MARIA SIBYLLA MERIAN'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED BY GOOGLE DOODLE

Maria Sibylla Merian's 366th wedding is being noticeable by a Search engines doodle. Merian is best known for her specific findings and certification of the change of the butterfly and other efforts to the area of entomology.

Maria Sibylla Merian was born on 2 Apr 1647 in Frankfurt. Her dad passed away three decades after her Birth, and in 1651 her mom wedded Jacob Marrel, a still lifestyle artist. Marrel motivated Merian to sketch and colour. At the age of 13 she coloured her first pictures of bugs and vegetation from samples she had taken.

Later, Merian was to papers her beginning decades in a guide, saying, "In my youngsters, I invested time analyzing bugs. At the starting, I began with soft silk viruses in my area of Frankfurt. I noticed that other caterpillars created wonderful seeing stars or moths, and that soft silk viruses did the same. This led me to gather all the caterpillars I might discover to be able to see how they modified."

Merian released her first guide, Neues Blumenbuch (New guide of flowers) across three amounts, between 1675-80. In 1679, Merian released the first number of her second guide known as Der Raupen wunderbare Verwandlung und sonderbare Blumennahrung - The Caterpillar's Marvellous Transformation and Strange Floral Food.  The guide included various cases detail the different levels of growth of several varieties of seeing stars, as well as the vegetation on which they fed.

This guide very well-known in certain segments of great group due to being released in the language terminology, instead of Latina, the 'official' terminology of technology at enough time. This intended that the medical group mostly ignored her perform. However, the perform Merian did locations her among one of the first naturalists to have noticed bugs straight. This strategy provided her much more understanding into their lifestyles and was in contrast to the way that most researchers proved helpful at enough time.

Maria Sibylla Merian passed away in Amsterdam, Holland on 13 Jan 1717,  aged 69.

SOLAR ENERGY FOR YOUR HOME

Solar Panels

You too can utilize the energy of sun to run you devices. Here  i would like to share the options to  turn solar energy rays into power, computation of the solar energy needs of your house and some impressive ideas.

There are two major ways to convert solar radiation into electricity, photovoltaic and concentrated solar power. Photovoltaic cells convert solar radiations directly into electricity. You may already be familiar with photovoltaic cells if you have ever used a solar calculator. Photovoltaic cells in calculators are a good idea to get rid of batteries but these can’t be used for higher power needs owing to their higher price. Typically the power efficiency of photovoltaic cells is 12-24%, which is lower than other energy sources. The high cost of photovoltaic cells prevents their wide usage but they do find applications in areas like satellites which need continuous power without batteries, and small devices (calculators and watches).

Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems concentrate the sun beams to produce heat and then convert the heat energy into electricity by conventional ways. There are several designs for concentrating the sun beams but the method is same in all designs: There is a reflector which concentrates all the sun beams in a collector, also called the absorber. A fluid (molten salt, for example) flowing in the receiver stores the heat. The hot fluid flows to the heat engine and the heat energy is converted into electricity.

CSP System Designs

Parabolic-trough design :- In parabolic design, there are parabolic mirrors collecting the heat on a receiver that is placed on the mirror’s focus. The energy production is explained above: The hot fluid is flown through pipes and transferred to the heat engine. This is the most practised method of solar power plants and there are several such fully operational power plants. Parabolic trough power plants have an efficiency of 20%,  but less area usage and cheap design are their key advantages over the other designs

Dish Designs

Dish designs use the same principle as the satellite receivers. The dish collects and focuses the energy at the receiver facing the dish, There are several advantages of the dish design. These provide the highest solar to electric efficiency and that too nearly 31.3% among all the CSP technologies. Also each unit has its own standalone structure which makes it fit for smaller applications. However, the dish design is costlier than any other systems because of their compiler design. Also, it requires more maintenance. Nevertheless high efficiency is promising a future for dish designs also.

