You MUST have a Bull in the barn too. Not to get in to the birds and bees but when a cow meets a bull...... Your desired reward is not far... You won't get a calf every time.

An easy way to get on the Gamers Unite list is accepting a gift request from a friend and allowing the Gamers Unite application.

"THE LIST" only shows people who allowed the application on faceboo...more

To my knowledge there is no snag bar for chrome. Not a current version anyway.

To remove Snagbar go to add remove programs or in vista/win7 Programs and features and remove "Gamers Unite! Snag Bar...more

i wonder what the minimum amperage is... i get that the voltage needs to be around 5v but what about amperage?

what if you got enough to power a lamp so that you could start the lamp to start using a plug in to power the solar panels then unplug from the wall and let the panels power the lamp forever ???is that possible it would be like amazing green energy
re using the energy

Think again. He needed a 110v 40w lamp to get 5v and probably not even 0.5w.

ninjabob91 5/27/09 9:51 PM
oh i see but maby wit a more evitiant set of pannels and better placement just a neat idea

dmeon (-1) 5/28/09 7:58 AM
The problem is that you need to get more energy out of the lamp than you put in, which will never happen. Much of the energy is for instance lost when it turns into heat.

im thinking about making this but i dad says that it might fry my ipod or my phone. is it true? have you chargered anything with it before?

Oribe Green 8/13/10 1:32 PM
Assembled the charger as per instructions but with cells of somewhat higher voltage. Ended up with 7+ volts but no measurable amps. Added a voltage regulator to reduce volts to 5 V. Still no amps. In bright daylight connected to a MP3 device that lights up, but says unable to charge. My guess is that the amps are insufficient. Why no amps?. Any suggestions?
