DIY Solar Panels

Which items would you put before others in a situation where you have to trek 40km across the Moon’s surface during the lunar day. Keep in mind things such as lack of oxygen, one-sixth gravity and so on.

Item number 1 is the most important, down to number 15 least important.

The items, in no particular order:

Matches
Food Concentrate
Nylon Rope, 50m
Parachute silk
Portable heater unit
Two .45 caliber pistols
Dehydrated milk, one case
Two 50kg oxygen tanks
Star map, moon constellations
Compressed CO2
Magnetic Compass
20 litres of water
Signal flares
First Aid Kits, Injection Needles
Solar powered FM Reciever, transmitter.
By the way, assume you have a spacesuit.

Silent, this is not my homework… I have already completed my list, and I have considered things such as magnetic field strength, oxygen, etc. Thank you for responding.
I need two other people’s lists for comparison.
Larian LeQuella, same to you. I’ve completed my list, and need other opinions

1. Two 50kg oxygen tanks

Single most useful thing you can have. The good news is gravity is low so you’ll actually be able to carry them.

2. Parachute silk

Portable shade.

3. Solar powered FM Reciever, transmitter

You might hear something useful and you can let your destination know you’re coming.

4. Nylon Rope, 50m

While not terribly useful, it will help in getting your friend out of that crater.

The rest is really, really useless and should be left at the crash site.

Matches – No firewood, no air in space.

Food Concentrate – You’d have to take off your helmet to eat.

Portable heater unit – The moon lacks wall sockets.

Two .45 caliber pistols – Sadly you won’t even be able to commit suicide with these. They’ll vacuum weld and the explosives won’t go off without oxygen.

Dehydrated milk, one case – More food you can’t eat.

Star map, moon constellations – Navigating by the stars is a good way to get lost.

Compressed CO2 – Unless you have some kind of jump jet this has no obvious purpose.

Magnetic Compass – The moon has no magnetic field. This is a paperweight.

20 litres of water – Wow, this would be nice if you could take off your helmet and if it was below the boiling point.

Signal flares – Stuff doesn’t burn on the moon.

First Aid Kits, Injection Needles – Because you’re going to inject your partner through his spacesuit? Or are you supposed to McGyver something involving the water or the CO2?

EDIT: Hmm, you learn something new every day. The flares would burn as would the gunpowder.

I still suspect the gun will vacuum weld.

Alright, I semi have a DIY project I’m having to learn about electronics for. Anyways I was wondering, know those little solar power strips on calculators, is it possible to use the combined solar strips from my old calculators to extend power on other small devices like say a PDA?

No.

Those little solar strips yield only miniscule amounts of power.

ok well people have rated my dark deck a 10/10. Now is time to get a rating of my wind deck. I think harpie lady is banned or limited..idk. If you can please tell me how to improve this deck. Along with my dark deck I always win with this wind deck.

I need some help here. I’m taking an astromony class and I can’t figure out which one of these is important. I’m stranded on the moon for 7 days and I need to survive. I have to list from 1-15 of things that are the most important. 1 being the most and 15 being the least. Also I need an explanation to each one as to why it should be this ranking.
Here are the items:
50 ft of nylon rope
Two 110 pound tanks of oxygen, enough of a supply to last for 5 days
One box of wooden matches
Food concentrate
Parachute silk
Portable heating unit
Two .45 caliber pistols
One case of dehydrated Pet brand milk
Stellar map (of the constellations as they appear on the Moon)
Life raft
Magnetic compass
5 gallons of water
Signal flares
First aid kit containing injection needles
Solar-powered FM receiver-transmitter

Remember rank them from 1-15 and I need an explanation for each.
Anyones help would be appreciated

Box of matches No oxygen to sustain flame, virtually worthless 15
Food concentrate Efficient means of supplying energy requirements 4
Fifty feet of nylon rope Useful in scaling cliffs, tying injured together 6
Parachute silk Protection from sun’s rays 8
Solar-powered portable heating unit Not needed unless on dark side 13
Two .45 caliber pistols Possible means of self-propulsion 11
One case of Pet milk Bulkier duplication of food concentrate 12
Two 100-pound tanks of oxygen Most pressing survival need 1
Stellar map (of the moon’s constellations) Primary means of navigation 3
Self-inflating life raft CO2 bottle in military raft may be used for propulsion 9
Magnetic compass Magnetic field on moon is not polarized; worthless for
navigation 14
5 gallons of water Replacement for tremendous liquid loss on lighted side 2
Signal flares Distress signal when mother ship is sighted 10
First-aid kit injection needles Needles for vitamins, medicines, etc., will fit special aperture in NASA space suits 7
Solar-powered FM
receiver-transmitter For communication with mother ship; but FM requires
line-of-sight transmission and short ranges 5

These are the correct answers, I did this is class one time.

So I’d love to become more green.

