Logo for Core Europe

Hi all,
I love this idea for a logo - If everyone sends me a picture of the energy site they will be visiting I will try and create something similar.


That is if you like it?????

Toolbox 3

The system of collect and measure the solar energy is ready. We put a panel on the wall of the  lab inside the school and in the next two photo we are showing what we can do. The energy from the solar panel (on the top with an angle of 17°1) comes from top right of the panel, nothing is coming from the wind (top left of the panel) because  the "airplane" is still brocken. The system seems run without problems.

Photo N.1 -  Charging the Battery (left side of the Panel)
You can see from the top: a) the solar Regulator; b) the Inverter and c) the Battery





Photo N.2 -  Measuring Energy (right side of the Panel)
You can see from the top: a) measure of Volt; b) measure of ampère c) lamps (6W - 12V each)

Accident on the way

Hi,
We left the Totem on the roof for some days to check tha stability of it. Unfortunately Sunday a little wind made some bad effects on the system.We'll adjust it soos (I hope). No problem for solar panel.

Schedule for the measures

Hi folks,

here we are again, Emilie and me from France. So, we would like to know whereabouts you are concerning the measuring. We have ordered a second datalogger to have one for the wind turbine and another one for the solar panel. We imagine to start the logging in April. Capucine is trying to understand how to store data etc. If anybody of you has some good hints to give, just go ahead. Thanx!

That's it for now, ciao a tutti, Matthias and Emilie
