I am a volunteer teacher in a rural village in Nepal. No electricity.
Solar is used a fair bit to charge 12V car batteries for lighting.
Works well. But it is cloudy a lot of the time... and we would like
to run a laptop in the school.. a good sunny day gives us about 2-3
hours on the laptop.
I have this idea that i could hook up a car generator to a water
source and charge a car battery that way... 24 hours a day if
necessary. Someone must have been down this track before.. any
comments, ideas, pitfalls, plans etc would be welcome. I am not an
auto electrician but can put two wires together... as can everyone in
Nepal!
Thanks
Charlie
