A new data utillity from the EU Joint Research Centre. Always wanted to know the solar irridiation of a certain location in Europe? Your prayers have been heard.Not only useful for solar energy, but also great when your planning a holiday!
It also gives you the tempertuare of any location, and the optimal degree of inclination.
When using this utility you'll finally know how to get that nice tan!

Nice! We are good in Croatia!
At my exam today I had to calculate if a solar cell covered glider(aircraft) with electric propellor could fly on 7 April, at noon, clear sky, in Delft without losing altitude.
I also calculated how much m^2 vegetation you need if you fly a boeing 747 from europe to america and back once a year on biomass fuel. My answer was 1square km, but I'm not sure that is correct, it was a long(30min) calculation.
.... I really liked this exam, it was relatively simple and had some cool "funny fact" calculations.
I also like funny fact calculations. Except this one time I had an exam in the summer, an it was very very hot (30-35 C) in the exam room.
The exam was about airconditioners...
Hahaha!
I also had an airco question in my exam today, I had to calculate the airco power when an aircraft with sweaty americans is standing on a runway in 38C.
