People are unrealistic, we got nothing better then nuclear, but they're turning those off and re-starting coal plants, you know what they keep finding in chem trails? Coal plant waste. And no, it's no myth, it's a platform for implementation of weather controlling technology in use for 50+ years, in the last 20 years especially. Germany admitted helping the US chem trail their way out of "climate crisis", but what is sold to us as climate crisis is chem trail side effect of occasional weather not characteristic for that particular area, nothing more. Besides having ever increasing respiratory issues reported around the world since the started chem trailing, increase of skin and lung cancer, increase of acidity(do to metals) of anything from the oceans, the soil, the air, our bodies and food of course, by default. And with soil acidity you get more dead trees, that are again the exact reason we have so many fires every year do to dead, dry trees. WATCH The Dimming, on you tube if you find the time, it's the most important agenda pulled on us above all others, proven right once again.

The only interesting stuff was the idea of price tags adjusting to best before. The rest is just the same shit I saw 10 years ago.

They are not even discussing the need for the necessity of having at least 60% back up reserve power to be able to come on line. Say when the sun comes up and everyone is getting ready to work and school and then running the machinery and those buildings lights heaters computers etc. the best they can do is 20%. And they want you all driving electric vehicles.

@@whereswaldo5740 I always thought the problem was when everyone gets back home in the evening. And also what about rainy days or north/south latitudes

Don't we all have like 5 separate power grids across America? Wouldn't the changes be at the company level? In Texas the power comes from ERCOT. They can't even keep up with the demand requirements abd are constantly having brown outs. All these great ideas but likely they can only be implemented at the personal level and even as a home owner,I find a solution, it's illegal for me to get off the grid. I think that's the main reason this issue is stagnated.

6kW is the energieproduction for a single panel not for the entire train. Trainengins seem to have around 1-2MW +. Enough solar panels to move it but you wont be going fast.

Being made in 1949, that train would be very heavy. Get the weight down somehow and it could operate at a higher speed and put more into the grid. Would need a new chassis and cabin made from modern materials. Carry over the wheels, motors, and electronics. Beyond the probable budget I think.

the panels aren't used to power the train. They are used to power the small bar fridges in the sleep over cabins. Huge savings. Cost to power one bar fridge for a year $2. Cost to install one solar panel on train $5000. Shouldn't take long to break even.

No kidding. 6k would barely run my ac.

MAUI

It can fry a lot of birds

I can't wait to be microwaved from orbit... 😅

Look at Aptera.

yes new gas and oil fields

My brain also immediately wanted them to push the dust instead of pulling it. I could see the wind just blowing it right back off the magnet if the wind is strong enough.

@@LinkoliteI have a feeling pushing the debris off could potentially ding the panels, creating micro scratches that end up collecting more debris thereby reducing efficiency of the panels to a greater extent

today solar panels are almost twice as efficient as they were 15 years ago, and price per watt is much less than half of what it was...in my book that is progress !!

The problem is that some people don't Google it, or don't look at the date if they do, and still claim that a solar panel is $1000 and produces maybe 10W, and the sun might go out at random any moment- not "panels produce less if it is cloudy so the power company needs to check the weather report", some people apparently haven't heard of clocks and assume that night can happen at any time without warning and last for weeks... Anyways, every now and then someone asks how much solar costs and it gets weird how among the answers quoting recent prices from Tesla and other such producers there is usually that one guy who talks about less than 10% efficient and $10+ per watt panels when modern rooftop installation at home is considered expensive at $5/W when including cost of work and all the other electronics.

Solar panels have been in use in sailboats for nearly 30 years. About every few years, the efficiency has doubled. If you live near water, I would recommend solar panels, as light is reflected from water, improving the results (the reason why you get sunburnt more easily near/at oceans and lakes). If you live in flat area without hurricanes, I would recommend wind (even areas where temperatures go below zero, you simply need a specialised turbine). If you live in an area where the climate has a lot of temperature fluctuations between seasons, geothermal is your friend. Renewable energy isn't one size fits all. You need to think where you live, and what you use it for (heating and AC take a lot if you don't use geothermal). Also, are you moving often, do you live in a farm, do you live in an apartment, do you live in a trailer house, do you live near rivers, do you live near a desert or a lake. It's not so much that the abilities of these technologies change completely. It's that you need to choose one that fits both your lifestyle, climate and geographical location, to get out the best results. Some solar panel companies offer reduced prices to replace your panels to newer ones. Solar does have the benefit that you can uproot the panels and take them with you if you move house (if you have the knowhow, you can do it by yourself). Look into weaknesses and streghts of the area you live in, and choose the technologies that benefit the most from your living conditions. Also, the technology that has been on the market for few years, is usually more reliable: If it hit the market just this year, wait and see if its any good. Check the sources of your information: A wind tech company might disparage sun technology and vice versa, if they both offer products in your area. Companies that offer both, will be more honest about the individual weaknesses (but may disparage other technology that they don't sell).

@@AnalystPrime plus you get government grants for doing such. You install solar and you can get price offed off the panel's cost or even gain some money.

