DIY solar cell
Dec 17th, 2008 by Mr.Burton
Combining cheap, broken solar cells I created this array of cells, interconnected so that they actually collect charge from the sun. When placed by a window they create some 2.3 V, and around 2.4mA.
I’ve created an instructable on how to connect these solar pieces together: http://www.instructables.com/id/E4Q465IT5KEV2Z9NR2/

there are a lot of …
there are a lot of ways to save our electricity…
on of it is to build our own energy system…
sounds hard right?
but it is actually as simple as 1..2..3..!!
but you need the guide before you can do it as simple as i do…
try this website…

Whoopy do! I’d …
Whoopy do! I’d rather see you melt down some silicon and make the things yourself!
0.4 pounds… …
0.4 pounds… Depends, you may (actually will NOT) get ONE 0.4 punds solar cell. Or you may (Also NOT) get 0.4 pounds of solar cell powder. You get a mixture of broken peices. Most of them are able to be used in a solar panel, but not all of them.
well how many did …
well how many did you get for $10 then?
i am going to make my own panels for something i’m making and if i get that to work i’m moving up higher!!!
A cent? When you …
A cent? When you buy the broken ones they are in all sizes. Put it this way, you can buy 0.40 pounds of them for $10.
WTF dude!!
WTF dude!!
where are some that …
where are some that i can get i cant find any…
(e-bay is anoying)
like how much would it be around per broken cell?
What are you, a …
What are you, a mime?
wtf??!!
Thx for the …
wtf??!!
Thx for the high school project~
This is NOT a DIY …
This is NOT a DIY solar cell!!!
This is a bunch of broken cells strung together. Commercial places sell these damaged cells for cheap.
so what was your …
so what was your voltage under load
Is the LED really …
Is the LED really nessasary?
Hey dumbasses, he …
Hey dumbasses, he has an instructable link in the description.
what does this …
what does this video do?? it really doesnt help much…
Oh I get it, its …
Oh I get it, its DIY (Do it Yourself) video… Wait, no its more like a GFL vid (Good Luck). Thanks for nuthin dumbass
your holding your …
your holding your camera wrong and i cant hear you… wait you were not talking but no matter i can read your mind 2*
ok i’m not going to …
ok i’m not going to be mean.
watch a cooking show. you know how they are so enthused and everyone likes it? even if you don’t like cooking? it’s the presentation
1. have several steps premade
2. have a script premade
3. go through the steps and tell us where you got everything and how we can get it.
4. if you sound like a dweeb, get a good looking friend to do the video for you
pointing out …
pointing out videoes is what people seem to be doing rather then giving up the info, cough it up we are all planeteers and we need the information
Why aren’t you …
Why aren’t you talking about your contraption in the video? it would help make it more interesting I think.
Hmm, no info on how …
Hmm, no info on how it is made or what it is doing. All I see is one tiny LED being lit by it.
It would have been …
It would have been great if you gave mre info about your system.
Great video.
Thank you
Nice, I would use …
Nice, I would use it to charge a battery or a high capacity capacitor (super cap) to use for something useful. cool
hahaha 2,3 v and …
hahaha 2,3 v and 2,4 mA, thats like 5 mW it’ll take quite a while to charge a battery
VERY enemic …
VERY enemic offering without materials, instruction and output details.
