Mars Rover technology will improve the efficiency of solar energy the Earth

August 29th, 2010

A self-cleaning system, sensors detect the rover solar panel through the dust, and clean the battery plates by electrode surface, thus ensuring the smooth panels always in the state.

According to reports, a recent Boston University study claims that scientists, NASA’s Mars Rover technology designed, would be used improve and enhance the Earth’s solar energy utilization efficiency, thereby effectively address global energy issues.

On Mars, if the rover solar panels were covered with dust that is bound to affect the energy output. However, NASA scientists have for the Mars Rover from cleaning system designed to help Mars rover from sand and dust interference. Mars has such a system through the vehicle sensors detect solar panel of dust, clean the battery plates by electrode surface, thus ensuring the smooth panels always in the state.

Boston University scientists Mallinath - Mazudeer have the technology to help NASA design. Mazudeer said the technology will be able to greatly improve the efficiency of large-scale solar power plants. Currently, many large-scale solar power plants are located in full of the dry desert sand.

Mazudeer, said, “If the range of per square meter, down a heavy layer of 4 g of dust, solar energy efficiency will lead to decrease of 40%. In Arizona, the dust is deposited each month, four times in the dust volume. In Australia, the Middle East and India, the dust deposition rate is even higher. ”

2004 Mars rover is using this technology. The technology includes solar panels coated with a layer of indium tin oxide electrode, a transparent electric photosensitive material. Sensors to monitor solar panels surface dust levels. When the dust thickness of a certain critical level, the sensor will activate the light-sensitive material of this power. Then, the battery’s electrodes will produce a wave board sustained static pulse, static pulse to shake off the dust, to ensure the battery plate cleaner and more efficient. Mazudeer explained that this process can be removed in 2 minutes, 90% of the dust, and only a small amount of electricity consumed.

How Far Is the Human from the “New Energy” ?

August 27th, 2010

Recently, a U.S. magazine summed up the variety of expected “a dream come true,” the forefront of energy technology, is expected to provide the world with a new energy future. Fuel cells

The use of hydrogen or other fuels such as methanol and other cells is recognized as a clean form of energy supply noise. This technology has been widely used, such as small mobile devices can replace the battery.

Atomic battery

Manufacture of micro atomic reactor is almost impossible, but the use of radioactive material and radiation generated by converting it to electricity is relatively easy. Now, the atomic battery has been used in satellites.

Nuclear isomer

Fourth-generation nuclear weapons one of the key energy resources, energy was 100 times more than high explosive. Through the nuclear isomer to the core X-ray emission, we can get their enormous energy. This technology is suitable for providing electricity to human.

Nuclear fusion

Launch high-speed protons to the target B can generate three helium nuclei and energy is released, this is the principle of non-neutron nuclear fusion technology. The United States is able to promote the development of the fusion reaction generator, it must be small enough to be placed on silicon, a tool for energy. However, this idea was not realistic at present.

Black light

This energy can be obtained by water electrolysis hydrogen to make water into a source of energy.

Zero energy

According to quantum physics, the universe, replete with zero energy for extraction. But the Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg, the universe is not so much zero energy, zero point energy contained in the Earth may be only so much a gallon of gas.

Who will become the market-driven in the field of nuclear power and solar cells in the future?

August 26th, 2010

At present, the solar cell from reaching its original goal - “and the family quite a generating cost of electricity,” getting closer. Solar cell research to further develop a long-term goals for 2030, subject of research and development which is continuing.

There was also discussion of the relevant journal issue of nuclear power and solar cells? Must have a lot of people have this question. Growing in society today, people demand more and more attention on energy. So, in the field of nuclear power and solar cells, who would go farther? Become time-led government?

Actual situation

Reporters have been concerned about the reports of the incident solar batteries. Solar cell research to further develop a long-term goal for 2030 is currently continue to promote research and development. The goal is to 7 yen / kWh. It is said that price is the cost of nuclear power, if achieved, then solar energy will become a major one, solar cells have high expectations for the industry.

A claim that the cost of nuclear power could further reduce the risk of enterprise - the United States TerraPower run out. Since the company is funded by the Bill Gates set up, so in Japan has become a hot topic. Is this what kind of technology will affect the future of solar cells it? Japanese interest in this course is full.

TerraPower development called TWR (Travelling-wave Reactor) approach has the following features: the frequency of fuel to replace up to 60 to 100 years, can be used on Earth are rich in fuel, reactor construction and fuel cycle is relatively simple. Based on these characteristics, the business with confidence, “said the reactor could be further than the current cost.” The company has recruited well-known United States and other countries, researchers, and received venture capital (Venture Capital) of the funding, plans to start early 20s of this century’s first commercial reactor.

How can he wants to achieve business goals?

Collection of control over their destiny is the fuel cladding tube material. If the final conclusions from it, it seems to be able to immediately apply the material does not exist. Higher degree of combustion, fuel replacement cycle longer, beyond the unprecedented technical barriers is not easy. However, outstanding researchers, a strong venture capital and the speed of doing things can not be ignored. TerraPower said now with the United States, Japan, Russia, China and India and other countries of the researchers made contact. TerraPower looking forward to the expert said, “Unlike the previous structure, the development of rapid progress is possible.”
