A Solar Air Compressor To Save Electricity

By Ricky Green

We rely on electricity every day. Most of the fuel we burn comes from fossil fuels in the form of natural gas or oil. The problem with that is that fossil fuels are harmful to the environment. It is great when companies, individuals, and scientists go out of their way to develop green technology that does not have an adverse effect on the planet.

As more and more people look at ways to reduce dependency on fossil fuels new innovations are being developed. Viable alternatives to fossil fuels include wind and water power. Other progress has been made in the use of solar power, such as in the creation of solar powered air compressors.

You've probably heard of an air compressor, even if you don't know exactly what it does. An air compressor powered by solar power does the same thing as a regular air compressor, but it is powered by the sun instead of fuel or electricity.

Just to clarify what an air compressor is; it is a machine that forces air into a small tank to compress it. The tremendous force of the air is then used to power drills and other heavy duty tools. Because oil and gas companies operate where there is often no access to power, many solar powered drills are used as these companies drill for fossil fuels.

It is ironic that solar powered compressor drills are used to search for fossil fuels, but often one good thing leads to another. Solar powered compressors make a small difference in the consumption of fossil fuels. Solar powered air compressors derive their energy from the sun using solar panels. The circuitry on these compressors is more delicate than that on gas or electric compressors, so they cannot be powered by battery at night. The great thing about the solar powered air compressor is that it is a completely green product and will help keep our environment healthy.

Perhaps you do not need a giant solar powered drill, but there are number of alternative uses for solar powered technology. The ability to harness solar power has been used to charge and run items as small as a phone or laptop. There are even smaller solar air compressors with run smaller drills and machinery.

The solar power air compressor is much the same as a standard air compressor. The difference is the sun generates the power. This makes solar powered air compressors easy to use most anywhere, as long as the sun is shining. - 21392
