Sheet no.8 in the Free Range 'Energy Beyond Oil' Project's 'Great Outdoors' series of handout looks at Light and Power – Using micro-power systems outdoors.

There are a lot of good things about technology: being able to make light at the flick of a switch is one; getting information and entertainment over the radio is another. This unit looks at how we can generate, store and use electricity outdoors using very small-scale micro-power systems.
