A Lesson from Solar Impulse: The Solar Powered Plane


In Switzerland, two visionaries are implementing a project so massive that it can almost be elevated in status to the heights attained by the Wright brothers. They have successfully flown a plane running on solar power for 24 hours, night and day. The pilot observed that their solar plane had absorbed so much of the sun’s energy that they could have fed it to the power grid if they had enough battery in the plane. Named the Solar Impulse, the plane has a small cockpit and runs on small power. It has a long wingspan fitted with solar cells that is fitted with a lot of solar cells.

If solar cells can lift people (Solar Impulse), what more can it do for the household? All we have to do is install solar cells, use low consumption light bulbs and appliances and we won't be paying for electric power at all.

Take the solar plane model as an inspiration and improve your lives. Let us realize that one need not work harder to fully enjoy his labor. Start by becoming more efficient and before you know it, you would and up with more disposable income, better quality of life and a lot healthier.

  1. That's really nice because the planes we have now are quite polluting. That's why we prefer to take the train because it's a lot greener :)

  3. coolbeans! actually there are lots of technologies that can save us the money. they are discouraged by the GREEDMONSTERS because they can't earn from that. imagine if they wont earn? Disaster for them.

    i hope more and more inventors will be supported in the coming years... so these technologies will be available to all...
