Do not rebuild the 9th Ward of New Orleans

New Orleans is below sea level. It will flood again next month. And again next year.
Stop messing with Mother Nature.
Move to higher ground.

If each one of us will install a car battery in our house,
and keep it changed up with a Solar panel, we can power our computer, lamp, radio from pure, clean, safe sun.

The best thing you can do for your kids future, is to let them see you installing a car battery, especially a Prius car battery in your house.
This teaches kids the power of how to save solar power.
How to use solar power to run your whole house.

Do you need more power to run a micro wave oven?
Just hook several car batteries in Parallel.

You can power your whole house from solar, once you learn how, but the first baby step is to just get a car battery, attach a Solar panel & start powering your computer.

This will give your kids the knowledge they need to harness solar to save the world from oil & dirty coal.

Building new solar powered BERM housing is the best way to fight against global warming.

Emergency demonstration against building Levees around Sacramento. 11am, at the Federal Building,

Be visible. Bring signs.

If DA Jim Garrison was still the DA in New Orleans, he would have begun a criminal investigation immediately.
In 20 days he would have sent out subpoenas & arrested the whole Bd of Directors of BP, HB & TO.
By now he would have begun a criminal trial of BP.
What ever happened to the son of Garrison?
Garrison was the best DA the US has ever seen.

Any DA along the Gulf could do the same. Most DA’s are just puppets of the corporations.

Where is Huey Long when we need him?

We can’t have both health care & war fare.
Bring the troops home by Christmas.

Now if we could just get CA$H for clunker houses.

Most houses cost too much to fuel: coal, electricity, gas.

If the govt. would pay us to build solar powered houses, we could get independent from the Saudi oil pirate who attacked us on 911.

Cost of a Solar powered berm House.

Construction $250 k
Land $ 40 k
Cost of driving a gas car 8 years $300 k

The solar house stand alone & requires no coal, no gas, no electricity. The money you save over 8 years pays for the house.

If you plug your electric car into your solar panel, you drive for free for 8 years, saving $300k.

If cash for cars worked great, why not ca$h for solar houses?

President Obama, what effect will global warming have on Bees? Here is a solution.

Honey bees saved with free spray.  

Bee keepers have found a natural spray to   prevent the spread of diseases in bees, increase honey production by 30%.  

They spray cow pee on the eggs.    

This works far better than any other anti-microbial spray
to save the eggs from microbial infections.

The bees become calmer & 
happier.   The bees clean the hive better, fight less and have more energy.

Scientists Ruchiva Tiwari & Mr. Gurband  have been doing this research at the 

Golden Ball University of Agriculture in Uttarakhand, India for 3 years.

This allows them to recycle cow urine, which usually just goes to waste.

      India has a 5,000 year history of using cow urine.   

Cow Urine has been used also to treat skin infections on people.

      Mahatma  Gandhi developed TB in prison in the 1950’s.

Gandhi was famous for having cured his own TB by recycling his own perfect medicine, 

his urine.

Universal Solar Camera Charger

Charge any camera battery while out on expedition.
More detailed information on providing solar power to digital cameras is Modern Outpost…
http://www.modernoutpost.com

Putting together a solar powered camera charger is easy when you have the right parts. This video shows how to build a solar power system for most dSLR battery packs.

Equipment used includes…
PowerFilm rollable solar panel
Voltaic Generator multi-voltage lithium battery pack
Solar panel input cable for the Voltaic
Universal battery pack charger
The Voltaic Generator battery pack was set to its 12-20V range, and it auto-selects the voltage within this range that supports charge flowing to the load (ie the Ansmann Vario).

For complete information on creating a portable solar power system for your electronics, including digital cameras, camcorders, laptops, iPods, satellite phones, AA batteries, and more, the place to go is Modern Outpost.

Solar Panel Charges Truck Battery

http://www.elperfecto.com

My 1999 Ford Ranger had a dead battery and would not start. It has an old 12V battery that should be replaced. In the meantime, to get the truck running again, I connected a solar panel to bring the truck back to life.

Battery question for solar power – Does (2) 6V batteries hooked up in series make it a 12V source?

I dont know if I am asking this properly but basically i am trying to set up a solar power system and need some help. I have a 100w panel and want to store it in (2) 6V golf cart batteries. The inverter that i am looking at has input of 12V DC.

Would i hook them up in series or parallel?

So if i hook up the (2) 6V batteries together does that make it a 12V output into the inverter??

Thanks

oh and if anyone has any other suggestions/advise/tips my system is as follows.

(1) 100W panel
(1) charge controller
(1) suresine Inverter
(2) Energizer GC2 6V golf cart batteries
misc cables

Do i need any other components or is this all that i will need?
Thx affaf. that was my main question
Bill…it is only to run/charge a laptop and to charge devices i.e. gps, MP3, cell phone. I have no appliances or anything and this system was designed to give me 3 days of use straingt from the batteries just in case it is cloudy for 3 days in row.
perhaps Bill, i need to go back to the company that designed this system and see what they have to say about your recommendations.
Thanks

yes. A 12 volt lead acid battery is made up of 6 cells in series, each generating 2 volts. A 6 volt lead acid battery is made up of 3 cells.

But the two batteries should be identical batteries, same brand, model and approximate age.

100 watts is a very small panel. Make sure the charge controller can be configured for that size panel, and more important, for the battery size and capacity.

The batteries are rated at 225 amp hours. That comes to 2.7 kW hours of storage energy. The 100 watt panel, at full efficiency, will take 2700/100 = 27 hours to charge those batteries. At 6 hours of sun a day, that is 5 days. Throw in a few overcast days, and you are up to a week. Get a bigger panel.

The above arithmetic in detail:
power = volts x amps
2700 watt-hours = 225 amp-hours x 12 volts
2700 watt-hours / 100 watts = 27 hours

edit: "was designed to give me 3 days of use straingt from the batteries just in case it is cloudy for 3 days in row"
OK, given that info, the huge batteries starts to make sense. But it still seems overpowered. You must have paid a fortune for those batteries. The laptop is by far the largest load, And that is perhaps 20-30 watts. Say 40 watts total.

How long will the batteries work at that load?
2700 watt-hours / 40 watts = 67 hours or 2.8 days, close to your 3 days. Just remember, you will need a week to charge the batteries back up.

Solving Life’s Solar Battery with Mathematica

Life’s Solar Battery Research Overview: http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/psures/

Sener’s Publication in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences – http://www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/104/40/15723

Biophysicist Melih Sener used Mathematica to piece what he calls a molecular jigsaw puzzle into one of the largest light harvesting assemblies ever put together on a computer. Mathematica was his building tool, he says, because it allowed him to combine three decades of research by hundreds of scientists into one framework where he could assemble the puzzle and then analyze its structure and function. “The reason why I still use Mathematica and have been using it for all this time is that it’s a very intuitive, a very seamless development environment, and I can go from an idea to a computational framework where I can get quick, easy numerical answers to a problem fairly easily.”
