DIY solar panel



This year YCTC students were given the chance to receive both theoretical and practical training on renewable energy. Tomaso Amati and Giorgio Bonamini, both engineers at  “Ingegneria senza frontiere-MI” (Engineers without borders), on behalf of Politecnico di Milano, have held a six-day course on sustainable energy and environmental impact.  Respecting the practice-based teaching style of YCTC (the school’s motto is ‘Learning by doing’) the teachers proposed the realisation of a do-it-yourself solar panel. 
 



After a general introduction supplying information on energy issues and the sustainable use of renewable energy by means of technologies which are suited to and can be reproduced in Zambia, the construction of a solar panel was proposed.


The students were then allowed to gain practical experience on one of the technologies proposed by the teachers with an immediate review of the knowledge they had just learnt.
We would like to thank the teachers, Tomaso Amati and Giorgio Bonamini, “Ingegneria Senza Frontiere –MI” www.isf.polimi.it , Politecnico di Milano and Professor Lidia Diappi for giving us this chance to challenge ourselves and broaden our knowledge.

First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before
writing. I've had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Kudos!

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to
my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell
to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to
tell someone!

I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's
both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently about.

I am very happy I came across this in my search for something concerning this.

Currently it seems like Wordpress is the preferred blogging platform out there right now.
(from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today,
yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers
made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more
useful than ever before.

A neutron walks into a bar and orders a drink and asks
the bartender how much. Ask yourself, "when was the last time I took a walk on the wild side. Wonder why the wax DJ that played before you played the same songs you were going to play, because you're both playing music from a limited choice of records.
