Solar Power Tree: A New Era of Renewable Energy Sources

Sometimes it seems like a new week, a new solar technology record achieved. It's an exciting time in solar technology. Researchers are constantly looking for a more efficient solar cell - one that can convert the most amount of sunlight into electricity so that the technology can not just compete with fossil fuels, but blow them out of the water.

In India, The Ministry of Science and Technology has come up with a 'Solar Power Tree', an innovative way to generate electricity using solar power in a limited space. Developed by the Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute (CMERI), Durgapur, a laboratory of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the solar power tree model is actually designed like a tree with branches made of steel to hold the photovoltaic panel.

"It takes less land of only 4 sq ft for a 5 kW solar power tree as compared to 400 sq ft of land required in case of the conventional solar photovoltaic layout. "It holds the panels at a higher height - thus gets more sun (by 1 hour) in a day in comparison to that of conventional layout on ground. This could also be rotated so that the photovoltaic panel get more sunlight. Thus, it is possible to harness 10-15 per cent more power. It has a water sprinkler at the top for self-cleaning of panels.The solar power tree has a capacity to generate 5 KW with a battery backup for 2 hours when under full load.

The minister said the solar power tree has no urban or rural barrier for its usage and is also cost effective.He said, in future, it would be possible to harness 10 per cent more power by rotating panel direction twice in a day by using a module that aligns itself with the movement of sun. Also, aesthetic aspects would be incorporated in the design of solar tree for landscaping. Therefore it's a great step from Government of India in Renewable Energy sector.

Third World War

Since last 2-3 months everyday we are hearing one word 'Third World War'.The situation of the entire world is very critical. The world is moving towards the demolition. Everyday many people's are dying due to terrorist attack. We should thank to our God that we are not in syria or in Iraq.

But exactly before 10 years ago no one was said about the Third World War except one my Sadguru my Mentor, my Dad Dr.Aniruddha Dhairyadhar Joshi (M.D. Medicine & Consulting Rheumatologist).He wrote the book on Third World War and published it in 2006. He gave us the basic identification of war. What exactly the war is? Which countries will participate in Third World War? what will be the effects of war on entire world?...Now after 10 years the scenario of entire world is exactly same as he mentioned in his book...so its my humble request to you all wake up & read this book once...You can also buy this book from aanjaneya publication website:
