<p>This video is the 3rd of a 3 part series to show what a homemade portable solar generator could do in a power outage. Conclusion: A portable solar generator can be a practical alternative to gas generators. When used with adequate planning and preparation, they will run a small compact freezer for extended periods without commercial power. Freezer packs, ice packs, etc will enhance the longevity of the battery between recharging by assisting in maintaining a constant temperature within the freezer thereby decreasing the number of times the compressor has to activate. ****SPECIFICS***** The freezer is 5.0 cu ft, 115V, 1.69Amps, and Startup Amps = 12A. All of this is on the label. After initial startup the kill-a-watt&#8217;s average read of the freezer is 96 Watts at .99Amps to 1.04Amps. I finished the experiment at 5:00 pm with an ending voltage of 11.19v (starting voltage was 13.07v). I started charging the battery with a speed charger (12v at 4Amps &#8220;medium battery setting&#8221;) around 5:30 pm so after aprox 5.5 hrs of charging, the battery was at 12.45v.

<p>Visit &#8211; www.SolarStirlingPlants.net And Get Free Electricity Easily. Robert Stirling, the inventor of Stirling machine, has brought to our life a new light of easiness in getting the electricity for free through Solar Stirling Plant. The abundance of solar energy is such a great way to live a green living since the use of it will give no result on the risen of carbon dioxide emission. The also big news for us is that we can wave goodbye to the utility bills because the machine allows us to get electricity for free! The basic components of this Solar Stirling Plant are Stirling machine and the parabolic reflector dishes. Here is how it works&#8230; The sunlight falls to the parabolic reflector dishes, which then reflected to the Stirling machine heat drive to produce a massive heat and with the help of generator revolves inside the machine, Voila! These easy steps get you your own free electricity. That makes the huge difference point between Solar Stirling Plant and general panels. You may find it easy to build even if you think you are not that type of DIY person. The very first thing you can do is to read wisely the guidebook of Solar Stirling Plant product building. The materials are easily found and you can basically get them all for less than 0. Keep in mind or you may also write down the things you need to buy at the nearest local hardware outlet to get you items for Solar Stirling Plant. The next thing you need to do is simply follow the instructions and you will <b>&#8230;</b></p>

<p>This is a DIY (do it yourself) solar thermal panel that made hot water for a farm. I built all components with my friend using all parts from Lowes/Home Depot/local hardware stores. Each challenge was to make the solar thermal panels under 0, which we successfully did for each panel. All components can be bought from stores, nothing was special order or special parts. After hooking up the system for the summer of 2011, the system performed very well and actually produced 170 degree F water. The hot water was kept in a Rubbermaid bucket, but the plastic was so cheap that the hot water from the panel melted the Rubbermaid bucket you see in the one of the pictures. I created a thermosiphon, which means that I did not use any electric pumps to move the hot water. The flow﻿ rate is about 1 gallon per minute to 1.5 gallons per minute (GPM) when measured inside of the hot water tubing. There are﻿ no tubes inside the barrel. I used hose connectors through the side of the barrel with silicone glue. They are like garden hose valves/connectors that you can find in Lowes/Home Depot. I am using CPVC because garden hose and regular PVC melt at the high temperatures. I was getting 190 degree F temperatures in February with this configuration. Below 55 F, the unit is still producing hot water at 150 F or higher. Also, I would recommend that you have a drainback system for during the day so that if you are using straight water it does not freeze or burst your piping. If you are trying <b>&#8230;</b></p>
