Dan, you could use some copper pipe and double as a solar water heater. Cool the panel, make hot water WIN – WIN
Free Energy is real but the coverup is strong, if you are interested in a REAL free energy machine then
just search for the LT MAGNET MOTOR in the youtube video search , it is probably the ONLY working magnet
motor out there. Join the free energy revolution!!
@karma7463AndSomeMore i wasnt being sarcastic honey
i wz askin for a process design or a layout to help understand u better
@marshalmathers88: I’m sure it would be helpful but I’m not technically skilled. I was just thinking that there are systems that use solar heat to provide for hot domestic water. Since this video proclaims an abundance of heat I just put one and two together. There probably would be a conflict since one systems needs to stay cool (PV) where the other actually needs to be hot (solar thermal). However there may be a sweet spot in the middle somewhere. Just my 2 cents…
@karma7463AndSomeMore : it would help if you’d give a practical example
Why not combine this idea with a flat plate thermal system. Not only could you cool the solar cells but you could harness the surplus energy (heat).
now someone needs to make a solar panel that can handle the full power a fresnel lens gives! then find a way to harnest the power in a cell for night use!
When focus sunlight on a PV do not have to watch the voltage but the current is much higher.
Thx Dan
Is it practical, or even possible, to make micro lenses with the same angular patterns as the Fresnel lens to place over each solar cell to maximize its input? Perhaps sheets of these can be made to match the size and cell-per-inch for solar panels?
good demonstration =D
r u working with any company developing CPV?
need some info with non-imaging optics
but fresnel lens sure rocks!
your popcorn exercise was great, you should have tried heating a material that can maintain heat , and please the pot /pan like a hot plate or grillet top
this is a completely different use for the lens, but i saw some youtube videos not too long ago about people making soda can heaters by removing the bottoms of cans and caulking them together to make tubes, where the lid of the cans compartment it so the sun has time to heat the air inside. just painted black the system turned 40 degree air into 200 degree air. i hope you see where I’m going with the focused lens… i also saw some of water heaters working similarly. hope this sparks good ideas!
@rainbowsalads that comment was meant for the latest video were the cable was heated up and melting due to the added mirrors.
mains cable = lower resistance .thin cable is great for making a nice filament , but will completely rob/convert your energy to heat, maybe even light…As we see here, smoke, at least 50 percent of the energy was wasted! Probably fortunate, in that the internal circuitry was protected due to this naf cable.
What would be the potential for combining such a panel with e.g. solar pool system to solve all problems?
By that I mean run water through capillary pipes behind the fresnel focused solar panel as a heat sink to dissipate the heat and at the same time create hot water for your pool/shower. The idea being to combine both panels into a single unit.
I’ve not seen any vids on making your own solar water/pool heating panels… do any exist, is that even feasible?
five stars
uh, wait, there are no more stars
Great stuff dude. Thanks!!
array of computer heat sinks?
Yeah. You do have a good Channel.
@rainbowsalads
Thank You!+++++++
Greenpower science is awesome!! My favourite channel. : P
@brianwesley28
I know that some are wondering how to couple the two? I know how.
@brianwesley28
With the funding, I could put something like that into production in short order. I design a lot of things in my head because I don’t have the money to design them elsewhere, at present.
@brianwesley28
The Peltier cells are generally used for heating and cooling, but when they are exposed to a temperature differential, they will produce electricity. That is a form of cooling if one is converting heat into electricity, with the added benefit of producing additional electricity. I’ve also thought about fresnel lenses directly on Peltier cells, but the ones designed to withstand that much heat are rather expensive.
