PRAM: transmitting electricity through satellites
Scientists have made tests with solar panels, which can transmit electric energy from space to Earth. The panels received the name PRAM.
Fresnel linear concentrator
The Fresnel linear concentrator is a little known form of thermal solar energy generation. The operation of this technology is today’s subject.
Stirling engine: What is it and how it works?
Stirling engine is of external combustion. Created in 1816 by Stirling brothers to be an alternative to steam engines, which were dangerous at that time.
