HOW BIG MUST A SOLAR PANEL BE TO POWER A TRAIN?
May 21st
Question by :
how huge must a solar panel be to power a train?
If the schematics of a solar train were drawn, what would they look like? Would the train be huge or small? Where would the panels be placed? And if so, how huge must the panels be to fit the roof?
Even more so, does the panel need to be a certain size to fit on a cargo train of any kind or a passenger train of any kind?

WIND POWER; RATIONAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICITY?
May 2nd
Question by malice:
wind power; rational energy into electricity?
how does wind power work?
i know that
the turbine blades capture wind energy and begin moving,
they spin a shaft that leads from the hub of the rotor to a generator
The generator turns that rotational energy into electricity.
but how does the generator turn the rotational energy into electricity?
please include a reference if you can.
thanks

Q&A: DOES SUNLIGHT IN WINTER HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF POWER FOR A SOLAR PANEL?
Apr 27th
Question by :
does sunlight in winter have the same amount of power for a solar panel?
if you have a solar panel perfectly angled (i.e. perpendicular to sun based on time and season) will it in theory produce the same amount of power regardless of season?

WHAT MAJORS TO PURSUE FOR ENERGY/SOLAR POWER JOB?
Apr 20th
Question by Q&A Chick:
What majors to pursue for energy/solar power job?
I’m looking for different majors to pursue for college and, for fun, I decided to stray away from the ordinary boring ones.
I figured solar/energy-saving power is probably going to become a huge business, but what majors are there to pursue?
I’d just like some ideas, but if I might ask try to keep it less general. (For example, please do not simply state “the sciences” unless you might be able to briefly explain a branch of science in particular!)

DOES IT COST MORE TO USE WIND POWER OR ELECTRICITY?
Apr 15th
Question by :
Does it Cost More To Use Wind Power Or Electricity?
I’m In Environmental Earth Science and have to do this project on wind-power, So I was wondering does it cost more to use Wind-Power (Like Wind Farms) or electricity. Which one would save more money, && which one would be superior for the environment.
So I was wondering does it cost more to use Wind-Power (Like Wind Farms) or electricity
So answer question 1 ( Which one would save more money)
&& Question 2 (which one would be superior for the environment. )
No I do not mean like that, I mean Would it be cheaper for me to use electricity or wind power in my house.
And which would be superior for the environment

WIRING A 12V SOLAR PANEL AND AN EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE (HOUSE OUTLET) TOGETHER ON A SWITCH TO POWER A 50W RADIO?
Apr 5th
Question by Anthony G:
Wiring a 12V Solar panel and an external power source (house outlet) together on a switch to power a 50W Radio?
Building a case that has 5 Handheld radios with a 50W mobile radio on the top. I have a 12V solar panel. Is it possible to wire the solar panel to the radio and put it on a switch so that you can change from uninterrupted power (house current) to the solar panel to power the radio? Looking for the easiest and cheapest way to do this.
