FSEC Home Based Projects
Projects, Projects, Projects is one thing that came through on the FSEC survey. While this is not everyones thing, there is a lot of interest in building cool things. While the Lederman Science Center Sustainable Energy Exhibit is a big project for us, we probably can't all effectively converge on this one project at once. Another strong area of interest is in home solar, wind, Ebike or other energy related projects. One goal we might consider for this type of project is to optimize the designs for ease of construction and low cost and present it to the larger sustainable community As Norm would say, "we provide measured drawings", bills of material and complete directions and construction videos on our website for the other do it yourselfers out there. There are a lot of DIY documents out there now of varying quality. We could compete with the best. Please start threads for project ideas.

One design we could work on for starters might be a simple solar tracker. This would be applicable for both the Lederman Center project as well as home solar projects. There are a lot of tracker designs out there that we could evaluate and no doubt improve on.
