Wouldn't it be nice to simply<a href="http://www.geocities.com/solarpowerroadshow/Silbury_Batt_Workshop.html"> revive</a> dead alkaline batteries and reuse them? Is this possible? These kids proved it.<br /><br />These smart kids at Vancouver Museum's summer workshops also created model <a href="http://tinyurl.com/flf2f">wind turbines</a> -- there are two under construction at UBC -- and, solar <a href="http://www.geocities.com/ebike_shows/advanced_solar_cars.html">cars</a>, boats and ovens. They optimized their solar ovens with a no-calibration infrared thermometer. They designed <a href="http://www.geocities.com/solar_ovens/ocean_wave_energy.html">wave-energy</a> generators.<br /><br />Ships are built on the North Shore. It amazes people that boats can be made from cement. Some sailboats are called "ferro-cement" boats. These smart kids learned about water-proofing their model 'cement' boats using a moisture meter.<br /><br />You can contact the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/pujga">presenter</a> at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ogfkh">SolarPoweredRoadShow</a> (at) yahoo (dot) com. or phone <a href="http://tinyurl.com/l76zw">SolarPoweRoadshow</a> at 7 3 9 - 7 7 1 7 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. </span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2591/3687/1600/VANCOUVER_MUSEUM_SILBURY_WORKSHOP_PHOTOS_%20014.jpg"><br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33562646-115689723665807121?l=sustainablevancouver.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Solar Powered Road Showhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02606074408566825972noreply@blogger.com1
