You can still use solar but in conjunction with a wind turbine. However wind turbine is only effective at large industrial scale. See here: http://www.engineering.com/ElectronicsDesign/ElectronicsDesignArticles/ArticleID/9556/Rooftop-Wind-Turbines-Are-They-Worthwhile.aspx where they discuss the meri...

:-o Seriously, what kinda castle is this ?!! :!: If you live in the US, look at your service panel and meter. You can see from the main breaker what it is rated at. Having at least 150 Amp service is common. It is excess capacity to avoid the main breaker tripping based on National Electric Code (N...

I don't think you understand what the 1000 W/m^2 is. As I said earlier, with clear skies is the maximum. Total power per unit area is actually going to be less. It is not going to increase 20%. There is little variation for an increase. Also, I never discouraged putting solar panels on residential ...

That remark is below the belt but also goes to show the mindset of those opposed to domestic weapons. Why do you think that LCA/HAL (MK1/MK2) cannot deliver? And do you think that the souped up 60s weapons platform will win in every situation? Why did the souped up 21s win against the 15s in Cope I...

Not only that, only India can produce such notes instead of outsourcing to other countries to manufacture these notes. It will vastly cut down on counterfeiting and prevent Pakistan from wrecking India by flooding the circulation with fake money.

If we can capture & store less than .1 of the sun's energy hitting the earth on a daily basis , virtually all of our energy's needs are met. On a typical day energy hitting the *whole* earth (if you consider outer atmosphere, as part of the earth) is about 1.5*10^22 joules... good enough for ab...

Hiteshji, Please seek professional help before putting panels on your home. The last thing anyone of us wants is someone getting hurt who doesn't know how to multiply or divide. Fine talk coming from someone who post a link rebutting/contradicting his own post! As for multiplying and dividing you s...

F-16: Zero km if there are sanctions LCA: Since zero is the lowest number (yes I know about negative numbers) and Tejas can do more than zero, so Tejas is better :roll: P.S. Since the Tejas has an American engine, that will not fly either. So we are screwed either way. No we are not if we can resta...

Hitesh

Wow! I mean wow. I don't think you've ever studied electricity and magnetism. The solar flux is essentially the solar constant on the surface of the earth on with clear skies. No it is not constant on the surface. It may be somewhat constant * before * it hits the earth's atmosphere. Even your own ...

Hitesh

That is the first sensible thing you have said. Now go follow your own advice kindly, sir! Question #1: Is "oldie" "Hitesh" == "newbie" "H.Kumar"? This would account for the confusion about old vs. new, and the lack of restraint, in coming to each other's def...

Hitesh

When we are capturing the energy from the sun, who the f*ck cares about efficiency when we only need to capture less than .1% of the sun's energy hitting earth. This statement reflects absolute ignorance. Again, are you talking about energy or power? The solar flux on the earth's surface is about 1...

That price for coal is not static and is subject to market forces while the price for solar is static over the lifetime of the solar powerplant and not subject to market forces. You are only seeing the trees not the forest. Yes, spending 100% more for unproven unreliable horse manure is seeing the ...

The average price at which the government purchase from coal plants is 2.5-3 rupees per kWhr and yet 250% higher cost of 7rupees/kWhr and 100% higher cost of 5rupees/kWhr from solar plant is what you justify the solar power based on? And you call this the future? In what world does buying costlier ...

^^^I don't think you've you're qualified to make any such statement unless you work for the power industry or for any of the state electricity boards because you can't do simple arthimetic and look at power generation in Watts. Do you have any background in electrical engineering - not electronics ...

As long as you remember to apply the same standards to Russian products.

The same could be said for the MKIs and the Kamov helicopters.

50% efficiency in what?? You only get 50% efficiency in a closed system and coal power plants are rarely closed systems. Have you studied thermodynamics? I have and using the efficiency computation of the BTU rate and the water consumption and replenishment, the efficiency of coal fired plants is n...

Hitesh

We just need to capture the energy of the sun. In fact, if we can capture the energy of the sun by using space based solar devices capable of capturing huge amounts, our civilization level goes up several notches. Please post a thread about your Dyson Sphere once it gets in operation. You can't pos...

About the MII F-16, but the title seems strange.

The promised market of the F-16 in today's climate and tomorrow's climate is a mirage. This is not a strategic win but a strategic blunder for India and its domestic defense aviation industry

Hitesh

Why bother reinventing the wheel when it is already done for you and you just need to capture the energy? That is basically what solar does: capture the energy of the largest fusion engine in the solar system. This really proves you're mathematically and scientifically challenged! Fusion is what we...

Hitesh

This is precisely where Unified Energy Consumption, vis-a-vis, domestic and transportation energy(EV/EV hybrid/any kinda hybrid) needs are coupled and together come from solar. Right now we need to improve the efficiency of the energy storage and expand the capacity to such an extent that we can em...

Only problem being your entire point is a lie you pulled from your ass. the peak hours of energy consumption in developed world is 10am-10pm . Again the above bolded part proves how deep your cluelessness goes and how far you have to search for your brain. The peak times does not occur during 10 am...

It will stick around a couple decades but it will not last into the last half of this century as a profitable industry. I look at the coal industry at the same way that historians look at whale oil. Obsolete and on the way out. This is a stupid and ignorant analogy. Coal provides over 60% of India'...

A little too soon to call coal industry dead, it's gonna stick around for a few more decades at least :wink: Coal isn't used as fuel alone, ye know !

Don't forget the cost of mining the coal and the health costs that come with it. Same thing goes for nuclear fuel. And what about the rare earths mining for PVs? Then all of the land that is covered which really disrupts the ecosystem. What about wind turbines killing birds and its shadows that cau...

It is you that need to learn and understand the logic and math and the meaning of throwing buzzwords for you are the one doing that. At night, you don't need 100 GWs of power because that is the time when most people are sleeping and not using energy. You have to look at peak times and base power l...

No he was not doing his job. He violated ethic rules by posting the email to Congress in an election year and so close to the election.

Most of the industries work 24 hours hence base load is important. Also base load plant depending on type of fuel can take hours to days to power up and down, though technology in this regard is improving.

As a result, the only problem I see - if at all there is one - will be Indian. India, IMVVHO, needs to clean up her act and produce good leaders. Talk is easy - granted. So true. Look at China.
