Climate Changer: Rawlemon Beta.ey, The Spherical Solar Charger

Solar start-up Rawlemon’s Andre Broessel, a German architect, has created a spherical sun-tracking solar energy generator to revolutionise renewable energy and solar power on Earth. The Rawlemon design uses a spherical lens to concentrate both sunlight and moonlight up to 10,000 times on a small photovoltaic panel and combines this with a dual-axis pivot that tracks the movement of the sun.

Can We Squeeze More Juice Out of the Sun?

What if many of the solar panels we have today – the enormous surface areas and requirement of being pointed directly at the sun in a cloudless sky – were replaced by a very large glass ball that concentrated daylight by 10,000 times, even on cloudy days?

Your yard, apartment building, or workplace might have something that looks like this:

Or maybe this:

Or a new high rise building in a…

Beta.ray: New Contender to Solar Energy Market - http://techacute.com/beta-ray-new-contender-solar-energy-market

The fossil energy we use nowadays has brought with it technological advancement but also mishaps such as pollution. This is the main reason why more and more people nowadays are looking for alternate means of energy without polluting the environment Rawlemon Beta.ray is trying to pioneer that. (more…)

Solar Ball is a new discovery for me that has a unique way to capture the suns rays and convert…

Spherical Solar Energy

Apparently it's sphere day at Albotas. (If you haven't yet, check out the Cocoon 1.) This futuristic contraption is a solar energy harvester. But rather than taking the form of a boring old slab of photovoltaic bleh, this one is a giant sphere. 35% reduced energy consumption? Whatever. I just want it because it looks cool.
