Green Oil Anyone?
Something is brewing in Mexico, and it’s not just the dreaded Swine Flu. Sustainable energy will be harnessed to harvest a conventional energy source. Thanks to a new innovation, solar energy will be used to pump petroleum from a Mexican oil well.
A solar electric system will be connected to an existing oil pump. This will be [...]
Harnessing Clean Energy: Wind Power
Wind power might be invisible to the eye, but it can potent when correctly harnessed. Wind has been a source of energy for a long time. Even 4,000 years ago, it was used by the Chinese and by the Babylonians to power pumps for irrigation.
Converting a Car to Biodiesel
A car running on biodiesel can save a lot of gas for its owner. Not only that, but this alternative fuel emits less carbon dioxide, making it more environmentally friendly than an engine which runs on conventional fossil fuel.
A regular car, running with a diesel engine, can run on biodiesel, which is a non-petroleum based [...]
The Uses of Fuel Cells
An Alternative Energy Solution
It is a well known fact that fuel cells are a potential alternative to the internal combustion engine. In fact, even though fuel cells are still in their pilot stages of development, many car manufacturers have prototype vehicles that operate on fuel cells. The application of fuel cells is, however, far wider than [...]
Fuel Cells, an Alternative Energy Source to Power our Nation
What are fuel cells?
Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that combine hydrogen and oxygen in order to produce electricity.
During the power generation cycle, water and heat are produced as a by-products. This is a far more ideal byproduct than the unclean emissions which are created by other methods of generating electricity.
Fuel Cells will operate and generate power so long [...]
Good Ways to Save Energy
It’s a fact that the average American family spends more than $1,600 a year on their home utility bills. Because Energy has been “cheap” for a long time, we have not given energy efficiency the amount of attention it deserves.
But with fuel prices rising, and the value of the dollar decreasing, its about time to start [...]
Solar Hot Water
Solar hot water heating systems are an effective way of conserving energy and reducing your energy bill.
Contrary to popular belief, solar water heating is not a new technology. Solar water heating systems have been used commercially for over a century now, with the first commercial water heater (the Climax Solar-Water Heater) going on sale in 1891 [...]
Solar Chargers & Clean Energy
While solar battery chargers have existed for decades, it is only in the past few years that their popularity seriously increased. In part, this is because of advancements in technology. It is also a result of our increased awareness of our need to shift to cleaner energy sources.
Advancements in technology have reduced the sizes and weights [...]
Global Warming
There seems to be a lot of controversy about global warming these days. Some say it is a fact, others say it isn’t. But regardless of whether or not it is a fact, let’s step aside from the arguments on the subject, and take a common-sense approach. let’s take look at the issues involved.
What is Global Warming?
