Synopsis

Solar energy is a clean, inexhaustible supply of energy that is being explored more and more given the current state of our dependency on foreign oil and global environmental concerns. This is an easy, fun reference for building 16 practical and inexpensive solar energy projects. All projects are table-top sized models for ease of use and can be scaled larger if necessary. It appeals to electronics and mechanical hobbyists, high school, and 2-year trade schools with environmental engineering courses. The projects range from a simple, rechargeable solar flashlight to sophisticated solar furnaces and thermoelectric generators. A list of suppliers provides contact information for obtaining all the parts used in the book.
