Solar power from the sun is ONLY 1 kilowatt/square meter under OPTIMUM conditions (sun directly overhead with no clouds). So this claim of 100 kilowatt/square meter is impossible.
Typically the heat used to run a steam turbine is the result of the off gas of a gas turbine. A gas turbin is a little over 30% efficient. Using the hot gas of the gas turbin to heat water for use with steam turbine increases the plant efficiency to over 60%. It would be interesting if further heat could be captured from the system to further increase plant efficiency.
Interestingly this one could potentially power the vasimr rocket engine, which only requires 200MW nuclear generator as per Franklin C diaz. And handle the vasimr heat dissipation issue in a manner similar to regenerative braking in electric cars. If the vasimr's are designed to run hot this waste heat could be used to recharge the heat bank(s) that the photocells are in. Between this and some form of solar energy capture, whether heat or solar electric, the power available from the heat battery could extending the energy available from the heat battery. Cool I think.
This kind of step-change in efficiency could indeed have an enormous butterfly effect moving forward in the race to zero carbon emissions.Thanks for your comment and stayed tuned for our next video !
Mr. Musk is a genius, a visionary and a daring and very brave business leader indeed. And he proved it. I also want to congratulate the researchers, for this fantastic work. However, I remain skeptical, because solar energy is intermittent and these solar panels will not be able to produce electrical energy 24 hours a day. They will only be able to produce a maximum of 6 to 7 hours per sunny day in regions where the rate of sunshine is very high. There is no information on the evacuation of thermal energy, which has a great influence on the yield of the solar PV panels in question. There is also a big problem of storing the electrical energy produced. With the inevitable increase in temperature, the yield of these PV panels will inevitably drop. What I said is constructive. I never criticize to criticize. And I sincerely wish success to this team of researchers and to Mr. Elon Musk.
One of the differences between a Solar Battery and Nuclear is that Nuclear is in practical use for 45 years and the Solar Battery that is only a theory, practical use wise.
Fake news…sun only hits us at 1.361 kw/m2 on a clear day with no impedance. Why have they stated a battery power at m2?! That doesn’t make sense. Volume and weight is what is required. We can probably build a 100kw battery. But it would be pretty high at 1m2!
Soooo...heat storage into thermocouples, basically. Hmmm... So if those thermocouples were connected to a NUCLEAR plant, then the plant size could be dropped by an order if magnitude, and you would have the best of BOTH worlds, without the inherent non-viability of solar. And since nuclear has the best safety record over kW of ANY generating method (which you conveniently forgot), it would be the cheapest, cleanest, safest, least environmentally damaging, and most reliable of energy sources. Kind of missed that, didn't you?
This sounds like nonsense: the solar irradiation on the Earth's surface is on average around 400W/m2, so how could any type of solar cell generate 100 kW/m2?
The research team discussed its record-breaking experimental results, noting that "reaching 40 percent efficiency with TPVs is notable from the standpoint that it now renders TPV as a heat engine technology that can compete with turbines. Thanks for your comment !
Write on Google's bar: amount of energy given by the sun per square metre The result is Approximately 1370 watts Go figure For me this poster earned a ban.
@Vladimir poopin I didn't try to contend anything. I couldn't, because I can't read whatever gibberish you wrote in. If you think I was trying to contend something it appears that you can't read either. All I did was state irrefutable facts, no contention there, they are what they are. As for your last sentence, that's just foolish. Which leads me to ask a question: since you can neither read or write in ant coherent manner why are you trying to communicate in a written medium?
