Question by KZ: Is there a way to hook up a solar power panel to a small appliance?


i was wondering if i could take one of those cheap solar panals that you can power you car battery with, and somehow hook it up to a microwave, or coffee maker or something like that?

Is there any other easier way to do this.

The whole goal is to not use electricity.

Sure you can use a solar panel and dump the output into a bank of 12V batteries as an example. However, you need an inverter which converts the 12DC into 120VAC so you can run your toaster. The cheaper/cheapest inverters give you a simple (bipolar) square wave. using a switching transformer. Then there are the ones who have a stepped waveform (4 steps being the minimum with a distinct zero portion) and the very expensive ones deliver a sine wave. The latter is basically a DC amplifier with a 60Hz sine oscillator driving the power section. The sine wave can also be derived from a digitized signal with various numbers of steps.

EDIT: I assumed that anyone using an inverter knows that one can not power a 500W microwave with a 100W inverter.

The election coverage that wouldn’t end is recapped in this production by CNN, and hearing about the fiasco in Florida is somehow not as grim an experience as one might expect. A number of faces familiar to CNN viewers (including Judy Woodruff, Bernard Shaw, Bill Schneider, Jeff Greenfield, Candy Crowley, and Larry King) share their memories of events, and enough behind-the-scenes material is included to ensure that the program is more than just a review of what news junkies have already seen.

Question by Josh C: How can I power a couple small appliances using solar power?


What would I need to power a small fan, some LED lights, ect in my home, without spending hundreds or thousands of dollers? How would I set it up? I think I would need a Solar Panel, a AC/DC converter or some kind, and a Battery?

Any Help! Thanks!

Look up solar solar power supplies, battery charger and solar charger on the Internet.Lots of good information there.

You will need to know how much current you will be drawing, the number of hours you will be using power, the rating of the power supply and the insolation ( this is spelled correctly) from insolation tables on the Internet.

What happens to a secondary Amine in a base environment like the small intestine? Does do nothing or does it change??

Best reply by vleeto:

The pH of the stomach is around 8.0 and the pKa of many secondary amines are around 10-11. So they are protonated in the small intestine and are nonreactive.

Raising the share of renewable energy from 8.5% to 20% in the overall energy consumption is a necessary contribution to the global fight against climate change and towards better control over our energy dependence. The various uses of renewable energy are examined: electricity through wind and hydraulic energies; electricity or heat through geothermal and solar energies; electricity, heat, and biofuel coming from biomass. The EU is a world leader in the use and deployment of technologies that exploit renewable energy sources, providing over 350.000 jobs and an annual turn-over of € 30 billion.
