Product Description The Solar Electricity Handbook is a practical and straightforward guide to using electric solar panels. Assuming no previous knowledge of solar panels, the book explains how solar panels work, how they can be used and explains the steps you need to take to successfully design and install a solar electric system from scratch using photovoltaic solar panels. Accompanying this book is a solar resource website containing lots of useful information, lists of supplier… More >>
Please rate, comment and subscribe! Many manufacturers are going into production or creating concepts with integrated solar panels in the roof or body of the car. Although under normal use this will not provide all the vehicles power it will make a significant contribution when you factor in the decreasing cost of solar panels and the rising cost of fossil fuel. Here are some examples: Solar Toyota Prius: www.solarelectricalvehicles.com Fisker Karma: www.fiskerautomotive.com Saab 9 X concept …
www.greenpowerscience.com This is a larger Stirling engine that has a 12v DC Permanent Magnet motor operating fixed as the flywheel bearing. It produces 15 Volt max with NO LOAD. This setup as is produces about 15 watts. The heat sink is a water cooled tank that is a bit short for the displacement piston but does work. I will be adding some heat sinks soon and testing it with the 56 inch dish and a Fresnel Lens. The motor/generator has an additional pulley that the other engine I have may be …

This is the second video of a small power setup using an AirX windmill and 3 80 watt solar panels. For those that are interested in solar and wind power and would like their first clue on how to start this may be of some help.
My name is Greg Davis, and I'm a long time DIY'er and proponent of clean, green energy. I'm not trained as an electrician or anything like that, but I've always liked to work in my home shop and am pretty good with building things with my hands. I figured it would be an interesting and challenging project to see if I could put together some basic solar and wind power generators on a budget, using supplies I could get locally. And so this blog was born!
