PROPERTY PAGE
This
page and blog (link above) is directed at addressing intellectual
property
concerns of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs working
in
the solar energy field. However, people in other fields,
e.g.,
semiconductors, will also find this page useful.

IS
SOLAR ENERGY HARMFUL?
The
wide scale interest in the commercial potential of cadmium telluride
(CdTe)
and copper indium diselenide (CIS) photovoltaic modules is tempered by
the use
of toxic metals such as cadmium and selenium in their manufacture.
Research found these fears to be groundless.

EARTH
DAY APRIL 20, 2008 GALLERY
|

I was soaking wet when I got to the mall. I had parked my Prius at Haine's Point and walked.
It was very muddy.
I forgot to bring an umbrella.
The crowd was light but very young.
Sometimes the sun almost came out, but it kept on raining.
Manning the booths.
Some people were interested.
Wet, wet, wet.
Soggy.
Please feel free to use any of the images on this page. If you
do, it would be nice to give me a plug or a link.

Patent Attorney
Office River-Vu

My law firm, Young & Thompson, moved into nice new offices at
the
northern edge of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.
Somehow
I was given a prestigious (but not corner) office with a view
of
the Potomac river.
Although you can barely see it, the Alexandria boathouse is at the end
of Madison street, and one can see the rowing team practice in the late
afternoon.
AACHEN GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

The Goozner
Solar Review arises from my
long standing interest in all
forms of alternative energy. This not only includes solar
energy,
but all kinds of energy that are non-carbon based. Above,
you
see me in front of the geothermal project at the University of Aachen
(Germany). The geothermal energy is obtained by sinking a
shaft
about 1km straight into the ground, and exploiting the temperature
gradient between the abyss and the surface. This shaft will
supply most of the energy used by the University.

BOB
GOOZNER'S
PATENTS
Before I became a patent attorney, I worked in the alternative
energy and environmental fields as a scientist and engineer.
I also was an inventor on several patents, including:
SOLAR COOKER PROJECT
All alternative
energy
is not necessarily high tech. Even low tech
solutions may
have a great impact on people's lives.
For example, you may wish to consider
the Solar
Cooker Project, which aids Darfur refugees.