The video presented in terms of its content is wonderful, and it requires people of great scientific progress to understand it. For me, I am looking for things to make at home and benefit from them personally. If you like my education, thank you. If not, thank you.
So powerful once it ruptures it's going to explode like the fusion battery of a T-800 And it's coming in 2025...26.......30...............45..................60.............
Solar insolation is 1 kw/m2, therefore the maximum power a PV cell can produce is 1 kw/m2 assuming 100% efficiency. This video is claiming a whopping 100 kw/m2 which a 100 X over the maximum theoretical limit. What a load of bullshit.
Just don't believe this video, it's absolute nonsense. Start at the fact that the total solar incidence on the Earth's surface is approx 1kW/sq.m and the video claims that the technology can generate 100kW/sq.m (ie 100 times more energy than actually exists) and go on from there. This is word salad at best, pure lies at worst.
This time what went on in Vegas will not stay in Vegas!! I met both Britney Spears and Elon Musk in 2000 at Bellagio. Britney just stared at me as she was singing on stage and I was standing in an archway above and nearby. I'm not sure if I was supposed to be standing up there by myself but I did have her undivided attention. A few days later Elon came up to me and started asking me questions about what I was doing there, in Las Vegas and Hawaii during that time. If I would I be fine answering a few questions. And if I was a gambling man? I stated, "I was on vacation and I only like to bet on things that are worth betting on!" I had earned these trips by qualifying reward points at my work. He asked, "What kind of work is it that you do?" I said, "Commercial energy saving promotions but I had been schooled in Automotive Marketing Business Administration and worked in that field for several years as well." He asked me, "If I had millions of dollars to spend what would be the most innovative businesses that could help humanity?" We talked about electric cars, we talked about solar energy and so many other subjects for over an hour. Even commercial space exploration for the consideration of colonization. That way all of humanity's eggs are not in one basket in case of another world war, asteroid strike, major climate change, etc. These we're very expensive and ambitious businesses to become successful at. Therefore we had to talk about ways of keeping a low overhead in advertising, distribution and the manufacturing. He said, "They were all very good ideas and that they should be done!" He said he had already made hundreds of millions off of a couple internet companies he started. "One of them was PayPal," he stated. Not that I had really done a lot of online banking or e-transfers at that time I didn't think much of it, until I noticed online about a year later that I could buy something off the computer with my PayPal card! Unfortunately I had just received a promotion as regional manager with the company I was working with. This made me let Elon know that I had to wait for a few years before I could assist further. I keep on sending out messages, hoping that he will get one and reply back. I will probably have to keep on trying, he gets more messages in a day then I would in five years! It is very inspiring to me to have a conversation with someone and they dedicate the next 20 years to making our conversation reality! We also talked about becoming your own best supplier and starting businesses that help your existing business. A type of slingshot effect that he has incorporated very well. It is so ambitious and amazing that he was willing to put pretty much all of his money where his mouth is and just make it happen with a consistent dedication. Congratulations Elon and I am looking forward to working with you again, one day in the near future! I still come up with innovative business ideas on a daily basis. Of course Britney I always wish her well and would enjoy meeting her again as well. We will shoot for the Moon then Mars and then we will end up amongst the Stars!

