I don’t use #Bitaxe, but want to use it in my car. I am trying to sort out how I can change my cigarette lighter to AC with a converter and whether I can mine with personal hotspot during my commute…….
It will never really be profitable, but supports the network that has supported me!
It technically would be free electricity while you run it as your alternator is doing the work!
I'm an electrician. There is very little power available through the lighter. If you were serious, run new feeds from the battery. Use at least a #4awg and run to a dedicated inverter, say a 500w or more. I can always crunch the numbers for you and size your conductors
The Bitaxe gamma uses 21.6 watts. I am planning to use an AC plug in an old car, that came with it. It is rated for 150 watts maximum! It should be good, I think!
It's not free power, the engine knows
It’s free power if you own the car. 👍🏻
I mean it costs fuel
If you are traveling anyway, during a commute, your engines running and your alternator spinning.
Using enough fuel to produce the required energy, including that of any Bitaxes sapping torque
