Solar Energy Concentrator

[cepedaruben1]

We like to have energy supplied at will. We would need the sun twenty four seven for this contraption to be practical and we all know that this isn't going to happen. So this is not a good idea for most of us. Also how will it follow the constant movement of the sun by itself? This is something already thought up many moons ago or in this case many suns ago. Come up with a brighter idea utilising what you already have add a solar battery pack and a powered servo motor to at least follow the sun.

[oboydetes]

Очень хорошо. Понятно. Дочке очень понравилось.

[haiderbird2000]

very nice

[remboy3000]

Renewable resources should be used for the energy that we use primarily today. Fossil fuels should be like back up energy or something. But why isn't it happening? It seems like a good idea, or am I missing something?

[sylverdrag]

Hum, so a solar plant the size of a small city in the desert (an area which receives a very large amount of sun energy) is barely enough to power a small city today? This is so typical of "solutions" made without understanding the real magnitude of the problem. We need a solution that can produce 100 times our current energy consumption. Not a "solution" that can barely keep up with our current needs and requires more land than we use for producing our food and lodging.

[moecat1000]

@sylverdrag there is always one nay sayer..if your not helping shutup

[FarquharDingleberry]

@moecat1000 Pointing out flaws is helping, it allows sensible people to pause, reconsider the arguments, perhaps change their minds or consider points of improvement on their existing plans. Your disregard for sylverdrag's comments by branding her\him a naysayer is very narrowminded.

[pnewcombutt]

@FarquharDingleberry

He said it in a condescending way (from my perspective), so he got a condescending answer. Simple as that.

[MetalSpiral]

Remember kids, say no to fossil fuels!

[lunafringe10]

During the days of british rule the US paid 1 Dollar for a barrel of oil. And who got rich? The Rockefellers. What did Iraq get out of it? What is Nigeria getting out of BP? Poverty. What did the gulf of Mexico get out of BP? Sheer destruction, War, chaos, poverty, The oil and cash flow is lopsided, Those are enough reasons to turn away from oil, But for the profiteers it s the reason to hang on to oil as long as possible,

[lunafringe10]

hydrogen cell has been tested now for 20 years by german car makers, For some reason they dont want to produce them, Putin is sneering because he needs customers for his oil and gas, How fast do we have to go in cars? Industry is capable of dealing with any problem. The longer we wait the more we debit future generations, The ecological footprint is too large at present, Oil is far too expensive, Look at those oil conglomerates and the sheiks, They bath in money, That money is needed elsewhere

[absolicon]

See this technology in a real product developed, search for Absolicon

[jmr1068204]

So what happens when you have millions of homes that need power, and it's coming a hurricane or there is a rain system going through for 3 days or more? No sun...and I'm not sure that batteries charged by such a device like this would be able to sustain such a load for days. They would be out of power on the first day...

[LimboGeezer]

sun provides energy ? wow ! plants and animals on this planet already knew that for millions of years , we finally got it after 10.000 years !

[aztecsolarpwr]

A great effort has been put into making the device. Being in the business of providing solar energy solutions, we really believe that such videos would help in creating a solar awareness.

[nhickvicky]

thanks for the lesson...and the background music is really convincing

[immo1337rtal]

i congratulate you. you "invented" the parabolic reflector. this things were known before the 70s >_>

[datzfast]

@immo1337rtal so you imply he is not allowed to show this to anyone because your not excited with it? well i dont really care when it was invented i wanted to see one right now and so im glad i got to see it.

[immo1337rtal]

@datzfast

i imply that your a fag

how the fuck could i be excited with something known to man for mor than 40 goddamn years >_>

if you want to see one just look at the roofs and... oh wtf is this? dish antennas are parabolic reflectors :O!!1 how can this be?

even frontlights of cars are fucking formed like this >.<

don't fucking troll me if you don't have a goddamn fucking clue what the fuck youre talking about douche

[datzfast]

@immo1337rtal douche is fag vocabulary. also your a very hateful person.

