Solar Energy: Cooling with Solar Panels

AI Thread Summary
Using solar panels to create cool air can be achieved by powering devices like air conditioners or refrigerators. Connecting solar energy to a fan or a Peltier device can also facilitate cooling. Another suggestion is to pump water through pipes near a copper coil to enhance cooling efficiency. Coiling copper around water pipes may further optimize heat exchange. These methods leverage solar energy effectively for cooling applications.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to use a solar panel and its energy to create cool air.. or to cool say a copper coil.. Thanks in advance.. :approve:

you could use the enrgy, and hook it up to a fridge, or a airconditioner. Do you know how an airconditioner works. If you dont, go to www.howstuffworks.com and check it out.
 
Or you could use the energy to pump water through pipes near your coil. Or why not coil your copper around the water pipe... or use the energy to run a fan... or a Peltier device... or to run a liquid-nitrogen-making machine...
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
