 | This DIYs project helps to understand how the greenhouse effect can be used to 'trap' and increase 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 ... » greenhouse, trap, rays, wavelengths, penetrate

 | Apart from photovoltaic cells, there is another way to produce electricity with the Sun. This technique uses the Sun to heat water or air in a closed tank. High temperatures are reached by using parabolic mirrors which concentrate the Sun's rays. The heat increases the volume of water or air in the ... » photovoltaic, tank, parabolic, mirrors, rays
