https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8 How do these images relate to the design your project? en-us 2017-04-13 13:32:01 UTC 2026-02-26 03:22:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166254099 The picture with the solar panels shows that the solar panels are all angled differently to focus the light onto one point. This connects to our project by  showing us that the sun is not always at the same point so the reflectors need to be angled to  certain degree to successfully gather the light and transfer it onto one point.

It could be just the way the picture was taken but it seems like the solar panels should be angled according to the way the sun is. The difference in angles would collect the sun and create a focal point towards something. Rather than all of them facing the same way no matter if the sun is towards the panels or not. Most of the pictures look like they would be affective and gather the suns rays. ]]> 2017-04-13 14:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255061 https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255081 The pictures show us different ways that light is collected and directed to a specific point. The first picture shows the solar panels directing light to the tower. The green house picture shows that light can go through glass and light up but it takes a while. ]]> 2017-04-13 14:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255081 https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255129 The picture with the green house I think has a simple idea behind it because we as in my family used to have a green house but the snow piled up on it and it broke anyway it was perfect because the sun always hit the green house and the idea was to try and grow veggies in the green house. the sun didn't really reflect off of the plastic but it was always hot in it we also zipped it up to trap the heat in it ]]> 2017-04-13 14:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255129 https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255458 because we will be needing to come up with ideas to absorb light and transfer it into heat energy so this is a good way by using something dark with a focal pint o it will absorb more energy.

The image of the sun, earth, and sky will also influence the design of the project because it shows that about less than half the sunlight hits the earth and is absorbed, which means that the project will have to catch and absorb as much light as it possibly can.]]> 2017-04-13 14:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255500 https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255506 the pictures are showing that they are getting  light but the tower with solar panels look like it would get more light because it is bigger]]> 2017-04-13 14:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255506 https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255536  the Pictures are different Examples of ways to Collect light energy from the sun and then turn it into heat Energy, the first one is a heliostat tower. the adveantge is that ]]> 2017-04-13 14:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255536 https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255554 The solar tower with all the solar panels going around it seems the most effective. We think that since so many more light rays are being captured the tower will get more energy. As the sun moves through the sky the solar panels will still pick up light because they surround the tower in all directions.]]> 2017-04-13 14:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255554 https://padlet.com/lplante1/jnz9ie0tmrp8/wish/166255685 All of the pictures have great ways to capture and absorb light.
