You are partially correct. I have had only mild interest in space weather since 2013 or so. *I am aware of regular radio disruptions.* Understanding how much exponential loss has occurred in the earth's geomagnetic field has my attention. I'm sure you understand the weaker our protection from...
The only way that will get permitted is if the Pelosi/Newsom crime family are majority stakeholders.
Poor Sonny Bono will be rolling over in his grave.
If only there were someone who started a DIY solar forum and constantly gets free batteries sent to them for review that would donate some Guinee pig batteries for real world testing of such matters... ?
Certainly not how a Constitutional republic is supposed to be. Maybe what is has become.. The people should have the capacity to immediately remove a representative that doesn't abide by their wishes. While democracy is pure mob rule.
What we have now are politicians who try to find cracks in...
Too much popping off globally. It's difficult to know if we are still in the steady drip-drip or the train has apexed and just hasn't gained enough speed to say with a certainty that it is indeed coming off the rails.
Continued economic collapse is most looming. Things are changing and will get...
On the contrary, my friend. Home power generation is a reality. You are free to negotiate prices for the power lines, transformers, and other accoutrement needed for your lifestyle with your provider. Leave me and my anti-socialist tax-dollars out of your equations.
Roger. I would hope that most of those steps would be moot if OP is moving into an existing building (the school) Unless it was condemned. A friend bought a retired grade school. It was cool he had his own personal indoor basketball court.
Real world assessment: This one has been running for about 18 months. It cost about $150. I estimate(disconnected the shunt meter about 6 months ago) it has produced around 45KWH in that time. It produces power at 4.5 mph. Average wind speeds here are 6mph (according to NOAH, although there is...
No offence to your system intended. NEC really doesn't apply to a system of that size. No need to get a two-pole disconnect as you will need a different one by the time the pv side of the system grows to be "dangerous". 48 volts and above is generally the cut-off for putting the wires in your...
Obviously, you should pay more attention to speculation outside the MSM. Some say beer drinking rednecks. Some say imbedded Russian assets. My money is on beer-drinking Russian rednecks. It's the obvious answer.
Perhaps those weirdos that dress up and go to renaissance fairs will outlast everyone.?
As far as automation goes, I won't bother to watch the video as it wreaks of $$$. But if you can buy a lawnmower that can map your yard and not turn fluffy into patte, sure an industrious DIYer can make...
This is what supposedly shot it down over the Atlantic. Service ceiling of 50k and armed with 20mm Gatling gun. Supposedly, the balloon entered US airspace in the Aleutians (one of the most monitored areas in the US). Why did it get across AK and Canada before a civilian finally noticed it in...
Plus those little bastids are always trying to sneak out when pressurized. At least that's what NASA claims. I think the lizard people steal them at night.
Somehow those innocent 'little greenies' convinced a large group of easily persuaded idiots to borrow trillions of dollars and give it to them. Big oil is a small fish.
Right. That was why I included "borrowed". Not only is there impossible interest debt, but the inflation caused by dumping un earned money into the system means I have to work twice as hard to buy my things.
No doubt. Had my Ram Cummins in for warranty work and there were between 5-8 service 'liasons' behind the counter. To my knowledge their only purpose is to keep the customer from directly interfacing with the mechanic.
Nonrefundable $450 diagnostic fee? Really?
Funny. I was refinishing the hardwood floors in a 1920s Era farmhouse in Nebraska. Back then they used newspaper as a wind barrier on the subfloor. I found the front page of the 'Omaha Bee'. Headline: US DEBT REACHES TWO BILLION.
Another lesson I hope Trump has learned. The 'good men and women' in the field are more than happy to follow whatever orders come from the top.
Ask Randy Weaver.
This is all you need to know. You are trying to pull 125% of the battery output. Different cables wont help you. A second battery in parallel could give you 200 amps continuous (questionably).
I would add that at 13.1 resting volts you are working with a battery with only a 40% charge and...
Not sure if anyone has linked the recent interview with Dr. Willie Soon. I have seen several of his lectures but the interview was good. He is certainly a firm denier of anthropogenic warming. His voice among other greats in the science community such as Freeman Dyson, William Happer, and...
I think it is fairly certain that the field never completely collapses. That would irradiated everything and kill it.
We can surmise that as it weakens possibly an M class flare could take out the grid.
Dot.gov studies say 90% of US would die In 12 months if grid fails. Also quotes a 12% chance...
I don't normally recommend solar generators, this would be the exception. Rewire a string or two of panels and enjoy a little electricity while you assess and prepare.
Also, who is going to be "signing off" on an existing off'grid solar installation?
