Solar pool heating in the state of Pa. How effective?

I have a relatively new pool for which I would like to heat. Since energy is skyrocketing I feel solar may be a good option. Can anyone give me an idea how effective solar heating is, especially in Pa. I have a lot of sothern exposure on my roof.

Is there any evidence for creationism that isn’t simply an attack on evolution?

Evolutionists (like myself) can give evidence for evolution without attacking creationism.

For instance, evolution can literally be monitored by examining the allele frequency in organisms. We have fossils to show that whales use to have legs but later EVOLVED into to creatures that don’t have them. Similarly, humans have tails bones but no tails. Why? Because physical evidence (i.e., fossils) show we evolved into being with tails. There are many fossils to show this too. The Lucy fossil, the Homo Erectus fossil and many more.

It seems like most creationists think they’re presenting evidence when they attack evolution. They’ll usually make a false claim like the classic “they are no transitional fossils” or “evolution says we evolved from monkeys and monkeys still exist so evolution is false.”

*One more thing. The word ‘theory’ when used in science does NOT mean ‘guess’. For instance, the Heliocentric Theory states that planets in our Solar System revolve around the Sun.
..that’s not a guess! It’s based on verifiable evidence. Same thing will Cell Theory (all living things are made of cells). So when you hear ‘Theory of Evolution’, we’re not talking about a guess. In science, a guess is know an a ‘hypothesis’.
I’m a college student and one of the classes I’m taking this quarter is Anatomy & Physiology. I took Biology last quarter.
@Moon Shine:
I posted a list of transitional fossils. Yes, that means change in species.

Question for atheists?

Like atheists, I like to use cold logic in giving positions. The following is the reason theists know your position doesn’t make sense:

If science is top truth, that means everything originates from something else. A came from B, B came from C, C came from D, D come from E, ad infinitum. The theist knows this is not possible, because if a position has to be explained forever, then it’s not a position at all. But theists also knows everything has a beginning, and that beginning is God.

The cell to the animal to the land to the earth to the solar system to the Milky Way to the universe, to that beyond. Exterior infinity. The cell to the molecule to the atom to the nucleus to the subatomic to the quantum to the even smaller. Interior infinity. Since these two infinities were created and cannot be fully explained by science, then the creator can be none other but God.

The bee need the flower to survive. The flower need the bee to survive. Evolutionists believe bees and plants evolved at different times. The theist knows this is not possible. No savvy archeologist would dare attempt to explain symbiotic relationships, because there is no evidence in science to explain them adequately. The theist already knows God willed all into existence, and symbiotic relationships are easy to explain. This also explains archeological and other scientific finds that contradict common held beliefs and flies in the face of present supposed iron-clad scientific principles. They are afraid to make evidence that supports the theist public, and atheists like to play and act like these finds don’t exist. But theists know better.

Since God created humans, and humans discovered logic, that means logic, and all other things known, and yet to be known, that can be used for good, are a product of God. This is why theists are flabbergasted when atheists attempt to use logic, something God created, to explain their positions.

The smartest atheist will attempt to explain SOME of the logical facts I presented, but dare not touch upon ALL of it. This omission supports the position of the theists.

Your thoughts?
Looking at the first thirteen answers, looks like they’re running for cover instead of attempting to explain anything! Any theists out there, or is this forum dominated by truth fearers?
Like I said, the smartest atheist will attempt to explain SOME of the logical facts I presented, but dare not touch upon ALL of it. This omission supports the position of the theists.

Theists predates atheists, so the burden of proof fall on you guys!

Thanks for your answers!

Why isn’t there an electric car available with solar cells on the roof/trunk?

Your car runs out of gas – that’s a problem. Your electric car runs out of battery power – simply park and have lunch and let the sun partially recharge the batteries, then you’re on your way. Once your home or work or a store, either plug it in to an outlet or hook it up to a solar collecter car port for a faster re-charge. How many of you would buy an electric car with solar cells? I wonder what the current technology efficiency level is for recharging a small 2 seat compact anyway? I think it’s time – who wants to go into business with me?

where can i buy a solar cell for scince project in san jose?

electric motor to suit 18v solar panel?

is there any other types of fans capable of running 18v of power from a solar panel? other than radiator fan motors. i am trying to build a homemade air conditioner so i need one that’s fast. would two 12v (14cm diameter) CPU fans able to survive 18 volts? thanks in advance

parts for homemade wind generation?

i have a 12 volt solar panel charging system and would like to attempt to make a wind generator from available parts, need some advice?????

How to make a barn conversion energy efficient?

Hi all.

My family are going to be starting a barn conversion in about a month and I would like it to be energy efficient to help cut bills, C02 emissions, etc.
What is currently the best (cost effective) way of doing this?
I am interested in using things like solar panels, etc. but obviously they will need to be cost effective.
I don’t know much about this and it’s all new to me, so any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Ever tried using computer fan motors to power your house?

I once read in a magazine that you could connect computer fan motors to an alternator to generate all the electricity for your house. The article said it was cost effective because the motors get up to 6000 rpm and it only takes a 12 volt solar panel to power one. What kind of alternator runs off such a small motor? Is this even practical or were they just blowing smoke? Thanks.

