Solar Power Water

I have just purchased a 3 tier solar power water feature from Littlewoods catalogue. I have put it all together but nothing is happening. How long do these things usually take to charge?
I have finally got it working. It stays on for as...

I would say to give it at least two full days of good sunshine before getting concerned.

The process of splitting water into pure oxygen and clean-burning hydrogen fuel has long been the Holy Grail for clean-energy advocates as a ...

i wanted to know how to make a solar power water heater
im in 9th grade and my science teacher is making us make one. how do i make one thats not that big

if you have plumbing skills you can make one with half inch pipes in side 1 and a half inch pipe... in a series of loops going up and down placed over a blak metal panel... the half inch pie should have water in it and ran to a water tank... the...

Water has a higher specific heat than granite so it would make sense that water would hold more energy, but I'm wondering if the granite is better at storing the energy over time in a solar heater. I want to know why, because I'm confused.

water does have a higher SH, by a factor of 5. although since the density of granite is about 3, that means the volume SH is closer to water.

The only reason I can think of why you would use granite is that unless the water...

I would like to make a small water fountain for my garden, but without it using any electricity, or solar power, i want to make one that works just by the power of water... if ya get what i mean

Buy an actual fountain head & plumbing from flower garden center or such & plumb up to water supply with a shut off nearby. Adjust water supply for correct effect at fountain. You may need a water pressure reducer.

I was wondering is solar water heating a more cost efficient use of solar power over using large arrays to power your house or large solar thermal plants that are being contemplated all over the world.

It depends on how you do it. Passive solar is the most efficient and reliable. The more pumps, storage tanks and controllers you use the less efficient and reliable the system will be. The egyptians were successfully using passive solar 3,000...
