Win a Waterproof Solar USB Charger! Reply here to enter.
 
http://ecorenovator.org/forum/attach...1&d=1431615618

Forum user BenNelson is working with a friend of his on a Kickstarter campaign for waterproof solar USB charger. This is a high output (8-16W) very rugged solar USB charger made for all environments. Check out the video on their page, they torture this thing and it still works. He has generously offered a free solar charger to one of you guys in return for a little publicity here on the website. We figured you guys wouldn't mind that at all! :)

So, if you're interested in one of these solar chargers, please post below. In two weeks, we'll randomly select one of your names and you'll get your solar charger.

Also, don't forget to check out the kickstarter page. They got a lot of other goodies that come with the panels too.

OK

California98Civic 05-14-2015 11:52 AM

Ok too.

NeilBlanchard 05-14-2015 12:28 PM

Twist my arm! Ouch ... okay, I'll post.

I have been looking for a "real" solar charger - it looks good.

cowmeat 05-14-2015 12:32 PM

I'll take it!

Should look way better on Ron Burgundy than my current ghetto solar set-up!

Fat Charlie 05-14-2015 01:20 PM

Looks like a great system. I'm in.

Honda Insight 05-14-2015 01:23 PM

I'm in :) Thanks a lot guys!

solarguy 05-14-2015 01:52 PM

Is this a trick? Of course I''m in.

jamesqf 05-14-2015 02:10 PM

Except for the link causing my browser to hang... But consider me a potential customer.

Hello Hello Hello!

darcane 05-14-2015 06:16 PM

That looks pretty slick, I'm in.

How much do they plan to sell these for once manufacturing begins?

Insight for life 05-14-2015 07:27 PM

this is awesome! Very well thought out.

deejaaa 05-14-2015 09:42 PM

MetroMPG 05-14-2015 10:10 PM

Can I win? Please? I probably can't. I'm still posting this.

RedDevil 05-15-2015 05:03 AM

I'd put that behind my Lexan UGB and park towards the sun :)
(subbed and contending ;))

May need one of these: http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Solar-Charger...-/230952649860

leanAztek 05-15-2015 08:02 AM

Cool idea. Never thought you could charge underwater. Thanks for the opportunity!

WD40 05-15-2015 11:36 AM

count me in .. I never win

robots4joey 05-15-2015 12:12 PM

Really well thought out product. I'd love to give it a try!

nemo 05-15-2015 06:49 PM

Interesting.

bennelson 05-17-2015 12:17 PM

Hey Everybody, thanks for your support!

I know that so many of you are really into Solar Power and other renewable energy, and we wanted to see about getting a little something out to you guys.

My friend, Josh, and I have been doing a lot of work creating a neat solar energy product. When we aren't doing that, we are at a lot of teaching conferences, renewable energy fairs, and educational events, promoting renewable energy and getting kids to learn all about it.

Any profits from the projects all go right back into getting info and inspiration out there!

What would really help us is if you can help spread the Solar Panel Kickstarter Campaign on your social networks! If you can share the link https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...-solar-charger

On Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and whatever else you are on, we would love it. Like, Share, Friend, Tweet, just help get the word out there. (It may also help you win the solar panel.... hint hint....)

We are real people, in the real world, trying both to do good and squeak by a living as well.

For your entertainment, here's some solar panel testing we did with a bowling ball.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ElBYG91fuw

We also did a little experimenting on solar panels with shotguns....

Enjoy, and please help spread the word.

Also, for those who were wondering what prices would be AFTER the Kickstarter campaign. They are most likely to be about what the pledge levels are for the "NON-Early Bird" products.

However, the more orders we can get through in Kickstarter will allow us to manufacture more at once, and hopefully give us a price break. Theoretically, the more people who help support the Kickstarter, the lower we can keep prices later.

If you CAN pledge in the Kickstarter campaign, please do.

Thanks again.

MetroMPG 05-17-2015 01:01 PM

Also: we're running the same contest on EcoRenovator, so if you want 2 chances to win, head over there as well and pipe up.

I'd say the odds are already excellent. Twice as excellent if you're in to win on both sites.

Wow. looks good, that!

deejaaa 05-17-2015 08:28 PM

i don't think it was the shooting but the way it was thrown. good thing no one was planning on eating them for dinner or the zombies were attacking.

JeffD 05-17-2015 11:59 PM

I don't think Josh's shirt is that bad.

bennelson 05-21-2015 09:34 AM

I was out and about yesterday and needed to charge my phone. Ironically, I couldn't charge my phone from my (newish) electric motorcycle.

Fortunately, I had my solar panel with, and it worked great, even with as cloudy of a day as it was! (Somebody else needed a charge, so I charged her phone too!)

Once again, if you can please help get the word out on this USB solar charger we would really appreciate it.
Please share! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...-solar-charger

Vman455 05-22-2015 06:06 PM

Birdshot? I want to see how it handles buck.

Eh, what the hell--I'm in.

bennelson 05-22-2015 09:14 PM

Did I mention the panel is waterproof?

Heck, you could go ice fishing with it. Look what I caught!

Xist 05-22-2015 10:12 PM

Does this count?

chumly 05-23-2015 12:29 AM

I guess I'm in.

bennelson 05-23-2015 08:46 AM

Somebody on Kickstarter backed the "Buy Josh a Shirt" pledge.
We also promised to burn one of Josh's old plaid shirts, but I couldn't justify using fossil fuels to do it. So, we used the Solar Death Ray to light up the plaid instead.

Excellent :D I was hoping someone would pledge for that!
