A Filipino student turned rotting fruits and vegetables into something revolutionary — solar windows that can generate electricity even without direct sunlight. His invention, called AuREUS, works by absorbing UV rays and converting them into usable power, meaning it can function on cloudy days, in shaded areas, and even indoors.

Unlike traditional solar panels that depend heavily on direct heat and light, AuREUS captures invisible UV radiation bouncing around the atmosphere. Installed on walls and windows, it could transform entire skyscrapers into vertical power plants — reducing waste, producing clean energy, and rethinking how we harness the sun.

Colorado household rain barrel law allows Coloradans to store up to a total of 110 gallons of rainwater to use on their lawns and gardens in one or two rain barrels.Who can use rain barrels under this new law?

Anyone who lives in a house or townhouse with fewer than four units can use a rain barrel. No permits are necessary. For other narrow exceptions on who can collect rainwater, check out information on the State Engineer’s website.

What can I use the water for?

Rain barrels can capture rainwater from roof downspouts and the water can only be used for outdoor purposes on the property from which the rainwater was captured. So, it can be used to water outdoor plants, lawns, or gardens, to wash your car, etc. For more very useful facts on Colorado’s new law (including concerns about mosquitoes and water quality), check out these resources from Colorado State University.

What else do I need to install my rain barrel?

Just a gutter. In order to make the most of your rain barrel, you may want to create a raised platform for the barrel, such as cinder blocks or a wooden pallet. The higher your platform is, the higher the water pressure coming out of the barrel will be and the easier to get a watering can under the spigot.

Depending on your gutter structure, a flexible gutter extension can be useful, and may need to be secured with screws and sealed with caulk. Don’t forget to measure your gutter and buy a downspout extension that is the right size!

How do I install a rain barrel?

Here’s a nice how-to guide from Tree People: How To Install a Rain Barrel

Keep in mind that your barrel needs to be sealable to keep out breeding mosquitoes.

What do I need to do to maintain my rain barrel?

CSU has some helpful hints on how to keep out impurities and contaminants. And you’ll want to make sure to winterize it for our cold winters. Once your rain barrel is installed, maintenance is easy. Simply use the water you’ve collected to water your garden and make sure the rain barrel is emptied on a regular basis.

What do I do with my rain barrel during the winter?

In Colorado, it’s not a good idea to leave your barrel set up in the winter, as water inside may freeze and damage the system. Right around the first frost, it’s time to pack it up for the winter. Adjust your gutter downspout so the water will run away from your house. Empty your barrel completely, rinse it, and let it dry. Then, either store it inside a garage or basement, or turn it upside down and leave it outside for the winter, covering it with a tarp if you have one. Make sure the spigot is open and all components are clean. In the spring, you can put it back in place and start harvesting rainwater again.

Will my rain barrel make a difference?

Using two rain barrels to water your plants could save up to 1,200 gallons a year.

Why pay lots of money (or any money) for a program that shows you how you can make your own solar panel as you can get this for free?

Visit Home Build Solar System on http://home.kpn.nl/maas5455/and experience how also you can make not only solar panels but also how to make the whole system for half the price of panels you buy in the shop for free.
Those systems are mostly made from materials you can buy locally in your DIY shop and materials which are easy to get online.
