Solar panels?

Don't forget!
5. A 15" piece of Sch. 20 PVC with a bevel on one end
6. Any movie starring Richard Gere

Put the hamster in the pipe and put the astroglide on the side with the bevel. Then insert the pipe into a hole drilled into the top of the r/c car body. This will act as an emergency exit for mr. hamster if something would happen to the car.

The Richard Gere movie will give you something to watch in between epoxy coats

but wouldnt the tin foil only ressist some of the heat and some time heat up then and melt it.
Maybe before the solar cells mixture melts and fogs over a little?

The tin foil will reflect the heat in the same way it reflects light, insulating the plastic. Once you take it out of the oven, remove the foil and let the solar mix cool.

I was just at radio shack earlier today and saw a solar panel learning kit. It came with a small solar panel (probably 2" X 3"), an electric motor, a prop to fit on the motor shaft, and an instruction booklet. I did not see a price on it but I'm sure its not that expensive. It was right next to the 7.2V 1500 mA battery packs for $20