I would say that this gentleman has delusions of grandeur, thinking that she was singing to him.

Nothing that you have said is outside of known information about Elon, so you can put yourself into the role of giving him ideas.

I guess all in all it was sort of entertaining when using his story as a comparison to Elon Musk farting , telling the world it's a new fragrance that will save the world, and everyone believes it and wants to buy a bottled fart from Elon for $100k.
well musk is in the ideal spot he can either invent it or buy out the tech 🤔 the real problem is wasted power kind of like lake mead's water problem, use it up like there is no tomorrow.
The researchers said it'll be so much cheaper - with a capital cost per unit energy projected at just one-tenth that of lithium batteries. Thanks for your comment and stayed tuned for our next video !
If it makes it our of the lab it will be another solution to our need for energy. Nuclear works but takes too long to build, is too expensive and costs to much to operate and maintain. A typical nuclear facility takes anywhere from 200 to 400 people to operate and maintain the unit and at $30-$50.00 + per hours even Small Modular Reactors become too expensive for most utility executives to sign on the dotted line. And spend fuel reprocessing is still a problem. Solar on the other hand including this proposed solution should be able to be built in 100 MW sites quickly and this is what we need to preserve our environment. A string of about 400 to 600 solar facilities spread out across the country with the majority in the South and Southwest feeding transmission lines that lead to major population centers would be a start. And we certainly need to take advantage of all of the waste heat we are creating. And land area is not a problem in the desert Southwest. But I will say it again, IF and that is a big IF, it makes it our of the lab into actual production. And this to me is just the beginning. I foresee 60% efficient cells before 2030. When we hit that point, even Combined Cycle Natural Gas plants which are about 50-60% efficient won't be needed except under certain grid conditions.
They need to upgrade the power transmission lines across the whole country to allow for better efficiency and more capable of using and storing of green energy. Be the source a home owner, a coop or a corporation. Sounds like a great technology, I hope it is scalable and investment finds it way to them. The fossil fuel industry/countries are willing to do anything to stop the world conversion to green energy.
Engineers at MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have designed a heat engine with no moving parts. It converts heat to electricity with over 40% efficiency-making it more efficient than steam turbines, the industrial standard. The invention is a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell, similar to a solar panel’s photovoltaic cells, that passively captures high-energy photons from a white-hot heat source. Thank you for your comment and have a good day !
You talk about graphite granules, then melted tin? The incomplete explaination of all the processes involved/incomplete diagram make this not worth watching. The hold up of molten tin not being aloud to harden /cool seems insurmountable during winter especially.
It all sounds too good to be true, if it works then let's see these things sold as generators to stimulate the market, once people see these working on a small scale we would expect to see them on a large scale. But anything that makes bold claims such as these should produce small scale versions so the market can be tested, until then it's all just words that has very little meaning. The only things that can't be tested in the market this way is nuke for obvious reasons.
I don't think you have your figures correct...there is only around 1kw per square meter available from solar irradiation, and a typical solar panel is around 200 watts per square meter....Efficiency doesn't move that fast to begin with, it moves by fractions...No energy source on Earth approaches nuclear power for energy density...
@@TeslaCarWorld perovskite solar cells are a more promising and realistic solar technology, they are cheaper to make and can be double layered to create more energy per² metre, a company called Swift solar are the ones currently developing and pioneering this cell technology for commercial use, the only thing slowing them down is how fragile the cells are, they are currently developing different mixtures in the perovskite mixture to make them stronger so they can be released to the open market, last time I checked they said they were getting close to achieving that goal so we shouldn't have to wait to much longer 🤞.
@@TeslaCarWorld here's a link to my source the videos a little bit old but still contains lots of good information,. ruclips.net/video/tQmFVcD-Mbo/видео.html

Yes. But the researchers believe it'll be so much cheaper - with a capital cost per unit energy projected at just one-tenth that of lithium batteries. Thank you for your comment and have a good day !
A very common ' new invention ' con story. You take the existing system and show how much costs and then claim the new invent will be 1/10th the cost. Good for getting investors.
another great invention that will never see the day, enough give us some concrete shit, stop with the would not be the that you feed us every day that will never exist
Neee Naaa Neee Naaa Neee Naaa... that's my bulls**t detector going off.
100kW/m²?
Only 1000 W/m² of sunlight hits the ground (average).
So you don't get those values on Earth.
Maybe on Mercury.
Mercury 9126,6 W/m²😊
100 KW / meter squared . I'm calling bullshit.
So you just added Elon in title for click bait? Good video but the title tells me you can’t be trusted.
I do have hard time to bealive
that this solar panel should be
close to deliver those kwh as

first of all 100 kW / m^2 is implossibel. this is so much fake news sadly
If it's got TESLA in the channel then it's going to be fake news.

100 Kw/m2 is absolutely amazing especially since that's 100 times more energy than the sun supplys to earth surface (1000 w/m2). So I call BS!
Even above the earth's atmosphere, solar radiation is only 1380w/m2.
This things 10000% efficient. Sounds just like the Hyperloop trains traveling @ 1000mph in a vacuum, Sorry I mean car traveling 40mph in a tunnel.

Plus Capacity is measured in Kwh not Kw.

