Removable solar panels directly between railway tracks.

Removable solar panels  directly between railway tracks.

     Sun-Ways, a Swiss startup, has developed a system that places "removable solar panels " "directly between railway tracks", turning the unused space into a source of renewable energy. This innovative approach allows for continuous train operations while generating electricity, with the panels being easily installed and removed for track maintenance.

   The pilot project in Buttes, Switzerland, has demonstrated the feasibility of this concept, and the company is exploring wider adoption across Switzerland and internationally. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:--------

Removable Solar Panels:-
    Sun-Ways utilizes specially designed solar panels that can be easily installed and removed from between the rails using a specialized machine. 

No Disruption to Train Traffic:
  The installation and removal process is designed to be quick and efficient, minimizing any disruption to train operations. 

Track Maintenance Compatibility:-
The removable nature of the panels allows for regular track maintenance and repairs without damaging the solar infrastructure. 

Energy Production:-
   The solar panels generate electricity that can be directly fed into the railway infrastructure or potentially integrated into the broader power grid. 

Potential for Scale:-
   If adopted across a significant portion of Switzerland's railway network, this system could generate a substantial amount of renewable energy, potentially contributing significantly to the country's energy needs.
 
Global Interest:-
   The Sun-Ways technology has attracted interest from other countries, including South Korea and Indonesia, who are exploring pilot projects to implement similar systems. 

Environmental Benefits:-
   This solution reduces reliance on fossil fuels, minimizes land usage for solar farms, and can reduce visual pollution compared to traditional solar installations.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan     Japan has developed a technology that allows houses to literally lift off the ground during earthquakes, protecting them from damage.    This is achieved using a system of compressed air and sensors that inflate an airbag under the house, lifting it a few centimeters during tremors. The house then gently settles back down when the shaking stops.      Japan has developed innovative earthquake-resistant technology that allows houses to lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage. This is achieved through systems like the one developed by Air Danshin, which uses compressed air to lift houses on airbags. When sensors detect tremors, the airbag inflates, raising the house a few centimeters and preventing it from shaking violently with the ground.    More detailed explanation: Airbag Technology:- Air Danshin has pioneered the use of large airbags placed b...
