IDF 2011 Intel shows off a solar powered PC

September 20th, 2011

CHIPMAKER Intel demonstrated an experimental prototype system running Windows from a solar cell that had a desk lamp as its primary light source. The solar cell was about the size of a postage stamp and the system was capable of running Windows and a couple of applications including a “funny animation”. The staging lights probably helped too but still it was apparent that the system was running on a very small amount of power. Paul Otellini, president and CEO of Intel said “This was obviously just a technology demo since we have no plans to productise solar powered computing….yet, but it’s a clear statement of the direction and capability of what we can do with our transistor technology.” µ www.theinquirer.net

How nuclear fusion works in the sun and how photons from this fusion provide us with solar energy here on Earth for things like photovoltaics (solar power), solar domestic how water, solar air heating and solar cooking. Also given is background such as what an atom is and the parts of an atom: neutrons, protons and electrons. Sample atoms are provided: hydrogen, deuterium and carbon atoms. Thanks to Ottawa Solar Power (ottawasolarpower.com) for permission to use my photos of the photovoltaic system and solar domestic hot water system.
