The US Department of energy has also listed five considerations when picking materials to build on or add on your passive solar house. The following five elements constitute a complete passive solar home design. Each performs a separate function, but all five must work together for the design to be successful.
Aperture (Collector) The large glass [...]

According to the United States Energy Saving website (2009) opaque objects absorb 40%–95% of incoming solar radiation from the sun, depending on their color—darker colors typically absorb a greater percentage than lighter colors. This is why solar-absorber surfaces tend to be dark colored. Bright-white materials or objects reflect 80%–98% of incoming solar energy.

To truly understand how passive solar energy works, you have to know a few things about heating and cooling works within the house. A basic law of physics is that heat moves from materials that are warm to materials that are cooler. The transference is constant until the temperature is the same in both materials. [...]

Solar energy that is converted to electrical power is called photovoltaic power. This technology uses wafers (semiconductor cells) that are about a couple of square centimeters in size. In physics terms, the cell is an area of a p-n diode. The cell coverts the sun light into energy. The number of cells that are placed [...]

Even our children that are born now will not know the kind of earth we have had as adults in our lifetime. We are making huge fuel demands on our planet and we are not cutting back. Fossil fuels and their emissions are causing global climate changes and are destroying the entire environment in huge [...]

Vampires can even be considered plants. H.G. Wells’s story, “The Flowering of the Strange Orchid,” considers that sometimes the botanical world takes on characteristics of vampires. In the story Wells tells of a explorer that is found dead in the jungle with a bulb of a plant laying next to him. The bulb is [...]

George Stetson of the American Anthropological Association had a different take on the vampire in his report in 1896. In his article, “The Animistic Vampire in New England,” he explains that the vampire can be alive or dead. He contends the soul of a sleeping man or a dead body can leave the body [...]

“At Lucifer’s Portal,” a 1917 book of poems brought a new look at poetry and the dark denizens of the night, the vampire. Paul Bachtell, the poet, writes in his poem, “Like Unto a Vampire” the subtle ways of a woman who want her man back from the vampire who stole him. The poem [...]

The works of Theophile Gauiter entitled, “Sprite, the Vampire, and Arria Marcella,” brought a more epic motive to the vampire in his 1907 publication. He chose a priest as the main character who is not only battling his own personal demons but is also battling a vampire. Bringing in the Catholic Church as the vampires [...]
