Solar power system converts plastic waste to clean Hydrogen Fuel

Solar power system converts plastic waste to clean Hydrogen Fuel
     Solar-powered system that converts plastic waste into clean hydrogen fuel, offering a promising solution to both plastic pollution and the need for sustainable energy. 

    This innovative technology utilizes sunlight to break down plastic waste, specifically PET bottles, into hydrogen and other byproducts, potentially revolutionizing waste management and hydrogen production. 

   Here's a more detailed look at the breakthrough:

Photocatalytic Process:-
   The system employs a photocatalytic process, where sunlight and a catalyst are used to drive a chemical reaction that decomposes the plastic. 

Scalability:-
    The technology has been tested successfully in outdoor experiments using a one-square-meter device, demonstrating the potential for scaling up to larger systems for practical applications. 

Dual Benefit:-
    The system offers a dual benefit by reducing plastic waste and producing clean hydrogen fuel, which can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity or in other applications. 

Efficiency and Durability:-
   The system has shown promising results in terms of efficiency and durability, with tests conducted over several months in various conditions, including seawater and alkaline environments. 

Cost-Effectiveness:-
    While further optimization is needed, the technology has the potential to be cost-effective, particularly when considering the dual benefits of waste management and energy production. 

Real-World Application:-
  The researchers emphasize that this is a rare example of a photocatalytic system that functions reliably in real-world conditions, not just in a laboratory setting, making it a promising step towards a sustainable, hydrogen-powered future.

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...
