Oil
Right now, there is a pipe sticking out of the seabed in the Gulf of Mexico, from which oil is billowing. It is a huge environmental disaster, and most certainly a historical event if there ever was one. But there … Continue reading

Fun with Solar Power
I normally charge an 18 AH sealed lead-acid battery to run small things like lights, and to charge my cell phone, radio, etc. Well a couple months ago this battery died. It was old, and sulfation had set in. I … Continue reading
