Average Run Time is Two Hours

Most laptops can run for about two hours on a fully charged battery. A solar battery charger can typically provide one-third the power to run a typical laptop computer. So, for every hour the laptop gets used, it will take three hours to recharge the battery. Newer, smaller and more efficient notebook-styled laptop computers can run for about five hours on a fully charged battery where a solar charger can provide two-thirds the required power. But is it possible to produce a 1-to-1 power ratio?

Understanding the Concept of Using Solar Power

The essence of putting the sun to use powering a laptop is employing solar panels to collect the sun’s energy that is then converted to 12-volt, direct current (DC) electricity. This electricity is stored in a deep cycle battery until it is called upon for powering use. Then it is converted into 110 volt, alternating current (AC) electricity – typical household current – necessary to run a laptop and maybe a printer.  Solar battery chargers are a fairly inexpensive way to power not only a laptop when camping out in the wild, but can also provide power for other devices such as MP3 players, cell phones and similar devices.

Here is What to Do

Obtain a “jump pack” battery from one of many manufacturers. I bought a Duracell mode from Amazon that also has a built in radio, light, and inverter.  A model like this this will actually deliver the electricity to the laptop battery when you plug it in.  Then purchase a 12v solar panel with a minimum output of 5 watts…although 10 watts or more would be better.  Again, there are many manufacturers offering different models.  This plugs into the jump pack battery during daylight hours to keep it charged.  This set-up works well because it is versatile and it will run both mobile DC and AC devices.

He built the car on his own with the help from some friends, college students, and college teachers.

Just goes to show you what somebody can do when they put their mind to it. Keep in mind that Marcelo has no formal engineering background. Most of us won’t go s as Marcelo did but we can fool around with toy solar powered cars until a mass produced vehicle comes around for the rest of us. Or just get a small solar accessory for your current car.

Swimming pool solar covers can actually work to heat the water while in use, only by using energy from the sun. They can also keep the water inside the pool warm when the heater is in use, rather than letting the heat escape at the surface of the water when it is exposed.

Swimming pool solar covers come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and don’t require any additional installation or wiring. They work with UV inhibitors which actually draw in sunlight, which in return give the energy from the sun to the water inside the swimming pool. They are sometimes referred to as bubble covers, since they look similar to bubble packing wrap but consist of a higher grade of plastic and also have UV panels installed.

Having a swimming pool solar cover is a great way to save money on electricity, since the need to use a pool heater will be decreased when using a cover. Not only will it keep the existing heat inside the pool generated from the heater, but additional heat from the sun will keep the pool warm even when the heater is not in use. Having a cover can also prevent one from having to use a filter or cleaning service, since it will protect the pool from unwanted debris such as bugs, leaves, and even dirt. Additional money can be saved on a water bill as well, since a swimming pool solar cover prevents evaporation from occurring, so the need to refill the pool will no longer be as necessary.

Typical swimming pool solar covers come in one of three sizes, based on the thickness of the cover rather than the length of it. The economy sizes are approximately 8 millimeters thick, and are ideal for pools located in weather that is not very extreme. The middle class, known as the deluxe, range around 10 to 12 millimeters, and work great for climates that experience some cold months. The premium covers, which are typically 15 or more millimeters thick, work best when used in climates that experience extremely cold temperatures for several months a year.

Having a swimming pool solar cover is a great idea, especially for those who like to keep their pool warm all year long. It can save electricity, water, and money, making it much easier to enjoy the many benefits pools have to offer. They are easy to install, simple to use, and can pay for themselves in only a short period of time.
