Solar energy?


Hi I am about to buy a laptop and I wonder about solar energy Is there a device where I can leave the outer panel in the day that charge a battery to run a 21.5''TV, Wii, and MacBook Apple and take the panel into the night and where can I find a tutorial thank you ps insturional bulid a work of my work price range is $ 100 200 $

Let me start by saying we (my family and I) live completely, 100% "off the grid and are completely self sufficient" The house is built using natures natural elements, the form of an octagon with 8ft wide arch doors on every wall to catch every angle of wind (typical 4 sided homes have half the chance as one with 8 sides. A circle being the most effective model). Wood stoves, solar chimney, solar cooling, solar heating, solar hot water (pool and home), a solar cooker, solar, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 trucks running hydrogen, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet. There are no utility lines, no water lines, no roads, television, cellular service, etc. on our ranch. Everything else is happening here. All the electricity comes from 27 solar panels, 2 Senior people from wind and a back hydrogen generator if needed (typically we can last 9 days with all the luxuries of the weather No wind, no sun, has not happened yet). The water is captured and storaged rain. Hot water is made with solar batch water heaters with a on-demand hydrogen hot water heater as backup. Even our vehicles use alternative energy (2 hydrogen trucks, 1 EV electric vehicle converted). Because of this we have no bills, no debt and no mortgage. The steps of set-aside were taken directly from a DIY guide I offer to those wishing to run their homes with solar energy safely, thereby reducing their monthly utility bills or even selling electricity back to power companies. The full guide is available www agua-luna com. Its pretty simple, but if you have any problems, please contact me directly I can walk you threw the process. Materials You'll need a sheet of copper flashing from the hardware store. In general, it costs about $ 5.00 per square foot. We will need about half a square foot. Two alligator clip leads. A sensitive ammeter micro-currents that can read between 10 and 50 microamperes. Radio Shack sells small multimeters LCD that will do, but I used a small surplus meter with a needle. electric stove. My kitchen stove is gas, so I bought a small burner electric hotplate for about $ 25. The 700 Watt small burners probably will not work – mine is 1100 watts, so that the burner becomes red hot. A large clear plastic bottle off of which you can cut the top. I used a liter bottle 2 Spring water. A large glass jar will also work to pass. Table salt. We want a couple tablespoons of salt. Tap water. Sandpaper or a wire brush on an electric drill. Cutter for cutting the copper sheet. The first step is to Cut a piece of sheet copper that is the size of the burner of the stove. Wash your hands if they have no grease or oil on them. Then wash the copper sheet with soap or cleanser to get any oil or grease off of him. Use the sandpaper or wire brush to thoroughly clean the copper sheets, so that any sulphide or other light corrosion is removed. Next, place the cleaned and dried copper sheet on the burner tip and turn the setting most high. As the copper starts to heat up, you will see beautiful oxidation patterns begin to form. Oranges, purples and reds will on copper. As the copper gets hotter, the colors are replaced by a black coating of copper oxide. This is not the oxide we want, but it will flake off later, showing the reds, oranges, pinks and purples of the cuprous oxide layer underneath. The last bits of color disappear as the burner starts to glow. When the burner is glowing red hot, the copper foil will be coated with a coat of black oxide copper. Cook for half an hour, so the black coating will be thick. This is important because a thick coating will flake off nicely, while a thin coat will stay stuck to the copper. After the half-hour of cooking, turn off the burner. Leave the hot copper on the burner to cool slowly. If you cool too quickly, the black oxide will stay stuck to the copper. As the copper cools, it shrinks. The black copper oxide decreases too. But they shrink at different rates, making the luster black oxide copper sentence. The little black flakes Pop off the copper with enough force to make them fly a few inches. This means a little more cleaning effort around the stove, but it is fun to watch. When copper is cooled Most small pieces. Resist the temptation to remove all the black spots by rubbing hard or flexing the soft copper. This could damage the oxide layer delicate red cuprous, we must make to the work of the solar cell. Cut another sheet of copper about the same size as the first. Fold the two pieces smooth, so they will fit in the plastic bottle or container without touching. The cuprous oxide coating that was facing up on the burner is usually the best side to face outwards in the jar, because it has the smoothest, cleanest surface. Attach the two alligator clip leads one to the new copper plate, and one to the cuprous oxide coated plate. Connect the wire from the clean copper plate to the positive terminal of the meter. Connect the wire of the cuprous oxide plate to the negative terminal of the meter. Now mix a couple tablespoons of salt into some hot tap water. Stir in water salt until the salt is dissolved. Then pour the salty water carefully into the pot, being careful not to get the clip leads wet. Water Salt should not completely cover the plates – should leave about an inch of plate above the water, so you can move the solar cell near without getting the clip leads wet. now place in the sun with the magnefied on top. The solar cell is a battery, even in darkness, and will usually show few microamps of current. That's it it's that simple. If you'd more detailed process and some pics (ouldn't them here) it is available and some DIY projects other alternative energy at Agua www-luna com Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you need help to get started self-sufficient, I am ready to walk you step by step guide thrown process. I wrote several handbooks on the craft available in Agua www-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

window solar heat box

window solar heat box
The reflective window film can be used on a solar cooker to allow more sunlight and trap heat?

I am building a solar oven and want to increase its effectiveness. I wondered if I could use a reflective window film. I would essentially reverse film of its intended use to reflect heat out of the box (your house). I want it to allow sunlight in Heat the oven, then reflect heat in the oven. Will I gain any effectiveness?


thats probably a good idea. But it like making a green house (same concept), and greenhouses including work as ovens, they r good providing heat for the plants, or too hot for any project need. for whether oven, u gotta lot more isolation
