All you need to know about Printing Solar Cells

Haroon — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 17:08:34 +0000

It is true that solar cells can be printed. They can be made at home by simply painting layers of specific material on top of each other. They can also be printed using an inkjet printer. This will be covered in this article including the costs for ink. There are two different categories of cells, namely Organic and Inorganic PV cells that can be printed. In the inorganic category, it is the Perovskite cells, that have recently generated a lot of excitement. This is because printed organic cells normally have a lower efficiency. However with printed Perovskite cells, we are

5 Planet saving hacks

Haroon — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 20:15:53 +0000

We share some planet saving tips that everyone can follow: 1. Switch to LED bulbs LED bulbs use 5 times less energy compared to traditional (incandescent) bulbs And almost half the energy used by tube lights.Switching to LED light alone would help save 400 million tonnes of CO2 annually. 2. Only boil water that you need Every extra cup of water that you boil that is not used ultimately results in more carbon in the environment. The energy in the extra cup of boiled water can run a “11 W” L.E.D light bulb for over two hours. 3.Switch to Reusable bags /Cut

Solar air Heaters can be made easily at home with recyclable materials. In this article, we will try to explain what are the best practices for making efficient solar air heaters. Solar Air Heaters are a very cost effective way of achieving heating and ventilation. With so many packaging materials ending up in waste it is very easy to make a solar air heater almost free of cost. To make a heater that is efficient, one has to understand the mechanism, which we will try to explain in this article. There are many designs for solar air heaters available on

Most of us know that Barry Allen or The Flash can tap into “Speed Force”, a supposedly scientific concept that has been created in the comics. This allows him not only to gain extremely high speeds, but also the ability to time travel and to alter reality. The Flash is not alone is using the “Speed Force”. There are many other characters in the Comic universe that can attain extremely high speeds that is even comparable to speed of light. So much so that they have the capability of disrupting the space time continuum. However many times concepts are shown

Cyborg-Is the possibility near?

Haroon — Thu, 30 Nov 2017 10:34:39 +0000

It is no coincidence, that the golden age of comic books corresponded with the technological revolution and the space exploration. There was an explosion of ideas with what we can do with emerging technology. Among them was the very profound idea of amalgamating human body with machines. This concept went beyond exoskeleton for armour and prosthetics for amputees and disabled. In Fact, they ventured into enhancing humans through machines. Hence many of ideas of not just Androids ( or Human Shaped robots) emerged in the golden era of comic books but also the concept of Cyborgs that had both Organic

Many of you would remember the Iconic scene from the 2013 movie Man of Steel, where Henry Cavill’s Superman Character is learning to Fly and and is shown to eventually break the sound barrier. It should be noted that flight characteristics change dramatically as an object goes from subsonic speed i.e. slower than sound speeds to supersonic speed. So let’s explore that. You throw a stone in a pond and a ripple is created that propagates in all directions. Imagine now that a stone or any object is moving in a particular direction in water. As it moves and

Perpetual Motion Machines, still fooling people

Haroon — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 11:55:06 +0000

In this day an age, one would imagine that the concept of Perpetual Motion Machines, that promise energy literally out of thin air would be consigned to the bin. That is not the case however. Day in day out on the internet and in particular social media one can notice many inventions that claim free energy. These are machines that seemingly defy the laws of thermodynamics. They deny the principles on which the development of modern civilisation rests. These machines, mostly electrical generators are given fancy names like Zero Energy or Black Energy generator etc. If you dissect these machines, you
