www.SolarEnergyGuide.net – How to Make Solar Panels – Build Homemade Solar Panels & Save $1000s Building homemade solar panels is an excellent way to save money and protect the environment at the same time. Making your own solar panels is not as difficult as it may sound. Some of the things you will need are an electric stove, copper wires, a micro-meter etc. These materials can be easily found in any hardware store. Tobuild your own solar panels you will need to make solar cells, connect them in series and also connect the solar panels to one another. After that you should connect the solar panels to a battery and an inverter that will convert the solar energy into usable form for home use. It may take you a few days to complete the project, but it is definitely much better to do it yourself instead of paying up to $3000 for a ready made solar panel. This is why you should use the power of the sun: * Save more than 80% on your electricity bill or even eliminate it completely. * Save on taxes for using green energy. * Gain money by selling the extra power to the electric company. * Reduce the pollution by using a clean and inexhaustible energy source.

A homemade anomometer I made a while back from a digital bicycle speedometer when I was experementing with homemade wind turbine generators.

Something of note that I forgot to mention in the vid is that this speedometer in particular stores past averages speeds, which is a nice feature to look for if you go to buy one. The most important thing to keep in mind with this project is the size of the bicycle wheel the device is set to meter vs. the size of your anemometer turbine.
