Israel Like Many Other Places On Earth, Should Go Solar

Amazing development with several practical applications.
Professor David Faiman head of the Ben-Gurion National Solar Energy Research Center and developer of a new Solar Cell. This new Solar Cell can produce over one thousand times more electric power than a conventional photovoltaic or PV. Professor David Faiman states "The achievement is that we separate out the collection function of a photovoltaic cell to the light conversion to electricity function. When we collect the light, instead of using a huge area of solar cells, we use an equal area of cheap glass mirrors and they are curved in such a way as to concentrate the light onto a very small solar cell, the size of just one cell, and in this way you concentrate the light a thousand times and you can get a thousand times more power out of a small cell."
He gives an interesting point about the curvature of the mirror and how it can concentrate more power on a small mirror rather than a huge flat mirror.

Solar Air Conditioners

At the beginning of the video explains how air conditioners only make heat waves worse. There is a solar fix though, solar engineer Les Hamasaki at the Debs Park Audubon Environmental Center in Los Angeles describes how we can solve this problem. With his invention the hotter it gets outside the cooler it can become inside. It can boil water,sterilize and even desalinate contaminated water. With this invention there would be no need for power plants! It's truly amazing!

This is just something fun and interesting to think about.

Amazing what the sun can be capable of if we harness the power that is around us almost everyday.
