Part 1 of 2 so far… VisionsGreen Off-Grid Tiny Home with Solar Well Self Sustaining Property. We drill our own well using our plan, built an airlift pump also using our plan and set the well up to run on solar. The Tiny house is a work in progress, (also using our plan) we will update with more video as the project advances. Go to part 2 www.youtube.com we are VisionsGreen www.visionsgreen.com

SOLAR ACTIVITY PICKS UP: A sunspot located just behind the sun’s eastern limb is crackling with flares. A C5-class eruption during the waning hours of May 9th hurled a spectacular coronal mass ejection into space: Extreme ultraviolet images of the explosion’s aftermath taken by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory are a must-see. Earth was not in the line of fire this time, but the active region is approaching the Earthside of the sun, so future blasts could be geoeffective.

DemocracyNow.org – The Obama administration is facing scrutiny following the failure of a solar energy company that received half-a-billion dollars in government aid and then when bankrupt, laying off about a thousand workers. Newly disclosed internal White House emails show just 60 days after Obama took office, his administration rushed to approve a $535 million loan guarantee to the solar panel manufacturing company Solyndra, despite warnings from the Office of Management and Budget that the loan had not been properly vetted. The White House had advocated Solyndra receive the loan as part of Obama’s stimulus package in order to create green jobs and assist American solar panel manufacturers competing with heavily-subsidized Chinese counterparts. Republican opponents of green jobs initiatives could attempt to highlight the firm’s collapse during the upcoming elections. “There are people critical of green jobs overall and think they do not really work, especially at this time during a recession,” says Joe Stephens, an investigative reporter at the Washington Post who helped break the story. “Solyndra may become a household name during the presidential campaign.” For the complete transcript, to download the podcast, or for information about Democracy Now!, visit www.democracynow.org FOLLOW DEMOCRACY NOW!

Solar screens on windows can keep a house cool and utility bills down as summer approaches. With Friday’s focus on Earth Day and conservation, it makes sense to do what will help reduce energy costs.

Here on Earth, the sun appears as a giant ball of light in the sky. But how does the sun look from other planets in the solar system that are billions of kilometers away? For more, visit science.discovery.com | So much of what we consider to be normal here on Earth is a direct result of how our planet revolves around the sun (like seasons and temperatures around the globe). We put Earh into warp speed to see what a year’s worth of planetary orbit looks like in just 10 seconds.

Sunspot complex 1226-1227 poses a threat for C-class solar flares. A solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal hole could reach Earth on or about June 4th.

Its officially the “future”. A person has made what THEY call a “solar death ray” in their garage! 5800 mirrors, laid by hand on a concave surface like tile in a shower … and YES it works! This video clearly shows, this device will melt DIRT, ROCK, METAL, GLASS… basically it will burn through ANYTHING. I’m going to make one.. .no doubt about it. Hobby time! Will call it @ home SDI, or at home “star wars”… ever see the James Bond 007 called “golden eye”? Gustav Graves and his diamonds?! Well.. life imitates art once again! Only this time its Bond not star trek ! ******************* FAIR USE NOTICE: These Videos may contain copyrighted (© ) material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

www.SolarEnergyGuide.net – How to Make a Homemade Solar Panel Solar panels, unlike before, are cheap and easy to install with great efficiency. With this advent, you can save big money as well as help save the environment. A DIY kit is available and has an easy to follow instruction with them. What you need is some simple tools and you’re done. Here is your guide to make a homemade solar panel 1. First, you must know the loads of your solar panel and the package that is affordable to you. One watt of solar panel module will coast you about $25 and a 200 watts module is around $1000. If you need more power, you can connect this to form a collector to produce your desired power needs. Electrical connections are made in series to achieve a desired output voltage and/or in parallel to provide a desired amount of current capability. 2. After selecting the solar panel modules, you need a charge controller which is an important system component that regulates the voltage generated by the solar panel. This will regulate your power and provide protection to the batteries from being over or under-charged. 3. Next, you need a solar inverter this will convert 12 volt DC (direct current) from solar panel to 125 volts AC (alternating current) which will feed your appliances. Some high end inverters combine an inverter, battery charger and dual transfer switch in one package. 4. Batteries are needed if there is no sun or there is a blackout in your area. Typically, lead acid batteries …

Researchers in Europe are working on how to capture more of the sun’s enormous power and turn turn it into electricity. It’s reckoned that the equivalent of the world’s daily energy consumption hits the earth in the form of solar rays every 17 seconds. Photovoltaic cells use silicon crystals to convert sunlight into current. But existing technology is sadly inefficient, transforming only about 16 per cent of solar energy into electricity. … www.euronews.net
