  • outstanding video! =) it is good to hear that student are gaining interest in developing solar panels so that we can maximize its capabilities...

  • the research was originally for night vision which is to utilize the IR to see at night using nano paticles named "Quantum dots ", and then they shift it to produce electrons out of IR which is electricity!!! where are they now ?

  • cunts

  • I feel that this is very unlikely for the next 10 years at least. I mean how could this really by true. Where would the electricity run to from the paint? The whole thing is obviously a load of horse shit. How much harder can you jerk my balls off? Come on....

  • Comment removed

  • I hope someone can finance his theory.It might be a big leap in technology.

  • wew

  • Is this available worldwide?

  • again, I volunteer my house for your next experiment , let's infect a nation with solar!

  • This has been out for years but the Government isnt going to let it out it would cut their corporate bosses out of money

  • Looking at videos today. I like the clip, nice job, have a look at my Home Wind Turbine videos and subscribe or friend me if you like. My patent pending system won a Green Design Contest, check it out.

    Thanks, Sam

  • Problem being, do you really think the government will allow a product onto the market that is cheap and basically be feasibly capable of taking people off the grid ?

    Government through the FDA , EPA and many other famous "red tape" organizations or extensions of government have interfered before with life changing products making thier way to the public. HEAT also gives off infrared as well, so are you saying a campfire might someday power a house by night ?

  • Great like the sound of this would love to sell it when its out :-)

  • Here's my idea:

    Make this the same color as spray on tan, then stupid spray-on-tan people will be able to benefit society by generating power.

  • why are there lots of people bitching about big oil companies, they're the ones who make ur lives simpler. only jealous because they're successful

  • @dzgfdg probably because oil companies are so big, rich and powerful that they do not need to care and they dont care about anything except they profit.

    And if you think they make ur life simpler i would recomend you to reasearch a bit better, just because everything runs on oil it's a causeing more problems then u think. They indeed have alots of cash but it doesnt mean they succesful in what they doing.

  • @gatheringwithin truthfully i would like to see climate change in its final form, so all life would die out. too bad it aint goin to happen in my time. but hey, we got nuclear bombs to do it for us.

  • @dzgfdg its not only about climate change, but also about all the chemical waste that goes in to water destroying many ecosystem and a source of fresh water and food that this ecosystem were providing for people and animal in the region, the other think is of cause air pollution so astmas and all other relatedf health issues and so on..... and additionally the main reason for clilamt change arises from very high activity of sun which right no is crazy, so it may all happend within ur life time

  • @dzgfdg so they keep us under control and you want us to parade for them ??? we dont need oil , they want us to depend on it . read more about this topic and you will be surprise.

  • @joerond u didnt understand my comment. i want humans to die

  • @dzgfdg dont worry be happy cuz we will die out sooner or later. just few insects and you will be running around.

  • @joerond OBVIOUSLY THIS IS TRUE, HUMAN BEINGS CARE MOR EFOR THEIR POCKETS THAN SAVING A LIFE, THE CCOST OF A HUMAN LIFE HAS DEVALUED RAPIDLY IN THE PASSED 20 YEARS, ITS SAD TO SEE THAT MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS AND ANY BREKTHROUGH ALL REVOLVES AROUND MONEY NOT REALLY TO HELP, THEY SAY ITS TO HELP FOR POLITICAL AND MARKETING CAMPAINGS BUT IN THE END ITS A LIE ITS AT THE POCKETS WHERE IT MATTERS THE MOST, BUT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE GOING SOLAR AND U CAN B SURE OF THAT SOON NO ONE WILL DEPEND MUCH

  • @kotapaka: We're depriving other organisms of solar energy? We can't even harvest more than 1% of the TOTAL energy of the Sun, what more deprive organisms of solar energy? If we could harvest 99.9% of the total energy that reaches Earth, we wouldn't need oil and coal at all... only then would we be "depriving" other organisms solar energy. Please get a brain before you comment, kotapaka. Nuclear energy is clean, but with current technology, it is still highly dangerous. Utter stupidity.

