They knocked around for a while and then I ended up just giving them away. Also if you didn&#8217;t want the different colours, you could pick up some free unwanted solar garden lights, and utilize the solar panel and LED in the glass blocks; this method would also cut down on any wiring.

On a sunny day these babies rock, I have seen them cooking all manner of foods, I have even seen one bake a loaf of bread!<\/p>\n<p>The tutorial below shows have to make a super quick, super simple solar oven from just a cardboard box, aluminium foil and some duct tape, and even this solar oven managed to get to a temperature of 280 degrees! This is a cardboard box and aluminium foil solar oven; imagine how much a solar oven would be if it was made from higher quality materials!

However, in many places the growing season is short. \u00a0You end up with an abundance of crops in the summer and fall, but hardly any through the winter.<\/p>\n<p>The main solution to this problem is to preserve your fruit and vegetables so you can enjoy them through the winter months. In my opinion, one of the best ways to do this is to dehydrate food. \u00a0You can purchase electric dehydrators, but why spend money on an electric dehydrator and continue spending money on the electricity it uses, when you can make a solar dehydrator pretty cheaply that costs nothing to run.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in building your own solar dehydrator, check out the video below.

The problem is that boiling dirty water with debris in isn&#8217;t very effective as even after the water is boiled, there is still potentially dangerous sediment and debris in the water. It is the same with saltwater, boiling won&#8217;t make it drinkable&#8230; Purifying water with any still and in this case, a solar still, will effectively purify both dirty unfiltered water and saltwater. \u00a0This is because in both cases, the sediment and salt etc, don&#8217;t evaporate, so they are left behind to be discarded.

Some folks on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Knowledgeweighsnothing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0pointed out that the options featured were expensive and out of the reach of many people.<\/p>\n<p>Today I am going to focus on budget solar power and when I say budget, I mean less than $5. That&#8217;s right, for less than $5 you can build a solar thermal panel, which will heat water to a\u00a0temperature\u00a0that scalds.<\/p>\n<p>This option is small-scale and is built around a reclaimed heat dispersal system from an old refrigerator (which you can get with the gas removed from your local dump). It has no pump as it is gravity fed and it requires no electricity to work. Just put it in the sun, turn on the water feed and you will get a slow but constant supply of very hot water.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is all small-scale, but I see no reason why several of these panels could not be used together in some way, to meet a family&#8217;s entire hot water needs. The idea of using reclaimed heat dispersal systems from old refrigerators is genius and I definitely think there is enough here to run with and create something more large-scale.<\/p>\n<p>Head over to The Sietch and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesietch.org\/projects\/solarthermalpanel2\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check out their tutorial<\/a> complete with lots of photos to help you along the way.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DIY_Solar_Panel_That_Follows_The_Sun\"><\/span>DIY Solar Panel That Follows The Sun<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Solar power is a great way to get off the grid or at least power some household items to be more self-sufficient. The only problem with this is you have to have the solar panels pointing in the direction where the sun the most.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This relatively low cost and straightforward to build project actually allow your panel to follow the sun so you have more hours of sun on your panel, thus, giving you more power, apparently, between 30 and 50% more power!

It is so effective it can heat water to a\u00a0temperature\u00a0that scalds&#8230; The system can heat five gallons of water and due to the high\u00a0temperature\u00a0of the water, this is more than enough for a quick shower as you will need to add more cold water to adjust the\u00a0temperature. The whole system costs around $30 to build.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, the person who built this solar thermal is based in Hawaii, but it has proven very effective there, so there is no reason this should not be just as effective for anyone else living in similar warm regions. It could also be\u00a0utilized\u00a0in cooler climates, but its\u00a0performance\u00a0is very much determined by the heat and sun. Even so, it could still be a worthwhile project, even if it is only effective seasonally.<\/p>\n<p>Head over to The Sietch and check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesietch.org\/projects\/solarthermalpanel2\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their tutorial<\/a> complete with lots of photos to help you along the way.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_A_Solar_Scorcher_Fresnel_Lens_Frame\"><\/span>Make A Solar Scorcher (Fresnel Lens) Frame<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How to build the Solar Scorcher<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><center><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Make a Solar Cooking Frame for Cheap (Fresnel Lens Frame)\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_Kj7aS7ToNWs\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/knowledgeweighsnothing.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FKj7aS7ToNWs%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kj7aS7ToNWs\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT4M51S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2013-01-05T00:23:36Z\" \/><\/div><meta itemprop=\"accessibilityFeature\" content=\"captions\" \/><div id=\"lyte_Kj7aS7ToNWs\" data-src=\"https:\/\/knowledgeweighsnothing.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FKj7aS7ToNWs%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Make a Solar Cooking Frame for Cheap (Fresnel Lens Frame)<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Kj7aS7ToNWs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/knowledgeweighsnothing.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FKj7aS7ToNWs%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Make a Solar Cooking Frame for Cheap (Fresnel Lens Frame)\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Here&#039;s a way to frame your Solar Scorcher (Fresnel Lens) in under an hour, and for less than &#36;8!!

