No pedals and not a motorcycle, maybe it is a scooter or pocket bike. On sunny days I can charge using solar pannels and sunshine.

Thekpv gained momentum in the summer of 2008 by Terry Hope. After approximately a thousand hours of e-bike research and development his DIY micro mobility electric vehicle concept materialized with four goals:

Engineer a electrical circuit with an mechanical system to capture, store and harvest electrical power.

Use alternative energy for a prototype electro-solar hybrid.

Eliminate extra greenhouse gas emissions and lower the carbon footprint by recharging the battery pack off-the-grid.

Construct a vehicle with a solar pannels & small enough foot print to be stowed away inside a Samsonite suitcase for easy transport.

How does the Law of Conservation of Energy relate to solar panels/solar energy?


The law is that energy is not readily destroyed or created it merely changes states.
Solar panels work on one of two principles of energy transfer.

Thermal: The energy in the sunlight can heat water.
PV- Photovoltaic: Photons from the light of the sun are absorbed by the solar cells. Their energy is converted into an electrical charge. This electrical charge is gathered and put to use in powering devices.

This is a brief description of how to set up a solar unit and build a tracking device. Youtube is meant to be useful for everyone and a tool to assist those that need help, I explain how I did it all on my own without any help or assistance. This will allow others the opportunity to build better units and help someone else. Please share your knowledge because at some point you were the one clueless. Solar energy the answer to the future…GO green now and be prepared for later.

Sun Tracking Solar Panel w/ Arduino

I had some little solar panels laying around and wanted to see if they would power the Arduino. They did. So, I wanted to see if I could make a sun tracking circuit to autonomously follow the sun throughout the day. So I did. Here is the result. If you wanna try it, you can download at: http://code.google.com/p/arduino-solar-tracking/downloads/list … The code is not perfect or commented. Enjoy

A Long Kept Secret For Generating Free Electricity is Finally On The Open, And You’ll Never Have To Pay A Single Dime to the Power Company

Would you like to create a generator which creates free electric energy? Using our easy-to-follow guide, you will be able create a Magnetic Power Generator which creates absolutely free energy, and doesn’t require any resource like wind or solar energy to function, the magniwork generator creates energy by itself and powers your home for free

Did you know that you could completely eliminate your power bill, by constructing a zero point magnetic power generator?

A Zero point magnetic power generator is basically a Free Energy Generator. It uses magnets, and magnetic force to induce perpetual motion. It runs by itself, indefinitely without stopping, thus creating completely free electrical energy, which can fully power your home for free

Benefits of Magniwork?
• Works in every home, it requires only a small amount of space
• You can eliminate your power bill by 50% or even completely, depending on how you implement the magniwork generator
• Works in all condition, can work in extreme hot or cold without any problem
• The Material needed to build the magniwork generator is cheap and easily accessible anywhere in the world
• We have simplified the process, The steps are easy to follow, even a complete novice would be able to follow them

Do photovoltaic solar panels produce more energy in hot and humid areas ?

Hi, I’m trying to buy some solar panels and I’ve heard that they produce much more energy in hot and humid areas (our area obviously!). What I’ve heard is about 4 or 5 times the nominal watt. So, is it true ?
If you know more please add some detail.

Thanks!

I think someone may have been confused and been talking about solar water heating panels, which can give a lot more in a hot area, simply because the air temperature is already warm, and the average sun-hours per day is higher. My brother’s house in Hawaii can get away with a smaller panel for his water heater than would be needed in (say) Michigan.

Solar electric panels are more efficient at colder temperatures. But even at cold, there isn’t even a 2x output compared to the hottest day.
