Solar and Wind Power to Be Harnessed (Energiyu Solntsa i Vetra - v Upryazhu),

Abstract

The state of wind and solar power installations is briefly reviewed. Wind- driven plants of 1-15 KW, the application of semiconductors for direct conversion of solar energy to electricity, solar distillation, refrigeration, and air conditioning are considered. It is proposed to establish wind power installations at altitudes of 7-9 Km. above the surface of the earth to take advantage of constant winds and thus make it possible to obtain power at any point on the globe. Various proposals are made in the area of 'small' energetics. The problems related to harnessing sun and wind power are discussed. (Author, modified-PL)
