Solar Energy Forum I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy.... If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago. ~Sir George Porter

Turtuga Blanklu is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Sunshine in music making!

Hi,

I turn sunrays into Turtuga Blanku music. This is how it is done:

Quote:
The 'Green Machine', the studio in which Turtuga Blanku music is recorded, runs completely on solar power.
How does that work?
Well, you need the sun and a couple of solar panels. Those you place in such a way that they catch the sun for a maximum number of daylight hours. The Green Machine has them on the roof, four pairs in total.



Converted energy is lead to a special meter cupboard and six deep loading batteries. Those are a bit different from your regular car battery. They are 6 Volts, but connected in parallel as to put out 12 Volts DC. A converter further changes this into 110 Volts 60 Hz AC.

Because of the batteries, the Green machine is also operational after the sun has set and the coyotes have started to howl. Hold on..there's no coyotes here..hmmm.. must be Turtuga Blanku himself…

Anyway, now you know why Turtuga Blanku songs are so sunny and make you feel warm inside ;^)
I hope you feel inspired to also use alternative energy in your business or your life in general.

If you use alternative energy in an interesting way as well, please feel free to post it in this thread! As I have said in the ' Introduce Yourself'-section as well: I am interested to learn of other creative usages of renewable energy.

I think that the Croissant Neuf stage at Glastonbury has been powered by renewable technologies for a few years. There's a little bit of info here
