Solar Evaporative Cooler

It's getting hot again, time for some recycled tinkering.
1. Source an old ice chest
2. Cut holes for some DC fans
3. Wire up the fans to a solar panel.
4. Optionally install a switch for control.
5. Use a glue gun around the holes of the wires.
6. Now simply drop ice into the cooler, or reuse containers with frozen water.

Solar Powered Pond Waterfall

Start with a nice sized pond and add:

- One DC pump (750 gph)
- One 28 amp 24 volt charge controller
- One garden accessory 12 volt battery
- One 135 watt Kyocera 24 volt solar panel (greater than 40 watt substitute)
- A pinch of blood
- Lots of sweat

Bake at 90° for three hours.

Enjoy
