  2. Biosphere 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2

    Biosphere 2, with upgraded solar panels in foreground, sits on a sprawling 40-acre (16-hectare) science campus that is open to the public. The Biosphere 2 project was launched in 1984 by businessman and billionaire philanthropist Ed Bass and systems ecologist John P. Allen, with Bass providing US$150 million in funding until 1991. [7]

  3. Solar desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_desalination

    Inherent design problems face thermal solar desalination projects. First, the system's efficiency is governed by competing heat and mass transfer rates during evaporation and condensation. [1] Second, the heat of condensation is valuable because it takes large amounts of solar energy to evaporate water and generate saturated, vapor-laden hot ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_desalination...

    Indirect solar desalination systems comprise two sub-systems: a solar collection system and a desalination system. The solar collection system is used, either to collect heat using solar collectors and supply it via a heat exchanger to a thermal desalination process, or to convert electromagnetic solar radiation to electricity using photovoltaic cells to power an electricity-driven ...

  5. Solar updraft tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_updraft_tower

    The solar updraft tower (SUT) is a design concept for a renewable-energy power plant for generating electricity from low temperature solar heat. Sunshine heats the air beneath a very wide greenhouse-like roofed collector structure surrounding the central base of a very tall chimney tower.

  6. Sudbury Neutrino Observatory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudbury_Neutrino_Observatory

    The experiment observed the light produced by relativistic electrons in the water created by neutrino interactions. As relativistic electrons travel through a medium, they lose energy producing a cone of blue light through the Cherenkov effect , and it is this light that is directly detected.

  7. Floating solar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_solar

    Furthermore it is possible to install floating photovoltaic panels on the water basins of pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant. The hybridization of solar photovoltaic with pumped storage is beneficial in rising the capability of the two plant combined because the pumped hydroelectric plant can be used to store the high but unstable amount ...
