Solar water heaters produce copious amounts of hot water in sunny summer weather conditions. Now with vacuum tube technology they can make useful amounts of hot water right through winter too. This Navitron water heater is great quality and does exactly the same as vacuum units that are more than three times the price. The technology is based on the same principle as the thermos flask, the heat being trapped by the vacuum once it has been absorbed this gives extremely loss heat loss.
A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is then converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator.
