Space based solar power

 Space based solar power is  the concept of capturing solar energy in outer space and transmitting it wirelessly to Earth.


Unlike terrestrial solar panels, which are limited by weather, atmosphere and day-night cycle, these systems can receive high intensity sunlight almost 24*7  !!!



HOW IT WORKS    ???


Giant satellites equipped with light weight photovoltaic cells capture solar radiation in space.


Thus collected energy is converted into either microwaves or laser beams and beamed wirelessly to specific target on Earth.


A large mesh antenna receives the beam and converts back into electricity.



We will be having continuous power!!!  No "night " or " cloudy weather ".

But transporting materials to space results in high launch costs.



Sunlight in space is 144% stronger than what we get on Earth !!!!

But it requires advanced autonomous robotics.

Do butterflies pee ??

 Butterflies often appear delicate.


Butterflies always feed on nector, water, sometimes rotten fruit.


They take in far more liquid than most insects. This means their body must find a quick and efficient way to release excess fluid.


Unlike mammals, butterflies pee by releasing tiny droplets of clear or slightly cloudy from their abdomen.


These droplets are usually invisible.


Digestive system of butterflies extracts nutrients quickly and expels the leftover fluid.


This helps them to stay light and ready for flight.


Butterfly pee dries up fast,, has no noticeable smell and often goes unnoticed in nature.

Kids are always kids !!!

 My nephew Aniruddha was preparing for his English grammar exam.


I was given the responsibility of checking his preparedness for the upcoming exam  !!!



So I was asking him some simple questions.


As he is still in his primary school , I asked him this question.


Me  :   Tell me the difference between flour and floor  ??!!


Aniruddha  :  There is no difference.  Both are same....


Then I wrote both the words in a piece of paper and asked him to tell the answer now.



Aniruddha :    (   thinking deeply  ,  went silent  )


Me  :   Tell me the answer  , you are taking too much time...... 


Aniruddha  :  (  Looking at the paper   )


                       :     SPELLING OF BOTH ARE  DIFFERENT   ....!!!!!
