solar-panel

If you don’t know much about solar technology , it’s helpful to learn the basics. This technology is very practical. Solar is a very efficient power system, and the uses for solar are endless. Wherever you need power, solar can provide it.
Solar cells- How they work:-

Converting solar energy into usable electricity is a simple process which has been around for several decades. The silicon based cells, which make up a solar panel, convert sunlight into electricity through a process known as the ‘photovoltaic effect’.

The ‘photovoltaic effect’ is a process in which ‘photons’  from the sun are absorbed and transferred to an external source (like your light globes) by your solar panels.
The amount of power your solar panels produce will vary depending on the number, configuration and orientation of the cells and the temperature and intensity of the sunlight they are exposed to.

Solar panels- How they connect and what they can do:-
Solar Cells are arranged into panels that are sized for a particular power output.

When photons collide with the cells, they excite electrons on the surface that shake loose and start a flow of electrons, or direct current (DC electricity) to an external source.

In most cases solar panels are usually mounted on the roof of houses, sheds or garages, but they can also be installed directly onto the ground.  Solar panels should be installed in the area that is exposed to the most sunlight.

A most ideal location for a solar panel is a north-facing roof inclined at 30 – 35 degrees.  Having said that an orientation within 45 degrees east or west of that will only have marginal differences in the amount of power a solar panel produces.

Being a girl from Tamil circuit, this cute smiling damsel got no fans from the Sambar Land according to buzz. The recent trade reports of her latest flick are adding fuel to these conclusions.
Samantha’s latest flick ‘Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu’ got rave reviews and more than heroes Nani (in Telugu) or Jiiva (in Tamil), only our spicy beauty got that critical acclaim for brilliant performance.

According to trade buzz, the Telugu version of the flick collected around 1 crore in the overseas circuit, while the Tamil version made only 53 lakhs. That means, Telugu version is doing two hundred percent better than Tamil version. Analysts felt that Samantha magic is working only on Telugu people but not on other circuits. In that case, we have to accept the fact that Sam had no fans in Tamil state.

It is really a surprise that the Tamil version ‘Nethane Yen Ponvasantham’ is doing very average despite the presence of top star like Jiiva and director Gautham Menon. We have to see how the final collections will be.

Ways-of-Successful-Technology-Implementation

Many ways of success implementation:-

Leadership must provide active and committed support — financial, logistical, and moral.
1 ) A technology program is only going to succeed when school boards, school superintendents, and school principals commit to it in word and deed. That support would take the form of practical allocations in terms of all necessary release time and training for teachers and administrators.

The best leadership must work to supply and maintain an “appropriate environment” that will function as fertile ground for educationally sound outcomes. The teacher is a member of the leadership team too, and should be equally committed to technology-integrated education.

2) Selling is better than telling. Everyone needs to buy into the change that technology brings.
The best leadership establishes an environment in which expected outcomes occur spontaneously. Technology should never be forced on teachers; its use should never come as a mandate from on high.

Teachers must be given the opportunity to prepare for the kind of change that computer-based technology brings. The best leadership therefore enables teachers to become the best that they can be through consultation, collaboration, communication, support, respect, and encouragement.

3) Invest in, and train, a core team of teacher-computerizes.
Teacher-computerizes are men and women who are committed to using computer-based educational technology, and who have been given the opportunity to gain a sufficiently high level of expertise to qualify them to act as role models, advisers, and trouble shooters in matters having to do with computer-based educational technology.

In every school, there should be one or more teacher-computerizes, the number depending on the size of the school and, of course, on the school’s commitment to educational computing.

New-Home

A number of new technologies are being employed in newly built homes. These include improved robotic vacuum cleaners that integrate with the home layout, home appliances that interface with mobile computers, wet rooms, under floor heating, heated driveways, and ethanol fireplaces.

One recent innovation in home cleaning is the laser robot vacuum. Earlier robotic vacuum cleaners simply wandered around the house bumping into things, but laser robot vacuum cleaners can scan the house and make an internal map of it.

Heating and cooling systems such as geothermal ground source heating are great solutions for under floor heating. Geothermal heat pumps use the ground as a heat sink in the summer, and borrow heat from it in winter. The cooling system can use refrigerant, natural groundwater, or a combination of the two.

Wet rooms are a structural redefinition of the modern bathroom. The wasted space typical of in a separate shower stall and bathroom setup is eliminated; essentially, the entire room is a shower. This increases shower space while making the bathroom easier to keep clean. The floor is built at an appropriate gradient so that all water seeps into the drain.

Nayak Movie Stills(2)

VV Vinayak directed on Nayak movie audio relese date, starring Ram Charan, is going to release for Sankranti, according to its producer Danayya.

He said that the film had reached its last leg of shoot. The audio release is planned in a big way in the presence of fans in Hyderabad on December 16. “The film is going to be a very special film not only to me and to Vinayak, but the lakhs of fans of mega star family,” he said.

“The audience will see a new Ram Charan in Nayak. He will make the audience remind the timeless legacy of megastar in some sequences.For the first time in his carer Ram Charan will be seen in dual role and SS Thaman has composed the music. VV Vinayak is the director and DVV Danayya is producing Nayak under Universal Media banner. Kajal and Amala Paul are big assets to the film as they have come out with their best onscreen romantic moments,” he said.

Referring to the story of Nayak, VV Vinayak said: “There are a number of people who dominate public for no good reason, but with money, power and muscle. They are not leaders. A true leader would just emerge from the masses. This is the story.”

Solar_Power

Scientists at an American university have unveiled a revolutionary new technology that uses nanoparticles to convert solar energy directly into steam that could be used for sanitation and water purification in developing countries.

The new “solar steam” method is so effective it can even produce steam from icy cold water, said inventors from the Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP) at Rice University in Houston, Texas.

The new technology has an overall energy efficiency of 24%. Photovoltaic solar panels, by comparison, typically only have an overall energy efficiency around 15%, said the university.

The inventors said they expect the first uses of the new technology will not be for electricity generation but rather for sanitation and water purification in developing countries.

“This is about a lot more than electricity,” said LANP director Naomi Halas, the lead scientist on the project.

“With this technology, we are beginning to think about solar thermal power in a completely different way,” said Halas.

The efficiency of solar steam is due to the light-capturing nanoparticles that convert sunlight into heat. When submerged in water and exposed to sunlight, the particles heat up so quickly they instantly vaporize water and create steam.

Halas said the solar steam’s overall energy efficiency can probably be increased as the technology is refined.

“We’re going from heating water on the macro scale to heating it at the nanoscale,” Halas said.

“Our particles are very small – even smaller than a wavelength of light – which means they have an extremely small surface area to dissipate heat. This intense heating allows us to generate steam locally, right at the surface of the particle, and the idea of generating steam locally is really counterintuitive.”

Rice graduate student Oara Neumann videotaped a solar steam demonstration in which a test tube of water containing light-activated nanoparticles was submerged into a bath of ice water. Using lens to concentrate sunlight onto the near-freezing mixture in the tube, Neumann showed she could create steam from nearly frozen water.

Steam is one of the world’s most-used industrial fluids. About 90 percent of electricity is produced from steam, and steam is also used to sterilize medical waste and surgical instruments, to prepare food and to purify water.

Most industrial steam is produced in large boilers, and Halas said solar steam’s efficiency could allow steam to become economical on a much smaller scale.

Another potential use could be in powering hybrid air-conditioning and heating systems that run off of sunlight during the day and electricity at night.