Which planets or other heavenly bodies would be of the most benefit for the human race to explore or colonize?

I guess the Moon is an obvious one for escaping our gravity well and exploring the rest of the solar system. In the long term (I’m talking hundreds or a couple thousand years), which other planets/etc. will yield living space, energy resources, precious metals, military bases (interstellar exploration or defense), or anything else of practical value to the human race?

Isn’t this only only way to lower fuel prices?

Reduce demand.

We have seen quite clearly that the escalating oil prices led to a reduced US demand for gasoline, which in turn drove the oil prices a bit lower.

I think a brave strategy to propose that would lower fuel prices and ultimately benefit our nation long-term, would be to consider some form of gas rationing. This would inspire folks to conserve, seek more efficient vehicles and to use alternative energy and transportation.

If either candidate was brave enough to be an actual statesman and propose such, combined with R & D for alternatives, funding programs for solar and mass transit, then we could begin to wean ourselves from oil much more quickly. Thoughts..?
____
Increasing supply does nothing towards solving the true problem which is that oil is finite in volume and we a running out. if we lower prices through increased supply, then, folks continue to consume. The longer we wait to re-think our energy needs, the worse the problem becomes….

Why would someone line their front yard with mirrors all propped up against the inside of the fence?

I pass a house in my neighborhood that has the entire front yard lined with mirrors of varying sizes. They are all propped up against the inside of the fence, but pointing in, so someone standing in the yard could turn around and see their reflection from all sides. They don’t appear to be solar panels and it doesn’t look like they’re connected to anything, but I could be wrong about that part. Neither is there any indication they are for sale or part of any art project.
I was thinking it maybe it was a ward or superstition but birds probably is the most reasonable explanation.

Home upgrades yes or no?

Hi. I’ve just bought my first home about 3 months ago. I’m 21 and bought it as a “investment” home and plan to sale it in about 3-5yrs…hopefully. I purchased it for $110,000 as a banked owned home..very lucky… It’s 1250sqft 3bed, 2bath and on the gulf with a bay view here in Navarre, FL (Destin, FL Area) . I completely remodeled the house inside and out, Wood/Carpet/Tile Floors, Stainless Steal Appliances, Custom Cabinets, Granite Counters (all), tub/showers. Lights, Paint and so far I only spent about $7,000-$8,000 on the remodeled got everything at wholesale and installed mostly everything myself. Also have (10) 200w Solar Panels on the roof which were gave to me as a gift. Power bill has been on average $25.00 a month + I have a private well so my water bill is mainly my electric bill. I just discovered that I’m going to have to replace my Hot Water Heater so my question is should I spend the $2500.00 that I was quoted for the Tankless Heater? are just replace it with another conventional tank for $800? and save the money? If I go with the tankless should I see a return are extra value on my house?
Yes I know this area is highly populated with military . I plan to sale not rent I don’t really want to do the landlord thing or let a company handle that for me. Rather Sale and cash out. Renting the house and buying another would require me to keep both homes maintained and that could be alot of work.

Solar panel installation help?

Has anyone ever installed their own home solar panels? Can you tell me how to start to do this? I went to Home Depot but they did not offer very detailed help with their product. Is there somewhere else that will give step by step instructions to make it easy?

I am looking for courses on solar panel installation. Both hot water and electricity generation.?

Going solar for my home, I have ?s, and only want answers from people that have it in your home.?

I know the Monocrystalline solar panels cost more then the Polycrystalline solar panels, but which one of the two will last longer?, and will they leak over time? and will they fade over time?
what I mean by leaking is, moisture underneath the glass.

How much would it cost upfront to install solar panels in my home and what could I save?

I’m curious what the average household spends to install solar panels in California. Also for those of you that have installed them, how much would you say you saved in the first year? The second?

Thank you for your time answering this.

Dear Atheists, would you read this and make some serious comments. TQ..?

The Miracle of Iron

HARUN YAHYA

Iron is one of the elements highlighted in the Qur’an. In Surat al-Hadid, meaning Iron, we are informed:

And We also sent down iron in which there lies great force and which has many uses for mankind… (Qur’an, 57:25)

The word “anzalna,” translated as “sent down” and used for iron in the verse, could be thought of having a metaphorical meaning to explain that iron has been given to benefit people. But, when we take into consideration the literal meaning of the word, which is, “being physically sent down from the sky,” as in the case of rain and Sun rays, we realize that this verse implies a very significant scientific miracle. Because, modern astronomical findings have disclosed that the iron found in our world has come from giant stars in outer space. 1

Not only the iron on earth, but also the iron in the entire Solar System, comes from outer space, since the temperature in the Sun is inadequate for the formation of iron. The sun has a surface temperature of 6,000 degrees Celsius, and a core temperature of approximately 20 million degrees. Iron can only be produced in much larger stars than the Sun, where the temperature reaches a few hundred million degrees. When the amount of iron exceeds a certain level in a star, the star can no longer accommodate it, and it eventually explodes in what is called a “nova” or a “supernova.” These explosions make it possible for iron to be given off into space. 2

