Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaic's (PV), or indirectly with concentrated solar power (CSP), which normally focuses the sun's energy to boil water which is then used to provide power. Other technologies also exist, such as Sterling engine dishes which use a...

When using water to boil anything in a pan, make sure that you only use as much water as is needed to cover the amount of food you’re cooking - one of the most common forms of energy wastage is the energy it takes to boil water you don’t need. ...
Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly with concentrated solar power (CSP), which normally focuses the sun's energy to boil water which is then used to provide power.

Central cooling systems generate heat that must be rejected outside the building, a cooling tower is commonly used for this purpose. All cooling towers function as large heat exchangers, transferring heat from the condenser side of the chiller to the outside air by spraying the hot water through...
Wood required to Boil a Litre of WaterThe energy to heat one litre of water ( 1 kg) with specific heat 4.2 kJ/kg oC from 20 oC to boiling 100 oC can be calculated with the heating equation q = m cp dt (1) where q = heat (J, Btu) m = mass of water (kg, lb) cp ...

1. The reflector type of solar power, which uses a mirrored dish to focus sunlight to boil water to drive a generator. 2. Using sunlight to heat a thermocouple which drives a current. Both of these are larger than your typical solar cell and are not really that efficient – yet. A sol...

renewable energy (RE = wind + solar) per capita for a number of European countries that I have reproduced below. I thought this was one of the most interesting charts I’d seen for a while and wanted to write a post on it, but Dave Rutledgeposting at Judith Currybeat me to it. ...
