Solar

We hunted in Md from pits dug into the ground for geese. Being only 30 ft or less ablove sea level with rain etc we alway had to pump water out of our pits. I had an electric bilge pump so I took a battery the pump and a couple of lengths of hose out to one pit. Then I used a solar panel to charge the battery. Worked so well we put one in every pit. Got the battery charging panels from the great Chinese entreprenuer...Harbor Freight.

Also made some solar room heaters for one house back east. Free heat every(sunny) day! Easy and cheap to make too.
