By themselves, these reactions are as environmentally friendly as solar energy, of course, with the introduction of some very revolutionary changes. But even more shocking will be the collaboration of these two titans of the energy industry – solar energy and energy of resonant nuclear reactions, which is likely to give just a shocking result. Speaking about the relevance and relevance of this project as such, it is enough just to note the beginning of the "energy hunger" across the planet and around the world.
But if we stop only at the technologies of solar power plants themselves, then we can already cite a number of very different facts regarding the active development of this direction as quite rapidly progressing.
Speaking about the study of this problem, it is important to proceed from the very beginning. The first discovery in 1839 by Alexander Edmond Becquerel of the photoelectric effect in the study of electrolytic elements contributed to the growth of interest in them among the scientific community. In 1873, Willoughby Smith discovered the photoconductivity of selenium, and in Johann Elster and Hans Geitel studied the effects of sunlight on electrified bodies. Later in 1887, Heinrich Hertz observed the photoelectric effect and reported on the production and reception of electromagnetic waves with their help.
In the future, this issue most often turned to scientific debates, but for the first time the idea of industrial use of solar energy is assigned to the time of Frank Schumann, on the use of solar engines and pumping water with their help. But for his project, about 15,000 square meters of Land were needed to use solar generators resembling modern solar collectors, which would allow for 1,000 horsepower. And for the first time experimentally, this project began its work on the territory of Africa back in June 1913.
After that, the German government, headed by Wilhelm II himself, allocated large sums for this, but the First World War began, which contributed to the closure of the project.
Speaking of the scientific development of the idea, further study of this issue in the effects of Stoletov, Riga, Hoor and others led to a number of questions and later developed into the famous "absolutely black body" problem, near the 1900s. Which was later solved thanks to the introduction of Max Planck's works in the work "On the law of energy distribution in the normal spectrum", which was finally boldly developed in a completely different way, having received the simplest and at the same time ingenious solution by Albert Einstein, in the form of his equation for the photoelectric effect, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921. awards.
