摘要： Solar panels located on residential roofs can be unsightly in some cases. A swimming pool solar power generator can locate solar panels in or around the sides and/or bottoms of a swimming pool in a manner so as to create electricity from the sun without creating an eyesore. In an embodiment, a pool solar power generator includes a solar cell module disposed in a portion of a swimming pool. The solar cell module can include solar cells and be submerged under water held by the swimming pool. The solar cell module can convert sunlight incident on the solar cells to electricity and transmit the electricity for use at a location external to the swimming pool.

摘要： A steam power plant is suggested having, parallel to the high-pressure preheater passage (VW4 to VW6), a heat reservoir (A) which is loaded with preheated condensate in weak-load times. This preheated condensate is taken from the heat reservoir (A) for generating peak-load and inserted downstream of the high-pressure preheater passage (VW4 to VW6) into the condensate line (19.2) resp. the feed water container (8). Thus it is possible to quickly control the power generation of the power plant in a wide range without significantly having to change the heating output of the boiler of the steam generator (1). A steam power plant equipped according to the invention can thus be operated with bigger load modifications and also provide more control energy.

摘要： A geothermal power generation system using heat exchange between working gas and molten salt includes a heat collector. A plurality of molten salt containers is disposed in a heat transferor at predetermined intervals from each other. A heat exchanger transfers a heat source of the heat collector to the molten salt in the plurality of molten salt containers. The heat transferor is disposed in the ground. Working gas which receives the heat source of the molten salt via heat exchange enters and exits the heat transferor. A turbine unit is connected to the heat transferor, and generates mechanical energy using energy of the working gas. A power generating unit is connected to the turbine unit, and generates electrical energy using the mechanical energy.

摘要： A solar water heater has a main panel having a boiler panel and a reservoir panel. The reservoir panel feeds the boiler panel. A tubular reservoir is installed in the reservoir panel. An evacuated tube is installed in the boiler panel. The evacuated tube has an inner vacuum wall and an outer vacuum wall for insulating the evacuated tube. A boiler line receives heated water from the reservoir panel. The boiler line passes through the evacuated tube. An electrical production module is connected to the boiler panel. The electrical production module generates electricity from steam power taken from the boiler panel. A feed line connects to the reservoir panel. The feed line ends at an intake filter.

摘要： Methods, systems, and devices are provided for thermal enhancement. Thermal enhancement may include absorbing heat from one or more devices. In some cases, this may improve the efficiency of the one or more devices. In general, a phase transition may be induced in a storage material. The storage material may be combined with a freeze point suppressant in order to reduce its melt point. The mixture may be used to boost the performance of device, such as an electrical generator, a heat engine, a refrigerator, and/or a freezer. The freeze point suppressant and storage material may be separated. By delaying the periods between each stage by prescribed amounts, the methods, systems, and devices may be able to shift the availability of electricity to the user and/or otherwise boost a device at different times in some cases.
