    Agreed. Regardless, there is a maximum amount of solar radiation coming from the sun per square meter. It's roughly 1kW per square meter. That's the best you can get. For an average car with, what, a max of 5 sq meters of usable surface exposed to the sun that's 5kW - 6.7 horsepower.

    Yea clearly they don't have any advantage over Panels, I suspect that they are using a Bullshit measurement metric. The devices look to have PINHOLE lenss at the tops for light to enter. If multiple suns of high intensity light is applied to this pinhole they might get 60x more power out then a conventional panel could achive were that same light intensity applied to one tiny spot on a panel. But they are not showing the whole setup, a large focusing lens would be needed which would make it obvious that these little trays of balls packed like egs in a carton are a lie, it would be more like the Heliostat mounted Sterling engine systems. They are likely also cheating with the 'artificial light' harvesting, by using monocromatic light ideal for their device rather then sunlight. The only legitimate efficiency number is normal intensity and specta of light perpendicular to the device, that is the standard to which all panels are tested.

    It could be be more than 100% efficient if it is collecting greater total band wavelength of light. As far as I know, solar collects UV light. I'm not certain about that. But that is my understanding. I should know the answer because I've worked in solar for 10 years. But I know for a fact it doesn't collect the entirety of light wave frequencies in all bandwidths.

There is far more light energy available than is created and offered by ultraviolet light and the slightly less purplish light. Prove me wrong.

    Sam, please think about what you are saying. "200 times more efficient" Current solar panels have an efficiency of about 20%, ie they produce electrical energy equivalent to 20% of the sun's energy hitting the solar panel. So 200 x more efficient means they produce 40 times more energy than the energy of sunlight hitting them.

    The best solar panels turn about 25% of the light coming in into electricity. That means that a perfect device would at most capture 4x the amount of energy. Maybe one day we'll have solar panela that are 99% efficient like many transistors etc currently are, but that day is not today, and physics still exists. I'm halfway through the video with no explanation yet as to where all the extra energy comes from. I'm very disappointed in the amount of BS Viking has been hyping lately.

    If your average solar panel is 18-20% efficient, 60x means this will work at 1080-1200% efficiency (which is as real as alchemist turning anything into gold). CPV (concentrated photovoltaics) do exist where a multijunction solar cells is placed inside a lens that concentrate solar light into the cell and it works at 35-40% efficiency. BUT and there is a big but, it costs lot of money to produce multijunction solar cell (maybe in the future when Longi and other manufacturers crack the nut on the tandem silicon perovskite cell the story will be different) + the lenses and the sun tracking system is way more expensive than just using more land.

  • @theirisheditor

    I get the impression that someone misread 60% as 60X ! Even then, one big red flag I see is the spheres being shiny, i.e. clearly bouncing off most of the light, which does not make sense for something that's suppose to be collecting light. Generally the whiter or shinier an object is, the more light it reflects away, which is why both solar PV and thermal panels are generally very dark or black in appearance.

    I have seen similar claims from other concentrating photovoltaics. Sure, you can get twenty or more times better energy per square inch of silicon, but that is not what matters. If you include all the square inches of the collectors, lenses, mirror balls, or whatever around the sensor, the energy per square inch of the total system is only some ten or twenty percent better. Then when you figure in the added weight, cost, and complexity of install it costs more per watt in the end. That is assuming this isn't just a complete scam.

    I can recall something from around 40 years ago which never came to fruition. A Japanese professor had invented a substance that could absorb and store light from the sun. It could take in a lot of this energy. This could then be used as a battery to power external devices. How long to charge up wasn't mentioned, or how much it could store. Also, how long it would take to discharge it. When I hear people yell "It can't be done," I'm reminded about iron ships not floating, heavier than aircraft not being able to leave the ground, and that radio telecommunications is impossible.

    Here is the bait and switch Sam. Measure the opening at the top of the ball in millimetres (probably a prism). Then divide a solar panel area by those square millimetres. This gets you their ridiculous numbers. As long as you don’t take into account the diameter of the balls 😂

  • @williamwarren6639
    @williamwarren66392 күн бұрын

    The only way you could achieve such numbers is if the efficiency is based on the area of the aperture/eye on the top or if the equivalent photo volt cell inside the device is the area referenced. If the entire "sphere" is effectively a one-way glass of sorts, and it focuses the light onto a standard solar panel at an optimal angel, then it could easily give you the numbers they claim. Say the outside of the device receiving light is roughly 10 square inches, and the cell is roughly 0.5 square inches, then the cell is receiving 20 times the light that a similar sized cell would receive. My guess would be that the sphere collects light, and the box has several mirrors/lenses that focus the light from any angel onto a high efficiency cell at the optimal angel for power generation. This is in no way a new concept, as efficient cells can be very costly, and trying to maintain optimal angel usually requires expensive mounting with solar tracking. The reason why it can work in low light conditions is because of the light focusing. It ultimately comes down to cost per wat, and depending on the cost of materials, it could be cheaper to build than a standard solar farm, however: imagine the cost of maintaining those spheres on an industrial scale. Standard cells are fairly sturdy at this point and can be easily cleaned with a garden hose and a mop. They don't tend to build up debrie because of their flat faces, and replacing damaged panels is easy because of their panel design. These things scream maintenance nightmare.

    This could well be a scam! But it's hard to look at this and not try to figure out how it works, if it does in fact works! For me, its shape implies that it gathers light from many angles. It could be photosensitive on the inside, and outside of the faceted sphere. Perhaps, what appears to be a lens in the opening, is a diffuser that spreads light to many of the inner surfaces. Maybe it works in some completely different way, or it's just a scam. The president being a lawyer doesn't fill me with confidence. I keep thinking, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
