Small but powerful spot Fresnel lens measuring 163mm x 107mm, this size lens is ideal for experimenting with and seeing what spot fresnel lenses are capable of in bright sunshine,they are excellent solar concentrators and can be used in the construction of solar cookers and ovens which can be made incredibly cheaply,plans for these can be found very easily on the internet,a solar cooker in its most basic form can be a cardboard box,some polystyrene insulation,silver foil to line it and a see through plastic lid or window,left in the sun it will slowly cook food during the day,by using a fresnel lens instead of a clear plastic or glass window sunlight can be concentrated to a spot inside the cooker,preferably the black cooking pot (must be black) which means the food inside it will cook much more efficiently and quicker,this size panel probably wont be much use inside a large solar cooker but is great for experimenting and seeing what a fresnel lens is capable of,it could be used effectively in the construction of a small solar cooker to heat a small cooking receptacle such as a coke can or baked bean tin painted black,they are also great for camping and barbecues as they can be used to light fires very quickly in bright sunshine,just concentrate the sunspot on a piece of crumpled newspaper and it will go to flame in a few seconds, wood can also be burnt although it will take much longer to go to flame with this size fresnel lens,fresnel lenses can also be used with homemade copper pipe solar water heaters or solar air heaters to boost their output and they can also be used with small photovoltaic solar panels to boost their current output though extreme care must be taken if you want to try this as they can cause photovoltaic solar panels to overheat and be destroyed,the specs for these particular industrial fresnel lenses are as follows,Size:163*107mm,Thickness: 2mm ,Material: PMMA,Groove pitch: 0.3mm ,Focal length: 120mm.WARNING : Fresnel lenses can be very dangerous if used incorrectly,they should never be left outside uncovered when unattended and definitely should never be left leaning against a wooden fence or building in the sun,they should be kept indoors covered up or laid flat when not in use so as not to create a potential fire hazard,they can cause erious burns if a sunspot is made on open skin or clothing so care must be taking when using them,basically treat it like a mini blowtorch whenever its sunny.

Low-cost, high output sealed Thermoelectric Peltier element measuring 40mm x 40mm, Peltier elements are thermo-electric heating and cooling devices that feature solid state,reliable temperature control, Popular Uses include cooling elements for mini fridges,dehumidifiers and cooling hot running ICs and Cpus such as those used in Computers,basically when connected to a DC power supply they will pump heat from one side of the element to the other meaning one side will get very hot whilst the other side will get very cold,by adding a heatsink and fan to the hot side (a necessity) to dissipate the heat the cool side will remain very very cold,varying voltages from 5v to 16v can be used,Manufacturers technical specifications are as follows,Max Watts 37,Max Temperature Differential 75 degrees C,Max Amps 3.9,Max Volts 15vdc,Peltier elements can also be used to generate free electricity simply by heating one surface and cooling the other, With a sufficient temperature differential a cell can output up to around 1 Amp at 5V ,more than enough to charge small batteries or drive a small electric motor,these things literally have hundreds of different uses and are great for experimenting with,Please Note,these peltiers are moisture sealed around the edges to prevent any corrosion over time.

Small but powerful 6v to 12v electric fence energiser for powering electric fencing either to keep small animals in or to keep them out, popular uses include protection of chicken runs and bantam enclosures though they are also great for dettering small animals such as cats and dogs from specific areas such as vegetable plots,allotments,garden borders and ponds,when used with a 12v battery these electric fence energisers will produce impulses of approx 1500volts,their current consumption however is incredibly small,typically less than 15 milliamps,with such a low current consumption its possible to run one of these from a small 12v 7ah battery for at least a couple of weeks before it will need recharging,a large car or leisure battery will of course last much much longer,by connecting a small 12v solar panel such as one of the 2watt or 3watt models in our store to the battery its very likely that the battery wont ever need to be recharged by a mains battery charger again,these energisers come complete with fused wiring harness with large battery clips for easy battery connection a mounting clip and full instructions, you just need to add a battery,fence wire,insulators,warning sign and an earth stake,please note these energisers need good insulation so insulators are a necessity,price includes uk vat and delivery