  • @kestrel83 if any one ever manage to do that , soon will get a visit from the mens in black and you dont want that. watch this video a You Tube video (Ahorre!! | Energia Gratis | Secreto Revelado para Generar Energia )

  • The ironic part is the prices this will be offered at will pout it out of reach of families who could REALLY use the savings on energy.

  • Nuclear energy is safe and clean? Ok lets say a natural disaster strikes an area near a nuclear power plant leaving it in a failed state for days, the generators that run the back up cooling system for the plant run out of fuel... what then? Thats right disaster that spreads radiation for miles! Solar is renewable and causes no waste. And who in their right mind places a gigantic solar cell over a tree? Doesn't matter anyways, judging by the comments on your page your just a troll...

  • @MrSmyusername prophetic!

  • @dsk7419

    Holy crap..... ummmm ok so lets say I bought a winning lottery ticket tomorrow.....

  • yea...but try and buy this at a solar store or from the factory!

  • QUICK!  Wall-E needs a solar makeover!

  • it would be great if this could be done....

  • This just spawns the usual drivel about things that "could happen", with pure fantasy in the numbers department, followed by the usual conspiracy theory that the oil companies own the patents. Case in point about 3Kwh daily usage. Uh-uh!. The bottom line is, the sheer volume of these divices which haven't been made yet would have to be huge to give humans the equivalent of the present day system.

  • Solar is BS. I'm not saying that we shouldn't use it but the power that reaches earth is very small. Also if you start capturing this energy then you are depriving organisms from solar energy. You can't really do this. Nuclear power is the way. There is power problem - we've got nuclear so people shouldn't be freaking out.

  • @kotapaka wait??? how are we stealing solar energy from other organisms? and nuclear is a even worse disaster

  • @BrokenChallengerWing Lol nuclear is disaster? Lol lol. Do you have any idea what nuclear energy is? Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Obviously trees need solar energy to survive and trees compete against each other for energy. If we put a solar panel over them you obviously are going to kill those trees. Nuclear is the safest, cleanest, most abundant energy source there is. However oil was discovered first so all technology runs on oil.

  • @kotapaka jesus fucking christ you cant be serouis. Nuclear energy is the most dangerous. you can have a melt down and ruin the local land. also the waste of nuclear power plants is highly radioactive and very dangerous. you have to put it in a special facility that gets checked daily for leakage or else itll sap into the earth and nearby water. solar energy can be put on top of cars,houses and put them mostly in deserts(where there is no plants) nuclear is the worst energy around

  • @BrokenChallengerWing LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL call me when you get an engineering degree... or at least have read and understand a little bit about nuclear physics because you can't argue without such knowledge and if you had it you wouldn't argue in the first place.

  • @kotapaka you dont need a fucking degree to know how dangerous nuclear power is.i know it wont cause a nuclear blast but the radioactive materials it will send out will be enough. its why they give SUICIDE PILLS to people who live in a area near a nuclear power plant.if you knew what you were really talking about you hate nuclear power too.of course if youd like to know how safe and effective nuclear power is,ask people who lived in Chernolbyl.even if america has strict polices, accidents happen

  • @kotapaka you shouldn tell peaple to get the degree to discuss this subject, while you discuss it yourself without knowing the basics.

    I there is there is a future it is defenitly with word sustainable in it.

    And nuclear is not sustainable. The uranium and plutonium deposits will finish in not a far future, and the nuclear waste is difficult think to handle while nuclear fusion is still out of our technological range, the answer is wind, tidal and wave turbines, geothermal and ultimately solar

  • @gatheringwithin First of all learn to spell correctly please - it's hard to read. Second of all nuclear fusion is not hard to achieve and we have been at a point where we can do it for 10-20 years. However as a society we have not put devoted enough resources to build large enough power stations for fusion to be self-sustainable. The reason is obviously we still have a lot of oil so no one will spend trillions when oil is at hand. Don't act smart like you know it when you don't.

