As a parent who has had children beheaded by Muslim terrorists, it was hard not to be hateful until I took an objective look at some numbers. With two billion Muslims in the world if even half of them were violent this world would be long gone. The next thing that struck me it’s that murder rates in Christian countries are unknown in Muslim countries. Google about it and also Google percentile of Muslim terrorists vs. Christian terrorists.

James 1:27 King James Version (KJV)

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
– People and organizations do not like that simple verse. They cannot twist or complicate it. Or manipulate people into thinking They need help to understand it.

48÷.70711=67.88

Diagonal of 48 inch square is almost 68 inches

Example 20 feet long divided by 10 equals 2 feet wide divided by 10 equals 2 inches thick

Coating the Glass Plates
Obtain 2 equal-sized glass plates. Plates of the size used as covers for microscope slides would be ideal.

Clean both surfaces of the plates with alcohol. Once the plates are cleaned, handle them only by the edges.

Test the plate faces for conductivity. Do this by touching the surfaces with the leads from a multimeter. Once you have established which side of each plate is the conductive side, place them side by side, one plate conductive side up and the other conductive side down.

Apply transparent tape to the plates. This will hold the plates in place for the next step.
Place the tape along either of the long side of the plates to overlap 1 millimeter (1/25 inch) of the edges.
Place tape over the outer 4 to 5 millimeters (1/5 inch) of the conductive side up plate.

Apply a solution of titanium dioxide to the plates. Put 2 drops on the conductive side up plate, then spread it evenly over the plate surface. Allow the titanium dioxide to cover the conductive-side-down plate.
Before applying the titanium dioxide solution, you may first want to coat the plates with tin oxide.

Remove the tape and separate the plates. Now you’ll treat the 2 plates differently.
Place the conductive-side-up plate on an electric hot plate overnight to bake the titanium dioxide onto the plate.
Clean the titanium dioxide off the conductive-side-down plate and place it where it won’t collect dirt.

Prepare a shallow dish filled with dye. The dye can be made from raspberry, blackberry or pomegranate juice or by brewing a tea from red hibiscus petals.

Soak the titanium-dioxide-coated plate, coated side down, in the dye for 10 minutes.

Clean the other plate with alcohol. Do this while the titanium dioxide-coated plate is soaking.

Retest the cleaned plate to find its conductive side. Mark the side that doesn’t conduct with a plus sign (+).

Apply a thin carbon coating to the conductive side of the cleaned plate. You can do this by going over the conductive side with a pencil or by applying a graphite lubricant. Cover the entire surface.

Take the titanium-dioxide-coated plate out of the dye. Rinse it twice, first with de-ionized water and then with alcohol. Blot dry after rinsing with a clean tissue.

Part
2
Assembling the Solar Cell

Place the carbon-coated plate onto the titanium-dioxide plate so the coatings touch. The plates should be slightly offset, about 5 millimeters (1/5 inch). Use binder clips on the long edges to hold them in place.

Apply 2 drops of an iodide solution to the exposed coating. Let the solution soak through the plate coatings so they’re covered completely. You may want to open the binder clips and gently lift 1 of the plates up to allow the solution to spread over the entire surface.
The iodide solution will enable electrons to flow from the titanium-dioxide-coated plate to the carbon-coated plate when the cell is exposed to a light source. Such a solution is called an electrolyte.

Wipe excess solution off the exposed portions of the plates.

Part
3
Activating and Testing the Solar Cell

Attach an alligator clip to the exposed coated sections on either side of the solar cell.

Connect the black wire of the multimeter to the clip connected to the exposed titanium dioxide coating. This plate is the solar cell’s negative electrode, or cathode.

Connect the red wire of the multimeter to the clip connected to the exposed carbon coating. This plate is the solar cell’s positive electrode, or anode. (In a previous step, you marked it with a plus sign on its non-conductive side.)

Place the solar cell next to a light source, with the negative electrode facing the source. In a school classroom, this can be done by laying the cell on top of the lens of an overhead projector. In a home setting, another light source, such as a spotlight or the sun itself, can be substituted.

Measure the current and voltage generated by the solar cell with the multimeter. Do this both before and after the cell is exposed to light.

***
You can also make a solar cell by using 2 small sheets of brushed copper and setting 1 of them on the hot plate for half an hour until the copper turns black. Let it cool and remove the black cupric oxide coating, but leave the red cuprous oxide coating beneath it to serve as your semiconductor. You won’t need to coat the copper sheet with anything, and you’ll use a salt water solution as your electrolyte.

Warnings
Neither the coated glass plate nor the copper sheet semiconductor solar cells produce a large amount of power by themselves. Silicon is used in semiconductors because it is more efficient than either of the materials used in this article; however, individual silicon solar cells are assembled into solar panels.
Things You’ll Need
Glass plates (such as microscope slide covers)
Alcohol (ethanol recommended)
De-ionized water
Voltmeter/multimeter
Transparent tape
Petri dish or other shallow dish
Electric hot plate (1100 watts, if possible)
Titanium dioxide solution
Tin oxide solution (optional)
Carbon graphite pencil or lubricant stick
Iodide solution
Binder clips
Alligator clips

Solar PV, or photovoltaic, panels convert the power of the sun’s light into electricity. They are made up of many individual solar cells, wired together to increase their power. Solar cells that are made for commercial production are fashioned out of specially prepared silicon wafers and glass. This process is too difficult and expensive for the amateur to replicate at home. However, you can build a different, simpler, though less-efficient one at home out of other materials.

Things You’ll Need
2 small flexible copper sheets
Fine grit sandpaper
Electric stove
2 liter plastic soda bottle
Knife
1 liter measuring cup
Salt
Spoon
Multimeter with alligator clip leads

Wash your hands to remove any dirt and grease. Scrub two small copper sheets with sandpaper to remove the thin layer of oxides that coat any metal that is in contact with air.

Put one of the copper sheets onto the burner of the electric stove. Turn the burner to its highest setting and let it heat up. It will first turn orange, red and purple, and then finally black. The black substance is cupric oxide. Heat the sheet for 30 minutes after it has turned black in order to thicken the coating of cupric oxide.

Turn off the burner and let the copper sheet cool to room temperature. As it cools it will shed much of the cupric oxide that had formed. Once it is cool, scrub it gently under running water to remove the rest of the cupric oxide. It is better to leave some black spots than scrub too hard. The sheet should now have a reddish color, which is cuprous oxide. It reacts to sunlight much as the silicon of the commercial cells does.

Cut a plastic bottle in half with a knife. Gently bend both of the copper sheets so that they can fit into the bottle. Put them in the bottle in such a way that they do not touch each other.

Pour about 1 liter of hot water into a measuring cup. Slowly pour salt into the water, mixing as you pour. Once the salt stops dissolving, the water is completely saturated. Pour this salt solution into the bottle with the copper sheets. Leave about an inch of the sheets protruding above the water.

Set a multimeter to read DC current at its lowest level. Clip the positive terminal lead of the multimeter to the top of the clean copper sheet. Clip the negative terminal lead to the other sheet. Place the cell in direct sunlight. The multimeter should show that your cell is generating as much as 50 microamps of current. Switch the multimeter to read DC voltage, and you should see approximately ¼ volt.
