Here’s an interesting article I came across whilst on my internet travels. The new ‘Walking Solar House‘. The concept is to allow a person to live a peaceful nomadic life… on the move by means of actuated legs attached to the housing module. Energy is collected from a variety of platforms including; solar cells and small windmills. Other eco-systems included with the portable solar house include; rain water collection and solar heated hot water. A small greenhouse can also be added to the rear of the ‘house on legs’ module.

The raging debate on whether ‘free energy devices’ exist or not, or whether we should even be calling them “free energy devices” continues unabated.
I’d like to bring such matters to the attention of my readers. The aim is to share ideas, provoke debate, and above all make people question the very fabric of the world in which they live. In particular, question why we still rely on fossil fuels when there are a plethora of sustainable, alternative and dare I say, free energy devices out there.

We live in a world full of actualities, and known truths. The irony is the fact that we base most of our understanding on things we know very little about. Free energy and gravity are two such unknown truths. They wait in the shadows patiently until they can hide no longer. It is up to us to set them free! Read more…

The brainiacs over at MIT claim to have discovered a way of storing solar power. They have effectively built a sun battery.
In one hour, the amount of Sun which hits the face of the Earth would provide enough energy to power the whole World for one year.
To utilize all this ‘free and abundant energy‘, they have figured out a way of efficiently splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using Earth abundant materials. MIT also claim they can safely and easily extract hydrogen using water at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. Read more…

Building a parabolic solar oven really isn’t as difficult as it may seem, once the basics are first understood.
There are many popular solar cookers in use today, including the Sun Oven, Sports Solar Oven, and the Cookit, to name but a few. However they all adopt either the solar box or solar trough design. Very few designs are actually parabolic, those that are, are generally quite expensive like the SK-14, compared to the more popular designs. The box solar cooker for example, is simply a cardboard box with reflective panels and a pane of glass which traps hot air in a box.
So what is a parabolic solar oven?

What is the perfect solar cooker? How should it function and perform? And most importantly should it be cost effective and comparable to the more conventional cooking methods thus offering an alternative to our current reliance of fuel sources?
Solar ovens aka solar cookers fall into 3 distinct categories; the box solar cooker design, trough design and the parabolic cooker design. Each design offers its own features, benefits and drawbacks: -
For more information on the different types of solar oven, please visit types of Solar Cooker
Taking these factors into account, one must balance up the pros and cons of what the needs are for the end user. The predominant market for solar cookers includes developing countries, Tibet (lack of fire wood), China and India.
The Western world is now starting to harness solar cooking with the advent of peak oil prices starting to affect us all. Read more…
