Energy Harvesting - Solar Radiation

Slowly making progress with my ubicomp essay. I'm hoping to reach 1000 words (of 5000) before church today (now unlikely but maybe by the end of the day?). Todays Web trawling is mostly about solar...

Solar Radiation

• Mike Wolf's presentation on photovoltic energy from NanoTech BC's reports and presentations page
• Citizen's website marketing their solar powered watches
• TerraDaily's article on Soontorn Boonyatikarn's self-reliant house
• Indoor Tracking using Solar Cell Powered System: Interpolation of Irradiance
• Paper on "Hybrid Nanorod-Polymer Solar Cells" in Science (Huynh et al.)
• Konarka - Developers of Power Plastic
• Nanosolar - Developers of SolarPly "thin film" cells

Thermoelectricity

• Thermo Life: the thermoelectric generators for medical, military, commercial and ecological purposes
• A review of the "ultimate wristwatch technology" including the thermic watche powered by body heat