  • @kotapaka thanks for comment about spelling, good staff very intelligent. Sure fusion is easy to achieve, it is not easy to sustain though for long enough to be a power source and having a large station doesn't change a thing unless u are world leading scientist and you have ur own secret methods that no one else knows yet. but from you earlier opinions that seem highly unlikely .

  • I wonder why plants never stumbled onto this technology. It would seem like those that did would have a significant advantage if there's five times more power to be had in the infrared portion of the spectrum. I'm dubious of the claim.

  • All good text and talk, but WHY oh WHY did it have to be played at once? Ho can honestly say they can read one thing and listen to something else, and remember ANYTHING of it?

    -c'mon dude...

  • @CalyptratusTZM I agree I had to turn off the audio.

  • So it's still just bla,bla,bla...when normal human being is able to buy one of these $0.50 per watt,then you can talk revolution and change from coal and oil..I bet that it is possible to give these panels out for that price,just government doesn't want it..good luck with all that beautiful nano technology never ever be seen on the market!!

  • Infrared Panels is the future

  • I have seen the other video showing company named 'Nanosolar' running a production thin foil covered with very revolutionary photovoltaic material. This suppose to be third generation of photovoltaic, very sensitive absorbing broad rage of light spectrum photocells. The beauty of this photocells is the falling cost to produce that the 1W of electrical power going down right through $1 level. Suppose to be easy to make, but is nowhere to be seen on the market.

  • I've seen some stuff on Nanosolar aswell, do not know why its not available yet. The exciting thing about them is that they will have to capability to serve mass amount of people for a low cost. They print that material like newspaper. What if they could deliver it the same way? ; )

  • @Zbawka - This is all true. I think, that this production is not in full swing. There is another one called KONARKA from Boston, MA area. One thing is that foil painted ink requires much more area to cover in order to produce reasonable amount of KW for utility application. The SILICON based crystalline modules are only suitable for residential or commercial use, at this time.

  • So where is the credibility? How do I know this is actually not some non-professional hiding behind a black screen?

  • best price I see for solar energy is 1.15/kw

    fact is solar power costs 4 times more .

    there is no benefit .

  • You want people to read & listen at the same time...Bad Idea.

  • They claim to have invented this five years ago. Where is it?

  • That's the problem, they "invent" an idea then fish for funding to make a prototype which never appears. Meanwhile, you haven't really invented anything until you can show a working model.

  • The patents are owned by companies banking on fossil fuels.

  • One person's opinion, and I kind of like it myself since it's so optimistic, is that due to the worldwide recession, the big companies will have trouble buying off the little guy, therefore the little guy will finally be able to flourish instead of giving in to payoffs to feed his family and etc.

    That will finally get some of these inventions out to the public so it can see some real progress.

  • yay for tyranny - I mean corporations. A decent film would be good enough - its just all bs-y right now.

  • @jakigi: Really? Then tell us some of the patent numbers, please. Oh, don't forget to remove your tin foil hat first...

  • @jakigi Until we have a populist revolution - expect more of the same from the oligopoly. This is by no means the only technology to be depressed or continually "showcased" rather than seriously marketed (e.g. chargeable electric cars and solar-powered electric cars, which are perfectly viable).

  • @jakigi No, they are owned by NanoSolar and their output from their

    Silicon Valley plant has been contracted to the Germans for the next

    5 years. When they grow a lot you'll be able to buy these and cheaper,

    but it'll take a while. Be patient.

  • The Marsians bought the patent (together with the ones for nuclear fusion).

  • @starman1695 yea they want to keep it on hold...

  • Couldn't they make a way to put this on hybrid or electric cars? If so It would be a good idea. I mean surely I'm not the only person who's thought of that.

  • It will be really great if you can provide Solar Energy cheaply to society. It solves 99 % of todays world problems, earth problems. The great source is Sun which is free and runs another 7 billion years. Tap it if you can for society and provide cheaply. Right now Sun is burning India and many parts of the world with a day temp of 44 deg celcius. How much power you can produce and store if you tap it?

