Its amazing how far an idea that is so obviously stupid on the surface can get!


This one went viral on facebook pulling in over 7 million hits.  


The most obvious problem is if you put solar panels on a cone, half of them are always in the dark!  They claim spinning the solar panels will keep them cool, but then proceed to put them in what is effectively a greenhouse!


Sad thing is.... in reality solar energy on its own is actually pretty good... now typically earning their capital value back in just a few years!


Many thanks for all your support!

Spinning Solar -BUSTED!

Someone sent me this after it went viral on facebook. It currently has over 7mn hits there! https://www.facebook.com/DavidAvocadoWolfe/videos/10153685785536512/ Whoever came up with idea of putting solar panels on a cone was an idiot. In fact on further looking it seems the company that came out with this idea vanished years ago....

They don't run the numbers. On Myth Busters there was this girl engineer - she kept running the numbers and proving stuff wouldn't work. The POPULAR guys were the first two who just DID stuff...

Great video Thunderf00t! This makes me think of an interesting question: Is it possible to make a static solar panel shape that performs better than a static flat solar panel, throughout the course of a day? Of course, a tracking solar panel is the best solution, but let's suppose we wanted an installation with no moving parts.
