Solar
Well here I sit, still not satisfied with my current Solar system.
Could be that I am addicted in some strange way. I am certain that is not the case. At least I think that is not the case. I do love powering things from sunlight.
My most recent system is a true success, it works perfectly for the application I had in mind when
I designed it. Problem is the application has changed in every regard.
Actually this is my third Solar system in the last five years.
The first two systems were related to my fish pond. I have a pond that is 70 feet in diameter and 12 feet deep, needs pumping to keep things healthy.
My latest was for an old portable classroom/office about 1,000 square feet.
I use that space as storage and office space. I wanted to build a system that was capable of running an 8,000 BTU ac for several hours and of course lighting, computer, and my 3d printer.
I did it, works perfectly!.
Problem is we now we use that space as an office/ distribution center where two or three piece workers show up in the evening, not good.
So increasing the batteries is a must,more batteries require more input (more panels).
Batteries are really complex, as least as complex as any other part of the system. Batteries cost a lot are really heavy and don’t last long. (lead acid flooded)
I had hoped to wait for Telsa type battery packs and related components to become common (cheaper) before I did any serious spending on the battery portion of the system.
Right now all I have is four 160 ah 12vdc batteries in series (48vdc).
Not much reserve power when you are trying to run an air conditioner.
I am really excited about converting this system. I maybe more excited about selling it and starting over, bigger, better, more horse power, make that SUN power .
Batteries away!
USA vs, HONG KONG
Hi, We just turned two years old,that is right, We are located only in the USA, our product is cut, rolled, wrapped and packaged US citizens right here in N Florida.
Amazon ships our product really, really fast, no waiting on that fake product,from the fake Supplies 3d.com in HongKong.
Yes sad but true we have had our hard work stolen from us. Enjoy this great FUN PACK @ well below our cost. You our customers deserve it. Once we reclaim our rightful property our ads, pictures and our name we will return to normal pricing.
Right now this low price is the only way to drive the IMO thieves from Hong Kong off.
I am sorry my customers are being forced into this confusion and this extremely low price is my answer.
Our normally $24.95 sampler pack until we win just $7.95
Thanks everyone!
Passing on the truth, from my inbox Two America’s
|
The Democrats are right, there are two Americas. The America that works, and the America that doesn’t. The America that contributes, and the America that doesn’t. It’s not the haves and the have not’s, it’s the dos and the don’ts. Some people do their duty as Americans, obey the law, support themselves, contribute to society, and others don’t. That’s the divide in America.
It’s not about income inequality, it’s about civic irresponsibility. It’s about a political party that preaches hatred, greed and victimization in order to win elective office. It’s about a political party that loves power more than it loves its country.
That’s not invective, that’s truth, and it’s about time someone said it.
The politics of envy was on proud display a couple weeks ago when President Obama pledged the rest of his term to fighting “income inequality.” He noted that some people make more than other people, that some people have higher incomes than others, and he says that’s not just. That is the rationale of thievery.
The other guy has it, you want it, Obama will take it for you. Vote Democrat. That is the philosophy that produced Detroit.
It is the electoral philosophy that is destroying America. It conceals a fundamental deviation from American values and common sense because it ends up not benefiting the people who support it, but a betrayal.
The Democrats have not empowered their followers, they have enslaved them in a culture of dependence and entitlement, of victim-hood and anger instead of ability and hope. The president’ premise –that you reduce income inequality by debasing the successful –seeks to deny the successful the consequences of their choices and spare the unsuccessful the consequences of their choices. Because, by and large, income variations in society is a result of different choices leading to different consequences. Those who choose wisely and responsibility have a far greater likelihood of success, while those who choose foolishly and irresponsibly have a far greater likelihood of failure. Success and failure usually manifest themselves in personal and family income. You choose to drop out of high school or to skip college – and you are apt to have a different outcome than someone who gets a diploma and pushes on with purposeful education. You have your children out of wedlock and life is apt to take one course; you have them within a marriage and life is apt to take another course. Most often in life our destination is determined by the course we take.
