BWB is partnering with the solar saucer, a mobile solar powered sound and light system.  $500  will help with costs associated in bringing the spaceship to youth programs and schools.

Check out this video of the kids reaction!

The solar saucer is an interactive mobile solar powered sound/art installation. The Saucer is build entirely from found objects. Built on the frame of an old boat trailer, the solar saucer is the poster child for Reduce,Recycle, Reuse and Restore.

Fully mobile, it powers it own sound and light system and can provide clean sustainable power all night, anywhere a generator would be called for.

The Solar Saucer has been coast to coast teaching thousands about the reality of alternative energy.

The Saucer has been used to power sound and lighting for DJ and live Bands, Projection for film, theater and  live performances. It has been used as a charging station to charge batteries for electric cars and bikes, cell phones, laptops and most of all to provide a great vibe anywhere you would traditionally “plug in”.

The crashed landed flying saucer provides an excellent platform for discussion and interactive performance and makes learning fun for participants of all ages. 

Experts and professionals alike have used the Solar Saucer to train their installation teams on the proper deployment of alternative energy.

The Solar Saucer is an excellent tool to demonstrate how alternative energy works to elementary, Jr High and High School kids.

We are taking the saucer to Wasatch Elementary and doing a demonstration on art and solar technology.

When the kids climb inside the installation and see the solar panels, the batteries and the inverter, alternative energy takes on a “real” face.

We then go to South Jordan Elementary for their upcoming science fair where we will discuss the concepts of Reduce, Reuse, Restore and Recycle through the story of the alien space ship encounter.

The solar saucer cosmonauts are a team of 5 who travel and set up the saucer. We work primarily pro bono and for the love of the project. We do our best to keep our expenses to a minimum.  With the rising costs of Gas, we converted our truck to run on  natural gas to keep costs down and to help reduce our dependency on foreign oil. We use low watt, high efficiency LED technology for all of our lighting. All of our sound equipment is used or refurbished. Our biggest expense is the initial purchase and maintenance of the solar system which is state of the art.
