Transparent Solar Cells

Conversion efficiency of solar cells is small and it needs more space to install solar panels or collectors to produce scale-able electric power. The potential of solar energy is enormous that’s why a lot the design of more and more efficient system is a hot topic of research in the field of energy and power.  

Generating Electricity from Solar Balloon

Balloon is such a common thing that everyone must be familiar with. Material of balloon is of elastic nature that expands to a certain limit when pushed equally from all sides by inside pressurized gas. Pressure inside the balloon can be generated by two methods. Firstly by pushing more air/gas in the balloon as we do when inflate the balloon. Secondly by heating the inside air/gas so that the air/gas molecules occupy more space and hence inflate the balloon. Inflating and playing with balloons is fun for children but scientist came up with a remarkable idea to use these balloons for the production of electricity from sun. A nice idea in this regard is discussed as follows.
