Salazar Approves Sixth and Largest Solar Project Ever on Public Lands

Department of the Interior today approved the largest solar energy project ever to be built on U.S. public lands. When constructed, the Blythe Solar Power Project will produce up to 1,000 megawatts of solar power, or enough to power 300,000 – 750,000 homes. The project, proposed by Palo Verde Solar I, a subsidiary of Solar Millennium, LLC, will cover 7,025 acres of public lands eight miles west of Blythe in Riverside County, California. It is expected to create 1,066 jobs at the peak of construction and 295 permanent jobs. “The Blythe Solar Power Project is a major milestone in our nation’s renewable energy economy and shows that the United States intends to compete and lead in the technologies of the future,” Secretary Ken Salazar said in signing the Record of Decision.

DC Air Conditioner: 12 Volt 24 volt 48 Volt DC Air Conditioners DC Solar Air Conditioning. This is the 3rd generation solar air conditioner we've all been waiting for - designed for low cost, easy installation and a fast payback.

DC Air Conditioner: 12 Volt 24 volt 48 Volt DC Air Conditioners DC Solar Air Conditioning

This unique solar air conditioning technology requires no batteries, no inverter, no controller - just plug in the solar panels and start saving up to more than 80% on daytime cooling or heating costs. During the day it runs primarily on solar power and only uses only small amounts of power from the utility company as needed. Hybrid operation eliminates the need for batteries and allows 24 hours per day use of the system. The system uses primarily uses solar power, and mixes it with normal AC power.

For home or office use, this system will cool an area for pennies with 80% or more of the energy coming from sunlight. ACDC12 solar air conditioners need no batteries, and only need two or three PV panels to deliver a huge savings. Installation. Solar Tracker Circuit Kit.

Passive Solar Tracking Having the maximum amount of absorber area directly facing the sun causes superior solar collector performance.

Solar Tracking Solar Collector, Passive Tracking with improved I

Because of their round design, Solar Panels Plus evacuated tube collectors are able to passively track the sun, meaning that they are always pointed directly at the sun and can absorb solar thermal energy evenly all day long. This is important, particularly if the heat is needed throughout the day without using a large thermal storage system. Evacuated tube solar collectors are great for everything from making plain old hot water, to solar heating, solar air conditioning, commercial water heating or manufacturing process heat.

By tracking the sun from early morning until late afternoon, more heat is generated by the collector which means that your existing energy source will be used less, saving money and helping conserve precious non-renewable resources Incidence Angle Modifier (IAM) Physics: How to Draw Parabola for Sound Amplification, reflector focus, sound amplification. Expert: Frank - 8/27/2004 QuestionHi Frank, I wish to build a small parabola dish to amplify sounds. The shape of the dish is to reflect sounds from the distance to a focal point where I can place a microphone. Do you know how I can draw the approximate shape of this parabola with string, rulers etc?

I will then try to build it using cardboard, glue etc Thanks. Usuff AnswerUsuff- It's quite easy to draw a parabola. The parabola This is a special curve that makes light coming straight into the reflector focus at a single point in front of it. ... You'll, of course, have to modify the measurements to suit your needs. With Best Wishes. Draw a Parabola, using pencil and string.
