Solar power

My 1st real use of solar power. My battery powered fan was using 3 sets of batterys a day. So i bought a solar panel and a motor . Free fan power! Now the panel can give out from 0.4v 400mAh to 3.2V 100mAh dependig on how you setup the configuration of the 8 solar panels within the square. right now for the fan it's set at 1.6v 200mAh (200mAh is needed to move the motor for the fan ).

There is a feeling of satisfaction to knowing that your not gonna be paying a power bill (or buying a battery) for using the fan or what ever you have attached to your solar panel. Next iam making a battery charger and thats how iam gonna power my portable games and my GPS and a few other things :)

Looks like iam gonna need more solar panels then LOL.

BTW all that was made for under £10.00 ...and solar panels dont die if treated right:) so thats a tenner for a life time fan :)

PS. sorry about the dirty window , the house is being rebuilt :( dust everywhere!

Hard ? or Easy?
well it took a long time but she got to a web page. I guess it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. After trying like mad I gave up and used Skype to send a link LOL.

LCD TV

Dad wanted a new flat TV!

Well we went to the web and found them a new 15" LCD TV for £179.99 from Argos. not to bad really.
So after checking amazon and lots of places it was strange to find it local in a shop cheaper! so the moral is to look close to home 1st :)
