DIY Solar powered water feature

[pansnymph]

where did you get the pump and solar panel from? what company? looks nice

[supergokue1]

@pansnymph This one came from harbor freight. I ended up using another motor after the shaft broke on this one. If you want to see the other motor I used, check out the solar fountain update video. It was much easier to work with. Thanks for the question, Lonny

I like! Where you put the solar panel?

[supergokue1]

@orrsonswiss I built a small stand for it and put it off to the side. It is in my solar fountain update video. thanks for the question, Lonny

@supergokue1 I could not find the video in your archive could you tell me what the name of the video or where to locate this video? Thanks, Great idea =}

Such a good idea using the oil pan collector!

is that solar set up good enough to power a small fan?

[supergokue1]

@kary1982v6 I think it might, but it would have to be real small. It might be easier to take the pump apart and put a small blade on that motor. That would give you a small fan. Thank you

Very nice feature :-))

Maybe that soldering the connections gives a tiny bit more power to the pump?

[supergokue1]

@insAneTunA Good question, I am not sure on that one. I will do my best to find out.

[supergokue1]

@insAneTunA I did find out that soldering the connections would give a little bit more power. Thank you for the suggestion.
