Solar Radiation, New method for holding


The largest source of energy for our planet is the Sun. In one hour the Earth receives energy from the sun equal to the energy they consume in a year. This has in mind the modern physicists, engineers and then looking for new ways to exploit the solar radiation.
After the solar panels and continuous evolution, a new group of researchers from MIT claims that he found a more effective method for collecting solar energy. This method is based on the phenomenon Zempek (The direct conversion of heat into electricity), where with the help of nanotechnology makes it 8 times more efficient than any other solar thermal device.

The experimental setup that resembles the old solar panel is able to produce a temperature difference of about 200 degrees Kelvin between inner part and the exterior. This difference is then utilized to generate electricity.

The most important thing is that the cost of manufacturing such a device is very low. So much so that it can be accessible to every household in the near future.
