Solar powered home / house – Tamboerskloof, Cape Town, South Africa
I visit the house we used to own in Tamboerskloof, Cape Town. I show the solar power installation and go through some of the challenges we faced.
* The solar array is 1.5 kW (1500 watts). Made up of 12 Mitshibishi 125 watt polycrystalline solar panels.
* The inverter is a 48 volt MLT Drives 4000 watt grid tie inverter – made in South Africa.
* The battery bank is made up of 16 x 6 volt Trojan 105 Ah batteries.
* The solar charger / controller is an Outback MPPT MX60
* The battery monitor is made by Xantrex
* Solar water heating / geyser evacuated tube collector
* A stunning / beautiful view of Cape Town city bowl, Table Mountain and Lion’s Head.

Solar energy – nuclear fusion in the sun
How nuclear fusion works in the sun and how photons from this fusion provide us with solar energy here on Earth for things like photovoltaics (solar power), solar domestic how water, solar air heating and solar cooking. Also given is background such as what an atom is and the parts of an atom: neutrons, protons and electrons. Sample atoms are provided: hydrogen, deuterium and carbon atoms.
This is the simplified version that stops at gravity. Version 2 of this video goes into more detail talking about gravity, high temperatures and quantum tunneling:

Solar-powered car fair
Santiago hosted the first ever solar-powered car fair ahead of the Atacama Solar Challenge.
Participant Gonzalo Pacheco saying: “Solar energy is an alternative. Obviously, the cost of the car is pretty high, but the niche is growing and there are investigations and everything so that in the future it can be used in a more efficient way.”
Minister of Energy and mining, Laurence Golborne saying: “Those who today participate in this fair, who today step up to this challenge, who– like the provost said– are learning today in the race to get a better vehicle, they are the people who will be the leaders that the country needs in development of renewable energy sources for the future.”

Helios Solar Powered Aircraft
Compilation of test flights.
Pathfinder Solar Plane preceeded Centurion. Pathfinder turned into Pathfinder+ by removing the original center panel and replacing it with a panel that was about 48 feet in length. Centurion turned into Helios Prototype, which turned into Helios and Helios with a fuel cell. The difference between Centurion and Helios prototype was removing the center panel and adding 2 new center panels. Helios flew with 5 pods and had a full solar array. The fuel cell version was made by removing the center pod and replacing it with the fuel cell pod. That is the one at the end of the video.
