Make Solar Power

Ruth Said:

how can i make a solar power by my self?

We Answered:

You can simply capture solar energy by passing water through pipes left out in the sun. Thesun can raise the temperature enough to have a bath or a shower by. If the pipe is black plastic and is coiled to reduce the space and has insulation behind it then it will be more effective. You can use gravity to pass the water through if the water source is high up - like a stream coming from a rock otherwise you will need a pump and so electicity unless it is mechanically operated ( by hand or an animal).
Solar cells to generate electricity will be more expensive as you will have to purchase these. Thy can cost around $1000 or more for a panel that will charge a reasonable sized battery.

Do they make Solar Power Lawn Mowers?

We Answered:

Why not just get an old fashioned push lawn mower? There is no motor to power on one of those. They work great and the only power that they require is someone to push them.

Me and my friend have to make a little solar power plant for school?

We Answered:

If you're going to build a solar power plant, you are going to need a lot of construction paper and glue. You could probably pick those things up at your local Walmart or General Goods store.

Edmund Scientific has lots of products that can be used to build solar vehicles. Here's an example, http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp… You could decorate it to look like a chariot.

My niece made a race car powered by a mouse trap, I'm guessing that's tension power. Here's instructions: http://www.instructables.com/id/Mouse-Tr…
