Fully operational educational trailer(almost!) just need a 12v charge controller for the wind genny! er! Ivan or Steve?! and to connect the dump load from the tristar to the 1" bsp 12v 300 w immersion.
Check out the pics, there pretty self explanatory.




View the rest of the pics via these links below. Closeups etc.
Feel free to contact me for more info on booking the trailer or where our next show is.

Cheers

Using a solar kettle I boiled water (it took two days in a demonstration tube) on the roof at the beginning of March. I was suitably impressed -but my tea drinking colleagues all died of thirst.

However, the silver lining is that a group of my students have taken 'the Tube' and gone off to do lots of experiments with it. In fact we're designing a sort of 'eco hut' incorporating alternative energy sources in action on the back of it. In fact it will look a lot like the Navitron Mobile Demo trailer above.
Any suggestions to help this project along?

Cheers
Michael

We have been looking to construct something similar for demonstrations, we were put off by the initial up front costs.  Your display trailer looks brilliant, perhaps we can speak further?

Nice idea. I am finding the image hosting truely awfull - slow, won't enlarge, etc. gave up.
Do you have sample tubes and panels inside for closer inspection?
