solar power! 1

[DaveVikingPE]

I'm interested in learning about practical aspects of active solar power. In short: how do I build working solar-powere devices, from a fan I'd like to take to the beach with me to a solar-powered air conditioner, etc. Also, any good sources of information pertaining to where these devices may be purchased, etc. is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

There's some 'building-oriented' solar stuff at:

, and

http://www.nikolasolar.com

Each had links to other sites that may {start to} answer your question.

Suggestion: The web sites tend to be more generous to solar power supplies than to some other forms of power supplies. Visit
