Randomness

Sunspots (economics)

In economics, the term sunspots (or sometimes "a sunspot") refers to an extrinsic random variable, that is, a random variable that does not affect economic fundamentals (such as endowments, preferences, or technology). Sunspots can also refer to the related concept of extrinsic uncertainty, that is, economic uncertainty that does not come from variation in economic fundamentals. David Cass and Karl Shell coined the term sunspots as a suggestive and less technical way of saying "extrinsic random variable". (Wikipedia).

The Great Solar Mag Flip

From NASA Heliophysics. The number of sunspots increases and decreases over time in a regular, approximately 11-year cycle, called the sunspot cycle. The exact length of the cycle can vary. It has been as short as eight years and as long as fourteen, but the number of sunspots always incre

What Are Sunspots?

Sun Spots mark areas where light is trapped. Powerful electromagnetic forces interrupt the convective motion that brings hot, inner materials to the sun's surface. The largest sunspots can be over 10 times the size of Earth. | http://science.discovery.com/tv-shows/how-the-universe-works/

How to get more energy from your solar panels

As the seasons change, so does the angle of the Sun. In Summer time it is high in the sky, in winter time it is low in the sky. In order to best harness the suns energy for my solar panels, I put them on a tilting array. The only problem is I need to use a rope and my car to help adjust th
