Let’s drool over this guy’s Solar Hydrogen House.    I’ve always wanted to have a house fully run by renewable energy.  This one below is the Ultimate, and Extreme Unplugged Living.

I really like the idea of storing energy in the form of hydrogen inside hydrogen tanks.   Battery banks are the usual storage for solar panel systems.   However, depending on the size, battery banks usually can supply a few hours to a few days worth of electricity.   Michael Strizki’s said that these hydrogen tanks, in conjunction with the solar battery bank, and geothermal setup can store an equivalent of  3 months worth …read more

There has been many talks and articles about ultracapacitors and its potential use for renewable energy.   Let me first start by answering the question  What is an Ultracapacitor?
An Ultracapacitor, sometimes called electric double-layer capacitors or supercapacitors are just just like any other capacitor but have a very high energy density.  It can store huge amounts of energy for its size.   If you are familiar with the usual electrolytic capacitor,  think about a device than can store a thousand times more energy.   Most electrolytic capacitors have a value in micro farads, but a typical ultracapacitor has a value …read more
