Socrates ' solar house

Already the ancient Greeks didn't want in their homes in the winter freezing and summer boil. Therefore, devising solutions for its time very progressive. At present, many architects are turning to

Bâdgir – wind tower (scraper wind)

Temperatures are rising, and central Europe, including our country is slowly moving from a moderate podnebného zones to the subtropics. Ancient cooling and ventilation inventions that I still could only see in the south

Energy from biomass

What is biomass and how it used for heating, electricity production, or drive a car, this is discussed in the book Energy from biomass.

Convection solar panel – Morse wall

We will focus on the invention, which became the springboard for the Trombe wall and in the currently experiencing a renaissance, though it is still in the shadow of the more popular solar water heating. We'll be the Sun to warm the air.

Trombe wall

Popular, timeless, simple and fairly inexpensive. It might sound a brief characteristic of the passive tempering rooms the energy of the Sun using a trombe wall.

Wind-powered heating eddy current

The name refers to the wind turbine rotating permanent magnet stored in a hollow cylinder filled with fluid, which in this way we are trying to warm up. The whole magic is on the eddy currents, also referred to as Foucaultův

Parabolic solar cooker

The folding parabola with leaves decomposing like the petals of daisies. Or also a futuristic tube with a reflecting surface, into which you put the raw meat and pull the finished steak. Such are the forms of Solar,

Savonius rotor

Savoniův rotor uses the energy of the wind on a different principle than the propeller. It has other characteristics, the more favorable especially in low wind. In the book is described in detail the construction of the facilities and especially all the possible applications, such as pumping water, the production of compressed air, but mainly to the production of electric current. In detail, are discussed all types of generators ac and dc current, with excitation permanent magnet and continuous winding supplied by an external source. For all the structural variants are in tables and graphs demonstrated operational characteristics. Building instructions are accompanied by detailed drawings and diagrams. The obtained performance is up to 1 kW.
