Spada Lake Electric Boat Race
The second annual International Electric Boat Regatta was held over the weekends of August 8-9 and 15-16, 1992. People gathered from all over the country, though mostly from the Pacific Northwest, to participate in the four events. The range of events was wide from 1 kilometer speed runs for both battery-only and solar-only craft, to 12-hour battery-only marathons and four-hour solar-only. Spada Lake is a drinking water reservoir located high in the Cascade Mountains, northeast of Seattle,...

The luxury of being independent quickly became a way of life. We grew very familiar with conservation and low-impact living and knew then that our permanent home would be an energy independent one. We decided to settle in sunny, central Florida and put all that solar power to good use. We also wanted to stay out of debt, so patience and...

Optimizing the output of PVs requires adjusting the elevation of the modules as the seasons change and the sun becomes higher or lower in the sky. Performing this simple adjustment just 4 times yearly at the solstices and equinoxes can add about 10 to your modules yearly output. Did I say simple NOT Anyone who has tried to juggle wrenches, bolts, and a framing square or triangle while supporting the array with your head, shoulder, teeth, or other handy appendage, knows what a pain this can be....

At first I looked at some perforated angle iron rack to mount the panel, but found out that we had some Echo Lite PV racks. I understand this company is out of business, but the racks work great I had to modify the rack to fit the Solarex module the module is about 20 inches by 44 inches long I drilled two extra holes in the two-module rack holder. I screwed the bottom of the rack into two 3 foot long 2 by 4s, and that was it. Photovoltaic modules perform best when perpendicular to the sun,...
The Paez
The Paez Indians live in southern Colombia in a mountainous land called Tierradentro literally, the land within. As befits a region with such a romantic name, their 200,000 acre homeland is isolated, rugged, remote, and scenic. Scattered throughout the mountains are 20 villages and 300 small settlements, home to approximately 45,000 people. The five largest villages have electricity the rest are unlikely to ever be connected to an electrical grid, because the landscape is too rugged and the...
Urban Sustainable Living
In 1978 the building was not remarkably different than thousands of American houses. Like most houses, it wasn't energy efficient gas and electricity were cheap. It dumped its waste directly into the city's sewer system. The food that its occupants ate was purchased from distant markets. Perhaps the only thing that distinguished this house on 16th Street and Cluster Lane in Arcata, California, was its scheduled demolition as part of an expansion of Humboldt State University HSU . The history of...

The Homebuilt Dynamo
by Alfred T. Forbes reviewed by Mark Newell The Homebuilt Dynamo book presents complete details for what I consider to be the ultimate in homebrewed power projects building my own low rpm revolution per minute generator. A low rpm generator is ideal for simple and efficient generation of electricity from sources that often are in the 100 to 800 rpm range such as wind, hydro or, as Alfred and Julia Forbes do for their daily electric needs, a bicycle. As Alfred says himself, The Homebuilt Dynamo...
