ChrisC asked: Obviously there is a definite benefit for the environment, but what are the financial costs versus savings?
Well I’ve heard that you can still be hooked to a grid and during the daytime when most people are not home and not using a lot of electricity it reverses the meter. I also heard [...]
Random Guy from Texas asked: It is possible to transmit power wirelessly.

Why not take parking lots or other parking areas, and simply cover them with solar panels, then have “outlets” that beam any power to a car with a built in receiver that parks in that lot?
Any extra power left over can be piped into [...]
Colin H asked: Hi. I have an idea that I would like to share with the world. A solar powered car about the size as a golf cart, but the protection of a car. It seems pretty cool, but how do I design it using software? I have a Mac, so only Mac friendly programs.Low [...]
Aryan asked: With decreasing oil reserves, alternative energy sources have to be found, while fusion power, if attainable is very promising, it is far from reality (perhaps 20 years if the ITER project is successful). Biodiesel is exciting too. but it would be impossible to grow so many plants to cater to the needs of [...]
zeiguzunt asked: Using conventional electricity to recharge a hybrid battery must be inherently unsound: burning coal, gas, or fuel oil to generate electricity to be transmitted over power lines with all the loss entailed can’t be very efficient. If photovoltaic cells could do it, you’d be charging up your battery while you’re at [...]
zaynpevy asked: I am looking to find out how to go about setting my house up for total solar power? I live in the South so sun isn’t a big problem for us. I’d really rather be using a sustainable product than keep letting the electric company keep charging me for THEIR gas usage. Exspecially [...]
HELLO SUMMERTIME. asked: What if someone made a solar powered car/ gasoline car.
Like in the day time the car would run on complete solar energy then at night you get gas. Would you buy it?Buy Tires Online
dreamtek9 asked: Photovoltaic arrays convert sunlight to electricity with a typical conversion efficiency (range) of 10% to 30%.
A tree receives sunlight, and stores some of this solar energy as a hydrocarbon (wood). What intensity of sunlight is needed, over what area of leaf canopy, for how many hundreds of hours, for a [...]
Amanda S asked: i was just wondering, because a wind and solar cross seems useful (coming from someone who doesnt know cars) and i wondered if an engine could be made to run on the wind a car creates while driving, with solar to initate power. is it at all possible? please no overly technical [...]
Olivia asked: which is has a better performance, a hydrogen (water) powered car or a solar powered car?
i need to know asap please!
