Thanks for the java, man!

I snuck out this morn and got another little tidbit from the surplus electronics... The guy just gave it to me instead of ringing it up. I am getting closer to having all my computers on battery backup... If we have more storms like last night it's going to be mandatory.

I'm gonna be in the studio hooking up wires...

I keep hearing ads and talk among both survivalist types and back to the landers of 'solar generaters' Most of the time when the power goes here it's a storm that can last a week or more. Now solar???

There's two ways of doing solar. With one you have to convert the DC to AC so it can run your existing house wiring and appliances... This is very inefficient. The second way is to replace all appliances with DC units, like you might find in a camper van... Much more efficient but also costly and hard to find many items.

A combination of solar and wind power generation, with a combination of the two above methods of wiring and application would get you off the grid and keep many of the items you may be using now.... (fridge/computer/lighting/stereo system/etc. etc.)

I wanted to do this so bad when I had my cabin out in Mariposa CA. I just couldn't handle the costs involved to get started with it.

Like this post? Yes | No    

A wood burning generator? Solar-plants-genorator...When I was collaborating on the "Cannibis Papers" I saw lots of papers asserting that the biomass of one years growth of cannibis acre for acre far excedes any tree crop in energy yield as a fuel. I'm aware that mega watt genarators power cities burning coal, but are home size units easily obtainable?

Not that I know of... Of course I'm not an expert on that subject. New stuff comes along every day, but I think the problem with that is what to do with the heat loss. It's wasted energy during summer months at least.