  • The reason is that since Doyle & Shepard never had an original idea or contribution: Government & military feel COMFORTABLE with them! Because THEY never had an original science idea in centuries EITHER! So "Standards" Oil can give peanuts, in certainty that this bogus "research council" will never "rock the fuelist's boat" !

  • "Tidal forces" has nothing to do with water in this context: Heat is made - not disappaitted by Fe domain movements. Whole COUNTRIES are being supplied by thermal heat from Earth now: where have you been? My facts stem from mag. studies since Saturn ring-braiding was discovered. You are seriously behind in science with your imagined %-ages of solar-fed life-giving proportion! But Ted is an idiot who never invented anything (his grad-stud Mac Donald did). So why does he get paid & high position?

  • Hi Ted: Correction - 58% of our planet surface heat comes from Earth's core via "tidal forces" Fe -domain permutations. Neo-magnets order about 10 times the field-lines of former magnets. So there you have an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE (used by Hub Mag-Drives for 1/10th propulsive needs. Now use them for moving power generators & you add ANOTHER order of magnitude: Fuel Free non-grid Transport is the result. See "Mag Amp Gen" for details.

  • Um, no. Pretty much all of the surface heat on earth is accounted for by solar radiation and greenhouse effect. Ive got no idea where you got the 58% from.

  • Confirmed,

    The sun accounts for 95% of surface heating (353 out of 385 watts per square meter).These tidal forces that dissipate heat are all the result of solar heat that has been absorbed by the water, whilst volcanic activity accounts for <.001% of water heating.

    Rare-Earth magnets (specifically neodymium magnets) do have advantages but I've never seen them used in power generators, mate.

  • Er, wrong. Try to get your science from authoritative sources not BS hippy web sites. The VAST majority of surface heating on Earth comes from the 'insolation' process, factored for surface albedo effect i.e surface absorbtion of longwave infrared radiation from the sun. This is VERY basic met/climatology as taught in stage 1 university papers. Ever wonder why it's colder at night?????

  • Comment removed

  • I think he means 1 KwH per hour..... That is, a power of one kilowatt.

    Too many people are careless with electrical terms !!!

  • One thing about this video: $11,000 per kilowatt-hour? Don't you mean "$11,000 to install panels that will generate 1 kWh per day"? I think I kind of understand what you mean, but the way it's worded is confusing.

  • Actually this amazing as i have just been lent one of these small frexible pannel.s from a friend. I have a multimetre on it under house lighting and it's kicking out some usable power I am impressed for all the size of it and as thin as paper. However the original company of manufactor has since dissapered without trace after being bought by the goverment... Strange I usually do not subscribe to conspiracy theories.

  • Well we all know that the oil companies are hardly standing idly by and allowing people to rapidly develop clean, independent energy... I'm sure if we lived in a world without corruption and greed we'd have been in clean, independent energy many years ago.

  • Hey guys: Shepard & his Doyle pard sold out 3 years ago - bribing naive Gov-Gen at same time! "Research Council" is in Calgary, need I say more? NOTHING has come out lately! Sulfur/Lead nano is different from TiO2. SFe has no ox-hooks for conveyance (see "Buckyball" question at MIT in 2005). Solutions have moved to ambient-driven GENERATORS since to out-manuver Chen/Bu military "just one step ahead" Oil Dictatorship BS!

  • Very nice that you're finally talking about the SPECTRUM!! of light ...

    okay, if you want your revolution, then you must begin to EDUCATE!! SPEAK UP!! Thanks for the vid and of course the inspiration AS WELL. Best OF LUCK WITH THE ENTERPRISE>

  • nonosolar is already making and selling solar similar to this. It's very low cost. But if we are more efficient with well insulated zero energy homes we already have all the energy we need.

  • But what annoys me is that nonosolar has already sold out of their supply for the rest of this year and probably the next to the military. So for the residential population this technology may not be available for a long time.

