Wireless sensors are sometimes located so remote that replacing batteries is not an option. Such applications often turn to energy harvesters. Energy Harvesting (EH) also known as energy scavenging for small electronic and low power electrical devices uses ambient energy to provide electrical power, eliminating dependency of battery power, thus they work autonomously for years. Therefore,
I have built and used a totally portable solar heater while camping, household use, emergencies, and businesses.
The idea is quite simple and proven. A dark surface, when exposed to sunlight, quickly heats up, which heats up any surrounding fluid, in this case air.
Current mobile cell tower configurations require an electrical power source, land leasing (when applicable), and backhaul to the network. Augmenting the power schema by using a combination of solar panels and wind turbines with an energy storage unit would allow for more remote placement and more flexibility.
70% of the average household's energy bill is spent on heating and hot water. By focusing sunlight on a linear boiler (with a parabolic trough or linear fresnel reflector), making steam and putting that through an efficient steam turbine connected to a permanent magnet alternator, and a condensing thermal storage tank it is possible to make heat,
What ispired this design is the death rate in third world countries as well as UNICEF's statement: "The capacity of National Immunization Programmes is strengthened so that every individual can benefit from vaccines of assured quality delivered in the right amount at the right time through efficient logistics, proper vaccine management, and a well-functioning cold chain system.

INTRODUCTION
There is a worldwide search for innovative technologies to reduce CO2 emissions.
One option to reduce CO2 emissions is to cut down on the use of fossil fuels to heat water for domestic use.
The sun is an endless source of energy. This energy can be captured and be used to heat liquids,

The Solar Power Tower uses several simple methods to harvest maximum electrical energy from solar photovoltaic panels, and a wind turbine.
The Solar Tower uses ranks of solar PV panels to create electricity and also heat the air inside the tower to create an updraft which spins a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) at the top of the tower.
As the auto industry surges forward with technological advancements, the general aviation industry continues to lag. Reliable means of transportation driven by renewable resources, such as solar powered blended wing body (BWB) aircraft, are viable and logical solutions in taking the industry forward.
Blended Wing Body (BWB):
By blending the wings with the fuselage,
Build a 100 foot tall tower near the ocean, far enough back to minimize the visual impact, or, build the tower near an existing local water supply viaduct. Build an aqueduct ramp with a 1" in 50 ft slope 20 miles long going away from the ocean into the desert,
