Alternative campsite power source

[AB]

I would be looking for a higher wattage single rather than running two... and as they are rated differently to Solar Panels I would suggest one about 75 Watts would be oodles for you.



ROFL... absolutely agree, Cobber... on both counts. Wind wouldn't be any good in my old stamping grounds in the NT tho so you are dead right about the environment

Don't you guys hold the world record for the fastest quater mile due to the Freemantle doctor???

Have you got one of those wind turbines yet? Jaycar sell them cheaper in quantity and I'm interested in one so maybe we could 'bulk buy'. Alternatively I found a place in the UK online that sells them for UK150 quid, which is only $240 Oz, which is a mega saving, as long as the freight isn't too much.

If you have one already I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts about it. Ta

cheers

Here's a home made water wheel for you Rossco! Strap this to your roof and make sure you're camping next to a river/creek! Creates 50W continuously and peaks at about 500W.

Hi I'm John I used Solar Panels Cairns, I installed it to the roof of my Prado Car. This one I've used for alternative powers. This if much better to use as alternative power because it exerts high capacity of power because I put a solar stick in the panel to generate more power. I hope you like it.

Thanks John.

The only problem is that I'm about 4,000k's from Cairns. Not to worry. I'll keep looking. Thanks for your input.

Take care out there.
