Solar cylinder

Figure 3.38 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the Galaxy, indicating the main stellar population groups (disk, bulge, halo and solar cylinder) that will figure in subsequent discussions and Table 7.9 gives some relevant statistics. 

Table 7.9. Some properties of the Galaxy and the solar cylinder...

The colors of the cylinders represent the modern sources of energy oil (black), natural gas (yellow), wind and water (blue) and solar energy (white). Each cylinder consists of 22 movable circular plates around a central stainless steel column. At daylight, the cylinders begin to move up and down and produce energy by means of photovoltaic cells and a hydraulic system at night they rest. 

Radius of cylinder is equal to the half of the focal length and is equal to the width of solar module. In this case geometric concentration ratio equals ... 

If sufficiently cheap hydrogen from the solar-driven photoproduction of hydrogen were available, the hydrogen could be stored on board in lightweight cylinders or as a liquid (no re-former ). 

The general ability to respond to short-wave radiation by downward migration is also seen in fish [19]. When placed in the quartz cylinders with three replicate treatments of visible, visible plus UV-A, and visible plus UV-A and B, cod larvae distributed themselves evenly throughout the vertical extent of the cylinder (15 cm) under the visible and visible +UV-A treatments. In the treatments exposed to visible -I-UV-A and B larvae were consistently found at the bottom of the cylinders, particularly at peak solar intensity. This was observable even on the first few days of the treatments when mortality or morbidity was not a factor. Such UVR avoidance also seems, for fish, to rely on UV-A receptors that have been found in a variety of fish species [20-22], yet as with crustacean invertebrates fish also seem unable to detect UV-B. 

Where structural mass saving can pay off, turning into more money-making payload, composites dominate space designers, lured by high dimensional stability and low weight, make extensive use of reinforced polymers in central thrust cylinders of satellites, launch adapters, truss stmctures, antenna dishes, solar arrays and payload supports.

Remote or Unattended Application. Another fuel cell application for remote telecommunications is the use of fuel cells to back-up the solar/battery array at weather stations and microwave-repeater stations. Fuel cells in the 20 to 100 Watt range are used with hydrogen supplied in the form of compressed gas cylinders. 

The hydrogen fuel is supplied in the form of four small aluminum industrial cylinders which are placed in a compartment positioned to replace a portion of the battery bank. The fuel supply could sustain operation without any solar power for 12 days of continuous operation. In actual practice, it tends to last for about six weeks during the winter, when solar availability is most diminished. It is usually not needed during other seasons of the year.
