There is no cheaper …
There is no cheaper system based on your need of consumption;Notice,If you adapted to a more efficient model, the affordability grows as your willingness to change your consumption does.What I am saying is you can’t save money using solar if your current inefficient home/lifestyle demands more than you can supply whithout the luxury of fossil fuel.
I’m not lowering my …
I’m not lowering my standard of living so I can pay more for more expensive electricity. That’s obscene!
The people in this …
The people in this country that are saving allot of money on there homes energy are making changes and investing in there own systems and not ing about why they can,t get cheep power and waist it like you.I suggest you close the door on your trailer home,turn off the gas fireplace and wait until the power fairy arrives at your door with endless free power.
I don’t understand …
I don’t understand why one can’t have abundant power to live well without someone trying to tell me how to live. I’ve lived in other countries where energy was very expensive and institutions where people study and work were always dark and uncomfortable, all in the name of conservation. That isn’t the quality of life that I want. The idea that solar energy is supposed to be cheaper and provide has never come to fruition for 30 years.
Sound so easy to …
Sound so easy to install, but will Hydro like the competition?
The range can be …
The range can be extended easily! I figured that out a long time ago!
Just AWESOME, my …
Just AWESOME, my mind is swimming in ideas by knowing this!!!! omg
But uhh. What about …
But uhh. What about at Night time XD
it would be awesome …
it would be awesome if they replaced the 9v battery with solar power.
spectacular, but …
spectacular, but yeah night time would still be a challenge
If you took 10 …
If you took 10 florescent light tubes and spray painted them black. Then connect them in series. Lay them in the sun over a large mirror. The heat from the sun will activate the phosphor particles in the tubes, generating a current across the gas inside that amplifies itself along the axis of the tube. This is known as the “Shtupp effect”, named after the famous German scientist Werner Von Humpenshtuppen. The energy produced in this small system can power a locomotive.
I have solar …
I have solar lighting already, its called a window.
This video is …
This video is informative, tho seasonal effective disorder? I have to laugh at that one.
Can you provide a …
Can you provide a source for your infomation? I just googled Werner and it only showed your comment here.
That’s why its …
That’s why its called HYBRID solar lighting, at night nearly 100% of the power is from the lights, during the day about 20% depending on weather.
Humpenshtuppen, …
Humpenshtuppen, read it slowly
It amazes me how …
It amazes me how many times the wheel gets reinvented. They used to use prisms to light lower levels of ships, yet this is considered cutting edge technology?
hey I have a use …
hey I have a use for this that you have not thought of It could be very …very lucrative …I am trying to file a patent right now for it but I need to show it would work. so contact me please with your email….I will really revolutionize the world.
Why run the solar …
Why run the solar tracker on a 9v battery (irony) why not solar cells?
As for the limited range, can mirrors or Fresnel lenses be used in a chain of sorts, to reach other floors?
Great Idea but why …
Great Idea but why does everybody use a dish why not use a globe shape solar collector. Dishes always need to move but a ball shaped solar collecting, can get all angles on its panels. A application like a light hub, for your limitations of transfering the light across the entire building, just use a hub of collecting the energy and send it to a electric battery and then send it to the second floor.
hey send me details …
hey send me details about your product and the cost.
PV cells must be aimed at the sun to generate power or in the case of mirrors the mirrors aimed at the PV cells.
Capital cost is a present problem with solar PV equipment.
When you use a globe shape and increase the use of solar cells the cost would skyrocket.
Thanks for sharing this video. It was extreamly interesting. The Productivity level of people working in a natual light envoriment is also something that would inprove with their disposition.
