Humans create mini solar power generation

Could this sphere power generator be the future of solar energy?

Crystal balls have been telling fortunes in fairgrounds for many years, but this Spherical Sun Power Generator could be the future of solar energy. A German Architect has designed an innovative form of a solar power generator. Unlike being flat or thin like other PV panels, this one is a giant transparent sphere! [see-also]

Can a miniature Bio-Solar power system deliver on-chip energy to IoT applications?

This work created a simple and practical solid-state miniatured bio-solar power system, delivering on-chip energy to the next generation of low-power IoT applications.

How does a sphere solar power generator work?

The Spherical Solar Power Generator works by using a large transparent sphere to focus diffused sunlight onto a small surface area of mini-solar panels. Because the solar panels used on the device are so small, its relative efficiency is increased. It is, in effect, an innovative form of other concentrated photovoltaic technologies (CPVs).

Will Japan make a mini solar power plant in 2025?

The mission is part of a project called OHISAMA (Japanese for Sun), which is on track for launch in 2025. An adviser at the Japanese research institute Japan Space Systems, Koichi Ijichi, shared details about the country’s plans to make a mini space-based solar power plant. The plant will wirelessly transmit energy from low Earth orbit.

What is a spherical Sun power generator?

The Spherical Sun Power Generator is a solar energy capture device designed by German Architect Andre Broessel. Called the beta.ey, he believes his invention is a solution capable of squeezing “more juice out of the sun”. The actual development of the beta.ey has been conducted by Andre and Rawlemon Limited.

Can a solar panel be a portable source of energy?

Researchers have produced the world's first flexible "solar panel" that is thin enough to coat on other objects so they can double as a portable source of energy. A breakthrough approach allowed scientists to create solar cells 150 times thinner than existing silicon-based panels, without sacrificing any of their energy-generating capabilities.
