At the University of Wisconsin, an inexpensive, modular solar-energy technology that could be used to heat water and generate electricity won $12,500 and took first place in both the Schoofs Prize for Creativity and Tong Prototype Prize competitions.
In a package about the size of a small computer desk, the winning system uses a flat Fresnel lens to collect the sun's energy and focus it onto a copper block. Then a unique spray system removes the energy from the copper block and converts it into steam, says inventor Angie Franzke, an engineering mechanics and astronautics senior from Omro, Wisconsin. The steam either heats water for household use or powers a turbine to generate electricity.
I'm glad to see that renewable energy is getting some attention at my alma matter, Angie hopes to refine her invention in graduate school.

Funny that this case was filed a few weeks after the City of Bloomington was served with Patinkin's lawsuit. This is the City's way to strong-arm Patinkin to drop his lawsuit.
Southern Indiana is such a fucked up place.

That's great news, but I still think that solar energy doesn't have the capacity to save us from climate change. It still needs to be developed until it's efficient enough to replace the other energy sources that we have.

Certainly this is unique creation and I read in an article that solar cells provide the energy to run satellites that orbit the Earth. These give us satellite TV, telephones, navigation, weather forecasting, the internet and all manner of other facilities.
