It doesn't take much to help contribute to the renewable energy movement at an individual level. Beyond the tried and true methods such as recycling and conservation, even the little people of the world can harness the 174 petawatts emitted by the Sun annually. In this case, all you need is a battery operated clock, some glue, and around five dollars.

Once you have selected a battery operated clock to convert to solar, you need to measure the power requirements of the clock with a multimeter. Most small clocks need only 60-120 milliamps to operate. After determining this figure, you have to order a solar panel that will provide you with the appropriate power. Ebay is an excellent place to find these panels and they should not cost more than five dollars.

With the solar panel in possession, you can connect the wires from the solar panel to the correct battery terminal. Is is then necessary to affix the panel itself to the clock with a glue gun. Apply liberally to ensure that the panel will remain attached to the clock. Positioning the panel near the top of the clock would be wise for catching sunlight without obstruction.

With the panel attached the clock may be unbalanced and unable to stand. If this is so, attach small bits of plastic or wood to the base of the clock to the legs of the clock. This will offset the weight of the panel. Finally, look for a location in your home where you can place the clock in direct sunlight. Now you have a solar clock that will run on the sun as long as it shines!

How do you get someone to let another person spend the night at your house?

You ask them first and if they say no then you list all the reasons why they should. If that doesn't work, tell them that you never have time with them and its just for 1 night. The last thing is to tell them that they are just spending time by themselves.


Is long an adverb?
