Photon enhanced thermionic emission could double efficiency of solar cells

Engineers at Stanford have developed a process which can harness the light and heat of the sun simultaneously, which could lead to solar cells that are twice as efficient as those currently available. Called photon enhanced thermionic emission — or PETE for short — the process differs from traditional cells which lose efficiency as temperatures rise, and the materials needed to build the cells are cheap and widely available. The engineers got around the lower efficiencies by coating a piece of semiconducting material with a thin layer of the metal cesium, which enables the material to use both heat and light simultaneously. While the materials as currently demonstrated work best in very high temperatures, the researchers indicate that in the near future, the materials could have wide enough application to make them competitive with traditional forms of energy.

In this video I’m showing the progress that I made with my solar heater. Now I need to collect more bottles, so I went to the local supermarket and they will help me to collect the bottles that I need. Cutting and taping the bottles will take some time, but after that I can focus on the next task, and that will be insulating the copper pipe with all the fittings. I will show you how I’m going to do that. So stay tuned, and thumbs up if you like it

Also visit this youtube channel from jcanivan, he shows a way better setup with all the information how to build it.

http://www.SolarPoweredHome.us – So, you are interested in knowing how to generate power and reduce your electricity bills, than you have come to the right place.
With the ever increasing costs of living and global warming, there should be better time when we stop throwing money out the window and save some by starting to generate our own electricity. Whether you want to simply cut your power bills to half or completely eliminate them — the one stop solution is SolarPoweredHome.
Why pay a huge amount like $1000s for utilization of solar or wind power when you can have the opportunity to build your own home made solar system for less than $200. Thats right, there are guides that teach you everything you need to know about generating your own electricity by using wind and solar power. With the complete step-by-step setup fully illustrated manuals and easy to follow video instructions present in the guide you will be able to create renewable energy at home. Solar and wind power systems brought from the market costs higher but the guide and the program in it gives you the information that is required to get the same results at a tiny price. Once you have learned and ready to build and install your alternate power supply, you will save hundreds of dollars on your electricity bill. You need not have to build a 500 hundred foot high wind turbine to save lots of money on energy, a much smaller can be built by following the instructions present in the SolarPoweredHome kit. The SolarPoweredHome kit is the best system for people who are looking to save money on their home energy bill and want to build a energy generator at home .There is no other kit out there in the market like SolarPoweredHome that explains clearly with manuals or even includes videos. The SolarPoweredHome kit is available online for purchase. Many people can now have access to alternative solar and wind energy. The SolarPoweredHome kit suggests one of those popular alternative energy devices that prove to drop home energy costs by 50-80%. The kit also shares information on where to purchase free batteries required for your project. These batteries store the alternative energy making it a portable energy resource. You can take them anywhere, for any use! SolarPoweredHome is simply the best friendly system for preparing an alternative home energy. So if you are planning to save money on those high energy bills, then you should bring this guide and start working on it. Make power at home with solar and wind energy to eliminate your power bill.

LONDON (AlertNet) – Brazil intends to build more than 60 large dams in the Amazon basin over the next 20 years to supply its national electric grid, according to the Rainforest Foundation UK.

Dams threaten to damage river ecosystems, forests and displace indigenous people, the foundation says.

It argues that there are a range of alternatives which could meet Brazil’s energy needs without compromising environmental sustainability.

Some alternatives include wind power, solar power, retrofitting existing power plants and becoming more energy efficient, according to the group.

“Brazil is not giving attention to the alternatives, including an overall plan for the energy sector,” Brent Millikan, Amazon programme director for Internationational Rivers told AlertNet at an event hosted at Amnesty International in London to draw attention to the plight of indigenous people who say they will be displaced by the flooding caused by dams.
