Potential of Solar Thermal Energy Utilization in Electrical Generation
Solar parabolic concentrating collectors are widely and efficiently used in electrical generation. They were experimentally validated in worldwide pioneer plants. SEGS-VI 30 MW solar power plant built in southern California is one of these plants that was commissioned many years ago. In this work a possibility of installing such plant in Makkah, 21.4 °N located in moderate latitudes is studied....
متن کاملPigeon Homing along Highways and Exits
BACKGROUND Anecdotal observations and early airplane and helicopter tracking studies suggest that pigeons sometimes follow large roads and use landmarks as turning points during their homeward journey. However, technical limitations in tracking pigeon routes have prevented proof. RESULTS Here, we present experimental and statistical evidence for this strategy from the analysis of 216 GPS-reco...
متن کاملSolar Nuclear Energy Generation and the Chlorine Solar Neutrino Experiment
The study of solar neutrinos may provide important insights into the physics of the central region of the Sun. Four solar neutrino experiments have confirmed the solar neutrino problem but do not clearly indicate whether solar physics, nuclear physics, or neutrino physics have to be improved to solve it. Nonlinear relations among the different neutrino fluxes are imposed by two coupled systems ...

متن کاملSolar Energy Generation in Three Dimensions
We formulate, solve computationally and study experimentally the problem of collecting solar energy in three dimensions. We demonstrate that absorbers and reflectors can be combined in the absence of sun tracking to build three-dimensional photovoltaic (3DPV) structures that can generate measured energy densities (energy per base area, kWh/m) higher by a factor of 2–20 than stationary flat PV p...
