Magnet Myths and Misconceptions

Surely off topic but about Solar Panels I would like to know.......

If you had two identical but small solar panels with same battery and volt meter each, both out in the same sunlight, but in front of one of them you place a rheostat and fan so that the blades can slowly pass over one of the solar panels at let's say 1 pass per second, which solar panel will produce the highest battery charge?

So, does the RMS value of sunlight produce more then a frequent peak to peak of sunlight. If peak to peak wins, this would explain the lush Amazonian ground growth despite the heavy tree canopy.

For a series string of solar cells covering even one cell kills the output from the entire string.  That is not recoverable.  Solar modules are typically divided into three parts each with a bypass diode so that shading from bird poop or debris does not shut down the entire module. 

There is a different effect caused by the passing of clouds where the edge of a cloud forms a lens that briefly concentrates sunlight as the cloud edge passes.  If you want good output from a solar array, keep the entire array out of the shade, and keep the modules clean of bird poop and other debris.  You can kill the output of a solar module by running a strip of wide black tape across the short axis of the module so that the tape covers most of one cell in each column.

No they do not.  Neutrons do not electrostatically attract protons or electrons.

Neutrons have no charge-they are not a neutrally charged mass.Neutrons and protons are attracted together by the strong force-nothing to do with electrostaic attraction.

A neutrally charged object is where the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in that mass,and either a positively or negatively charged mass WILL be attracted to this neutrally charged mass as much as the neutrally charged mass will be attracted to that charged mass.

Yes,Mark dose the word twisting quite often here,and it really needs to stop.

Where are you obtaining your definitions?

Neutrons and protons are attracted together by the strong force-nothing to do with electrostaic attraction.

That's right and that's what I said:  they are not electrostatically attracted to each other.

A neutrally charged object is where the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in that mass,and either a positively or negatively charged mass WILL be attracted to this neutrally charged mass as much as the neutrally charged mass will be attracted to that charged mass.

Where charge can move freely within a material such as dipoles turning etc, then the electric field of an external charge will be able to impart an opposing charge moment.  However in a material where the charge cannot move the neutral material does not alter the field.  If you take dry gasses, until you reach an ionization potential, you will not get a wind.