So far I’ve replaced a few appliances with energy star rated ones, regularly clean my washable A/C filter, use a programable thermostat, added recycled insulation, replaced all the light bulbs with compact flouresents.

I’ve done just about everything I can to save energy, but I’d really like to start producing energy. I can’t afford to spend 100s or 1000s of dollars on solar panels, wind turbines, fuel cells, etc… I am working on an HHO generator for my car, but I’d like to produce some on-grid power all DIY. Is that possible? I assume I could build something to generate wind power, but what about actually getting that little bit of power connected to my electrical system? If I could spend 100 bucks to save 5 or 10 a month, I’d be happy.

It’s a nice idea to supplement your power, but connecting your own generation equipment to grid power is anything but DIY.

First, you must get permission from the power company to connect your own equipment to the grid. Before they will grant that permission, they will want to inspect your equipment and validate your installation. They will probably require it to be installed and connected by an electrician who has been licensed in some way to do this specific task. Also, they will probably want to see equipment made by a known and certified manufacturer.

Second, even if you "bypass" the legal requirements, grid power has a regulated voltage, frequency, and phase. Connecting your own equipment will require that you match that voltage, frequency, and phase. Unless you do that, bad things could (and probably would) happen. This is the reason for the first hurdle.

You can buy the power generation equipment to handle this: governors, and phase match devices. If using wind turbines, there are also special variable speed gensets. But this equipment is expensive. You are talking many (maybe tens of) thousands of dollars. A far cry from the few hundred you are looking to spend.

However, if you leave some things disconnected from the grid, then you could use your own genset for those, but you run into reliability issues.

if not all RC Helicopter novices begin with electric RC Helicopter for several reason. There are those who prefer to build model RC Helicopter by themselves to add to their ever-growing collection. Are RC Helicopters much harder than planes? RC Helicopters are more complicated to fly than airplanes however it is possible to learn to fly a RC Helicopter by yourself which is next to impossible for an rc airplane because with a RC Helicopter you can fly a little bit 2 inches off the ground and land safely. RC Planes are nice in that they’re much more relaxing to fly than a RC Helicopter but the coordination you learn from flying RC planes is not so useful when flying RC Helicopters that it warrants buying a whole airplane first. For those who have heard this for the first time you should realize that you only require standard parts from an auto parts and hardware store to create a helicopter (that can really fly). A popular type of RC Helicopter is the electric RC Helicopter. It is powered by a battery that is connected to a machine that makes the rotor spin to get lift.

Simulator: First Following these guidelines when using a simulator will improve your performance in real life. Practice turning the RC Helicopter towards you a little more. Practice doing small very slow circles. This is difficult. Flying left to right is easier than flying in and out. Start doing this. Wind conditions; the bigger the helicopter the more wind it can cope with. RC Helicopter kits even comes with its own set of training gear. We learnt to fly our remote control helicopter the hard way and now offer you tips on how to fly successfully. If you know something that is not on our helpfull list then please add it here at our Remote Control Helicopter Tips or just check out what help the RC Helicopter community has to offer for all you newbies out there. See air hogs reflex micro rc helicopter spin master.

RC Helicopters range in size from .06 cu inches to .91 cubic inches. The most common of these are glow fuel .30 and .60 two stroke engines. Practice in a little more wind… wind really makes a 30 size jump around be on top of it! Practice controlled flight. Try to make the RC Helicopter go exactly where you want it to. The HELICOPTER STATS give you a brief guide to price. If the RC Helicopter has NOT got RTF beside it you will have extra costs to get it flight ready and will have to do some building.

How important is it to find an expert to set up the pitch and balance? Make sure to buy a balancer and a pitch gauge you want errors to be less than 1 degree and the balance of the blades to be perfectly level / even. http://www.rchelicoptersguide.info/rc-helicopter-parts/air-hogs-rc-helicopter-parts.php This is a great starting point to those who would like to take RC Helicopter flying a hobby. Electric radio-controlled helicopter is also quiet. So if you are considerate enough to give your neighbors some peace.

For those who have heard this for the first time you should realize that you only require standard parts from an auto parts and hardware store to create a helicopter (that can really fly).RC Helicopter models are also available in woodcarvings carefully handcrafted to come out as a perfect replica of the original helicopter. The O.S. .32 SXH runs at a peak power RPM of around 18000 RPM with 1.2 horsepower while the 60 size engines can make 2 to 3 h.p!. if you are careful. Extremely careful. I put the blade holders on upside down but it seems to fly ok with them that way. When I get some extra money I’ll buy new wood blades. You might question the danger it can present to the RC Helicopter pilot. The reality is homebuilt helicopter are as stable as any other types of helicopters provided it flies on a good weather condition.

When you get good at flying your RC reverse the direction of the rudder. When you are good at this land while slowly pirouetting. Also see mini helicopter 607 parts. You can also start with a scale-model plastic helicopter. There are model RC Helicopter that are made from wood. others say there not needed.
