Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:· One electric stove or hotplate (at least 1100 watts)
· Sheet metal shears
· One micro-ammeter (able to read currents between 10 and 50 microamperes)
· Tap water
· One 2 liter plastic bottle or glass
· Safety goggles
· Two to three table spoons of table salt
· 1/2 -foot square sheet of copper flashing
· Electric drill with sand paper
· Two alligator clip leads
Harness the Power of the Sun1. Step 1
Use sheet metal shears to cut the copper flashing in a square or rectangle to fit the size of the electric burner. Be sure to use a piece of copper flashing that is thoroughly cleaned. You may use sandpaper to thoroughly remove any sign of corrosion before proceeding.
2. Step 2
Place the copper flashing on the electric burner and turn the burner on. You will need to "cook" the flashing for as long as 30 minutes or more to develop a thick layer of black cupric oxide.
3. Step 3
Allow the copper to cool slowly once the layer of cupric oxide has formed. It will begin to flake off and may do so with some force as the oxide and the copper cool at different rates.
4. Step 4
Scrub the completely cooled copper under running water to remove any last remaining bits of oxide. Be gentle, as you do not want to remove any of the red cuprous oxide that has been created in heating the flashing.
5. Step 5
Cut another piece of copper to the same size. Attach both panels using the alligator clips to the inside of the wide-mouth glass jar or plastic bottle with the top cut off. The panels should not touch and should bend to match the curves of the jar or bottle.
6. Step 6
Connect the lead of the alligator clip which fastens the clean copper plate to the positive terminal of the meter. The negative terminal should then be connected to the cuprous oxide plate.
7. Step 7
Make a solution of salt and water by dissolving the salt in hot tap water. You should make enough solution to barely cover the bottom of the plates, leaving the clips high and dry.
8. Step 8
Place your solar panel in the sun to see the gauge jump to reflect the current your project has created.
yes cause you need the sun in order for the solar system to work

to save energy and to make it portable
Solar energy is captured and converted to normal energy through solar panels.You see the solar panle collects the energy from the sun some solar panels turn the heat into energy but others collect it from the light. The energy goes in an energy box and when energy is needed the energy that the solar panel collected gets used.It only transforms, it is not yet possible to make energy.I've given a couple links below to articles that can answer your question.
start button, paint, create a "shadowlurker" image, save, control pannel, wallpapers, click on your image & there is your shadowlurker wallpaper!
a solar pannel does not last forever a solar pannel has lots of dangerous chemicals in it it takes more energy to make a solar pannel than the pannel itself will generate in its entire lifetime hope this helps
the first solar pannel was made in 1534 lol hehehe
solar panels can be blue or black.
depends.
a solar pannel they are prety expensive though
in the HQ
around about £8000
he wanted to
It is. You can get a solar pannel to put on your house and do some adjustments and you have solar energy and you are public. That was your question, right?
solar panel power is increase or decrease when climbing in mountain?
what part of a butterfly body works like a solar panel
none of ur bisness
