Hi mohamed!

Re:

Providing this question to answers.com provides a wealth of resources. The first of which, a PDF file, seems to answer the question.

Re question #2, I'm sorry, I can't help there.
Cheers!

You can find a lot of this stuff at:

You could also dismantle / recycle pre-fabricated products, such as solar garden lights, which are available at stores like Home Depot.
