A stratospheric hose for solar radiation management
Results in EngineeringErection of a high-altitude hose offers an affordable and near-term approach to deliver sulfur-bearing aerosols to the stratosphere, in order to combat global warming via solar radiation management (SRM).

On the Political Economy of Solar Radiation Management [PDF]
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018 The paper investigates what kind of economic system would favor research and deployment of Solar Radiation Management (SRM), especially sulfur based stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI).

The social costs of solar radiation management
npj Climate ActionIn this essay, we argue that the all-things-considered “price” of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is much higher than its modest technical costs would indicate.

Solar radiation management with a tethered sun shield. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 This paper presents an approach to Solar Radiation Management (SRM) using a tethered solar shield at the modified gravitational L1 Lagrange point. Unlike previous proposals, which were constrained by the McInnes bound on shield surface density, our proposed configuration with a counterweight toward the Sun circumvents this limitation and potentially ...

Computation of irradiance in a solar still by using a refined algorithm [PDF]
, 2013 A refined solar algorithm from the ESP-r system has been used to calculate the distribution of solar irradiation inside a basin-type solar still. In the approach, surface finish, view factors and multiple reflections are taken into consideration in the ...

Self-Sustaining Hybrid Passive Cooler Enabling Highly Effective Thermal Management for Outdoor Electronics. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)An innovative hybrid passive cooler integrates a porous radiative coating and an atmospheric moisture‐harvesting hydrogel within a melamine sponge skeleton, synergizing radiative cooling, sensible‐heat absorption, and latent‐heat evaporation. It maintains an average 8.3°C sub‐ambient cooling under sunlight and a maximum ∼42.4°C drop under 2000 W·m−2 ...

Orbital dynamics of "smart dust" devices with solar radiation pressure and drag [PDF]
, 2011 This paper investigates how perturbations due to asymmetric solar radiation pressure, in the presence of Earth shadow, and atmospheric drag can be balanced to obtain long-lived Earth centred orbits for swarms of micro-scale 'smart dust' devices, without ...

Numerical study of a passive solar still with separate condenser [PDF]
, 2009 A passive solar still with separate condenser has been modeled and its performance evaluated. The system has one basin in the evaporation chamber and two basins (middle and upper) in the condenser chamber, with a glass cover over the evaporator basin and

An economic evaluation of solar radiation management [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2015 Economic evaluations of solar radiation management (SRM) usually assume that the temperature will be stabilized, with no economic impacts of climate change, but with possible side-effects. We know from experiments with climate models, however, that unlike emission control the spatial and temporal distributions of temperature, precipitation and wind ...