My doctor, for example, makes far more than I do. There is significant income inequality between us. Our lives have had an inequality of outcome, but, our lives also have had an in equality of effort. While my doctor went to college and then devoted his young adulthood to medical school and residency, I got a job in a restaurant. He made a choice, I made a choice, and our choices led us to different outcomes. His outcome pays a lot better than mine. Does that mean he cheated and Barack Obama needs to take away his wealth? No, it means we are both free men in a free society where free choices lead to different outcomes.
It is not inequality Barack Obama intends to take away, it is freedom. The freedom to succeed, and the freedom to fail. There is no true option for success if there is no true option for failure. The pursuit of happiness means a whole lot less when you face the punitive hand of government if your pursuit brings you more happiness than the other guy. Even if the other guy sat on his arse and did nothing. Even if the other guy made a lifetime’s worth of asinine and short sighted decisions.
Barack Obama and the Democrats preach equality of outcome as a right, while completely ignoring inequality of effort.
The simple Law of the Harvest – as ye sow, so shall ye reap – is sometimes applied as, “The harder you work, the more you get.”
Obama would turn that upside down. Those who achieve are to be punished as enemies of society and those who fail are to be rewarded as wards of society. Entitlement will replace effort as the key to upward mobility in American society if Barack Obama gets his way. He seeks a lowest common denominator society in which the government besieges the successful and productive to foster equality through mediocrity. He and his party speak of two Americas, and their grip on power is based on using the votes of one to sap the productivity of the other. America is not divided by the differences in our outcomes, it is divided by the differences in our efforts.
It is a false philosophy to say one man’s success comes about unavoidably as the result of another man’s victimization.
What Obama offered was not a solution, but a separatism. He fomented division and strife, pitted one set of Americans against another for his own political benefit. That’s what socialists offer. Marxist class warfare wrapped up with a bow. Two Americas, coming closer each day to proving the truth to Lincoln’s maxim that a house divided against itself cannot stand.

An Expert denounces man made carbon issue
I found this in my inbox this morning, I found it interesting. I hope it is not a fake!
A perspective that I agree with!
A different perspective on CO2 emissions.Ian Rutherford Plimer is an Australian geologist, professor emeritus of earth sciences at the University of Mrelbourne, professor of mining geology at the University of Adelaide, and the director of multiple mineral exploration and mining companies. He has published 130 scientific papers, six books and edited the Encyclopedia of Geology.
Born 12 February 1946 (age 68) Residence Australia Nationality Australian Fields Earth Science, Geology,Mining Engineering Institutions University of New England, University of Newcastle, University of Melbourne, University of Adelaide Almamater University of New South Wales, MacquarieUniversity Thesis The pipe deposits of tungsten-molybdenum-bismuth in eastern Australia (1976) Notable awards Eureka Prize (1995, 2002),Centenary Medal(2003), Clarke Medal(2004) Where Does the Carbon Dioxide Really Come From?Professor Ian Plimer could not have said it better!
If you’ve read his book you will agree, this is a good summary.
PLIMER: “Okay, here’s the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland. Since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet – all of you.Of course, you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress – it’s that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans and all animal life.I know….it’s very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of driving Priushybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kids “The Green Revolution” science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only twosquares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat,vacationing at home instead of abroad.Nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cent light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs…..well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just four days.
The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere in just four days – yes, FOUR DAYS – by that volcano in Iceland has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon.