I thought it was gone because thief

hey you pointed out a very weakness of this project. Thats quite practical.

Pessimism NOT the father of invention.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I completely agree with your ideas on improving the glass ball concentrator. It's exciting to see the advancements in solar energy technologies. By incorporating materials like PV or thermal modules with high absorption pigment coating and reducing moving parts, we can indeed take solar energy to a whole new level. The possibilities are endless, and it's great to see innovations like this being explored.

The Aptera is a hidden gem. It will eliminate the need for electricity or gas for some commuters. The designers are doing a fantastic job in designing it. It should be getting much more press attention.

Yep. This is why you should invest in several technologies simultaneously: Using the one that gives you energy the moment you need it, eliminating the need to storage. Old, "one big powerplant per town"- systems won't work. Instead it's several small ones all around, using different technologies in the same grid.

Dumb people have a problem with that question, but the answers are easily found. Ask a smart person how to go about it.

they can be recycled, but think also about what end of life for a solar panel means...after about 20-30 years their efficiency will be down by about 15-30 percent...still very usable output in my book...

Yeah, too easy. Like the apartment complex in the video. WHO exactly pays for the solar panels, converters and workers to install all of them? Sure..."Their power bill is 50% less"... But WHERE does the money to do it come from??

@@RILEYLEIFSON_UTAH Very often, the Installer shares in the value of the power output, and sells it back to the building's occupants or the grid. Everyone benefits.

All the big companies are all over - there’s cash to be made so they are all doing research . My son is working on re purposing carbon fibre ! Shh don’t tell the Chinese !

Will you please enlighten me with its use, good sir?

In the American southwest it's a big problem because dust storms are frequent

How much capacity has reduced since you bought them? I heard that solar panels capacity decreases every year.

there is no green-house effect...or is there ?!?! that's why !

the smart guy is gonna figure out how to use CO2 as a car fuel and destroy it in the process. Then they'll need to find a new boogie man.

Read up on the science behind CO2 and how it traps the sun's energy. Just look at Venus...not our responsibility to educate your ignorance.

Is the point of green energy is to have energy sources that don't damage or pollute the environment. That's why we're trying to find safer and better ways to make batteries.

​@@michealfreeman9714 CO2 is not a polutant. Its plant food.

Ale tu był chyba pokazany sklep na Orlenie, ciekawa sprawa z tymi cenowymi tagami, muszę to sprawdzić osobiście! Pozdrawiam!🙋‍♂️

Aptera is actually considered a motorcycle I think.

@@drakemia4079 i believe it is classified as an Autocycle. Which is why you don't need a helmet to ride that.

@@Soothsayer210 thanks for clearing that up.

Yeah, walk in wearing a nice suit and a gold watch. All of a sudden the prices go up...

After the success of this experiment, it will be developed, and a building will be built that resembles the shape of vertical buildings, hotel buildings, and apartments, and inside it there will be solar panels stacked on top of each other, and the windows of the building will be made of glass with convex lenses, and from the top of the building a huge round lens, and the external lenses of the building will collect light inside rooms coated with paint that reflects the sun’s rays, by 100 percent. Inside the room, holes are fiber optics that transmit light to solar cells that collect light, and from behind the building, air conditioners help cool the building and solar panels.

Was looking for this comment

Gain is still positive but overall😂😂

Japan is starting this project. They use mirrors to reflect all solar radiation back to the ground. This method is the most efficient. Visible light makes up only 20% of solar radiation.

Sure. Though a medium sized nuclear reactor will produce the same power in a fraction of the space.

@@alvarofernandez5118 That might be relevant if you were Singapore or Monaco or Vatican and actually had an issue with lack of space to put solar panels. For every other application the huge cost and far longer build time kills the possibility of nuclear power being viable. And the fact that solar panels can be recycled and nuclear waste can not does not help your argument either.

@@alvarofernandez5118 you can't very affordably and easily install a nuclear reactor on your roof-top...can you ??

@@AnalystPrime with you ! ...and space is also easily available on most roof-tops...

"Resistance is useless!!"

(1) Solar panels lose efficiency as they heat up (2) I'm sure the people working on the cutting edge of these technologies have explored this...

@@nonombre8589 if they are shit when they get hot, just pump cold gas into the sealed box, there, next issue?

Similarly ive been thinking about small scale concentrated solar via frensel lense thats a steam generator water desalinator in one. Don't ask how it would work

Same here better stick with good old nuclear reactors and fund for nuclear fusion

yes new gas and oil fields

you are deranged

Just make the solar panels not fixed to the frame and secure them with chain links and the people can carry them this way the solar panels get sunlight and the people on top get shade. 2 Birds 1 stone💪

Bro nobody rides on the top on the trains here over 90%trains are electrified.

Thing is, you dont increase the amount of energy, you just focus that energy into 1 little point. Which is why a magnifying glasses can ignite stuff, not because it "increases" the energy, but it focuses the energy into a concentrated point.

@Ngoc Quynh Nhu Huynh because the NASA Rover solar panels always get cleaned some how 😲

I was wondering about those cleaning lasers that focus on dirt and rust but idk, may damage the panels solar collectors
