Solar panels for Vehicles?

Major question of now days in many question and answer sites is why electrical cars cannot charge itself by using solar power through fixing solar panels. because a car has a significant roof area and it can be used to fix solar panels. There are several factors to be considered when thinking about fixing solar panels

Solar panels are less efficient and therefore it produces less energy per unit area. And also solar panel does not have an ability of converting all of energy that absorbed from the sun. It is about 20 to 50% of energy of sun will be converted in to usable energy through even high efficient panel. The top of an electric car has maybe 3–5 square meters of flat space.Solar panels, even at high noon, usually only produce about 200 watt-hours per square meter.

modern solar panels are inefficient and convert just 15-20% of the energy that reaches them. So that Revero solar roof, having received eight hours of pure sunshine, will generate enough power to drive 1.5 miles. But this can be reached within minutes of charged by using main electricity.Eight hours of charging modern electric car from a wall socket, it supports of running 200 plus miles of range.

Another disadvantage of using solar panels on roof of the car is, it courses of increasing the weight of the car and then it affects on battery of fuel consumption negatively. Though less amount of energy cost is not low. Therefore the manufacturers don't use solar panels to there cars due to increasing of the price of vehicle. Some parts of the vehicle are operated by using solar energy that is why some electric and hybrid cars are fixed a solar panel which is small. But it doesn't use for charging purposes.

Fuel Cell and How It Works?

Fuel Cell vehicle(when considered only the vehicle) has become the most greenest vehicle in the world today due to none pollution and the none exhausting gases like Carbon base, it exhausts only pure water. Among the fuel cell Cars the Hydrogen related car are the most popular once by today. Fuel cell is a Cell that is producing electric current because of the chemical reaction. That is a simple definition. But fuel cell has a more complex process to produce electricity.On the other way, this fuel is converting the chemical energy of the fuel in to electrical energy.Therefore we call these a electrochemical cells. This process can be done as long as the oxygen is supplied. Now we can do a discuss with this Picture 01 given below. Fuel cell is a continuous battery. As I told you the energy is generated as long as the fuel and oxygen is supplied, in the most of cases the Hydrogen will be used as the fuel.The chemical reaction which is done in this is between the Hydro...

Solar Wind

Solar Wind is an energized stream which includes of charged particles , such as Electrons and Protons. Those particles are the most consisted in solar wind. But it includes alpha as well. When we are go into this topic " Solar Wind" , we have a doubt how its generated? Solar wind is Massive injection of those particles mentioned above. The main reason for the solar wind is the reaction which are occurred in the Sun's Core. Because of this reactions , charged particles are generated and they starting to move here and there with high(extreme) velocities. Due to this, those charged particles are reached to the outer boundary of the sun and then they are become free charged particles which have no more bound by the Sun's Gravity. Then they Escaped from the Sun's gravity and move like a stream What we call Solar Wind.And also travel as far as distance. Lets go and check more further what is solar wind......?? Sun extremely contains a gaseous body and a...

Wind energy better than Solar energy ?

Wind energy producing process Wind turbines can be classified into two types according to the axis, one type is called Horizontal axis wind turbines and other is Vertical axis wind turbine. Horizontal type is the major type that comes to our mind when we imagine a wind turbine. It has an horizontal axis which is parallel to the ground, and it is connected with blades ( mostly three blades). When the wind blowing towards the blades the blades are moving and the all blades are join together by the rotor and the Rotor coupled with the shaft and there are two shafts one is low speed shaft and other is hight speed shaft these shafts are connected or coupled by gears. Eventually these high speed shaft coupled with the generator which generates Electricity. This type is the most commercialized wind turbine due to high efficiency. The other type is known as vertical axis, and it is less complex and also cheap as same as lower efficiency, therefore it is not much commercializ...
