My Digital Camera Batteries
…don’t have it here right now, I’ll update later.
Current Questions:
1. How long will it take to charge the battery in the winter/summer?
2. How much juice can I get from the battery? Will I be able to charge all the other batteries frequently?
3. How do I connect all this shit?
4. Where should I put the panel to maximize it’s charge?
5. How durable/weather/humidity/water proof is this gear?

I do not know how you connect all this shit. I’d like to know the optical density of your camera too. and I’d like to gloat and mention that I have none of these things.
Nice materials. From wence did they originate?
How do I find out the optical density? And do you mean my digital video camcorder, or my digital still camera?
I got this stuff online at that really big online website named after a dying rainforest. The funds came from my deceased grandmother. I owe her, and my Grandfather a very big thank you, seeing as how their life long earnings are paying for my freedom… of mind anyway.
I’m on this… You know it.
Hey Scout,
I found this info on how to build a cheap and easy(?) wind generator from basically found material. Thought you might be interested.
