Green Power – Fuel Cells

By: D L Wilson

Green Power is the term that refers to any form of electricity from a sustainable source, such as solar power, , hydro Power, , wind Power, .

Hydro-power or water power has been in use for hundreds of years and is still the most popular form of energy used today. The draw back of this has been that power plants could only be erected near a water supply and a river would have to be dammed up to create a water fall to turn the turbines. This gives hydro energy a limited range for consumers. ,

A survey from Siemens USA states that Wind power is the quickest growing power source on the planet. , Siemens has 6,300 wind turbines all over the world, including their offshore wind Farms., Wind Power uses huge wind mills that turn powerful turbines, usually found in large scale wind farms, to create an effective amount of power all over the world, providing electricity to remote regions. , Clean Power may be bought in some 30 states, unfortunately, not in all 50 of them, from an alternative electricity supplier. Even if your state doesn't offer alternative electricity, you may still be able to buy green energy certificates. This means that you might have to switch from your current power company in order to purchase these green tags.

Solar power has been used for many years, mostly to heat water and swimming pools; they have recently developed solar panels that heat residential homes., Solar power takes energy from the sun and converts this power into electricity. Solar panels are more compact today than in previous years. , You can buy mobile solar panels that may be installed on motor homes,boats and caravans.

With all the types of power we have today, people are still researching a more efficient and cheaper source of power due to the continued use of fossil energy polluting the earth's atmosphere. After many years of research and development, a new power cell, called the EFOY (Energy For You), has been produced by the company SFC (Smart Fuel Cell). This new power cell is light weight,, quiet,, environmentally friendly, and it is fully automatic, it can produce power for boats,, caravans, , cars, and motor homes. There is a distinct difference between a battery and a fuel cell. A fuel cell converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy by using a liquid fuel (methanol) as its power source. They work very well at low temperatures, which make fuel cells more suitable for mobile uses, as it can be used as a generator when no other power is available, and it is totally maintenance free. This low cost energy efficient fuel cell is now available from TSW Comsat, a company in the UK that provides green power equipment.
