Depending on where a solar panel is installed, dirt and dust buildup can seriously impact efficiency.
Cleaning a few solar panels, on your home, to increase efficiency might not seem like a big deal. After all, we’re talking perhaps a...
Yesterday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the highly anticipated second for this year report. The document, found to be the most comprehensive assessment done to date, warns that global warming is irreversible and humans will never...
Looking at the number of fonts these days, it’s a wonder that the most-universally accepted font happens to be Times New Roman. Still, could a simple font change make any difference?
Some say that the font you choose says a...
The further you get from civilization, the more that renewable energy looks like a great idea, but renewable energy without a backup plan doesn’t lend itself to reliability.
Right now, most off-grid operations, such as a remote villages, research outposts,...
Modern vehicles contain, on average, over 300 pounds of plastic. Of course, most modern plastics are made from petroleum, which opens up a whole new world of pollution and emissions.
Plastic pollution, not only from its manufacture, but also from...
New invention, designed by a group of students, might just be what the world needs in order to eliminate plastic bottles and solve the problem of extreme pollution once and for all. The secret- a new water/liquid bubble-like container...
If you did not believe that eating meat and dairy products worsens climate change, scientists from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, can now prove it to you. In a study, just published in the journal Climatic Change, the team...
Aircraft engines, specifically the turbojets that are used on aircraft from the humble passenger plane to the monstrous C-17, burns millions of tons of fuel every year, meaning fuel efficiency is a major concern.
Of course, aircraft fuel efficiency isn’t...
To be clear, all light, visible and invisible, is radiation, and solar cells react to this radiation by producing an electric current.
Silicon solar cells, however, aren’t well-known for being reactive to infrared radiation, at least not very effectively. Silicon...
Pluvia is made of a microturbine, 12-volt rechargeable batteries, generator, pipe, pump, charcoal filter and a storage tank.
Rain has received quite a bit of attention over the past decade or so, as the effects of climate change on the Earth's...
