 | In the Toules dam near the Great St. Bernard pass (Switzerland), an artificial island with 2,240 m2 of photovoltaic solar collectors has been built. In the canton of Glarus (Switzerland), the wall of the Muttsee dam has been covered with solar cells. These high-altitude solar power plants offer ... »

 | This project helps to understand how the greenhouse effect can be used to 'trap' the heat of the sun. The sun's rays (short wavelengths of visible light) penetrate through the glass of the oven and heat the elements inside. When this heat is reissued as infra-red radiations (longer wavelengths) ... »

 | This project is a good way to discover the power of the Sun, and the use of a renewable energy to cook without polluting or increasing deforestation. The portable solar cooker uses 3 principles: the greenhouse effect, the concentration of light with reflective panels and the ability of black ... »

 | This project is a model of a car that runs on solar electricity, a renewable and non-polluting energy source. Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity and charge an electrical capacitor inside the car.The photovoltaic cells are installed on the roof of a garage as they are unlikely ... »

 | This solar model is a tool to predict the movement of shadows and check whether this prediction comes true. It helps to understand that the path of the sun changes with the seasons and that the design of buildings must take this into account.For architects and engineers, it is indeed very important ... »
