Solar milk frother.
Added 2018-09-07 22:27:12 +0000 UTCI filmed a few more videos before returning from Glasgow to the Isle of Man. One was an old milk frother I bought out of a charity/thrift shop many years ago.

Right after I'd made the video I tried to gently remove the solar panel and it shattered.

I tried flexing the plastic gently to see if I could break the bond, but the panel just broke instantly. Shame, I was wanting to see what sort of current it put out. Not high, because it's amorphous silicon, but probably a few milliamps.

2018-09-08 16:09:58 +0000 UTCMaaaan I JUST read the description where the solar panel shattered. Heart broke right along with it. I am so sorry Clive. That was the most interesting part of the thing for me.

2018-09-08 03:52:08 +0000 UTCSince I've started watching your channel Clive, I've not thrown out a single item without stripping it to bits to see how it works and what goodies I can reclaim. I found a very nice flow meter in an espresso machine two weeks ago. Plugged into an Arduino it gives very accurate fluid measurement.
2018-09-08 01:50:00 +0000 UTCSo cool. So late. Solait.

2018-09-07 22:57:29 +0000 UTChow about using it to mix up your chocolate milk
