Old school solar

Circa 2003: Here's one of the proud moments in the beginning of sustainable energy teaching at Unity College, a solar power generator that students made partly under my tutelage. Former UC Student Government Association President Jason Reynolds was the key designer, if I remember right.

Students went on to use it for a so-called "Solar Power Dance Party."

Sounds hi-falutin', but all they really did was to hook up a boombox and have some fun outside a building one day to promote solar power on campus!

Thanks to Dr. Potter for sending it in.
