A view of cart #1. Close up of solar panel back, 2x4 support member, declination staff and hinge. Note 12 guage wire coming out of negative terminal, hence black color. Note load disconnect switch for solar panels. This is a safety feature. Cheap because it is manual. Manual tracking of sun adds 40% to insolation captured as compared to a fixed angle roof mounting. this is such a boost to system performance to warrant going outside and repostioning the cart. Good excuse to look around and see what's happening. Check out wildlife.Note cloud types. Feel breeze on face. Mutter, "damm. it's cold!" or mebbe "damm,it's hot!". It was always my intention to use the five 45 watt panels. How, I wasnt sure, that being 1987. That was in the stone age when folks used stone knives and bear skins. No internet, it was barbaric. Although what's the difference between a stone knife and a crystalline photo cell? Both were materials chosen by the primates living in each time. Both materials were modified by the technologies and knowledge available to the then current residents. Both materials were removed from the earth. Like chairs both inventions serve human ends. I bought my panels when the world wide web was just a concept of Tesla. I bought panels before james howard kunstler started his Kluster Fukked Nation website/blog. He is a doomsdayer. He sez when oil runs out in a few years all the cheeze doodle eating nascar dads and soccer moms and thier obese offspring will be mostly dead when they caint go to walmart to shop. In the comments section folks of like mind say they can't wait for this impending collapse so they can become blacksmiths and subsistance farmers, making beeswax candles and spinning flax into thread and hand looming cloth and churning butter. It's the same people all the time. I figger if they was serious they would be too busy hooking the oxen up to the plows to get the wheat in that south forty to post comments to CFN. So they must all be sitting at thier computers munchy wonching cheeze doodles instead of doing all the things I mentioned above. This is my way of telling CFN to go fuck itself. I myself know there are folks way smarter than me. The people who designed and manufacture solar panels. the people who designed and made dc/ac inverters and regulators and batteries. I am just a systems analyst. I ordered widget #1 and widget #2, etc and cobbled a working portable solar PV electric generating cart that can power low and medium amp common house hold appliances that folks use. And these principals can be scaled up to power things like refrigerators or vacumm cleaners. By chosing higher output solar panels and higher power regualtors and batteries and inverters you or anyone else can generate and store your own electricity. Of course as you scale up you lose portability and low profile. The solar carts are stealth technology. These carts can be wheeled around even by a small woman or a teen (think boy or girl scout). What is the defining element of a high technology? On demand toasted bread. Sure, laugh, I want you to. Becuse that is my way of saying any high technolgy is based on, on demand frivolousness. Frivolous is a duplicitous concept. What is more frivolous? Toast or Atomic warfare. Atomic warfare is on demand destruction of the human race. What useless technology. The federal gov-ment of the USA can everyone in the USA a solar cart for the cost of a couple hours of the Iraqi war. They can double the 2008 emergency economic tax rebate bribe of $600 to $1200 and anyone who wanted to can build a solar cart. The myth of the independent Uh-merikan is imploded by his/her lack of willingness to rise out of thier collective stupor every 30 minutes and reposition a solar cart for maximum insolation. It is so cool to cobble together high tech gadgets that make electricity to use other high tech gadgets. Maybe such carts will be used by poineers on Mars. My solar carts are part of "Mission to Planet Are-th"(tm). The concept of solar cart is being implanted on the internet as a meme or virus to see if one feller can change the course of history.
