Zajímá vás, kolik sluneční energie dopadá na vaši střechu? Jak často a moc fouká? Který profil vrtule větrníku je nejlepší? Nebo hledáte návod na výrobu domácí solární sušičky? Právě pro
Pump draws water from the bloodstream of a stream or river to the elevated places – for example, reservoir, or irrigation channel. It uses the kinetic energy of the flowing water, so their work doesn't need
Drying food in the sun is a method of preserving food known for thousands of years. To this day in many, especially the poor and to the equator the closer countries, dried foods in direct Sunlight. The most commonly
Vertical axis wind turbine, an invention more than a millennium old, or also a patent from 1977 and one of the stepping stones for other modern turbine types.
The Lenz turbine belongs to the group of vertical omnidirectional turbines and its design strongly resembles a Darrieus wind turbine with a "hollowed out" wing interior. It is evident that the author tries to combine two basic principles, namely the resistive
Resistance turbine with horizontally oriented axis of rotation. The fancy-looking wind turbine's name refers to the geometric constructions of the mathematician and physicist from Syracuse, Archimedes. The profiling is based on the shells of molluscs and snails.
Evaporative cooling of water from the surface of the ceramic material known as terracotta (terracotta). Water absorption terracotta keeps the material constantly moist. This property is used to cool the rooms.
