123 Cheap Solar on Alex Jones Show? NOT Solutions for Science, anyone know that url?

We Answered:

Actually, the correct url is in the source-box below.
I also listen to Jones pretty much everyday.
That commercial also had a toll-free 1-800 number,
but unless it's replayed sometime in the future, not
sure what that exact # is. The actual url is -
w w w . 123cheapsolarcom . c o m

It's a diy instruction manual on constructing your
own solar panels from home at minimal cost,
for less than $200 USD. As Jones always says -
"The Government doesn't own The Sun"... at
least... not yet o__O Hope that helps

Are plug in hybrid vehicles planning to include a solar panel for their roof?

We Answered:

One is. Aptera is making an EV and plug-in hybrid which will have a solar panel on the roof.

Also the ZAP-X EV is supposed to have nano solar cells in its windows.

And the ZAP Xebra Xero has a solar panel on top.

And you can modify current hybrids to add a solar panel to the roof.

But I don't think the major auto companies (i.e. Chevy Volt) are planning on putting solar panels on their plug-ins.

Is there a way to make a unit to convert a gas to a liquid at home?

We Answered:

I suggest the information from the site below. It gives you some interesting data that you will need. One key item is the temperature that you will need to reach to liquefy hydrogen. It is about -253 degs C or -423 degs F. That is even colder than liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide. Getting down to those temperatures is no simple matter in terms of ability or cost. It requires special equipment some of which is noted in the article.

You could also store the hydrogen at high pressure but that also takes very special equipment because of the particular problems associated with compressing something that is so small it can escape the smallest of voids in a material.

Based on your question, you would do well to read up on the physical properties of hydrogen and problems associated with handling it at low temperatures or high pressures.
