Solar Power Laptop

Hi there,
I'm trying to get a very basic understanding of solar power.

Can you tell me:
How many watts is required to run a laptop off power
And how many, roughly, to charge the laptop battery
how many...

sounds like you need to use ohms law wats =amps x volts or volts = amps X resistance if you are still having trouble you can always call the manufacture and ask

100% eco-friendly, zero-emissions computing! This is a tour of the solar power system I engineered for charging and powering my Apple MacBook ...

I want to build a solar panel with a bunch of solar cells that I have and all together produce 18v and 1.25amps. My battery is 18v and 3.2 amps. So am I correct by assuming that it will take roughly 3 times longer than normal to charge my laptop...

You will need a higher voltage than the battery to recharge it.

As the applied voltage increases current will begine to flow into the battery in the reverse direction from when it discharges. The amount of current used during...

how would you describe the process involve in generating the electricity?

what if the laptop absorbs solar from its cover.the cover acts like the solar panel or something...

Since laptops are generally used indoors, it would be hard to say how exactly it would work.

There would be a solar power panel, made of silicon strips that would react with photons in the exchange of electrons. The atoms would...

i have a acer aspire 3680 and i would like to know how many watts it uses cuz i want a solar hookup for it

It should tell you on the bottom what the wattage, voltage, and amperage needs are.

If you have used solar cells to charge your laptop batteries or other batteries what did you use as the solar cell array?

Did you need any sort of diodes, resistors, capacitors or other things that I haven't thought of to...

I have run accross another solution a solar powered backpack to keep your lap charged. http://www.voltaicsystems.com/
