solar

I am looking to get a solar panel for my shed to setup so that I can tender my 4-wheeler/riding lawnmower batteries when not in use. The costs are super cheap and there is not much to do to set one up. Has anyone else ever set one up before? https://a.co/d/0OARoQf

A huge solar storm is heading for Earth, and it's likely to hit tomorrow. The storm could knockout satellites, disrupt power supplies and spark stunning displays of the Northern Lights. It was created last week by an enormous explosion in the sun's atmosphere known as a solar flare, and...

I am not surprised by this. Source

For some reason I started looking at solar power kits tonight on amazon, then that led me to Youtube videos. Has anyone ever looked into them? It looks like they have come along way. 100 watt system 400 watt system Watching some Youtube videos people really get into them. If I had a camper...

With all the vehicles on the road this day and age. Why not have a 3 foot x 3 foot solar panel located on top of the roof somewhere? Cars could be larger than a pickup's. Even the top of semis and trailers could use this. Now this of course can't keep up with the alternator to charge your...

Has anyone played Sins of a Solar Empire?  Its a PC game Ten millennia have passed since you and the few survivors of the once mighty Vasari Empire fled from an unknown threat that all but exterminated your kind. You now find yourself at the fringe of the galaxy in a sector occupied by a...

Geez you think with this type of cheap and free power, you think we could harness it? :Sarcastic:

Why not?  It makes sense.  While I was surfing last night I saw something about a solar powered boat.  The part I read made it sound like the project had stopped but was back on. Racing a solar powered boat doesn't sound that interesting, but fishing in one makes so much sense.