[immo1337rtal]

@datzfast

thanks datzfast, without your professional help i would have never known this essential bother in my life :'(

you know what?.

fuck you.

[datzfast]

@immo1337rtal im still getting hate mail from you. please stop stalking

[immo1337rtal]

@datzfast

a twat trying to steal the last word from me without any good reason, just hiding in the shadows of my "hate"

it's not stalking, i just want you to shut the fuck up cuz your sheer existence is annoying cO

[datzfast]

@immo1337rtal oh now i cant exist great . Are you coming after me? i can call the police.

[immo1337rtal]

@datzfast

yeah i'm going to your house and slice you in pieces cO

cant believe someone actually takes flamewars serious

and since your just a little random i wouldnt ever have taken note from you if you wouldnt have replied to my comment.

if you would stop do this you would be dead in my eyes and i could live on in peace and with pink clouds everywhere

get the fuck real you freak cO

[datzfast]

@immo1337rtal now you want to kill me,censorship acheieve by murder. this just keeps getting spooky.

[immo1337rtal]

@datzfast

you're such a fucking nuisance >_<

this shit aint fucking be real theres no way for me to harm you by any kind of physical means cO

please just fuck the shut up and just accept that your laughable try to outsmart me failed ;_;

[bootsonbeaches]

@immo1337rtal But it sure is a damn fun way to make toast!!! Rock and roll woo hoo!

[lunafringe10]

we dont need oil, all alternative energy sources are already in place,

[datzfast]

@luna fringe 10 well they are not in place. and even if they were my truck burns gasoline. But i have insulation in my 6000 sq foot house called isocyanate a petroleum product that enables me to have a lower electric bill than you have. the roads are paved with asphalt another oil product. did you misspeak?

[lunafringe10]

@datzfast thats cool, Some ppl just think about how to make this planet a better place, It just cant be that the environment is ruined by the profit makers and reap profits at our expense, New tech is in place, Oil and nuclear systems are outdated and represent an outdated tech, We need to go forward, To the future, Your truck burns oil and we have to inhale it, Is that fair? to get cancer because your truck wants oil, I dont think so

[lunafringe10]

@datzfast the problem is that with all things.., every resource and idea is being harnessed by crooks and criminals and corrupt politicians to fill their own pockets,

thats the sole reason why oil still has this unwanted importance, We dont need it,

your truck could run on electricity as well, but u d rather poison the environment with ur stinking and harmful gases,

[datzfast]

@lunafringe 10 co2 is odorless colorless gas and can be found in soda pop. the fizzy bubbles that tickle your tongue is co2. i think i drive my gas powerd truck to town and get one. LOL i dont need one but i will enjoy one.

[datzfast]

@lunafringe10 you can drive your electric car for a nice cup of warm tea. LOL

[captinseperoth]

@lunafringe10

and the king of alternative energy,is appearing on the sun rise!

not solar

FUSION!

The sun,which is a giant fusion power plant,produces so much energy that in one second,it produces the same amount of energy the USA consumes in millions of years!

It produces so much energy,the waste product is heat,and light which powers these cute panels,and keeps the world alive!

also very little waste product,compaired to fission or "evil, satanic" atomic energy.

look up Thorium fuel!

[osimnod]

@lunafringe10 -- On what fuel does your vehicle run? There is a place for wind and solar, primarily for off-grid, remote and rural locations. Even with battery back-up, the intermittent, uncontrollable and unpredictable nature of these inputs don't lend them well to base-load, on-demand power requirements. PHEVs still need to be plugged in for recharging and their range is restrictive. You must keep in mind power density and capacity factor.

[lunafringe10]

@osimnod vehicles can even run on solar energy, it produces electricity, As you well know, german scientists made military vehicles run on wood. I even heard they can run on water, But its just as well the industry doesnt want it, Or else we d be dying of thirst, Cause there wouldnt be anymore of it

[osimnod]

@lunafringe10 -- OK, what is the range of these "solar" vehicles? How long does it take to recharge them? What provides the electricity to recharge them? Putin just made fun of you Germans by stating you'd need to get your wood from Siberia, rather than use natural gas or nuclear power for electricity generation. Do you really want to chop down trees to run vehicles? And please show me these 'water-run" vehicles. Don't be so silly.

