Guest Post: Advantages of a Solar Heat Exchanger
Maintenance visits with traditional water heaters are expensive and unfortunately they happen on a fairly regular basis in most homes and businesses. Solar heat exchangers almost eliminate these visits because they are much less likely to break down. Furnaces and boilers tend to break down and completely stop working at a much higher rate than…

Just Add Water: Scientists Using Silicon to Produce Hydrogen on Demand
Super-small particles of silicon react with water to produce hydrogen almost instantaneously, according to University at Buffalo researchers. In a series of experiments, the scientists created spherical silicon particles about 10 nanometers in diameter. When combined with water, these particles reacted to form silicic acid (a nontoxic byproduct) and hydrogen — a potential source of…
