The Wooden Box

We have started to build the wooden box in which we will place the eletronic cirtcuit. It is not finisihed yet, but here are today's results.

Have fun and stay tuned.

The assembling

Hi everyone!

We're back with some news. Today we have successfuly built the eletrical circuit, and it is working flawlessly.

Here are some photos of today's work, enjoy:

The electrical circuit was finally assembled. Along next week, we expect to put this circuit in some sort of box in which we will be able to carry it. Stay tuned.

The Charger and the materials.

We find this as an object of extreme usefullness, as it can provide enough energy for a cell phone charger, or even a small laptop, specially when there is some sort of power shortage in the area you live in.

We expect to learn a lot with this project and event, and we will dedicate all our efforts to complete the power charger successfully.

In the next 3 weeks, we will be building the solar power charger, and will keep you updated, by posting pictures of our progress as we move on.

We have built a scheme of what is going to be our project:





These are the materials we will be using for the charger:

Who are we ?

We are a group of Portuguese students from Leiria, who are currently working in a Project for a school subject known as "Área De Projecto", in which we intend to develop an universal solar power charger.

With this project, we will participate in a European Event called "Let The Sun Shine", in which several groups of students will present their projects, related to solar energy.

Thanks to a electronic company, our project has been financed by this company in 100%, in all materials and tools. The company is called Leiritrónica. http://www.leiritronica.pt/
