The test saw the Solar Impulse take some slow steps down the runway using four solar-powered electric motors. The plane taxied without landing gear -- just like in a normal takeoff. Now that the runway test was successful, the Solar Impulse team will taxi to takeoff speed and let the plane take...
A new spacecraft is being launched in about a year, one designed to travel across the solar system. But instead of using rockets to propel itself, it uses sails. Sails pushed by light.
Starlight carries not only energy but momentum. Comet tails, for example, are the result of light blowing...
We'll suspend our general disbelief for a moment to talk about the Renu, an unbelievable but incredible solar product that's actually coming to market next year.
The ReNu probably doesn't work as you'd imagine from looking at the photograph. Sure, you see an iPod dock with speakers, just as...

Rechargeable batteries can be a bit of a pain—you have to carry around an adapter, find an outlet, and even bend over to plug in the adapter. It's hell, really.
The SunCat batteries solve all of these issues while giving the environment a firm pat on the butt by wrapping standard NiMH...
I'm doing a science project, and one site states that they are different, while other sites use "solar panels" and "photovoltaic panels" interchangeably. So are they the same thing, or are they different?
If they're different, how do they differ?
Thanks!
Oh, okay. Thanks! :)
Are there any...
I have a Garmin 60 Csx and am looking into solar power. I know that the unit has a 4 prong plug on the back for charging (I believe at 5V). I'm wondering, if I take 5V worth of solar cells and wire them to the charger cable it would work. The reason why I'm not so sure is because ideally I would...
