It's been a long time I'm thinking about making a solar-powered water pump for my farm. I already have a 100 w solar panel, which I bought for making my off-grid system. It's the perfect time to make a solar-powered water pump. Which type of water pump I'm gonna make? I thought for a moment. Watched a few YouTube videos, referred to some blogs, and decided to make a Centrifugal pump.  How Centrifugal pumps work?  Centrifugal pumps are hydraulically operated machines characterized by their ability to transmit energy to fluids (in particular to liquids) through the work of a field of centrifugal forces. Their main purpose is to transfer fluids through an increase in pressure. Centrifugal pumps can have different structures, but their operating principle and fluid dynamic characteristics are always the same. How I Just kick Started my Off-grid Life with This Small Yet Powerful Solar Inverter System Schematically, centrifugal pumps are formed of an impeller that rotates ins...

Solar power is enormous. We must harness to its maximum. In this video I’m gonna show you How I created a solar water heater with spiral copper pipe. Pls comment Your opinion below.

Did you know the world’s energy needs for one year can be covered by the sun generating power for only one minute? In fact, within 24 hours the Sun is able to generate more energy than the entire population would consume in 27 years. Thus, solar energy is not only a truly reliable and lasting energy source but also a very cost-effective and efficient one, if the chosen types of solar panels and the environment are perfectly matched to one another. Such promising prospects have grown in an industry that has put a lot of effort into developing efficient techniques to generate, use, and store the sun’s energy by using different types of solar panels and converting the sunlight into valuable electricity. Hundreds of solar cells (also called photovoltaic cells) make up a solar photovoltaic (PV) array. Solar cells are the components of solar arrays that convert radiant light from the sun into electricity that is then used to power electrical devices and heat and cool homes and businesses. So...

Can Ocean Thermal Energy conversion provide a substantial amount of power for the world? The research is going on and engineers are confident. it’s good news.  When I look at the ocean, the Sun, the only thing that comes into my mind is their massive energy. I always wonder why we burn fossil fuels and destroy the planet when we have these massive energy sources?  Three-quarters of the earth’s surface is covered by oceans, a huge source of non -polluting and inexhaustible energy.  Did you know that we can use natural temperature differences in an ocean to produce clean electricity day and night and all year round?   The process by which this is possible is called Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC).OTEC uses the temperature difference between warmer and cooler layers of ocean water.  The surface layer of an ocean will be warmer than the deeper layers since it is exposed to solar radiation. In Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion we consider the upper wa...

  I have a personal vision. A change that I want to see in this world. There is a famous quote in the movie "Aeronauts" as follows, "You don't change the world just by looking at it. You change it through the way you choose to live in it. I want to see every household in this world self-sufficient in terms of energy. We have these renewable energy sources. Solar energy is available almost everywhere. Can't we utilize this potential to power our households 365 days a year?  This vision of mine is the reason why I started this blog and my vlog on YouTube. I'm giving awareness and teaching about renewable energy technologies in a format that is accessible to a global audience. So if you are a renewable energy enthusiast, kindly subscribe to this blog and my YouTube channel. By the way, let's move on to today's topic. That is On-grid or grid-tie solar power systems.  Grid-Tie Solar Power Systems Grid-tie solar systems are designed for those who already ha...

Hi, this is New Physicist again. Today we are going to learn about three different types of solar power systems. We all know that solar power is gaining more and more attention these days. In the past, solar power system components were very expensive but recent technological developments have made a drastic reduction in the cost of solar power components, mainly solar panels and batteries. By installing solar power systems you can reduce your electricity bills. But there are different types of solar power systems that you can adopt for your property. You can decide which one is suitable for you after learning about them. Let's get started. Different Types of Solar Power Systems  1. Off-grid Solar Power system AC based Offgrid Solar System An off-grid solar system is a stand-alone unit that is not connected to the electricity grid. These systems are typically remote where the cost of running a utility connection is more expensive then purchasing an off grid solar system.Off-grid So...

How does horizontal axis wind turbine work? Hope this post will help a lot of renewable energy enthusiasts. So share it with your friends and keep reading. As you know, there are different types of wind turbines. But the most popular and widely used one is the horizontal axis wind turbine. How does a horizontal axis wind turbine work? You know what wind power is the fastest-growing renewable energy source in the world. That’s why I love to talk about wind turbines and make projects. Let’s take a look at the most important components of a wind turbine. A horizontal axis wind turbine has four important components and two controlling mechanisms. They are the Propeller, gearbox, dynamo, and tower. Besides, there are two controlling systems called yaw mechanism and pitch control mechanisms in a wind turbine.

Hi, welcome back to new Physicist. There are two types of crystalline silicon solar cells. Monocrystalline and polycrystalline. What’s the difference between them? How they are manufactured? Why one is much more efficient than others? Why polycrystalline solar cell surface looks like cracked glass?  Once I learned about What’s happening inside a solar cell factory all my doubts vanished. Do you know, How crystalline solar cells are manufactured?  It all starts with the raw material, which in this case is sand or quartzite, more precisely silicon dioxide, from which we’ve to extract precious silicon. Silicon is abundantly available, making it the second most available element on Earth.  Together with coal or other sources of carbon, the silicon sand is melted down at over 2000 degrees Celsius in an electro arc furnace. The result is metallurgical silicon with a purity of 99%.  The silicon is collected, usually in the form of solid rocks. These rocks are being melted t...

Solar cells are the smallest unit of a solar panel. Understanding how a solar cell works easily if you know how a P-N junction diode works? Do you know that? I know most of you know that. However, I will explain how solar cell works in step by step using images. You can also watch the video I embedded below. Solar cells, also called photovoltaic cells are made up of semiconductors, materials that have a conductivity between that of an insulator and conductor. In essence, a solar cell is a junction of two dissimilar semiconducting materials, known as p-type and n-type semiconductors. Both of these can be made from crystalline silicon.  Dopping Since silicon on its own does not conduct electricity other atoms are added to silicon’s structure. This process of adding other atoms called impurities to silicon structure is called doping. Pure silicon has a diamond-like structure called silicon lattice. Its four valence bond electrons allow it to perfectly bond to four of its silicon neighbors...