I got this Fresnel lens out of an old TV in a previous video, but it&#039;s too flimsy to use on it&#039;s own. I wanted something that&#039;s cheap to make, but sturdy and easy to use. This is an idea I had that seems to work! The lens can be rotated nearly 360 degrees, but also with the benefit of being able to position, and tighten it securely at any angle you want. I&#039;m happy with the look, and it totally exceeded my expectations for functionality and practical use.

Music By: http:\/\/www.danosongs.com (Crazy from the message) Project Inspired By: This &quot;Solar Scorcher&quot; project was originally inspired by Dan Rojas of GreenPowerScience: http:\/\/youtu.be\/JkgFk15uBxw (Fresnel Lens Giant &quot;Big Daddy&quot;) Project History &amp; More Info: LEGALITIES: Some people have asked about the legality of treating pennies in this manner. The federal law states that there are exceptions made for use as &quot;educational, amusement, novelty, jewelry, and similar purposes as long as the volumes treated and the nature of the treatment make it clear that such treatment is not intended as a means by which to profit solely from the value of the metal content of the coins.&quot; For more information, see: https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/articles\/2007\/04\/16\/E7-7088\/prohibition-on-the-exportation-melting-or-treatment-of-5-cent-and-one-cent-coins A 4 foot magnifying glass is powerful enough to melt metal, incinerate wood, and burn holes in concrete. Putting that statement to the test with various items was the purpose of this project. I&#039;m impressed at the results, and excited at the power available through this Fresnel lens that I&#039;ve nicknamed my &quot;Solar Scorcher&quot;. In the summer, the sunlight at this spot is around 2000\u00baF, maybe more. Enough to melt spots of concrete into glowing orange liquid. I&#039;m curious to see what I can do with all this heat so I&#039;ve filled a glass bottle with water and I&#039;ll punch a hole in the cap. It&#039;s incredible to see that the instant I focus my lens on the bottle, it starts smoking. Just a few moments later this water is so hot it&#039;s boiling, and I&#039;m a little nervous the bottle might blow. Yep, there it goes. I&#039;ll try burning a penny, and, wow, it melted. How about a stack of pennies? Yep, they&#039;re nothing but liquid metal now, and I&#039;m thinking that slag in the mixture must be what&#039;s left of the copper coating. It&#039;s only taking about 4 seconds to melt these. Well, I&#039;m convinced there&#039;s an insane amount of power behind these lenses. If you&#039;d like to see where I got this one, take a look at my video on how I hacked it out of an old TV. http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XFw7U7V1Hok This one boiled water in less than a minute, welded a nickel to concrete, and instantly torched any piece of wood in it&#039;s way. It was brought to my attention that Kipkay did a project like a couple of years ago that he called the &quot;Solar Death Ray&quot;. Check out his awesome video: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sAT6IRBK_uE #tkor #thekingofrandom\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><\/center><!--Ads5--><br \/>\nThis DIY solar scorcher (Fresnel Lens) is so powerful that it produces a 2,000-degree ray of heat, that instantly sets wood alight. With a focused beam, it can also melt sheet metal!<\/p>\n<p>It could be used for cooking boiling water etc and I am sure it has some other genuine uses (fire starting and melting stuff etc), but I am mostly just featuring it as it is pretty cool and it seriously demonstrates how the power of the sun can be harnessed into something that&#8217;s crazy powerful. This DIY project was made with the panel out of an old TV and some low-cost wood; the whole thing cost less than $8 to build.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_A_Cheap_Solar_Charger_From_2_Garden_Solar_Lights\"><\/span>Make A Cheap Solar Charger From 2 Garden Solar Lights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I think almost all of us have some of those cheap garden solar lights, with many of those lights being broken\/unused.

We have featured several tutorials showing how to build cheap solar chargers. These are simple to build as they are basically just a solar panel that produces electricity and charges when the sun is out, but when the sun goes in, it does nothing. This tutorial is to build a simple weatherproof solar generator &#8211; when the sun is shining the panel produces electricity AND then charges (and tops up) an internal battery so you can store the electricity to use later. To be fully weatherproof I would probably make a little cover to go over the external socket, just to keep it dry.<\/p>\n<p>A solar generator like this would be awesome for camping, fishing and emergency preparedness etc. With it you can power lights and other small devices.

In many cases, they are even more effective than traditional air conditioning. Evaporation coolers are also very low-tech and cheap and easy to build and run. In fact, the DIY evaporation cooler in the tutorial below is run via solar power.<\/p>\n<p>DIY evaporation coolers provide true off-the-grid cooling for arid areas. The fact most arid areas have constant sun easily allows these cooler to run via solar power. If you hook in a battery to charge in the solar system, you&#8217;ll be able to run the cooler throughout the night too. A great option for RVs, trailers\/caravans and cabins.
