Renewable Energy At Home

For our industry due to shortage of power we have provided generator (now running with generator), machines are operating from the generator power. But we have power quality problem there, we have not installed capacitor bank to improve generator power. Do we have any problem if we add capacitor bank panels to improve generator power. [...]

I've been doing Wing Chun Kung Fu for over a year. My wife and I had our first baby a couple months ago, and ever since then I've been exhausted all the time. Before the baby was born, I was practicing every day for at least 30 minutes. But now I'm just so tired that [...]

How does the amount of chemical energy stored in plants compare to the electrical energy stored by solar panel/batteries? Most plants are around 1% efficient at turning sunlight into a useful form of energy it can use. Bamboo is probably somewhat higher. Solar panels are somewhere around 20% efficient now I think. Trees are much [...]

i live around there, no tall buildings around or anything. i was wondering if anybody has a house that has solar panels and if it works well and how much power it gives off. specs like that. The amount of electricity your house could produce depends on the roof square footage thats facing the sun [...]

I was recently discussing with someone the possibility of the government installing a cap-and-trade system on American companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I said that would be a baby step in the right direction, however I think we need a stricter solution, such as the development and eventually mandated uses of alternative energy (solar [...]

Why is the power to tax a concurrent power? Should collecting taxes remain as a concurrent power? Explain. I think it's related to the fact that taxes are collected by the city, the state and federal gov. concurrently (meaning "at the same time"). As long as the government has a local instance and a nation-wide [...]

If so, can this energy expenditure be extrapolated to determine the energy required to fly a single human being in a way similar to those of birds? I'm curious to know if the energy required for such an endeavor would be higher than what is currently used by fixed wing planes. The problem is, birds [...]

Please help w/ these questions..And provide Sources/References ! – Type of energy transformations that take place in harnessing the solar energy. – efficiency of the (solar) energy transformations – The amount of energy obtained from solar energy? Thank you ! I saw a link to Earth4Energy above. Earth4Energy is a scam, so beware. I wrote [...]

I live in india. My house has 5 ceiling fans, 1 TV, 1 refrigerator, 1 washing machine, 1 electric motor for pumping water, 1 electric iron, 1 electric heater for heating water, 8 tube lights, 6 bulbs. Also tell me how much will it cost me to have these solar panels installed in indian rupees. [...]
