American-Israeli Company Creates Cutting Edge Solar Power Pl

Posted by: admin

California energy company, BrightSource Energy and its Israeli subsidary LUZ II, unveiled a solar field in Israel this week that will test new technology the company plans to use during the construction of several massive solar power plants in California next year.

The new solar field, with its 60 metre-high tower and some 1,641 mirrors, sits on about 12,000 square metres of Israel’s southern Negev Desert.

While it is capable of generating 1.5 megawatts, it does not produce electricity for public use, but rather test the technologies that will power future plants, which will be about 50 times larger than the one in Israel.

BrightSource Energy and its Israel subsidary LUZ II are currently at the forefron

Is Solar Power Good Business? - VOA Story

Posted by: admin

Climate change is now a popular topic. World leaders are discussing it this week at the G8 summit in Prague. And just last week in San Jose, California, high tech industry leaders gathered to give solar energy a boost. The global warming issue definitely is hot.

Al Gore’s documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth”, helped make human induced climate change a glitzy issue. The film won an Academy award and has gotten a lot of attention.

But is climate change now good business?

The St. Francis of isi School in London is the first of 100 schools across Britain that will be fitted with solar technology.

And in Palo Alto, California, the sun powers all the townhouses in a development that opened just last month. Stephanie Pruitt, of Warmington Homes, says, “It will create significant cost savings in electricity bills for homeowners. And we do see this as the wave of the future.”

Nearby, the Silicon Valley area hopes to take the lead in the solar power industry.

Solar power is a $15 billion global industry. Not huge, but the Solar Energy Industries ociation in the U.S. says the business is expanding by 40 percent each year. Businessman Alan Gartner says it is striving to meet the needs of the market. “I do not think I would be here unless I thought our company was wildly capable of morphing and changing and meeting whatever the needs of the energy market are.”

Industry leaders say they still need istance from national governments. In the U.S., the push is to extend tax credits.

But the development in Palo Alto is attracting energy-conscious consumers. One consumer said, “Even if it was a little more expensive, which I do not think it was, it is going to pay for itself with the energy savings every month.”

Twenty two of the 28 units put on sale in Palo Alto last month sold in the first week. That should encourage the Silicon Valley business people.

Lecture 6 | Woods Energy Seminar Winter 2009

Posted by: admin

February 11, 2009 lecture by Jefferson Tester for the Woods Energy Seminar (ENERGY301). In his talk “A Pathway for Widespread Utilization of Geothermal Energy–the Roles of Multi-scale Resource and Technology Research and Systems Analysis,” Tester talks about the benefits and challenges of harnessing geothermal energy, and he erts that it is a large resource that complements solar and wind energy and is both carbon free and scalable.

The Woods Energy Seminar is an interdisciplinary series of talks primarily by Stanford experts on a broad range of energy topics. Jefferson Tester is the David Croll Chair for Sustainable Energy Systems and ociate Director for the Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Cornell University.

3d animation | Anifex | Wind Power | the Evolution of Fire

Posted by: admin

http://www.anifex.com
3d animation industrial design - product design of a 3d animated wind power generator that demonstrates wind power technology for an online 3d animation presentation, trade show exhibit and 3d animation video DVD. Anifex 3d creates high quality 3d animation for the industrial design, product design and wind power industries. Anifex 3d animations are created with the most powerful 3d software packages available 3d Studio Max and Maya. Anifex also uses Adobe products including After Effects and Sound Booth to complete the video editing and compositing of our 3d animation videos. The Evolution of Fire wind power 3d animation was created to demonstrate Anifex’s 3d ability to market industrial design and product design. The entire 3d model was created in Maya so that the parts, gears, belts, wind blade, etc. actually move in sync with each other. This allowed the 3d animation to achieve the photo realistic 3d quality by all the parts performing their function correctly. Anifex felt that it was important to draw the viewer in and make the connection between the hypothetical caveman’s first discovery of fire, which may have resulted from lightning hitting a tree and creating a spark. This connection was originally going to be created as a one cell cartoon that Anifex was going to place on the product design. As an afterthought, it was decided that it would have much more impact if a 3d animated character was used instead. The 3d character originally started out as a 3d poser model and was completely morphed into the finished version in mudbox. After the 3d morph in mudbox, the caveman character went back into Maya for the final touches, including adding over a million particles of hair. The final 3d animation of the caveman scene was 3d rendered with four different lighting passes to achieve the realistic effect of the lightning crashing in the background and the fire flickering in the foreground. After Anifex had the 3d animated caveman sequence, there needed to be a clever way to make the 3d animation seamless between the caveman and 3d product design simulation. Anifex achieved this by using a lighting effects that flash several times from dark to light, which gives the viewer the sense of lightning crashing. The product design simulation was also rendered in three different lighting passes to create the light, dark and wireframe 3d model. The entire 3d animation from concept to completion took 3 weeks, including render time. For more information about 3d animations for marketing wind power, industrial designs or product designs from Anifex please visit our website.
