Hello free energy people, Today a solar panel charging a battery and a energizer with acceleration. I have made a generator model with very long coils, similar to long coils on the pictures for the ‘ecklin brown’ generator. The induction of these coils is simply insufficient in order to detect any lenz or anti lenz effects. A new design of my own is coming up and this one will deal with the inductive qualities and keeping the time constant in mind( because that I really want to find.) For now the generator is turned to a motor, because its worth a try! Strange enough the spike gives acceleration at loads with a relative high impedance and not at dead short. ( maybe the time constant has something to do with this after all, not sure) I have installed a 240 watt/p solar panel and a 20 A charge controller, wires from the solar panel are 0.01 ohms each. I am still in doubt if I want to buy a battery of 180 AH (80 x 2 + 20 AH) or some thing 5 times the size, more like 400 AH in order to keep the duty cycle reduced to minimum. For sure I will order an AGM battery and a pure sine wave inverter. This system will light the lights of the house. Thanks for watching! JP Video Rating: 5 / 5
A cutting edge Israeli company demonstrates the reality of solar power on a large scale. Yishai Fleisher, JewishPress.com Managing Editor, visits Arava Power in Kibbutz Ketura 50 km north of Eilat in Southern Israel. He interviews Yosef Abramowitz (President of Arava Power). Arava Power has built Israel’s first commercial solar field which is also the first solar power farm array in the Middle East. This solar field will soon be ramping up to a gigantic 40 megawatts of power which will meet a full third of the power needs of the city of Eilat. Eilat uses 120 megawatts at peak energy (all air conditioners on in every house and every hotel). Music by RebbeSoul: rebbesoul.com
The further expansion of Renewable Energies is key to achieving the EU climate targets set for 2050. Following the 2009 Renewables directive and the National Renewables Action Plans determining the growth path up to 2020, discussion has now started on the post-2020 Renewables policy. Building on the EU Energy Roadmap 2050, the EU Commission has initiated the discussion with the recent renewables consultation followed by the Communication on Renewable Energy. Are 2030 renewables targets needed ? How can we balance the required investments with reducing the costs of renewables? How can EU member states cooperate more closely on jointly fulfilling the renewables targets? Interviewees: Bendt BENDTSEN, MEP Mike WINKEL, CEO E.ON Climate & Renewables Konstantin ST ASCHUS, Secretary-General, ENTSO-E Jason ANDERSON, Head, EU Climate & Energy Policy, WWF Peter BRUN, Group Senior Vice President, Vestas Wind Systems

Campbell Scientific offers pre-configured and custom automated data acquisition packages specifically designed for solar monitoring applications. A full range of pre-configured packages are available for photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar technology (CST) arrays of all sizes. Two such packages are the SOLAR1000 and CST100, designed to meet CaISO EIRP Solar Telemetry Standards. The SOLAR1000 is an automated data acquisition package designed for flat panel PV monitoring applications. Typical uses include pre-construction phase solar resource assessment, baseline data collection, and performance monitoring. The CST100 is an automated data acquisition package specifically designed for CST monitoring applications where active, direct normal and diffuse irradiance measurements are required. Typical uses include research & development, resource assessment, and performance monitoring of concentrated solar power (CSP) and concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) technologies.

Sinking revenues and shrinking policy support may be causing a bit of a haze on the renewable energy horizon, but there’s plenty of sunshine trying to peek through if you look hard enough.

They say nothing can get done in Washington, D.C. on the issue of clean energy, which has become a political lightening rod over the last year. With Congress at a high watermark of partisanship, accusations abound on Capitol Hill that American energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and the policies that support them are job killers and a money-wasting hoax on taxpayers. And yet, there’s reason for optimism about energy innovation in this country. Why? Because the most powerful force in the world, the U.S. military, is mobilizing on a clean energy mission — and I believe they’re going to win this war.
