Short movie “A marriage with the power of solar energy”

New Energy TV

About a week before we got married, now three months ago, Roelf van Til of New Energy TV () dropped by to record an interview. Because of my interest in sustainability, particularly solar power, he made a fun little movie of that interview which came online today. You can view it here () at the New Energy TV website. I have no way to completely translate the movie, but in short I describe how my solar adventure started with very small solar panels for charging batteries, how it grew into a battery-based system powerful enough to run a laptop and some lights and finally into the gridconnected system we have today.

Roelf, thanks a million for your trouble!

Ecomobiel 2010 fair

Ecomobiel

On Tuesday, September 21st and Wednesday, September 22nd, the Ecomobiel 2010 () fair will be held in Rotterdam, in their own words ‘a professional fair for green mobility’. When I surf their website it seems the fair is very focused on the motor car in all its so-called green incarnations, but here and there I see some more sustainable gems.

I’ll go on Tueday, September 21st, and I applied for three workshops:

  1. The New Motion ()
  2. E-busZ / E-traction ()
  3. Qwic ()

I’m curious how it will be, and I will certainly write an article about what I saw on the fair!
