 | Building a parabolic solar grill helps to understand the principle of sunlight concentration. This technique is already used in experimental solar power plants. Parabolic mirrors focus the Sun's rays on black pipes in which water circulates. The heated water expands and turns into steam ... » parabolic, sunlight, mirrors, rays, pipes

 | Concept Building a solar boat is a good way too experiment the use of photovoltaic solar cells. Solar boats are an ecological means of transportation because they use the sun, a renewable and environmental friendly energy. In order to navigate by night and when the sun is too weak, solar boats ... » experiment, photovoltaic, ecological, renewable, batteries
