Finally : cheap DIY selfmade solar cell with common materials !

Hrmmm...

Either I'm a bad thread edition or ... There is a huge lack of interest in solar...

I thought someone might have tested the effects of piezoelectric in the sun to see if there were small gains it really has me wondering if I couldn't make a cell out of melted rochell salt... well obviously you will need dye and such to catch the light but it may be doable either as the substrate in place of silicone or as an additive.

There must be a lack of interest from day one. How can it be, that we get as far as we have with technology, and most scientists an especially the world leaders, have completely ignored that big ball of energy all these years ?

[Bulbz]

They have also ignored something else too. That big ball of rock that we call the moon. Surely the effects of that thing circling our planet could be harnessed somehow !

Just making a info book mark or link. Might be of some help to someone at some point in time.

Doug thank you much for jumping in and contributing something to the thread.

Bulbz always a pleasure man I look forward to your posts they are always positively charged

I will have to do some digging and testing I wanna buy a heat gun and such. I have about 6 soldering irons and such for other projects I need a good heat gun or hot air station for SMT would even be better but either way there is a lot untested and simply not tried in life ...

And the efficiency could definitely be better on conversion ... We all know it can be improved.

Finally we all know that we can make these cells for pennies on the dollar somehow if we all worked to this in a group imagine what could come out of it... Home solar panels capable of professional production results...

Very possible but I feel people are scared and it does not take much at all scrap stuff and a little common chemicals...

Why do we not look at this I know the pie in the sky is fun to chase but really why don't we use known methods to produce results we all look for ? Near free energy...

Where is everyone on this all the experts of energy ... The admin took his time out to create this great post and share this great knowledge with us and we simply choose to ignore it because it doesn't have a coil or a magnet and we all already know it works...

Well I say hook your coils and magnets up to the sun ... Do all the testing you need with free power already available...

Anyhow enough ranting.
