Converging Technologies supporting sustainable Aquaculture @ YOUR Home
We have a number of current research and development projects in place including: Breeding Porter's Creek Yabbies, Development of a Management Plan for CCAF/Mt Penang Gardens Pondage- Kariong!
We are now preparing for a 2006 project to design and build a sustainable fish production unit for home that reduces, recycles and reuses... energy, water & waste to grow fish for home consumption.
Solar Power
Solar (photovoltaic) panels convert energy in the form of light from the sun into electrical energy. Between 4 and 22 percent of the energy falling on a panel is actually converted to usable electrical energy. The rest is reflected or turned into heat. Because solar panels only work during daylight, and give the best results during sunny periods, some way is needed for providing electricity at night and on cloudy days. The most common method in Australia is to use storage batteries.
Wind Power
The school project will investigate the potential of Wind Power and compare technologies and price between Wind and Solar Power.
