The Advantages of Biofuels
Oil prices have a great impact on everyone. Every time there’s an increase, people feel it, even if they don’t drive a car. Some suggest we use biofuel to lessen the impact of the rising fuel costs.
But what is biofuel, and how does it differ from fossil fuel?
Biofuel is produced from recycled elements of the food chain, [...]
The Differences Between Alternative Energy, Renewable Energy, & Clean Energy
To most people, the differences between “alternative energy,” “renewable energy,” and “clean energy,” might not be obvious. But each term is unique.
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal Energy is created by harnessing heat which flows from within the Earth. The term “geothermal” is derived from the Greek words “geo,” meaning “earth,” and “thermos,” or “heat.”
How does Geothermal Energy Work?
Hot water or steam from within the earth can be used to heat establishments, or to produce electricity. It is one source of renewable energy [...]
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 [...]
Biodiesel
Oil and its alternatives, such as biodiesel, are continuously in the news. When oil prices go up, it seems that everyone is affected. Many countries’ economies depend on oil. And this is one reason why people are looking for a cleaner and cheaper alternatives to our conventional fossil fuels.
One of these alternative forms of energy is biodiesel.
What [...]
Thin Film Solar Panels
What are thin film solar panels, and what could possibly be so exciting about them?
Thin film solar panels operate in the same manner that regular solar panels do, the only difference being that they are a lot thinner and require far less materials and energy for construction.
This might not sound extremely spectacular, but in fact it is. [...]
Solar Ink
Have you ever heard of solar ink? Well, there are some really smart people out there, creating some really smart inventions, and this is one of them.
There is No Energy Shortage on Earth
There is no energy shortage on earth, there is a shortage in technology to harvest the energy available on earth.
To put things in perspective – the sun delivers [...]
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 [...]
Photovoltaic Cells
As the world advances, new technologies arise – or, in some cases, older technologies are exhumed and improved upon.
Although most people are under the impression that the field of photovoltaics is a new subject, based on recent invention, this is not actually the case. But first of all lets take a look at what “photovoltaic” means.
The word “photovoltaics” can [...]
Plug ‘n Play Solar Chargers
With the recent introduction of plug-n-play solar chargers into the market, solar power is within the reach of just about anyone. You no longer have to be a technician or a tech savvy “do-it-yourself-er,” to be able to harness solar energy.
What exactly is a plug-n-play solar charger? In its simplicity, it’s usually a solar panel combined [...]