You talk about graphite granules, then melted tin? The incomplete explaination of all the processes involved/incomplete diagram make this not worth watching. The hold up of molten tin not being aloud to harden /cool seems insurmountable during winter especially.
It all sounds too good to be true, if it works then let's see these things sold as generators to stimulate the market, once people see these working on a small scale we would expect to see them on a large scale.
But anything that makes bold claims such as these should produce small scale versions so the market can be tested, until then it's all just words that has very little meaning.
The only things that can't be tested in the market this way is nuke for obvious reasons.
I don't think you have your figures correct...there is only around 1kw per square meter available from solar irradiation, and a typical solar panel is around 200 watts per square meter....Efficiency doesn't move that fast to begin with, it moves by fractions...No energy source on Earth approaches nuclear power for energy density...
Click bait
Sounds really encouraging . Love new technology.
Speak to the bitcoin miners, they have lots of heat to discharge ✅
It sounds very promising…..
Yes, TPV cells can shake the world . Thanks for your comment, Joyce Bell
Astrea PowerBox adalah spare part pengganti Aki
Like it. Keep up the good work.
Dazzling!!!
هذه أكبر كذبة حاليا لكن رائعة لو تحققت
Elon is Alien he can do enything we love
Too bad that the capacity of a battery is measured in kWh/m^3 or better in kWh/kg. This provides a hint on the meaningfulness of this clip.
This thermo-photo-voltaic cell is a perfect match for the Brillouin Energy FUSION heat source.
It's a good idea. Thank you for your comment and have a good day !
@@TeslaCarWorld perovskite solar cells are a more promising and realistic solar technology, they are cheaper to make and can be double layered to create more energy per² metre, a company called Swift solar are the ones currently developing and pioneering this cell technology for commercial use, the only thing slowing them down is how fragile the cells are, they are currently developing different mixtures in the perovskite mixture to make them stronger so they can be released to the open market, last time I checked they said they were getting close to achieving that goal so we shouldn't have to wait to much longer 🤞.
@@TeslaCarWorld here's a link to my source the videos a little bit old but still contains lots of good information,. ruclips.net/video/tQmFVcD-Mbo/видео.html
Incredible.
Because it's garbage.
What voltage and amp rating?
Too early. Needs to prove out. Would love it to be true.
I would take anything Musk says with a grain of salt.
Musk loves to talk
Click bait shit, wrong calculations, etc. Gotta get dat muskrat hype up.
Whose name is on the patent?
These technology come from an MIT research team. Thank for your comment !
talk is cheap, build a plant like that or a RW application
HAHAHA what poppycock. Tesla can't even get their standard Solar roof panels out to the public as advertised. let alone, these so called newer solar panels... get out of here.
90 m2 gives 90 MW? How?
the dude clearly didnt read the articles he lifted his info from, thats how lol
very good 👏👏👏🥰🥰
Musk Hype strikes again.
Just like Nuclear if you turned off the Nuclear plant at sunset.
Yeah this is gonna be cheap it has a layer of gold. 🙄
Yes. But the researchers believe it'll be so much cheaper - with a capital cost per unit energy projected at just one-tenth that of lithium batteries. Thank you for your comment and have a good day !
Why not have small versions for cars or private homes,boats etc. ? Let’s get off the grid way of thinking.
Bullshit powered cars. How novel.
Your Title is bad and you should feel bad.
A very common ' new invention ' con story. You take the existing system and show how much costs and then claim the new invent will be 1/10th the cost. Good for getting investors.
BS, I'm done.
Fake or mostly nonsense
Thank you for your comment, we'll do better in the next video !
@@TeslaCarWorld No you won't it's clickbait and the next one will be the same.
Yeah...Right....l think he should try to get 1 million om mara first....🤣
Nuclear energy is hot as s*** add them b****** to nuclear energy. 😈 Put a nuclear energy needs refueled still got all the Heat saved up.
another great invention that will never see the day, enough give us some concrete shit, stop with the would not be the that you feed us every day that will never exist
This sounds very promising.
Click Bit thumbs down for me
Please don't tell me Elon invented nuclear power.
