Solar Energy harvesting and utilization

 


The Solar Resource:

The term “Solar Energy” refers to radiant heat and light from the sun. This energy travels

over 93 million miles from the sun to the earth. As solar energy travels through the

atmosphere to the earth’s surface, not all of the energy reaches the earth’s crust. The

following diagram shows how solar energy travels through the atmosphere to the earth

where it can be utilised.

how to make a lead acid accumulator battery charger

 lead acid accumulator charger circuit introduction: To charge a battery from an A.C source ,first you need a step down transformer, a rectifier and a voltage regulator  to maintain a constant voltage . then it can be used to charge a battery. if a D.C voltage source is available ,you only need a DC-DC voltage regulator , then give the volts to the battery DC VOLTAGE -→→DC VOLTAGE REGULATOR -→→BATTERY As seen in the DC voltage is given to the DC voltage regulator here we use LM317 which is a DC voltage regulator. The regulated DC out voltage is given to battery. There is also a trickle charge mode circuitry which will help to reduce the current when the battery is fully charged.   component of athe battery charger circuit LM317:   LM317 is voltage regulator invented by Robert C. Dobkin and Robert J. Widlar in 1970.the main function of this voltage regulator is to regulate the voltage and give the constant voltage without any noise disturbance; fo...

Flame Detectors Explained

 Flame sensor/ detectors: Flame detectors(sensors) detect the presence of flame.  just as every other sensor operate ; they detect a change in a physical phenomenon and then produce an output signal proportional to the change in the physical phenomenon being sensed or detected. The presence of fire which relates to flames is a physical condition to be watched against  and since this is an unwanted condition , there arise the need to constantly watch(detect) against it and eliminate it as quick as possible when detected . Flame detectors are devices that watch against flames (fire ) , it may also be called a fire detector.  A flame sensor detects a flame but what physical or measureable characteristics of a flame does it detects??. with this question in mind , we need to overview flames , identify the properties of a flame that can be detected /measured / sensed  and work on the best methodology to detect flames. OVERVIEW OF FLAMES A flame is a mixture of reac...

STEM vs. STEAM: Navigating the Confluence of Science and Art

Introduction In today's rapidly evolving world, acronyms like STEM and STEAM have become buzzwords in education and beyond. These acronyms represent two different but interconnected approaches to learning and innovation. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, while STEAM adds Art to the mix. In this article, we will delve into the history, goals, benefits, and societal impact of STEM and STEAM education. A Brief History STEM's Roots STEM education has its origins in the mid-20th century when the United States faced a shortage of professionals in science and engineering. The National Science Foundation (NSF) played a pivotal role in promoting STEM fields. STEM education emerged as a way to equip students with the skills needed to excel in these vital areas. STEAM's Emergence STEAM, with its emphasis on integrating the arts, is a more recent development. It is often attributed to the efforts of Georgette Yakman , who advocated for the inclusion ...
