🤩 those are some beautiful welds!
Thank you. 😁
Do you know much about welding?
I’m a MiG welder or wire feed 👩🏭
Not a professional at all yet I enjoy doing it and they say I do a good job at it ha ha
Between helping my husband build a water well drilling rig from scratch and now working on building a power tower (to make our homestead self sustainable and say F U to PG&E) I’d say my most recent welds have been looking pretty professional and I’m feeling good about it 😁
That's rad! All of it! (Especially getting to the point to tell your pet company to go scratch! I'm building it a solar system for my RV trailer that's also my home for much the same reason!)
Thank you, yes I think so too. My husband is the inventor I’m just his helper like in the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang 💥 ( the original one lol) 🤪
Our tower will be a hybrid of wind and solar, so now I’m also learning about energy and electricity ⚡️ Tell me more about your solar system for your RV that’s awesome 😎
My RV isn't too big, but I scored a deal on 4 REC 405W panels. These are near top of the line! Right now, I've only got two mounted to the roof, but they've been incredible. In cool, sunny weather, I regularly get above the rates power coming in!
The panels are running into twin MPP Solar 3048LV-MKs, set up to run in split phase. They are charging one DIY 16 105Ah cell lifepo4 battery pack managed by a JKBMS. More storage will happen later this year. I'm in process of re-wiring the trailer for 240V so I can run a higher efficiency mini-split (the roof top AC is terribly inefficient!) to provide much better heating and cooling in the space and also being able to support BTC miners that I intend to use to provide radiant heat (imagine having a heated floor in an RV!!!) and possibly pre-heating hot water for washing and showering.
With more storage and the full 4 panel array, I can pretty easily cover all even with moderate heat and cooling loads via the battery and panels. After I move to my own property, I'll be able to build and utilize a wood gassifier to run a generator and charge the batteries if needed. I will eventually need more panels to cover power in the winter, but, that can come later.
This whole thing is going to be versatile, flexible, and pretty friggon' rad!
😎 Incredible! You’ve done your homework, you know your stuff 👌🏻
Once we get our 15000 watt combination wind solar monopole mounted energy system set up I’ll send you some pics, it should happen sometime this year. It will operate our home, water-well pump, all communications (currently on starlink) and a water distiller for a future of off-grid living.
I'm fascinated by the concept. I really do look forward to seeing what you come up with.
I learned a lot over the last ~6-8 months. Still have more to learn, but I'll get the chance to build out another system on my eventual tow vehicle (likely a used 17' uhaul box truck since I need more storage space and can use another clean roof to install more panels, plus space for one or two upright freezers...) with updated equipment that wasn't available even just a very few months ago.
You distill all your water? Are you re-mineralizing after?