    Their Patent and Intellectual Property rights prevent other companies from using this technology. I feel that they should share this technology, otherwise only a few benefit from this. Nanosolar will get rich either way.

  • They fucked with Tesla so don't expect to see this anywhere anytime soon.

  • Yeah, I actually looked deeply into getting the Tesla Roadster (decided it was a bit too pricey).  I knew something was wrong when I saw Condi Rice taking a test drive and then a few months later the founder, Martin Eberhard gets fired. WTF, the founder gets sacked?!?!

  • Sounds interesting......no pressure or anything but umm......

    HURRY UP!!! The entire world's economy is tanking!!

    If any federal bureaucrats approach you, however, just tell them you can't quite figure it out yet. They'll f*#k it up, I guarantee it. Also, don't look to the mainstream press to announce that you've finally developed this.  They're owned by the same elitist scum and yes, they'll f*#k it up also.

  • YES I AGREE!

  • You know, just release the stuff, what are they waiting for? Imagine painting electric cars with this stuff../

  • Wouldn't it be better to build huge solar fields in space and convert the electric energy into microwave energy and beam it down to an earth receptor station? It could produce a huge amount of clean electricity permanently.

  • More simple than 10 cent per watt solar cells that are paintable? When it costs $10,000 to send one gram of weight into space... I think not-

  • btw, it's $10,000/pound.

  • Some launch systems (Zenit) can do 1$ a gram.

  • A google search of "elevator return energy", found that modern elevator systems in tall buildings do have special drive mechanisms that generates return energy when the elevator is going down. Thus, the complete needed technology for storing residential solar energy in a special heavy-concrete-weighted solar energy storage elevator is already available. The "overall energy" use for tall building elevators is very small ( just the cost of resistance and inefficiency ). No explosive hydrogen.

  • the numbers being thrown out is that this tech would be 1/10 the cost of current silicon cells. The first real generation of this stuff should start to be seen in 2010 by companies such as Innovalight and Nanosolar. The flexibility will make it likely that companies will build it into roof shingles. OkSolar is already selling shingles using more expensive conventional silicon technology.

  • thanks much

  • @kbs1138 um...

  • What's the cost of this stuff? Is it durable? Standard cells last only 10 years, hardly worth considering for the average U.S. citizen, considering replacement costs. And out of the question for those living in mud huts. If the cost were cut in half, or the life of the cells doubled, I'd have them on my roof, even if I only broke even. But at this point, we're better off growing a garden than installing solar cells. Which I'm doing.

  • and done by economist, and the banks would feel more sound backing it because it would be a set allotment, or allocation, at set dates. Other than that marketing marketing and advertising of new energies is something that is needed. in reply to "we Got to do something"

  • Can you make a dark loght solar cell from this product?

  • The shareholders of the big energy companies are fuelled by their capitalist greed. As more and more people use alternative sources of energy, their profits will be under threat, therefore energy costs will rise. We need to harness all forms of free energy, recycle, re-use and reduce our waste, before it's too late.

  • I thought people would stereotypically blame republicans for being friendly to "big oil"

  • blame the democrats? dont u mean "blame the replublicans?"

  • blame the politicians and beaurocrats :)

  • el oh el

  • I personally, blame thermodynamics. Why should it's laws dictate our lives?

  • we could just be like the government and just rewrite our laws fraudulently. Orwells "animal Farm' indeed

  • And the enviromental groups. They aren't interested in any green tech. They want population control.

  • DEPOPULATION THAT IS...

  • a lot of talk talk,by the time somebody, walk the talk, it will be to late........

  • blame big oil for killing off any new energy

  • HEY

    WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING NOW

  • i suggest maybe bring oil prices down for three to four years 2 let people catch up with new energies. especially for the transportation industries. there are many, many peoples willing to do that, as it is a world wide issue. i might also suggest a world agreeded upon monetary allotment, possibly backed by outerspace real estate ( if need be) to be

  • dealt out to nations now and every ten years and every hundred years. i estimate at least 400katrillion per nation. This would solve current problem as well as many past problems, and would help to curve future problems. It is something they already do, though not as lucratively, it's something studied

  • The problem with cheaper oil is that people then don't feel as great a need to invest in alternative energies. I have seen more innovations and more alternate energies being used in the past few years than in the past few decades. Look at the oil crisis of the 70's. After that the auto manufacturers looked into building more efficient vehicles. Now they should be looking into electrics that can be charged by solar power and get off the oil completely. Cheaper oil won't persuade them to do that.

