Solar Light by Night

Most people living in towns consider it a usual thing that streets are lit at night. But street lights need a power supply (источник энергии) therefore distant areas with no source of electricity remain in darkness until the sun comes up again.

With new appliances now offered by several British firms, many distant places could be lit with solar-powered street lights. It may seem strange that the lamps can use the power of the sun which shines by day when the lamps are needed at night, but they work by using energy accumulated during the day from the solar panel. The solar panel produces electricity which charges a battery. When the sun goes down the battery power is used for lighting. Each lamp has its own panel so the system can be used for one individual light or a number of them.

In the South Arabia a motorway tunnel miles from any power supply is lit day and night by solar-powered devices. The solar panels provide power during the day and charge batteries which accumulate enough power to light the tunnel at night. The generation of electricity by batteries is still expensive but the advantage of sun-powered lamps is that they can bring light to areas distant from any other power supply.

There is one more advantage of solar power: not only it is unlimited, but also its use does not pollute the environment. That is why it is very important to develop devices which make it possible to transform solar power into mechanical or electrical forms of power.

Einstein for a Day

Albert Einstein, one of the world’s brilliant and respected scientists, is best known for formulating the theory of relativity. But it is not widely known that he had a fine sense of humor.

There is an amusing story about Einstein’s visiting universities in a car driven by a chauffeur, giving lectures on relativity. One day the chauffeur said: “Mr. Einstein, I have heard you give this lecture about 30 times. I know it by heart, and I am sure I could give it myself.”

“Well I’ll give you a chance,” said Einstein. “They won’t recognize me at school. When we get there, I’ll put on your cap and you introduce yourself as me and give a lecture.”

The chauffeur gave Einstein’s lecture without making a single mistake. On finishing, he started to leave, but one of the professors stopped him to ask a difficult question. The chauffeur thought fast. “That problem is so trivial,” he said, “to show how simple it is, I am going to ask my chauffeur to come up here and answer your question.”
