Huh, look at that! Tha erticle is quite old and only found it due to it was menetioned in a smal magazine about self reliance and other hippie things (magazine is called "Åter") and is also in Swedish, surprisingly good!

Anyway, how come you saw it? Did you talk to the people behind it?

i've passed by it while bikinga few times. it's about a km NE of the local ostrich farm.

haven't talked to them sadly, never even seen it move. i always thought the solar panels were for charging the 12v battery or something.

Cool, seems to be a side project for them, I think i read one of them was a teacher at some school nearby.
