Make Solar Cell Transistor Powered Calculator using 2n3055

I made a solar panel out of solar cells made from 2N3055 power transistors. It produces around 1.5 volts and 4 milliamps, depending on the amount of sunlight or indoor light of course. The transistors were connected in series with bases connected to collectors. The emitters were not connected since my tests showed what I was doing would give the most power output. Also watch my video “How to Make Solar Cells using Transistors (2N3055)“ showing how to open these transistors and the testing I did, including with a fresnel lens: Also watch “How to make solar cells (DIY/homemade solar cell)“ where I make a solar cell from a copper sheet and salt water: See also my webpage about all this: Follow me on Twitter: #!/RimStarz
