Portable Solar Fan

I'm considering today's Thing Fling, which is a portable car ventilation fan that is solar powered. I would like to know whether this actually works - does it actually exhaust hot air effectively?

They seem to work, as long as there is adequate solar energy to keep the thing running.

I'm not really sure if they're more effective than just leaving the car's windows open a bit.

There is a project that several groups at GVSU have been trying to perfect for a couple of semesters now involving a fan that operates on hanging weights. It is difficult to describe in words, but basically a gear reduction slows down the speed...

If I'm living in my car down south and I need constant power for a fan, fridge, tv, recharging things, etc... what do I need and how much does it cost? Do those solar power panels work? Can you place them on the roof lying under the blazing sun?...

to power those kind of appliences that draw that kind of power you need a kickass power inverter, i would say 4000watts or more and they are not cheap and you will need alot af battery power to keep them going
you can also use a gas...

If you need 110AC to run a fan you can use a 12 volt battery and an inverter, {buy them at Radioshack}, of the appropriate wattage.

So im starting to get very interested in using alternative power. And before i get to over board, i'd like to try something on a small scale.

My idea/goal is to be able to power a lamp. But what i'm thinking is, to be able to make...

You do not want to use 110 volt bulb as a converter would be needed and a conventional bulb is 90% wast through heat dissipation.Most alternate power sources are 12 volt which is what you want. So either a 12 volt flu recent or LED will do the job...

One thing I dont understand is there are a gazillion ways to produce heat yet heat is still very expensive. Heat can be produced from solar, electricity, fire, oil, gas, geothermal, friction, movement, crystal, radiation, bacteria, pressure, and even

I would recommend you use SOLAR POWER!Once you got them installed to produce electricity,You will not have to pay for the electricity bill
