Talk:Power peripherals
Hi,
I am a volunteer on the OLPC Support Gang as well as on a project to bring XO's (power, connectivity, teacher training, community organization, etc.) to a school in Adamawa State in Nigeria. If all goes well, we'll be starting teacher training in Mid-October or so. Until then, I intend to spend a significant portion of my time working on power, connectivity, and other various infrastructure issues.
I would love to piggy back on your efforts in the area of power regulation, storage and generation. On our appraisal visit we saw some interesting setups that I can send you pictures of that involved:
- Inverters
- Dry Cell Battaries (arrays of them really)
- Voltage Stabilizers
- Charging stations
These were most effectively constructed by Intel in the capitol city of Abuja, but they are relatively expensive. About $7k(US) plus the power generation (via solar panel and/or gas/diesel generator)
What can I do to get involved?