  • Well... if they already have the solar cell paint, they ought to go ahead and make it available for sale at a reasonable price.

  • Geothermal energy is just as free as the sun's but it's main advantage is that the earth's heat is given off 24/7. Indirect use of the sun's energy in tidal flows is another essential free source still largely untapped source of free energy; all of which don't give off any carbon.... ulike the fossil fuel industry.... yuck!

  • The biggest thing that opposes such a technology as this and sends it back to the way of geothermal, tidal generation etc etc.. is that the everyday guy cannot do it. Therefore there is no megabuck incentive. You get a man with a can and some wires? And he is independent of the grid? Big power goes broke.

    YOU can't build a tidal generation station in your back yard. BUT you can paint your house to make the juice you need! but not if the big boys have their say. What's the incentive?

  • That's 100% correct. They definitely don't want us to make our own power which is why the overwhelming misconception out there (which is believed by most of the world) is that you can't create or harness your own energy for free. While it is admittedly very bad for our economy (and we must consider that) to bankrupt power companies, it is an ideal solution to a huge problem to simply let everyone produce their own power. The grid can stay in place, but it will be communal.

  • If the power companies go the way of the blacksmith who used to shoe horses for a living the economy will adjust and do just fine.

  • The fossil fuels are why you have YouTube. And everything else. Don't knock your stepping stones, before or after you've stepped. We used to beat animals to move stuff.

  • Actually the bandgap energy of silicon is less than an electron volt (which is why silicon solar cells generate less than a volt) which means a basic silicon solar cell is actually only decently efficient for fairly far infrared. The real way to do it is layers of different semiconductors. Maybe GaAs on top and Si on the bottom. The high energy light absorbed at the top, low at bottom, everything more efficient. He's wrong about half of sunlight energy being infrared btw, it's way under that.

  • I can see "in" infrared which is great but it's forcing me to spend all my time watching lady joggers at the beach. Incidentely, infrared doesn't mean "beyond" red it means "below" red because infrared has a longer wavelength and lower frequency than red. It's below red. Consult your wave spectrum chart Bucky Balls. Well, back to the beach.

  • That was HILARIOUS erod1944. You're absolutely right though. He was wrong on the translation.

  • I'm no green-brain, afraid that the earth and all life on it is in imminent danger of collapse, but this revolution is a no-brainer to pour our *entrepreneurial* innovation into. Remember kiddos, marxism generally suffocates innovation. Nothing beats the profit motive, in the *real* world.

  • you narrow minded smerious.

  • As long as it's not lead paint, I'm all for it. :-D

  • watch discovery, there is a show called eco tech, which is so cool

  • Would be useless in England...

  • search for some video about overcast/cloudy solar stuff. I saw something about it, talking about Portland, Oregon, which has nearly the same conditions.

    Either way, if solar goes way up, coal would drop so energy would be cheaper in England (theoretically). They'd probably engineer something for those climates eventually.

  • @ badmoon w/e

    If you actually read the comment and understand the intention you would know why she's ... "indoctrination", you only speak for yourself idiot.

  • Solar is the perfect energy, and it is incredibly plentiful, and everlasting. America is too oil-addicted to realize this. The oil barons have a grip on the world - and we all shall suffer from their greed and our stupidity. The solution to ALL of our energy problems is SOLAR... Go to Wikipedia - research "solar ponds" to see what we COULD be doing rather than paying thieves $4.00 a gallon to pollute our environment. Solar energy and electric everything. Welcome to the future - it's now.

