1. Build Your Own $20 Outdoor Cob Oven for Great Bread and Pizza
“I must admit, I’m a bit of a breadhead. Few things are as exciting to me as freshly baked bread with a dab of butter, or hot and greasy scallion pancakes, or fluffy and airy naan, or a pizza fresh from the hearth of a wood-fired oven. (That last one trumps all the others.) I thrive on bread. I love eating it, and of course I love making and baking it, too.
Earlier in the year, the idea of baking in the outdoors in a wood fired oven became something of a romanticized (in every positive sense of the word) notion to me. It was soon obvious that I should build a cob oven, which would be fairly easy and quick to build, and quite cheap, too.”

2. How To Make A Solar USB Charger
“Here are some rules you have to abide when making such a device:
1. Connecting 2 solar panels in series will double the volts.
2. Connecting 2 solar panels parallel will double the mAh.
3. If you want to charge a battery you need 150% of the voltage of the battery (f.g. charging 1 AA battery with 1,2 Volts takes 1,8 Volts to recharge)
4. If you want to charge a battery you need 10% of the mAh of the battery (f.g. charging 1 AA battery with 1900 mAh needs 190 mAH to charge)”

These two videos show “how compost power works” and how systems are built using either the modified Jean Pain method, or the Agrilab Technologies Isobar method for larger scale systems. Below the videos is a step by Design Guide for Jean Pain style systems.
