My Green Home – My Wind Turbine – Air-X 12v Land

admin — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 02:12:36 +0000

My Air-X Land 12V wind turbine is up and running.

Connected to 2 Xrantex portable power packs (65ah batteries and 1500w inverter in each pack), on a good wind day will charge the batteries from dead in less than 12hrs, usually takes 2-3 days in average winds. I have it mounted on a 27′ pole with #10awg wire to the base where the power packs are located. The system runs my 16 – 11 volt deck lights, 2 strings of 100 LCD patio lights for a few hours at night, electronic bug zapper all day, charges all my rechargable tools, flashlights, camera batteries and has lots of power left available for runing small tools like my drill and weed wacker when needed.

Free Green Energy – got to love it!

Solar powered “Death Ray”

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:43:05 +0000

Melting a hot dog and then melting through steel with the power of the sun!

About the Solar Death Ray:
The Solar Death Ray is made of 112 mirrors mounted on a platform 4 feet
wide and 6 feet tall. Each mirror is a square roughly 3.5 inches on edge. All
these mirrors focus the sun to a single spot 5 feet, 6 inches from the mirror
platform. A wooden fork extends from the mirror base to the area near the
focus and serves as a mounting point for Solar Death Ray targets. The
mirror platform is mounted to the support frame on a pivot that allows the
platform to be angled. The whole system is mounted on a set of wheels.
Some Science:
The Solar Death Ray works by reflecting the light of the sun from 112
mirrors onto a single spot. Anything in the spot (the target) starts to get
hot. The target will continue to get hot until it reaches an equilibrium
temperature. When the equilibrium temperature is reached, the object is
reemitting as much light as it is absorbing. The re-emitted light is infrared
light, not the visible light from the sun. The infrared light is emitted simply
because the target is hot. The hotter the target, the more infrared light is
emitted. There are other details to this effect that Im neglecting, but you
can check that out for yourself by looking up Black Body Radiation.

The equilibrium temperature is determined (approximately) by how much
of the light is absorbed by the object and how much is reflected. A dark-
colored object absorbs more light than a light-colored object. For
example, a black piece of paper absorbs more light than a white piece of
paper. This will cause a black piece of paper to get MUCH hotter than a
white piece of paper when placed in the Solar Death Ray.

Using some basic principles of Black Body Radiation, I estimate that the
Solar Death Ray can heat things up to between 500-600 degrees Celsius
(930-1100 degrees Fahrenheit) under good conditions. This assumes that
heat is not lost due to conduction and convection of the air around the
target, which is unlikely. As a check, paper will ignite at around 230
degrees Celsius (450 degrees Fahrenheit). Because I can routinely ignite
paper with the Solar Death Ray, I know it can heat things to at least this
temperature. The output power of the Solar Death Ray is roughly 1,000
Watts, meaning that 1,000 Watts of power can be deposited onto a
target. The time it takes to heat the target can be estimated if you know
the Heat Capacity of the target.

How often do you drive past a house to see the front light left on? Or walk past a school or government building at night and notice all the lights on? 12 hours a night security lights are left on and by switching to solar outdoor lights you can not only save money but save the environment at the same time.
