Across the country at Lexington, Mass., a similar house suitable for Northern climate has just been put on the market. Solar energy provides 75 to 80 percent nt U 1 1 , i . ul "a "MS pius an aounaance or. not water year-round. On a lonely mountain in New Mexico, a strange 15-story structure is rising: a solar furnace built by the Air Force. Its purpose is to trap and concentrate the energy of the sun's rays to fire a furnace for testing materials going into missiles, space craft, and nuclear reactors. And beeping out in space, the Navy's Vanguard satellite is sending signals back to earth via a radio that gets its power from sunlight These are just a few of the ways the sun's energy is working for you, doing such diverse jobs as cooking hamburgers and powering harbor lights; operating cigaret lighters and running a radio relay station. It is powering portable radios and clocks: barbecno movie cameras; toys and flashlights; hearing aids and highway markers. And some scientists predict that eventually the sun will run everything from house hold appliances to space ships. Why the step-up in the use of solar power? The era in which man had large quantities of cheap fuels at his disposal is drawing to a close. Within this century it is expected that fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) and nuclear fuels will become increasingly scarce and expensive. Once 12 Family Weekly, December 14, Sun power energizes satellites (above) and (left to riqht) clocks, wristwatches, flashlights, irrigation pumps, the "house - n drawn from the earth and expended, these fuels can never be replaced. The world's only "income energy" is the sun's. The sun showers the world daily with several thousand times more enerev than man uses. He has long tried to employ this energy in ways to better himself. Althouoh the sun supplies 1,000 tril lion kilowatt hours of energy daily comparable to all the reserves of coal, oil, natural gas, and uranium found on earth man never was able" to convert mnrn than n email fiQitinn - - m &a.t.ftuji4 ui una CI iTl directly to his use until an exciting breakthrough was made a few years ago. Then scientists discovered that pure silicon, if properly treated, could convert sunlight directly into electricity. On April 24, 1954, the solar battery, the first successful device to convert useful amounts of the sun's energy directly into electricitv. was rfomnnstratorl WilU f i uu. it iui an amazingly simple apparatus made of strips of silicon, scientists showed how the suns rays could be used to send voices over telephone wires and to power a transistor radio transmitter. Silicon cells have made possible many of the solar-powered products now coming out A portable radio, for example, gets its power from solar batteries housed in the handle. A solar clock has some 20 silicon cells placed around its face. One week's exposure will wind the clock for a year. A solar cooker for about $30 resembles an umbrella which, when unfolded, be comes an aluminized mirror focusing the sun's rays on an area of about 10 inches. On a grill across this spot can be laid hot dogs, hamburgers, or steaks. A $2 cigaret lighter, operating on the same principle, is an aluminum disc with a coiled wire in the center into which the solar furnace,.

Hot-water heaters working on solar enerev havo txum In u c? ai t . , w - " u uic guuui lor several years. And for tropical, arid regions where fresh water is scarce, a small, sun-operated water-distillation unit has been developed. It is designed to yield five gallons of fresh water per day from salt or brackish water. During World War II, sun power saved the lives of fliers forced down at sea. An inflatable solar still was built to float next to life rafts. Made of a transparent plastic, it supported a black porous pad which became saturated with sea water. The sun heated the sea water in the pad and vaporized it The vapor con densed on the colder surfaces and trickled down to a fresh-water holder at the bottom of the still. Far more progress is needed to pro duce solar devices rh r w.avuaa w uc widely adopted. The Solar House near Phoenix, for example, costs $30,000 ex clusive of the heating system, which is estimated to cost $5,000. But engineers tit otr You believe mass production will cut the price. Already there are many parts of the world where solar heat is able to compete with conventional systems. W hat are the nrosnects for the future? The house of tomorrow envisaged by - engineers draws all its power from solar cells on the roof. Only five days of sun light per month would be needed to operate the home and all its appliances plus heating and air conditioning. Solar engineers predict that this system will become economically feasible within the next 15 years. Une of the latest applications envisioned for solar energy is a water pump which could turn desert areas into fertile fields. Tests are being conducted with the U.S. Coast Guard to evaluate solar energy in operating navigational aids. "Big Bertha," a large solar-energy converter, is now running a flashing light in Los Angeles harbor. And the U.S. Forest Service is testing a solar converter to power an experimental radio-repeater station atop Santiago Peak in southern California. One of the most exciting plans disclosed recently was for an aircraft that would fly Umbrella-like solar cooker (left) roasts hot dogs and StealtS for llllrintJara barbecues. Solar energy converter (riah has auto- mac tracking device. Science is finding countless ingenious new ways of harnessing the world's only inexhaustible source of energy. by Lillian Pompian indefinitely on solar energy stored in the earth's atmosphere. Even as Government space men strain to reach the moon with a rocket, one manufac turer, Westinghouse Electric Corp., proposed to the Pentagon a plan for building a lunar power station. Government space groups are laying plans for a future colony on the moon for defense and scientific purposes. The lunar power station, Westinghouse scientists say, would service these colonies by converting sunlight into electricity at small cost. And on Sept. 30, the Army dedicated the nation's largest solar furnace as the start of a major new source of power. The solar furnace, drawing its basic power from the sun's rays, will be used to conduct studies to develop protection for the armed forces and civil-defense workers against the radiation of nuclear and other weapons. It also will be a major tool in creating power for earth-orbiting aircraft and spaceships. Radiation from the huge solar furnace an instrument that concentrates solar radiation by focusing the energy into an image of the sun four inches in diameter closely simu lates the heat radiation to which soldiers, sailors, and airmen could be exposed in the vicinity of atomic explosions. Lt Gen. Arthur G. Trudeau, Army chief of research and development, predicted the furnace, "along with similar efforts being made elsewhere," soon would teach the world how to harness the unlimited energy of the sun for mankind's beneficial use "Solar energy wUl have far-reaching effects in many directions which we cannot now foresee," says John I. Yellott, executive di rector of the Association for Applied Solai Energy in Phoenix. "We must remember that, in the final analysis, solar radiation is the earth's only inexhaustible source of energy. Daily we are learning to make it serve man kind more effectively." Family Weekly. December H, 195J 13 V VJ j; V there's not a trace of Denture Breath!
