Solar Powered Clock

Hi,

As this is my 1st instructable and I am still a 7th grader so there may be a lot of mistakes in this instructable and so please do not hesitate to correct me.

This is a solar powered 1.5 Volt clock and it requires minimum components.

Materials

This clock requires

@ A 1.5 v clock

@ A 220 k resistor

@ A 9 v solar panel

@ A multimeter (you can also use an ammeter and a voltmeter)

Solar Panel Setup

Keep the panel in a place where it gives out 2.5 v. I couldn't measure the current because the ammeter function in my multimeter is not working. Can anyone test it and give it to me in the comments below?

Connections

Connect the resistor as shown but do not solder because you may have to remove the resistor in night time , connect the wires directly and keep the panel in a place where there is a bit of light. Sorry for this drawback. But if a light is on in the house you do not need to do this work. What needs to happen is output of 2.5 volts from the panel.

I hope someone can help me develop it more.

My 1.5 Volt clock can be operational from 0.9 Volts to 2.0 Volts.

And Its Done

You can now use this clock for a long time without the hassle of changing batteries.

Thank you
