Rainbow

 

Ask any child of the 70’s about the programme Rainbow and they will probably smile and look all nostalgic. As with any children’s Television programme as soon as you look back on it in the cold light of adult lives you begin to slightly question the sanity of the people in it, the writers and also yourself for watching it. Launched in September 1972 the show was beamed directly via ITV into Living rooms in London, Bedrooms in Barnsley or Conservatories Evesham. In fact, viewing the show in a nice new conservatory might be a good option. Try https://www.firmfix.co.uk/conservatories/ for some ideas.

The first thing that was presented to the viewer was the explosion of colour, as you would expect from a programme called Rainbow but also the theme tune stuck in your head, which again was the intention. “Up above the streets and houses Rainbow flying high, everyone can …

In Richtung unseres Traumhauses

Meine Frau dachte, dass sie glücklich war, als wir unser großes, großes Haus in einer schönen Nachbarschaft kauften, aber sie wurde erst langsam glücklich. Sie brauchte viel mehr, um sich mit dem neuen Haus rundum wohlzufühlen. Sie musste eine Vision im Kopf gehabt haben, als sie mich traf, und wir beschlossen, zu heiraten. Zeit zum Bauen des Traumhauses war nicht möglich. Wir waren bereits verheiratet und hatten ein Kind auf dem Weg. Wir hatten keine Zeit, um das gewünschte Haus zu bauen, aber sie entschied sich dafür, ein schönes Haus zu finden, auf das wir bauen konnten.

Wir haben einige Jahre gebraucht, um zu entscheiden, welche Änderungen wir an unserem Haus vornehmen wollten. Es dauerte eine Weile, bis wir unsere Möbel bezogen hatten, und wir brauchten ein paar Monate, um alles neu zu ordnen, als wir es im Haus hatten, um zu sehen, wie es aussah, als wir die Dinge …

How Double Glazed Solar Panels Are Improving Energy Efficiency

 

Two scientists from the University of Warwick have built on the fundamental work of Tesla and Einstein to design double glazed solar panels. Dr Yorck Ramachers and Dr Gavin Bell have invented a product similar to the doubled glazed window.

What are double glazed solar panels?

Existing solar panels use two glass layers with a vacuum as a filler between the layers. Double glazed solar panels replace this vacuum with an inert gas, which acts as additional insulation.

These double glazed panels work by ejecting electrons when hit by sunlight. The free electrons travel through the inert gas and are trapped by the transparent exterior layer, which conducts electricity.

The new design is a step forward for solar technology and will help to improve solar generation methods. Dr Bell has suggested that the new panel will be beneficial for other green technologies, including turning heat into electricity.…
