NightShine Solar Panels “Game-Changers” In Fight Against Climate Change!
Watt's Up With That ^ | 4/1/2121 | J I Thacker

Posted on 04/01/2021 10:52:47 AM PDT by norwaypinesavage

A new prototype solar panel from the Technical Institute of Copenhagen (TIC) promises to be a game changer for renewable energy prospects....Traditional solar panels work by intercepting photons. Naturally the Earth is opaque to photons, so at night the panels are useless. But the Sun emits another kind of particle that shines right through the Earth, even at night: solar neutrinos....neutrinos pass through the Earth, they do change on their way through – a bit like the way white light is changed into a rainbow as it passes through a triangular prism.”

Keying in on this relationship, Pierrot was able to theorise a molecular structure that would be partly opaque to neutrinos, based on the precise orientation and atomic spacing of the lattice. A materials scientist at Bologna University produced a prototype to that specification that, according to Pierrot, “caught 10% of solar neutrinos"

The neutrino flux is pretty low. Not much energy available. Better than nothing, but at what cost?

“What about harvesting the earth’s core’s energy ?”

Tell me about it! Iceland virtually powers all of their country from geothermal...so they’re taking heat away from the land, and the island is very COLD. No one can tell me that it just happens to be a coincidence.

Even if the sun is not visible at “your location” at a given hour, neutrinos are passing though the earth and effectively coming “up” through the earth at night at the speed of light.

However, every radioactive isotope which undergoes a beta decay also emits a neutrino. No need to capture neutrinos from the sun, put a detector on the exterior wall of your local nuclear power plant reactor building and that is a much more effective capture geometry than the point source (sun) millions of miles away.

Except this whole thing is April Fools BS, neutrinos don’t interact with mass under the known “laws” of physics.

My Bologna has the first name.

Hard to take a story on April 1 from the university of Bologna seriously.

I suggest a billion dollar study and a “blue ribbon” commision made up of the brightest minds like AOC, Maxine Waters, and Hank Johnson to investigate how women and minorities are hardest hit by neutrino inequity.

Let me think .. The neutrinos have passed ALL THE WAY THROUGH the earth on their way from the sun to the dark side of the planet. Then, after passing straight through 8,000 miles of molten rock and granite, the neutrino is going to be stopped by a 1/8 thick layer of impregnated glass and plastic?

Do the new prototype solar panels have a mercury film on them like most of them do?.

Reminds me of the Ponds and Fleishman hype in the mid 80s.

Crap, one of the morons of the Slow Joe/Camel Harris administration will take this obvious April Fools joke seriously and add hundreds of billions to his Infrastructure conspiracy.

BS. If you have “solar panels” that have electrons activated by neutrinos passing through the earth, you are talking about neutrons, and you would have radioactive material produced, and we would all be dead.

First they tire out the neutrino with booze and hookers.
