Direct Energy From The Sun
How can we use the sun's direct energy? Trees use the sun's direct energy very efficiently. Can we use the sun's direct energy as effectively as the trees? Pooling our ideas together and using the knowledge we already have, we may be able to achieve what the trees do naturally.
Below are methods that utilize the sun's direct energy:
Solar hot water heater panels
Photovoltaic cells
Solar hot air panels
Solar hot houses
Solar cookers
Solar cars, using photovoltaic cells
Solar air-conditioners
Distilling water, using solar hot water panels
Houses built to utilize the sun's energy, this is called passive solar building design
Is your family using any of the methods above to conserve non-renewable energy?
Energy we receive from the sun:
Light energy
Heat energy as infra-red radiation
Ultra violet light radiation
Do you use any of these forms of energy? Imagine if there was no sunlight, there'd be no power.
Someone claimed to be the light. Who was it? (See John chapter 1)
