I know next to nothing about electronics which is kind of embarrassing
since my dad was an electrical engineer.
He designed missile guidance systems, and I can barely operate a
flashlight. I must have missed out on
that gene. Anyway, if I’m doing any kind
of project that involves electronics I have to have the real dummy’s version of
how to do it. There are some things that
I would like to do or know how to do to help with my survival preparations that
involve electronics. I haven’t done any
of these projects yet, but I have searched the web and bookmarked several sites
that have instructions that I feel like I could follow. And if I can follow them that means that
pretty much anybody can follow them. Besides
simple and clear instructions, my other criteria for choosing these sites is
lots of pictures to illustrate the process, and few or no exotic parts
required. I can’t vouch for the info on
these sites, and I don’t know how long they will be active, but you might want
to take a look at them if you are interested in building any of this stuff.

How to build a solar battery charger. This is one that you would have to do before
TEOTWAWKI because it does involve some parts that are not going to be found in
your garage; but it is a good step-by-step article on how to do this project - http://www.solarjourneyusa.com/installguidesmall.php
