Any Eco Warriors Out There?

[Guest MartinP]

I was planning to make my 5 mtr x 7 mtr garage a bit eco with regards to the heating & lighting.

 

I have already made a solar air heating panel, which was a start, but version 2 would have been an improvement.

 

Third stage was to have a 12v fan moving air across a solar powered warm water radiator. to power this I acquired a 500Kg, 24v fork lift battery pack, complete with single phase (16 amp) charging station.

 

Now due to a change in circumstances, (I won't be local to the garage), I need to find a new home for this piece of kit. I can weigh it in but it would be a shame to lose the opportunity to help a fellow lateral thinker.

 

suggestions appreciated.

Use the 500kg weight on a pulley system of sorts to spin the fan. Only thing you'll need to do is raise the battery once per day to set the pulley going.

why did I not think of that.

Is this battery & charger still up for grabs Martin? Have ideas in the pipe-line for my windmill to be converted to provide power via 12/24volt alternator & inverter;price req. would be good & I can then check "toy funds".
