  • delete video and save the world some time. Time wasted: wievs:258 323 runtime 52 sec 258 323 * 52= 13 432 796 seconds 13 423 796 / 60= 223879,9333333333 minutes 223879,9333333333/ 60 = 3731,332222222222 hours 3731,332222222222 / 24 = 155,4721759259259 days (155,4721759259259/365) * 12= 5,111414003044139 months. Fuck you man

    You should preface vids like this with the word Toy.

  • You can more volt from a solar coin. Put a penny on the unit of a stove and put the stove unit on medium heat. When the penny starts to turn black turn off the stove unit. If the penny starts to flake a layer you applied to much heat. I made a 12 volt penny cell by placing 6 pennies in series. With clear tape, tape a single strand of copper wire to on side and to the edge of the penny or pennies and place them in a light source. each penny should give about 2.4 volts dc maximum. have fun!

  • how did you make the pv cells? also, what is that wafer thing called? and how many volts and amps is this thing putting out?

    easymac79 3 years ago

  • LOL. Why is the video sideways?

    dcalimited 3 years ago 4

  • because some ppl think that recording video sigeways will give more view or they think that it is easy for us to flip our monitors sideways lol

  • This is NOT a DIY solar cell!!!

    This is a bunch of broken cells strung together. Commercial places sell these damaged cells for cheap.

    Outlander11 3 years ago 18

  • 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?

    YellowBelt319 3 years ago

  • 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.

    Microman171 3 years ago

  • 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!!!

    YellowBelt319 3 years ago

  • 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.

  • so what was your voltage under load

  • your holding your camera wrong and i cant hear you... wait you were not talking but no matter i can read your mind 2*

    cars2024 3 years ago

  • 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 shitty 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

    only1unicorn 3 years ago 4

  • Why aren't you talking about your contraption in the video? it would help make it more interesting I think.

    fusebox41 3 years ago 2

  • Hmm, no info on how it is made or what it is doing. All I see is one tiny LED being lit by it.

    peachferrari 3 years ago 2

  • It would have been great if you gave mre info about your system.

    Great video.

    Thank you

  • Nice, I would use it to charge a battery or a high capacity capacitor (super cap) to use for something useful. cool

    WildTaiko 3 years ago

  • hahaha 2,3 v and 2,4 mA, thats like 5 mW it'll take quite a while to charge a battery

  • I'm thinking old AOL cd's instead of mylar :)

    bob25552 3 years ago

  • You would get better comments if you changed the title. What you have is a "makeshift solar collector demonstration" not a "DIY solar cell" which tends to suggest you are making them from scratch. Also, if you put DIY in the title you should show how you soldered them together, polarity, where you got them, etc.

  • awesome but i thought solar cell isnt efficent enough? oh well good job anyway

    skytron22 3 years ago

  • skytron, your ignorance is astounding. Now there are 30% efficient cells that get the job done quite well...also you could have a 5% efficient cell with a reflector to multiply the sun's rays and as long as you get a 6x reflector dish they are equivalent

  • Click on the "More Info" link in the "About This Video" section to go to the Instructables for this project. It goes into a lot more detail, including info on how to get the broken solar cell pieces. The end product is actually quite artistic, although I'd probably do a flat design because it looks like his 3d design has lots of cells not receiving light. I hope he does a video/instructables on how he did the 'art that charges'.

  • how you make it?

    alex681219 4 years ago

  • He is just using broken pieces of solar panels. The front in the negative the back is the positive. It is acually quite easy. Go to radio shack and pick up a small solar panel .5VDC 275ma for about 5 bucks. It is fun to try. However that LED that he's powering would take about six of those Radio Shack panels to make the necessary 3VDC.
