WakaWaka Power is your personal pocket-sized solar power station
This rugged solar charger is powerful enough to charge up a smartphone in two hours, yet small enough to fit in your pocket. DIY solar foundry reaches temperatures of 3800 degrees farenheit
Melting metals with the sun, this DIY project shows just how hot it can get when you concentrate the sun's rays for a task. LEDs in greenhouses deliver same yield as grow lights, using just 25% of the energy
Using LED lighting instead of traditional high pressure sodium lights to grow tomatoes in greenhouses during the winter could cut costs and boost local food production. Indiana was ranked amongst states as 49th on Environment. Let's all join together to make Indiana a better place to live.
