How can we improve • Use measuring instrument for accurate measurements • Add control circuit for re-chargeable energy storage • Larger solar panels for faster re-charge • Metallic Black bottom surface • Holes for ventilation
Why would anyone buy our product? • This project deserves an A++ • Can be used as a generator (hamster exercise wheel) • Substitution for a rotisserie oven
