Solar powered Briefcase......
recharges all smaller AA, AAA, 9V , C & D batteries
and provides A.C. for the in-field micro-sluice...
bug zappers...T V ....or whatever.
It charges its own on-board sealed batteries via the sun or the
car battery...even the cigarette lighter.
The D.C. to A.C. converter takes it from there and converts it
to usable 115VAC. It can also charge a dead car battery or be
charged by it.
It is expandable.
Basically a traveling...
configurable
power-plant.
I use it for recharging field
support batteries (GPS, walkies
and metal detector batteries) and
to provide A.C. for other
appliances....to power a bug
zapper and a recirculating
micro-sluice.
SOLAR POWERED
BRIEFCASE PROJECT
II
In the 2cnd version I chose a better case.
I added a Lazy Susan to the bottom to make it easier to turn
the case to catch the sun.
I added an second, sealed onboard battery.
I also added voltage monitor and control switching.
Not pictured here is the plastic solar cover.
Powering the bug zapper.
Expandable solar cells,
(and batteries too).
The eternal, we know it as truth
but we see it as beauty.
- Rabindranath Tagore
Latest configuration:
added a night light, caution signs over batteries and a
plastic hinged solar cover.
