We all would be familiar with this little creature which creeps so slowly and having a hard shell at its back often found in the gardens and on plants. Well, we Humans have finally figured out something positive from them as well other than creeping and amusing children.
Scientists at the Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York want to extract electricity from their blood after they have been implanted with biofuel cells. According to Evgeny Katz, the leading scientist of that team shared that the electricity is extracted from the glucose and oxygen in the snail’s blood. All they do is attach their electrodes to it and extract the power from it. This could be brought to a huge scale as the power generation likely from this source would be amazingly a new dimension.
People loving nature don’t get worried as according to scientist their would be no harm to these snails as they love to get feed and move. Now the question is, will there be farms of snails in coming future to extract energy out of their blood or will the scientist go for some huge snails breed and use them? According to Katz they would be probably preferring some bigger animals for their research in the future. Lets just hope for the best and wish them best of luck for their future researches on scaling out whole new dimension of electricity production.
Solarpower Systems for Home Needs
Don’t worry about electricity as solar power extends the helping hand to overcome the shortage at a reasonable and affordable cost. Variety of solar panels for homes are available both inbuilt with equipment and for charging purposes as per your individual need and choice.
In certain areas, especially in India, it is unsure when the power goes and comes again to lighten you up. Life without power is unimaginable of course, but there are circumstance that decides your life and a power cut for few hours can ruin the rest of your career (life).
Here are the detailed reviews of solar power operated equipments that help you out in our everyday activities of life.
Solar Lantern Lamp
Solar Lantern lamp is available from 3 to 10 watts power. There are two types – CFL bulbs and LED bulbs. This will glow continuously for 5 hours. It has to be charged from the power acquired from the solar panels. The cost of this solar power operated lantern lamp is available from Rs. 2,200 to Rs. 3,500. You will be getting warranty for the solar panel and the battery has to be changed once in two years.
Solar Study Lamp
You can trust this solar study lamp for an uninterrupted power supply without any fear of getting into darkness while you are sincerely studying for your exams. The inbuilt charger will store enough charge from the solar panel. This will serve you with power for about 5 hours. This study lamp has the facility to dim and brighten up the light levels. This is suitable for those to prefer to study during night and for students. The price range starts from Rs. 3,500, though the price seems to be little high, you can trust this for sure to have uninterrupted light.
This solar torch light looks like ordinary torch light that works with battery. The specialty about this torch light is that you don’t have to depend on solar energy to charge it up. It can be charged from inside the house under the regular electric light. The cost of this handy torch is Rs. 1,150. Comparatively the rate is not too much to complain about.
Solar garden light is opt and useful for those who build house with garden cover up. As per your need this can be stalled anywhere you need inside your garden. When you don’t have electric power this makes the atmosphere beautiful to have dinner in the garden or on top of your house, if you have enough places. Just like neon bulbs this is also available in different beautiful models and shapes. The solar panel is inbuilt inside the light itself from where it gets charged too. The cost of this garden light is maximum of Rs. 4,700.
Solar Water Heater
Solar water heater supplies hot water with no difference to the electric water heater. You will get uninterrupted hot water anytime as the solar power is connected to the 100 liter water tank. The heat will be there up to 80 degree Celsius. This is very much suitable and useful for a house having 5 persons at home. The cost of this solar water heater is from Rs. 21,000 to Rs. 25,000. 100% you can save the electricity by using this. If you calculate the expenses paid to electric bill having regular water heater added with the regular water heater’s cost, within few years the rate you spend on solar water heater will be tallied.
Solar Charger Controller
Solar Charger controller is a power controller that has the capacity of 40 watts. One fan and five bulbs can be operated using this charger controller. This needs ordinary D.C. supply. Excluding the government subsidy, this is available for Rs. 30,000. If you buy this, you can completely forget the power problem for 30 years for your home. New homes can add up this plan while building your new house.
Solar panels for homes are easily available if you are willing to store the power for your own convenience other than using these solar-powered equipments that are readily available in the market. With no doubt, switching over to the solar power, especially for homes can save not just energy but can give you the light of natural power.
- Users can turn 27 solar panel 'leaves' toward sun for faster charging
- Charges any USB device including i Phones, other smart phones and cameras
The gadget, designed by French designer Vivien Muller, takes up to 36 hours to build up enough electricity to charge a phone, depending on the weather.
Users can position each solar panel to face towards the sun so the tree charges more quickly.
The £260 Electree charger uses solar panels to charge up devices such as iPhones - and will work on a windowsill
French designer Vivien Muller got his inspiration from photosynthesis - a process which gives plants energy from the sun’s light.The amorphous silicon solar panels charge up a battery in the base, and can charge any device with a USB connector - including most digital cameras and smartphones.
The Electree takes up to 36 hours to build up enough energy to charge a phone
Mr Muller, who lives in Metz, spent three years perfecting his creation, called the Electree. It was initially designed with a silver base, but he since scaled back to a porcelain-like white one.
He said: 'I was inspired to make the Electree after observing trees - the leaves on trees are nature’s solar panels.'
The gadget's design is based on a Japanese bonsai tree - it soaks up the sun with its solar panels, collecting energy in the battery concealed in its 'roots'
The Electree comes with a 13,500 milliampere-hour battery, which collects the energy from the solar panels.The gadget, which costs 260 pounds, can also charge other ‘mobile’ devices including MP3 players though a USB connection.
It is designed to be kept inside, next to a window where it will get the most sunshine throughout the day.
The book Extra High Voltage AC Transmission Engineering covers all topics that are considered essential for understanding the operation and design of EHV ac overhead lines and Underground cables. And this book contains all theoretical analyses of all problems combined with practical applications. Every chapter in this book contains many worked examples in order to illustrate and reinforce the theory. All examples are taken from practical situations as far as possible.EHV laboratory equipment and testing are fully covered together with application of digital recorders, fibre optics, etc. for impulse measurements.
he main objective of Electric Power Engineering Handbook is to provide a contemporary overview of this far-reaching field as well as to be a useful guide and educational resource for its study. It is intended to define electric power engineering by bringing together the core of knowledge from all of the many topics encompassed by the field. The chapters are written primarily for the electric power engineering professional who is seeking factual information, and secondarily for the professional from other engineering disciplines who wants an overview of the entire field or specific information on one aspect of it.
The handbook of Electric Power Engineering is published in five volumes. Each is organized into topical sections and chapters in an attempt to provide comprehensive coverage of the generation, transformation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power and energy as well as the modeling, analysis, planning, design, monitoring, and control of electric power systems. The individual chapters are different from most technical publications.
