Cover the tank in biomass. Make an Anaerobic Combustion wood chip pile or other biomass Heat Source https://www.motherearthnews.com/diy/compost-heater-zmaz80sozraw Simplest way is wire the hotwater to 120 volts for 1100 watt draw and or wire the 2 elements in series to get a 550 watt load. We...

2 many more than what's required is a good starting point.

start at 47:00 He explains it really well. You have to listen.

A dead short away from the wind turbine uses the wire as an inductor to limit the surge at the windimill. Its like regen braking on a car.

You missed something. 48 version is to be used with a rely. That explains the 1 amp limit.

One way is to use a 7s bms is to hook the 7th battery to a cell that does nothing. This 7th cell is just there to provide a voltage to cell 7 so the bms can work on 6s packs. Got it. I do this all the time. Some bms's work if you just leave off the 8th wire. You will need to experiment to...

I would place a group of batterys at the base of the tower. Charge them off windmill. Send the power to the Shack with a boost converter circuit. An inverter would work. Needs to be a control circuit to turn on and off the boost circuit. This should be easy to manage. Your windmill need to...

"You can't type yourself smart" Jack Rickard

Get 2 of them. One for parts. You really cut down the anxiety curve this way. I have heard reports of the glow plugs snapping after the first fire. I believe there is moisture collecter inside that needs to be corrected. Remove the heater from the plastic case, remove the control board and...

Hook 2 100 watt panels in parallel. then to a charge controller. Do this twice. Overall will be 2 200 watt systems. Use AGM, the real Mans battery. Dont need mppt. Just adds to much RF noise.

28 volts cutoff is fine for charging LifePO4. You would set GEL setting on the Morningstar. " The Battery Type rotary switch allows selection of 1 of 3 charging algorithms. These are broadly defined as the following battery types as noted on the lower label: Gel: Some gel and other battery...

The resistor goes on the positive breaker in the Jack Rickard design. Yeah Baby, Blow it Up...PoooooF

Rubbish Cells do it everytime. You need industrial grade new cells like what comes in cordless drill packs if your going to MadMax overload your battery. Or just get a Sur Ron

So the Microwaves going and the house battery is draining and saging and the engine battery is flowing current through the charge wire that is mistakenly connecting both batteries, and the current over time is climbing and melting the fuse holder. This is because some idot wired that boat...

Buy a Used Chevy Volt and use it to power the 7 days. You put a 1000 wall transformer inverter on it and configure it correctly and you be alrite. The Idea is to use the dc to dc converter as a power source. The converter is capabale of outputting 2000 watts or there about. So if nothing in...

You left out Smoke see 50:00 overcharging the little Puppy.

The uniden 980ssb is one of my favorates for ssb and am. Most notably the ssb audio from the 980 is superb. May be a fluke but that's what everybody tells me. They do have there quirks but all the new radios made in china do. There are 2 schools of thought. Amers and SSBers. Radios configured...

Load sequencer!!!!!!

PF is the blending of Real Power and Reactane Power.

Large transformer inverters with power factor correction. And some used Model S packs.

Been fitting my Gasoline generators for Natural Gas and they are working great. I'm using the Chinesium Despenser and Carb from Aliexpress. $30. Fitted a Champion 1200 watt and a Homelite 4300 watt. Both run great. No stinky smell. Motors run very smooth.

25 ohm is ok. I use light bulb 2 12volt in series. Yeah what he said.

Replace the Fla batterys and be done with it.

Your Chargers most likley employ PFC circuits. Power Factor Correction. This seriously complicates generator hookups. I would model my gen hookup to supply 50% of the generator load rating. Some attention spent on optimizing the governer linkage to obtain smooth transistion between load on...

Best antenna is a piece of wire from Dollar General, a 25 foot extention cord. Cut it up and make a 1/2 T2LT variant called a DIY Siro Gainmaster 1/2 wave and put it up at least 30' Kicks A$$. I've built a lot of antennas and this one is my favorate. Mine is at 77' on a bamboo stick held up...

The Idea is to get a Tub and put sand in like 4 inches and place the 300ah cells evenly spaced and pack sand around them and use cables "NOT BARS" and hook and then put a layer of sand on top. This sand should be clean like Play Sand you can get. The Batteries go outside and a Water systen...

Sail south till the butter melts and ask the guy in a fishing boat where is Charlston SC City Dock, Ask them they know everything. The panels you have are better than the ones you don't have.

Going from a point of less knowlege to an industrail battery build usually results in charcoal. All of us who "PLAY" with these and other systems have started small and played with small circuits to foster understanding. Will started out with a car battery and an inverter and solar/charge...