[seachordjr]

@osimnod

Can't run on water, we would suck our planet dry.

[CalSolarEng]

Great explanation of solar and why its so important we look to renewable energies. I love it when things get linked back to physics. Thanks!

[alennna]

haha this man still thinks that oil is "fossil fuel"

[ulizes1313]

thanyou

[sweettina2]

Thank you, you make it easy to understand. LOVE the curved mirror to cook something! Sharing.

[tempranight]

4:22 = Burning HotDog! :D

[wretchedwon]

could you multiply the sun light further by using a concentrator to focus light on something like a magnifying glass?

[321ozzy]

@wretchedwon

If you try to concentrate the concentrated light again, you might get an extreme narrow focal point with a similar high temperature.

If you use a parabolic mirror or other sun concentrators, they work as magnifying glasses.

Another use of solar power to cook is Fresnel lenses; you can fry food with them.

Good luck.

[datzfast]

@321ozzy take a real cold day and open your door 2 times to get your food and you might have lost energy rather that gained it. BUT the energy of the sun is great months of the year i get enough solar gain i dont need heat at night or day. i watching this to learn to cook food when the power goes off forever.

[321ozzy]

@datzfast

I am sorry, but what exactly are you trying to tell me?

Try making use of punctuation, instead of chatting about 10 different issues in aparently 1 sentence.

I do not have central heating, so I do not lose energy I spent on heating up the house.

If you are interested in learning how to solar cook, you should join the solar cooking club on y a h o o

[datzfast]

@321ozzy he he

[321ozzy]

@datzfast

You're welcome.

The group provides you with lots of useful information regarding solar cooking.

[simpleplanos]

Hey, i'm working on a school project, and i´m trying to make a car moved by solar energy. do you think I could aplicate this method to the project to get more power from the sun?

by the way...nice video (and sorry for my english, im portuguese)

[Dummerd]

I think it would explode. LMFAO

[lejink]

love ur videos!! just came across ur channel, cant wait to go through all of them

[zeinbrug]

if you mixed hydrogen and ethanol fuel it woulhd probly more effenit than solar or wind but it woulhd highley voliatle.

[D0g63rt]

@zeinbrug

Yes it would be volatile, no it would not be good fuel.

[ronprivat]

Simple and brilliant!

[bluefly46]

This is not so simple for the underprivileged. How long has the system been developing the need for Dependency??? Teach compassionately and the word will spread far and wide... Everyone needs to learn what they can do with their own hands using the simplest materials. Currently I am working on photovoltaic rubber to transfer dc in conjunction with an air battery. Praise the Universe and the wisdom to create!

[nathan1us]

Don't have to pay for the electric bill lol

[margoliesmedia]

what if everyone had something like this on their roof. mmm

[Omnishredder]

easy you can make them with everyday tin foil and curved box and you are away and it costs little to make srsly and then costs more for a pv cell

[ANDREASRACH]

well done-make it public

[eddiequest3]

GREAT VID. You know - I never really understood what a "joule" was before. Thank you.

[alexonian96]

that was a very informative video and has many uses

[rsuthe00]

I like it, I like it a lot.

[Chavalierdeon]

elegance

[samuri8000]

u guys r asome

[neven01]

Yes you can use it for sterling motors look up you tube greenpowerscience hes done wonders with these and lenses to increase the solar output

[heven729]

Excellent video like always! Thanks for the great info!

[notscooter952]

Gotta love optics.

[zeropointprophet]

can you use the heat to operate a sterling motor?

[stewieX]

absolutely, in fact there already is a power plant called Plataforma Solar de Almería in Spain that takes advantage of a parabolic dish to direct sunlight onto a Sterling Engine.

[zeropointprophet]

interesting
