After a week in which we used the original Jimmy Carter solar panels to experiment with solar energy in my physics lab, news arrived that President Carter has gotten himself some new ones.
This made me very happy, and I'm very pleased for Mr. Carter.
Here's the news article to go along with the movie.
I don't have any pictures of us using the original panels for Wednesday's lab. Several students took pictures, though, so perhaps one of you could send some in. In the meantime, here's an older picture of the same experiment.
And here's a link to the one we sent to the Smithsonian.