  • Damn, go take a tranquilizer you are freaking out on this subject. We know how important solar energy is to our culture and most of us figured it out a long time ago without your militant indoctrination. LOL

  • Solar all the way. Im using a small cell to charge my phone by the window. I use another I use another fixed to the computer bag to charge the laptop when Im out and about. Solar is the most portable power source availible.

  • This technology is 2 years old. How come it has not made mainstream yet?

  • I think because it is bullshit. There are several people working on it and they all say the same thing. I will be out last year but it is still hidden from the public looking for people to invest. They are all privately held and all are seeking money for development. It might as well be a perpetual energy machine. If it was for real we would have seen it by now in some form. So far all we hear is how it could be the next holy grail. I would love to get some of this to test myself, but none yet.

  • What do you mean by bullshit? As in solar technology is BS and will never work, or this particular piece of solar technology is BS. I think Solar has a lot of potential and there are already proven technologies e.g. concentrated solar. Still any endeavour of commercial scale (100+ MW) requires huge amounts of capital investment to get going. The problem lies in finding this funding. Of course the big companies aren't interested as they'll only end up chopping of their own legs.

  • Hey mvirtuallyhere  if you stop playin with yourself maybee you CAN read an listen, ha ha ha

  • We are expected to read and listen at the same time?!?

  • LOL. I think, the author considered multitasking to double the information flow rate; as a computer can process data from two USB interfaces simultanously.

    ;-))

  • instead of improving nuclear power plants, i assume they are more focused on solar power so they can eventually do away with nuclear all together instead of just improving its efficiency.

  • Thanks for the worthless speech.

  • Solar is the future. Check out this cool one too. Even better.

    Search for Youtube video 4h9FLvj2ZJM

  • no, it's not *the* future. It shouldn't be the only source. If we invest all dependance on one source of energy then that puts us at risk.

    But I assume you know this.

  • you assume wrong

  • If we can't depend on the Sun then Humanity will cease. No solar waves hitting the big E would be the end of us all. I'm for Tesla's route. Radiant energy. But free energy to the world would shake the foundations of civilization. No more poor. No more rich. But capitalism doesn't work like that. Capitalism keeps people poor so the rich maintain our decadent lives. We in the West need someone to go pick bananas, make our Nike shoes and supply the WalMarts so we can watch LOST and drink lattes.

  • Isn't that where we are now?(dependent on one very limited energy source) The sun shines everyday, if solar energy fails, then we're all screwed anyway.

    But I assume you know this

  • I wanna make this myself!!!!!

  • Is it already possible to install that system at my house? Where to buy it?

  • i sell them in de

  • wie kann ich mit dir Kontakt aufnehmen bezüglich der Preise und Angebote?

    MfG

  • Is this on the market today????

  • They should improve the nuclear plants so they aren't as a danger to the world as they are with little to no emmisions and a more effeicient way of capturing energy.

    But I beleive we should also be working hard on making solar power a more efficient resource.

  • little to no emmisions!?!?!?!?(Someoneizali­ve)

    The toxic waste they create take millions of years to become safe.

  • I hope a day comes when graduates students working 20 hrs a day is not glorified.

  • wind water sun

  • don't forget earth (geothermal)

  • "don't forget earth (geothermal)"

    Ditto!!

    Alas, STORAGE for use is always the dilemma, no matter the source.

  • Three power sources that need expansion:

    Cheap Solar Panels

    Closed-Loop Geothermal (no emissions)

    Advanced Nuclear power plants

  • When do you think that this technology will be available to diy handymen ? Keep up the good work

  • So where do we buy this at?

  • Infrared means "inferior to red." Beyond red would be visible light. Is this man a real scientist or just an actor?

  • You didn't say anything about the paint Einstein...

  • Correction: in this tech usage, infra-red actually means "below" red, a reference to the fact that infra-red, or infrared, consists of wavelengths of longer frequency than red light, which is itself the longest frequency of visible light.

    Blue-Violet is the shortest visible freq, on the other end of the visible spectrum from red.
