed as an alternative to other current energy sources that are nonrenewable by using kinetic energy to transfer heat. The technology in a solar updraft tower is that it incorporates a large greenhouse-type structure, referred to as a collector, which generates heat from the sun and transfers the heat by convection out of a tall chimney tower that is at the center of the structure. As hot air rises and evacuates from the top of the tower, a…

Whenever people think about art they imagine famous paintings and drawings done in the past by famous artists around the world. However, there is an art style that is relatively new and eye appealing for me. It is called kinetic art. The article that I chose for this essay is called “Kinetic art to be displayed in science building” by Emma Klitzke. It is published by the University Wire of Carlsbad. Furthermore, the article was written on March 16, 2017. I used the ProQuest database in order to…

Renewable energy are a source of green energy, environment friendly, but more important in the socio economic aspect, especially since they provide thousands of green job opportunities, and can lead to a new regional industrial cluster. Solar energy is artlessly the energy produced directly by the sun and collected in the earth. The sun produces its energy by a thermonuclear process that transforms about 650,000,000 tons of hydrogen to helium every second. The process creates heat and…
