PERSONAL ELECTRONIC ALTIMETER/BAROMETER INSTRUMENTATION

Casanova's New Suunto Escape203 Presents A Precision Computer-Based Electronic Altimeter, Barometer Personal Instrumentation System For Handheld Function.  Advanced Serious Personal Instrumentation For The Professional Or Intelligent Advanced Consumer.

The Escape203's accuracy and good usability in all conditions makes it an ideal companion for climbers, boaters and outdoor enthusiasts as well as professionals.  The altimeter displays your current altitude, vertical gain or loss from the start of a hike or climb, as well as your vertical ascent and descent speed in ft/h (m/h).  Up to 20 altitude logged points can be stored into the memory for later reviewing. The one-logbook memory stores total vertical ascent/descent for the log, as well as the maximum and minimum altitudes reached during the activity.  The system also stores the accumulated vertical ascent/descent over a longer period of time.  The altitude range extends up to 29 500 ft (9 000 m). The resolution is adjustable by the user to either 3ft (1 m) or 10 ft (5 m).

The barometer functions keeps you informed to patterns and changes; displaying current, absolute and sea level pressures, temperature as well as the barometric trend for the last 6 hours. The Escape203 features also a pressure alarm.  When activated, the alarm will alert the user to pressure changes of 4 mbar/0.10 inHg over a period of 3 hours.  A special feature of the Escape203 is a "locking mechanism" that keeps the altitude from changing when the unit is used for weather monitoring purposes only. Similarly, when the device is used as altimeter, the seal level pressure stays constant and the barometric changes only affect the altitude and absolute pressure reading. The resolution of the barometer is 1 mbar/0.05 inHg.

The barometer memory automatically stores the barometric pressure and temperature history for the last 24 hours, as well as the maximum and minimum values during this time. It also stores the maximum and minimum pressure and temperature values over time, which makes it valuable for estimating the barometric trend.

In addition, the Escape203 has a time mode with normal watch functions such as current time with 12/24 hour format, weekday and date.

The luminous display and user-replaceable battery makes the Escape203 suitable even for harsh conditions. Its operating with three buttons is easy even when wearing gloves. The unit is water resistant and temperature compensated. Neck lanyard comes as standard.

The Escape203 device is light and ergonomically comfortable, weighing appr. 55 g

In 1957, the clinometer and the hand-bearing compass were completed by a hypsometer; an instrument for measuring the height of tress.  The ceremonial donation of the first hypsometer to the King of Sweden, Gustaf VI Adolph, Took Place At The Inauguration Of Sweden's 50th "Forestry Week" Event.

A strong influence, in the design of the hypsometer back then, was the Chief Executive Of The Finnish Forestry Commission, Mr. N.A. Osara.  A whole measurement methodology was created around this device that spread around the world together with the hypsometer.   To a large extent, it was referred to as the Suunto system.

SILVA PACK SOLAR BATTERY CHARGER

Charging 2 AA rechargeable batteries in only 5 hours (and 4AA in 10 hours), this is the fastest AA/AAA solar charger money can buy! Designed for rugged outdoor use, this charger is made from the same super durable yet flexible solar cells used on Eureka!  US military tents! Also at only 4.5 ounces, it is one the lightest weight chargers on the market.

Folded: 3.5 in x 5.75 in

Opened size: 24in x 5-5/8in.

Charging capacity is 100% when perpendicular to full sun, 70% when at a 45 degree angle to full sun, 60-90% in light overcast, and even 20-30% in heavy overcast.

• Charges both AA and AAA NiMH or NiCd batteries

• Durable, flexible and splash proof solar panels

• Super lightweight: 4.5 oz.

• Manufacturers Warranty: 1 Year

• Panel Type: Multi-Junction Amorphous Silicon

In the past and present, the most common type of solar cell was Crystalline Silicon.  There are two primary types; Single-Crystalline Silicon and Poly-Crystalline Silicon.  Single-Crystalline is more efficient but also more expensive to produce.  Both are very fragile, and usually sandwiched between rigid sheets of glass, for protection.

More recent developments in portable solar energy solutions use thin-film technology. There are several types of thin film solar products on the market today.  Currently most retail products found today are claming to use Amorphous Silicone.

A time-tested and very durable product, but not yielding the highest photovoltaic efficiency.  Amorphous panels with less photovoltaic efficiency require more area (square inches) of panel size to achieve the same amount of wattage output, because they don’t make quite as efficient use of the available light hitting them.  One advantage to this structure however, is improved power output in low light conditions.

Multi-Junction devices can potentially achieve a higher total conversion efficiency by capturing a larger portion of the solar spectrum.  The most common multi-junction device is a multi-junction amorphous silicon, which has some of the best performance in all light conditions.  One of the newest and most promising is a new proprietary multi-junction device made of Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide (CIGS) capable of higher photovoltaic efficiency than both standard amorphous silicon and multi-junction amorphous silicon - this means the panel doesn't have to be quite as large to produce the same power output.  The only disadvantage is that the power drops off more in partially sunny conditions.

Conclusion

Look at Size, Weight, Wattage, Portability, Price And Consider the lighting conditions that will be encountered during the time the solar panel will be needed!  Determine whether you will be using the solar cells in mostly sunny, partly sunny, seasonal overcast winter, summer, Fog, Shady Areas, etc..  Amorphous Silicon (especially multi-junction amorphous silicon) is better for anything but 100% sunny clear sunlight access conditions.  A multi-junction solution, like CIGS, can create a more compact solution in full sun.

When we are able to provide the type of solar panel technology used by a manufacturer, we will provide this information.  Some manufacturers Consider This Type of Information A Trade Secrete.
