Today at Zellers they had a Door Crasher sale of rechargable garden lights for $1.00 each. You know the kind, solar cells in the top, a ultrabright led that charges all day and lights up at night to illuminate your walkway or garden. The Beam robotics guys must be thrilled with all these cheap solar cells and dark activated circuits. I replaced the jumbo ultrabright yellow led with a low current and voltage motor, and it ran for about 6 hours non stop after the 1 AA battery was fully charged. Someone should write a article for Nuts and Volts on other uses for these inexpensive units.
Any ideas people on other weird and wonderful uses for them????.
I can imagine tearing the guts out of a small remote controlled boat, or sub, mounting a few of these stripped down, waterproofed units on the hull, and sending them off to sea with my address attached. A high-tech message in the bottle maybe, lets see just where they show up????.
