View source for RDSSPS

Some of the Randomdata people have the idea to start selfsupporting power for Randomdata.
RDSSPS means: RandomData Self Supporting Power System.

=Plan=
The basic steps in the process (for now) are:

* experiment with solar power
** Order some solard cells (done)
** Order a charger (done)
** Get a battery for testing (done, 7ah 12v)
* experiment with wind power
** Get a wind turbine (arrived)
** Build the wind turbine (60%)
** Connect the wind turbine to the battery system
*Create usage systems
**LED Light for the bench (LED's are inhouse)
**Inverter for 220 usage (inverter is inhouse)
*Monitoring
**Hook it up to the space Arduino

After this testing face we probably learned a lot, next step: build a production system

==Solar==
==Wind turbine==
By using the kit of Windstufnow.com (http://www.windstuffnow.com/main/3phase_turbine_kit.htm) we started to play with wind energy.<br>
Currently we are building the turbine, the it looks promising.<br>
