New Eco Project
by andy on Apr.16, 2009, under Blog, Green
I’m currently planning a new small time Eco project. If my theory is correct, then it would make an ideal thing for anyone camping, caravanning or just wanting to provide themselves a little electricity while outdoors.
Three key ingredients will start this up I think. (And I’m only working on this from what I think I know).
- A deep cycle 12v battery is the heart of my power (approx £65)
- To charge the battery I’m thinking solar (approx £30)
- Then to transfer the power to device an inverter (approx£25)
I’m guessing most of this, but in theory will this be enough? How long would the battery last? But at under £150 for this and this basic I can’t be right can I?
How easy would it be to expand? Can you add additional charging devices (wind, water) and/or extra batteries to store the charge easily? And how would you wire them up?
I’m probably forgetting something obvious. Any comments or further ideas, please get in touch and let me know. I might try and get this up and running during the summer and try it out.