Power consumption of home appliances

Before calculating solar power system needs of your house, you need to calculate the electricity consumption of your house. Let’s assume you want to power backup for electrical load of one tube light, one fan, one TV, one Computer and one bulb. These appliances altogether will cosume about 326 W of power if you take a 400 W solar inverter it will give a backup of 320 W considering all the core and copper loses. If you don’t use a computer the power consumption reduces to 246 and so you can use your inverter smoothly.

How many solar panels do you need for your home

To calculate the solar power needs of your home, proceed as follows.

• How much power do you use per day ? 

                  To calculate this get your last one year’s power bills and find the average power usage per day . But this maynot be accurate because it wont work if you buy new appliances every year, so take the average and then add a few more watts to it. 

If electicity consumption of a house is 168 units then daily power usage will be 168/30 = 5.6 and as 1 kWh means 1 unit the power consumption per day would be equal to 5.6kWh.

•  Calculate the total wattage of the solar power needed.

                   Before you can work out number of solar panels you may need, you need to find out how many usable hours of sunlight your region gets. Now take the average daily kWh calculation and divide that by the number of daily usable sunlight hours and then multiply it by 1.25.

Battery back up

Now all you have to do is to connect the solar panels in the circuit to the suitable inverter that you think would be the best to power up your house. Now you are independent of the gird system and you can now manufacture the power all by yourselves.

REJUVENATE YOUR DYING LAPTOP BATTERY

Have a trouble with your laptop backup?

Laptop Battery is a very delicate as well as a very important part of the laptop , a laptop has no meaning without it . We cant expect a laptop battery to work for infinite hours. In fact laptop power supply is regularly wearing out and it has only a restricted life, you should know that there is nothing you can do about making it get back to its complete health. But when the substances within responds gradually which results in reduced power supply potential, there are some techniques you can do about it, and that's what we are going to talk about here about.



The usual methods of battery flashing doesnt work for these Li-ion battery because they don't have any memory effect moreover For Laptop battery unlike mobile battery and other battery , flashing doest work well because laptop battery  are occupied with inner controllers, capacitors, voltage controllers, current regulators , etc just because when you flash it the inner chips get shorted and then battery would be of no use .


 There are several methods for the restoration of the laptop power supply and that differs from keeping power supply in the fridge where the same old freezing chicken pizzas are stored to the removal of the outer covering and replacement of each of the standard cells inside.


Method 1 
 Recalibration Method.

Recalibration technique is that you will have to strain your laptop to 5 % charge and then renew it completely to 100% . This has to be done in a particular way so that you can achieve up to 5%.

 I will be describing to you these in a stepwise way.

 1. Go to the energy choices and make a new energy strategy and name it something like recalibration or renew or anything you wish. Next modify the configurations of the new energy strategy (I like to call it "recalibration") and modify the settings (when you dim the show, off the display, and put your laptop to sleep) to never in battery power option.

 2. Now stimulate this energy strategy and detach the cable.

 3. Hang on until battery power is cleared.

 4. When battery power is cleared shut down the laptop and then renew it to 100%.

 By this phase your battery lifespan will be enhanced by 20-30 %


Method 2 
 Freezing it.

This is a very effective phase in increasing power supply back-up and life of your laptop power supply. In this phase all you have to do is to discharge your power supply to 50% and then wrap it around in a plastic air-tight cover and keep it in the freezer.

 Wait for 15 hours.

 Then take your power supply outside and let it warm up to the room temperature. When it comes back to room temperature you can take it out of the plastic cover and then renew it to 100%.

 This method will give you a 40-50% increase in your power supply back-up time.


Method 3 
 Replacing the Cells Inside 

This is a very innovative phase and don't do this unless you know how to solder and do the electronic stuff.

 In this phase you will have to eliminate the external covering of battery and substitute all the standard cells present inside while you keep all the electrical circuits unchanged.

 It would be better if you drew a circuit plan. By this, you are essentially changing battery without much cost
