  • A Transient History of Solar Power  By : John Patterson
    Solar power has been used for centuries in various forms and over time it's matured into a very efficient form of energy for generating electricity and heating your home. The history of solar power has been one amongst innovation and adaptation and commenced back in ancient times. The Greeks understood the ability that the sun might give and actually designed their homes to own massive openings that faced the sun. These were later coated with glass or mica to boost the heating effect of the sun. This natural form of heating, that we refer to as passive solar today, allowed them to burn less wood for the heating of their homes. This type of passive solar heating remains being used today and is a elementary design criteria of any energy efficient home. These homes are designed with large windows facing south to capture heat from the sun. This concept is taken even additional in trendy designs that currently use special heat-retaining materials on the walls and floors of those homes to magnify this passive heating effect. These materials can absorb additional of the sun's heat during the day and unleash it slowly during the colder evenings to stay the house at a continuing temperature. This helps to extend the potency of this passive solar heating and permits homes that take advantage of this to need less standard heating.

  • Mizan  By : Dr. D.S. Merchant
    The word mizan (pl. mawazin) is derived from the root wazn meaning the knowing of the measure of a thing. It is true that the measure of material things is judged by a pair of scales or by some other implement, but the deeds of man need no scales for their measurement. Raghib writes that by wazn or mizan, in connection with the deeds of men, is meant "the doing of justice in the reckoning of men." He quotes the following examples: "And the measuring out (wazn) on that day will be just." (7:8); "And We will set up just balances (mawazin, pl. of mizan) on the day of resurrection" (21:47), where in fact the meaning is made clear in the Koran itself by the addition of the words "no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least." So too elsewhere, a mizan is referred to as working in nature itself: "And the heaven He raised it high, and He made the balance, that you may not be inordinate in respect of the balance, and keep up the measure with equity and do not make the balance deficient" (55:7-9). Here the words used for measure or balance are the same words mizan and wazn. A mizan or balance is first spoken of as existing in connection with the creation of the heavens, and this is followed by an injunction that men should also preserve the balance with equity. Now the balance that is seen working in nature is the law to which every thing is subject, so that, while opposing forces do exist, yet each force is subject to a law and does not nullify the other. Everything works out its destiny according to a measure, and so should man also work out his destiny according to a measure. Hence the injunction not to get inordinate in respect of the measure.
