 | This project demonstrates that it is possible to use the heat of the sun to produce a movement. The technical principle consists of boiling a liquid (e.g. water) in a closed tank using solar energy. To obtain a temperature sufficient to boil water, parabolic mirrors are used to focus the sun's rays ... »

 | This project helps to understand how hydropower (energy from water in motion) can be transformed into electricity. Hydropower is a renewable energy regenerated through the water cycle. The Sun powers this cycle by evaporating water (from e.g. rivers, lakes or seas). This water condenses in the ... »
