Garden hoses are the devil. They lay there, quietly baking in the hot summer sun, just waiting for some dumb schmuck to come along and try to take a sip鈥攖hen BAM! A faceful of scalding hot water. However, this painful phenomenon is not wi stanley borraccia thout benefits鈥攈oses turn into miniature geysers thanks to solar thermal energy STE , one of the oldest and greenest renewable energy sources known to man. Unlike photovoltaic technology, STE harnesses the sun rays to generate heat rather than electricity. In residential use, STE usually boosts the efficiency of water heaters, heat pumps, and absorption chillers. In large-scale installations, it can be used to generate electricity. Here how it works. The use of STE dates back hundreds of years. In 1760, Swiss naturalist Horace de Saussure devised a solar oven built out of a half-inch tall pine box, topped with glass pane. Placed in sunshine, the glass pane and enclosed area worked in tandem to concentrate incoming solar energy and prevent its escape aka the greenhouse effect . It was effective enough to boil water to a temperature of 228 degrees F. It is a known fact, Saussure said, that a room, a carriage, or any other place is hotter when the stanley becher rays of the sun pass through glass. STE-harnessing technology continued to develop into the 20th century when, in 1881, Charles Kemp patented the first passive solar water heater, today known as batc stanley cup h water heaters, and sold them as the Cl Vifn Watch OK Go s New Desert Orchestra Stunt Driving Music Video
The Mouriz School is too cool for school. By day, its students frolcik and play outside its random lines and dark wood veneer. By night, however, the entire scene becomes one from a Pixar short. Fascinating s stanley becher tuff. B stanley cups uk ack in the mid- to late-90s, I went to school in a boring, gray concrete block. The education was fine but the aesthetics were pure uninspirational 70s. This school, in Mouriz, Portugal, is none of those things: This is a two-story school center, including a kindergarten and an elementary school located in Mour stanley cup iz, Paredes, Portugal. It was conceived to comply with a functional program based on the needs of a fifteen classroom school center: managing flows and creating different levels of use due to different levels of autonomy within the school center 鈥?kindergarten and elementary school; common areas and sports area; linking the dynamics of each space; ranking uses and users; sharing pathways and functions. Oh how jealous I am of today students. Learning actively by book or iPad and passively by design, subconsciously. [Arch Daily] ArchitecturePixar |
