Flashcards
Solar Water Heater
Solar Water Heater
A device that uses solar energy to heat water. It typically consists of a collector panel, a storage tank, and a circulation system. The collector panel absorbs sunlight and heats the water, which is then stored in the tank for later use.
Solar Cooker
Solar Cooker
A device that uses sunlight to cook food. It works by concentrating sunlight onto a cooking pot, using a reflective surface.
Conventional Energy Sources
Conventional Energy Sources
Energy sources that are derived from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These resources are finite and contribute to environmental pollution.
