=== [[Fridge Defrost Timer with Solar Trigger Option]] ===
The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62LHITkTCMs project video] shows a fridge timer which can be set to trigger during high battery voltage sunny days so the defrost cycle never uses valuable battery power. It is switchable to act like a regular defrost timer for long cloudy stretches of time, like winter.

=== [[Solar panel rotator motor power with auto-shut-off]] ===
The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCeiL8_Uw2U project video] shows a way to power solar panel rotator motors from a solar panel, supplemented by a walladapter.

=== [[MPPT Solar and Wind Power Boost Charge Controller]] ===
THIS IS NOT READY. DO NOT TRY THIS. IT IS JUST HERE AS MY BACKUP COPY WHILE I DEVELOP THE IDEA.

The [http://www.youtub...] is a preliminary circuit idea to match a low voltage solar or wind turbine input to a higher voltage battery. An analogue circuit will measure incoming current and voltage inputs to set the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and boost the output voltage up to charge a higher, or equal voltage, battery. Input voltage range: 9v through 60v. Output battery voltages: 9v through 60v. MPPT will work only if the battery is higher than the input source. Otherwise, the circuit will act like a direct connection, source to output.

-=== [[MPPT Solar and Wind Power Boost Charge Controller]] ===
-This is an analogue computer with a digital option. It is an elegant, unique idea for MPPT. I have some documentation videos and circuit inside the link. The circuit works but I never used it much because my wind turbine project stalled. I am back: April 2016.
-=== [[Sun Tracker or Irrigation Timer to drive motors]] ===
-This is using two LEDs to sense the sun and send +- or -+ logic signals
-to a full bridge motor driver. You could also use this circuit
-to turn on an irrigation motor for a very short time every several hours.
-=== [[Wireless remote switch, button press: 1 second=ON, 3 seconds=OFF]] ===
-My solar power has to be manually switched to city power at sunset in my
-basement. I made this wireless upstairs button, instead of running a long 120vac wire to an upstairs switch.

-The [https://vimeo.com/spinningwindmillfredhi project video] shows the completed robot spraying weeds. I proved the prototype works, although it is impracticably slow.

-=== [[Dandelion Flower Weed Wand]] ===
-The [vvv.com/239274466 xxx (no project video yet)] shows the Weed Wand detecting and targeting weeds. Weed Wand is ten times faster and more accurate than manually aiming and pulling a trigger on a pressurized pump sprayer.
-=== [[Li-ion battery discharge limiter]] ===
-I used a car booster battery to pump my car tires and it had no lower limit turn-off and it destroyed the Li-ion battery. I heard the air pump slow and I turned it off too late. This little device will do automatic flow-through and cut-off to protect the battery next time.

-This circuit uses two diodes as heat sensors to switch a circulation pump ON when the water on the roof solar water collector is hotter than the hot water storage tank in the house.
