To spur growth of the solar industry and support education, Dow Corning was a sustaining sponsor of the US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011, in Washington, DC The Solar Decathlon is an award-winning program that challenges 20 collegiate teams to design, build, and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive. The sponsorship included overseeing the creation of educational resources that will help strengthen middle school students’ understanding of solar energy and sustainability and the importance of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

The digital controller is the brain of a SunMaxx solar hot water or heating system. SunMaxx offers a number of industry-leading solar hot water and heating sytsem controllers. These controllers read the temperatures at the solar collector and inside the storage tank. When heating of the tank is needed, and the collectors can provide the heat, the controller will activate the circulator pump(s), and vice-versa. The solar controller handles all of this automatically.

www.dinglefoundation.com Daniel Dingle’s HHO Generator can also be used to generate free electrical energy from ordinary tap water. As you will see in this video, when the cell is full of water it generates the electricity to power an electric light. He then siphons out the water and the unit will no longer power the lamp. He refills it with water once again and again it lights the lamp. By using a mains voltage inverter this unit can be used to power a small cooker or television set for approximately three months before it needs refilling with water again. Connect several of these units together in parallel to generate more power output and you wouldn’t need very many units to generate 5 Kw which is enough electricity to power the average small home! Why has this technology been suppressed by the IMF and the Wold Bank since 1968 when Daniel first invented it..? Free the suppression of free energy technologies today!
Energy Park atop Kailasagiri, the best known tourist spot in the Visakhapatnam city. The Energy Park throws light on use of solar energy and has practical demonstration on its benefits. The park is the first of its kind in the State. The park would be an educative experience for visitors, particularly youth and students. Solar water heater, cooker, radio and the use of solar energy for functioning of TV and lights will be demonstrated. Apart from the solar energy demonstration, it has good landscaping.
Advances in turbine technology mean that greater capitalisation can be made in the field of renewable energy through wind power. As leaders in the field of clean power, Alstom Power have developed the ECO 100 and ECO 110 wind turbines, which have the advantages of 3MW of power output, longer working life and start up in low winds. This video looks at how the ECO 100 wind turbine is constructed and the technology behind it. Visit Alstom Power’s website: www.alstom.com
