Off-Grid Tech

When powerlines are down for weeks, you're Off-Grid whether you like it or not. Solar + V2H + Biofuel from waste provides reliable energy for critical functions

@newstart_2024 Nutritionists fed highly-processed sugar-laden breakfast cereal to a group of rats. They fed the cardboard box the cereal came in to another group of rats.

Can you guess which group of rats was healthier, happier & lived longer?

@fullar27028 @deepstash So your knowledge is 38 years out-of-date?

@fullar27028 @deepstash We?

What part did you play in designing or promoting SOx and NOx removal systems?????

Gas turbines still emit NOx.

Linear generators ramp much faster and emit near zero NOx. Often an order of magnitude or more lower than standard gas turbines:

Overdependence on fossil fuels causes poverty.

Fossil fuels are inefficiently-stored solar energy. There are far more efficient ways to store solar energy. Anyone who denies that is ignorant.

A desperate fossil fuel hypocrite is talking about violence. Not the first time.

Supporting local farmers (including urban farmers) is one of many strategies to avoid unstable food costs caused by unstable fossil fuel prices.

@fullar27028 @deepstash It's about the fossil fuel industry panicking as cheaper alternatives quickly emerge.

"[the killer] had a 16-second gap to notice the bicycle but failed to do so."

Barely a consequence for careless driving that took a life. Without harsh consequences, some % of people will continue putting everyone around them at risk.

@BrixtonHatter @CrimeLdn @but_cyclists Faces help convince voters to elect politicians who give police and courts the tools they need to remove incompetent/malicious drivers from public roads BEFORE they kill.

After-the-fact punishment doesn't bring victims back to life.

@Kalpeshravals @ImaniStark5 Most unskilled people are capable of acquiring in-demand skills. Forgetful people need lessons broken up into microlessons to learn new skills.

Where unemployment is high, an important skill is market research to determine which new products and services are needed.

A propos of nothing, here's what TfL tells its bus drivers to do around cyclists at bus stops. Let's hope they all follow these rules, eh! https://t.co/ODNRmKOq8P

I can do math. And biology.

CO2 levels don't need to be immediately lethal to cause problems. CO2 at slightly elevated levels cause drowsiness. Drowsy drivers can kill. A second order effect.

Elevated CO2 levels (hypercapnia) in a fetus or newborn can cause significant health problems, primarily by altering blood flow to the brain and lowering blood pH.

Just because things aren’t working out today doesn’t mean your story is finished.

Air pollution from diesel exhaust causes many people to struggle to breathe by causing inflammation of airways.

I once live in a house with a bus stop in front. Every time a bus accelerated away from the stop, the hideous stench of diesel exhaust filled the house.

I was only there for a few months, but some families, are forced to breathe diesel exhaust for decades.

This has been going on for a long time.

In 1914, A.D. Godley wrote:

"What is this that roareth thus?
Can it be a Motor Bus?
Yes, the smell and hideous hum
Indicat Motorem Bum!"

People with Asthma, COPD, Ischemic Heart Disease, and other health problems suffer and die from diesel exhaust.

Electric vehicles not only save a fortune on fuel and maintenance, they also save lives and heavy medical costs.

[Redwood Materials @RedwoodMat]

Old EV batteries still have a lot of work left in them.

Redwood Energy takes used transportation battery packs, refurbishes them, and redeploys them as low-cost energy storage for the growing electrification of industry.

The fastest way to add power to the grid is already in our backyard!

[EV Clinic @evclinic]

A locked Mercedes EQS battery won't even let you repair it. One cell dies, the slave BMS latches the whole pack, throws P1C80 and kills the high voltage — and here's the trap: you can't just clear it, the fault is burned into the BMS memory and no diagnostic tool on this planet can wipe it. Dealer answer? New battery. Thirty grand. For one dead cell. That's exactly where we come in.

We cracked it the only way that actually works — read both slave BMS EEPROMs byte by byte, decode the stored faults, map the internal resistance of all 108 cells, and watch the failure replay itself: cell 12 in module I collapsing from 3.8V down to 1.5V under load while the BMS counted down to lockout. No scanner shows you that. We pull it straight out of the chip — and we even caught the next cells starting to go before they strand the car again.

And here's the clever bit nobody talks about — this pack is really two batteries in one. Two 400V strings running in parallel, each on its own BMS. When the right string went bad, the system did exactly what it was built to do: it cut the faulty right side off from its own control and kept the car running on the left string alone. The car literally drove on half its battery, limping along on the healthy left side while the dead right one sat isolated — until the left slowly drained itself down to empty. That's redundancy doing its job, and most people never even know it happened.

And get this straight — the lockout is wiped while EVERY byte of the original factory calibration stays untouched. No donor BMS. No swapped-in module dragging someone else's data into your pack. Nothing compromised. The battery keeps its own brain, its own calibration, its own identity — just without the fault. That's the difference between a real fix and a bodge.

Full breakdown, pictures and part numbers at the bottom of the article:

EQS V297 · slave BMS M95M02 + TC277T - Cells CATL
TOP A789 900 2801 · BOTTOM A789 900 9800
Faults cleared: P1C80 · P1540 · P0F18 · P0F64 · P0B63 · P0B64 · P0B67 · U357D

Software side is done — the lockout is beaten, calibration intact. Now we are waiting brand new modules from Poland to install into battery and finally run the car without any locking faults and with more range.

Sustainablity of EV in comparison with ICE is measured in repairability!

There was no shortage of workers. There were intelligent workers wasting their lives doing simple, repetitive work when they were capable of doing far more complex, interesting, and financially rewarding work that served society's needs better.

My great grandparents generation were farmers and farm laborers. Their descendants include a mechanized farm equipment repair person, a university neuroscience researcher, a heart surgeon, a cardiologist, a registered nurse, a paramedic, several factory automation technicians, and an air force major. One was a straight A student in biology and other sciences. She wanted to be a medical researcher, but she married young and never had a chance to fulfill her dreams.

Today, online libraries and online education gives everyone in the world a chance to fulfill their dreams.

Did you dream of being a taxi driver as the ultimate career when you were a child? Or did you have higher goals?

Elon is not pocketing 100% of profits. Most profits are put back into his companies as capital investments, building more factories creating more skilled jobs.

Elon has competitors. This limits amount of profit he can make.

What's stopping taxi drivers from pooling their money and building another competitor that makes less profit, and pays workers more?

Is anyone in your family intellectually capable of doing part of that? Or are they all envious, whining, losers?

[Off-Grid Tech @OffGridTech_net]

@Radios4Freedom @1fCB3jDGh651022 Public safety isn't hype.

Are you whining because each combine harvester does the work of up to 200 farm laborers with scythes?

Do you believe all farm laborers and taxi drivers are too stupid to learn new jobs?

@user9361 @deepstash You're not being realistic about real world examples of agriculture reducing economic consequences of dependence on imported fossil fuels.

@TheodoreRoosev8 @IainArm00820896 @deepstash More people ARE buying electric vehicles despite the cost of oil being massively subsidized by taxpayer funding of military & civilian costs of propping-up the global oil industry.

[Off-Grid Tech @OffGridTech_net]

Plants need CO2 during the day to grow + O2 at night. Plants thrive with very high levels of CO2 that would kill or debilitate humans.

Veterinarians use high levels of CO2 to euthanize some animals.

Plants are not the same as humans & animals. With the possible exception of folks who turn themselves into vegetables by believing oil industry propaganda.
