Vacuum tubes of ultrahigh thermal conductivity (SV-pipes) are work with the same principle as the ordinary vacuum tubes, and have all the above advantages. But they have some fundamental differences, which significantly increase their effectiveness. Not thermos flask is vacuumed in SV-evacuated tubes, but the entire space of the pipe that reduces heat losses to a minimum. As a result, …

I remember the controllers in gas masks working at the crossroads of Tokyo in the mid 60’s. Yes, negative effects of industrialization and urbanization have reached Japan earlier and more painful than other developed countries. However, a country of volcanoes and earthquakes coped with the new of her disasters called “Kogan” (that is to say, industrial pollution of nature) more …

"EV's will significantly contribute to the reduction of atmospheric pollution, particularly if their 'fuel' is clean, green electricity," explained Heslin. "Real, system-wide change will come when we combine energy efficiency, energy conservation and a shift from carbon-emitting fuels to sustainable energy."

So we just recently hit the switches on our new solar power for our home. It was a long journey and now we are thrilled to be reaping the rewards of our patience and persistence in moving forward with this project. Now comes the holiday season and it is time for the decorations to go up on our house. So I mentioned to my wife that maybe we could somehow incorporate solar into the Christmas display too.

We continue speaking about the tube solar power collectors. Due to the fact that the coolant flows directly through the pipe in the reservoirs they have, there are difficulties in the installation. Each tube should be connected to the system separately in order to avoid leakage of coolant. We need also serious maintenance, because leakage or mechanical damage even of …