One scientific source provides the following information on this subject:

There is also evidence for older supernova events: Enhanced levels of iron-60 in deep-sea sediments have been interpreted as indications that a supernova explosion occurred within 90 light-years of the sun about 5 million years ago. Iron-60 is a radioactive isotope of iron, formed in supernova explosions, which decays with a half life of 1.5 million years. An enhanced presence of this isotope in a geologic layer indicates the recent nucleosynthesis of elements nearby in space and their subsequent transport to the earth (perhaps as part of dust grains). 3

All this shows that iron did not form on the Earth, but was carried from Supernovas, and was “sent down,” as stated in the verse. It is clear that this fact could not have been known in the 7th century, when the Qur’an was revealed. Nevertheless, this fact is related in the Qur’an, the Word of Allah, Who encompasses all things in His infinite knowledge.

Astronomy has also revealed that other elements also formed outside the Earth. In the expression “We also sent down iron” in the verse, the word “also” may well be referring to that idea. However, the fact that the verse specifically mentions iron is quite astounding, considering that these discoveries were made at the end of the 20th century. In his book Nature’s Destiny, the well-known microbiologist Michael Denton emphasizes the importance of iron:

Of all the metals there is none more essential to life than iron. It is the accumulation of iron in the center of a star which triggers a supernova explosion and the subsequent scattering of the vital atoms of life throughout the cosmos. It was the drawing by gravity of iron atoms to the center of the primeval earth that generated the heat which caused the initial chemical differentiation of the earth, the outgassing of the early atmosphere, and ultimately the formation of the hydrosphere. It is molten iron in the center of the earth which, acting like a gigantic dynamo, generates the earth’s magnetic field, which in turn creates the Van Allen radiation belts that shield the earth’s surface from destructive high-energy-penetrating cosmic radiation and preserve the crucial ozone layer from cosmic ray destruction…

Without the iron atom, there would be no carbon-based life in the cosmos; no supernovae, no heating of the primitive earth, no atmosphere or hydrosphere. There would be no protective magnetic field, no Van Allen radiation belts, no ozone layer, no metal to make hemoglobin [in human blood], no metal to tame the reactivity of oxygen, and no oxidative metabolism.

The intriguing and intimate relationship between life and iron, between the red color of blood and the dying of some distant star, not only indicates the relevance of metals to biology but also the biocentricity of the cosmos… 4

This account clearly indicates the importance of the iron atom. The fact that particular attention is drawn to iron in the Qur’an also emphasises the importance of the element. In addition, there is another hidden truth in the Qur’an which draws attention to the importance of iron: Surat al-Hadid 25, which refers to iron, contains two rather interesting mathematical codes.

“Al- Hadid” is the 57th sura in the Qur’an. The abjad of the word “Al-Hadid” in Arabic, when the numerological values of its letters are added up, is also 57.

The numerological value of the word “hadid” alone is 26. And 26 is the atomic number of iron.

Got the googling rod out….?

I’m searching the internet for results using,

set wall face on geographical coordinates axis

I’d like to find a way to determine the exact angle of a house wall and determine from it’s exact geographical coordinates what direct sunlight will be on it – in particular coming in through a window during each day of the year and any expected eccentricity over years.

At around midday-early afternoon, the sun is disappearing around the other side of the house and I intend to use reflective strips on any suitable inside edge of the window to maximise light coming in, angling it to reflect both the diminishing (non direct) light and rechannelling the last of the direct light that does not beam all the way to the back of the room.

I’d also like to estimate how much extra light and warmth on average this is per year based on average figures and comparable to peak times.

I think I basically need to plot a solargraph of the year’s days, and be able to model the window and it’s relative horizon – so I may just need to know where on the horizon the sun appears/disappears and the path it takes across the sky each day over a year, then I can model it in Sketchup

- is it prudent to start with a model of earth, set the correct tilt and draw the sun’s 365 day long pattern of changing days, then view the model out from the window to see the paths traced across the sky, all accountable using a line connecting the instant of starting & finishing illuminating the inside back wall, and calculating the rest of the sun’s positions throughout to determine ideal reflective areas and angles for optimum annual intake …?

Which for obvious reasons makes me think it will be a respectable amount of energy saving if both lighting and heating requirements can be reduced… – just some reflective strips & fixings too – a simple one-off upgrade budget….

Could a person turning professional installing and setting up this light/heat boost get set up with an immediate source of information
- What tools of the trade for visiting any property and determining size of materials, angle of mounting, cutting, fitting & if necessary, monitoring?
Tape measure, compass/GPS, solar forecasting, light meter, reflective material, fittings – seems about right

Notably it is for an approx SE facing upstairs window with opening measuring 1778 x 1035
It is at 53.34° Lat in Lincolnshire UK.

In fact the upstairs window, on the wall* as [*only] seen in Google Earth is approx coordinates 33.08.87 to .77 W
(will this cross reference with the 1778mm width?)
Maybe I should reiterate I’m optimising the amount of sunlight coming in through the window so people can point the project in the right direction
