 | Building a solar torch (flashlight) helps to understand how it is possible to store the energy of the Sun and use it later at night. photovoltaic cells transform the energy of the sun in electricity that can be stored in a rechargeable battery. Photovoltaic cells are now widely used and can be even ... »

 | The construction of a solar hot water panel helps to understand how it is possible to heat water with the Sun. The basic principle is to circulate water in a black pipe placed behind a glass exposed to the Sun. Thanks to the greenhouse effect and the black colour that absorbs most of the Sun's rays, it is ... »

 | This Indian project helps to understand how it is possible to produce electricity from a magnet, a copper coil and a movement. The same principle is used in most electricity plants. Depending on the plant, the movement is produced by different means (for instance by transferring the strength of ... »
