The Eve of Week 6...
Time flies! At least it does when you’re spinning a million plates :)
My focus for this week has been electricity- last weekend I took part in a ‘Build Your Own Solar Charger’ course, and came away with, yep you guessed it- A solar charger that I made myself!
Super satisfying :)
At the start I felt like a bit of a dumb-dumb and wished at least a dozen times that I had paid attention in Science, but luckily the teachers Dan and Ian were really patient, very knowledgeable and more than happy to geek out over the finer details of 12volt electrics!
The course was run by demandenergyequality.org, which is a non-profit company based in London and Bristol whose aim is to empower people with the knowledge and expertise to start harnessing their own renewable energy(or at least make a dent in the wall that stands between you and understanding where the hell to start!).
My brain did hurt at the end, I won’t lie, but I made it, and charging my phone on the thing afterwards was incredibly satisfying! (even if I did have to wait til the next morning!!).
