Q&A: HOW TO PUMP OUT WATER FROM 600 FEET DEEP BORING BY WIND TURBINE IN WASTELAND DESERT CONDITION?

Question by arun_k_naik:
How to pump out water from 600 feet deep boring by wind turbine in wasteland desert condition?
I am working on a desert wasteland reclamation project and need a technology to use windpower to pump fresh (read brackish) water from very deep boring. There is no electricity and the community involved is too poor to pay for any costly technology. But there are good mechanics who can make a suitable wind turbine pump if someone provides drawings/details.

One possible solution is Rotary Borehole Pump. But we do not know how to make it. Can someone help, please?

Q&A: CAN YOU USE A CAR BATTERY FOR IN A SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM OR DO YOU NEED A DEEP CYCLE BATTERY?

admin — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:35:49 +0000

Question by marroonlatte:
Can you use a automobile battery for in a solar panel system or do you need a Deep Cycle Battery?
Hi all, I am wondering if you need a deep cycle battery when charging (and using) in a solar panel system. I only am using no more than 20 watts at 12 volts. My plan is to take the solar panel, connect the cords to a charge controller which will light a couple of lights, then attach the battery to the charge controller and power the lights during the night.
So would a regular 12 V automobile battery work for holding this charge or would it not work?
Thanks for the answers

Answer by Alex
You shouldn’t, Deep cycles are used for things that need more power and longer life (forklifts, battery car)

Answer by cronos51101
The only difference between a normal automobile battery and a deep cycle battery, is that deep cycle batteries are tougher. They hold up superior when put through a “deep cycle”, that is, when you discharge them to around 20% and fully recharge them. A normal automobile battery will not hold up to this kind of abuse for long, however, if you are not seriously discharging it, then yes your automobile battery will work.

Answer by BD-Batteries.com
If you want your batteries to work for more than a few weeks, there is a huge difference. If you are just doing this for a test, with donated batteries, or something temporary, a regular SLI battery (like the one in your car) will work for a few days to a few weeks. A deep cycle battery would last for a period of years.

WHY?
SLI Batteries are for Starting Lighting and Ignition. These lead acid batteries are designed to give their power in 20 seconds to begin the car which is a very high amp load in a short period of time. To do this the plates inside are very thin, to maximize surface area, increasing chemical reaction speed and amperage output. When you deep discharge them, they break down REALLY fast.

Deep Cycle Batteries on the other hand are designed with really thick lead plates in them. The thicker lead plates in the deep cycle battery are then able to discharge for longer periods of time (albeit at lower amperage) for many years without breaking down under these harsh operating conditions.

To ease your journey through sizing, I included a link to a couple sizing calculators.

Q&A: WHAT SIZE SOLAR PANEL NEEDED TO RECHARGE A 12 VOLT DEEP CYCLE BATTERY? PLEASE HELP?

admin — Sun, 29 May 2011 19:35:30 +0000

Question by demongelding1@hotmail.com:
What size solar panel needed to recharge a 12 volt deep cycle battery? PLEASE HELP?
Hello everyone. We are working on a solar charging system for a deep cycle battery, used to power a stock tank heater for our horse. I need to know how many watt solar panel I need to recharge this battery during daylight hours. We live in the Upper Peninsula of MI, also known as the tundra. We get temps -40 below regularly. So this info would be helpful. Thanks so much!!

Answer by roderick_young
The ideal place to ask this kind of question is the NAWS forum. There are true experts there, who enjoy helping with this sort of thing. You will need to tell them the amp-hours of your battery. They are at http://www.wind-sun.com/ForumVB/index.php .

Check with others in your area to see what is customary. It might be that a single battery is not enough to keep the tank from freezing over.

Also, the panel will work great at -40F, as long as you can keep snow and ice from blocking the sun on it. Sometimes the natural tilt of the panel is enough.

A lead acid battery, however, will not work at that kind of temperature. Presumably, you would have the battery in an insulated box that doesn’t get so cold.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHARGE A 12V DEEP CYCLE BATTERY WITH A 10 WATT SOLAR PANEL?

admin — Fri, 20 May 2011 18:39:16 +0000

Question by kenichols14:
How long does it take to charge a 12v deep cycle battery with a 10 watt solar panel?
I want to also know if the 10 watt rating on the solar panel is 10 watts per day or is it constantly adding 10 watts? Is there a time which the 10 watts is being added like 10 watts per second or 10 watts per minute and so on?

Answer by JOHNNIE B
Normal power is measured in kilo watts per hour. It sounds like 10 watts would be very small to do anything.

Answer by Annon
Watts is a measure of energy per second. IE joules per second. 10 watts = 10 joules/second

Car battery capacities will be measured in mAH (milli-Amp hours)
capacities vary greatly even though they will still take a fair while to get charged by such a little power charger.

Answer by jleblanc42
It will put out 10 watts in full sunlight at noon, less at other times of the day. That means 0.83 amps, so just divide the battery capacity (in amp-hours) by 0.8 and you will get an approximate charging time under full sun.

WHAT DO I NEED TO USE A SOLAR PANEL TO CHARGE A DEEP CYCLE BATTERY?

admin — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 17:42:46 +0000

Question by eyerotten:
What do I need to use a solar panel to charge a deep cycle battery?
I am looking at buying a 45 watt solar panel and a deep cycle 12 volt battery. I will be using the battery to run D/C lights, so I do not need a A/C power inverter. Do I need to get anything special to hook up between the solar panel to the battery to charge it, or do I just run the wires from the solar panel to the battery?
Thanks

Answer by O N
you should get a charge controller also, it will keep the panel from overcharging the battery