And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud at any one time – EVERY DAY.I don’t really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatuboerupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its years on earth. Yes, folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over One year – think about it.Of course, I shouldn’t spoil this ‘touchy-feely tree-hugging’moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keeps happening despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanicashcloud, but the fact of the matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and Australia this year alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years. And it happens every year.Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you, on the basis of the bogus ‘human-caused’ climate-change scenario.Hey, isn’t it interesting how they don’t mention ‘Global Warming’ anymore, but just‘Climate Change’– you know why? It’s because the planet has COOLEDby 0.7 degrees in the past century and these global warming bull artists got caught with their pants down.And, just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme – that whopping new tax – imposed on you that will achieve absolutely nothingexcept make you poorer. It won’t stop any volcanoes from erupting, that’s for sure.But, hey, relax…… and have a nice day :>)”

Another Awesome email (not my work)
interesting to note Iacocca is a DemocratLee Iacocca Says:‘Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage with this so called president? We should be screaming bloody murder! We’ve got a gang of tax cheating clueless leftists trying to steer our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can’t even run a ridiculous cash-for-clunkers program without losing $26 billion of the taxpayers’ money, much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, ‘trust me the economy is getting better…’Better? You’ve got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned, ‘Titanic’. I’ll give you a sound bite: ‘Throw all the Democrats out along with Obama!’You might think I’m getting senile, that I’ve gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore…The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs… While we’re fiddling in Afghanistan , Iran is completing their nuclear bombs and missiles and nobody seems to know what to do. And the liberal press is waving ‘pom-poms’ instead of asking hard questions. That’s not the promise of the ‘ America ‘ my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for… I’ve had enough. How about you?I’ll go a step further. You can’t call yourself a patriot if you’re not outraged. This is a fight I’m ready and willing to have. The Biggest ‘C’ is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C’s of leadership, with crisis being the first.)Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It’s easy to sit there with thumb up your butt and talk theory. Or send someone else’s kids off to war when you’ve never seen a battlefield yourself. It’s another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here’s where we stand.We’re immersed in a bloody war now with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. But our soldiers are dying daily.We’re running the biggest deficit in the history of the world, and it’s getting worse every day!We’ve lost the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.Gas prices are going to skyrocket again, and nobody in power has a lucid plan to open drilling to solve the problem. This country has the largest oil reserves in the WORLD, and we cannot drill for it because the politicians have been bought by the flea-hugging environmentalists.Our schools are in a complete disaster because of the teachers union.Our borders are like sieves and they want to give all illegals amnesty and free healthcare.The middle class is being squeezed to death every day.These are times that cry out for leadership.But when you look around, you’ve got to ask: ‘Where have all the leaders gone?’ Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo?We’ve spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.Everyone’s hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping the government will make it better for them. Now, that’s just crazy… Deal with life.Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when ‘The Big Three’ referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, look what Obama did about it! Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.I have news for the Chicago gangsters in Congress. We didn’t elect you to turn this country into a losing European Socialist state. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on NBC or CNN news will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don’t you guys show some spine for a change?Had Enough? Hey, I’m not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I’m trying to light a fire. I’m speaking out because I have hope – I believe in America .. In my lifetime, I’ve had the privilege of living through some of America ‘s greatest moments. I’ve also experienced some of our worst crises: The ‘Great Depression,’ ‘World War II,’ the ‘Korean War,’ the ‘Kennedy Assassination,’ the ‘Vietnam War,’ the 1970’s oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years since 9/11.Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about. It’s our country, folks, and it’s our future. Our future is at stake!!***********************************Next ELECTION,,,,,,,Are YOU going to VOTE for the “CHANGES” we needor do nothing but pay Homage and TAXES to Queen Hillary ??Share this before there is no way to SAVE OUR U.S.A. !!!

Subject: So much to know, so little time…
Colonel Edward Mandell House is attributed with giving a very detailed outline of the plans to be
implemented to enslave the American people. He stated, in a private meeting with Woodrow Wilson
(President 1913 – 1921), Very soon, every American will be required to register their biological property
(that’s you and your children) in a national system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate
under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda,
which will affect our security as a charge back for our fiat paper currency.
Every American will be forced to register or suffer being able to work and earn a living. They will be
our chattels (property) and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law
merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering
the bills of lading (Birth Certificate) to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, secured by their pledges.
They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and
they will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans and, if by accident one
or two should figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability. After all, this is the only logical way
to fund government, by floating liens and debts to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges.
This will inevitably reap us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a
contributor to this fraud, which we will call “Social Insurance.” Without realizing it, every American will
unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope
for their redemption and we will employ the high office (presidency) of our dummy corporation (USA) to
21foment this plot against America. – Colonel Edward Mandell House
Capital must protect itself in every possible way, both by combination and legislation. Debts must be
collected, mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When through the process of law the common
people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of
government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. These truths are well known
among our principal men who are now engaged in forming an imperialism to govern the world. By
dividing the voter through the political party system we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for
questions of no importance. It is thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves that which has been so
well planned and so successfully accomplished. – 1924 US Banker’s Association Magazine
What the Cuban missile crisis taught me.
I never felt such tension here at Chennault Air Force Base, Lake Charles Louisiana. My Father all dressed in his flight suit, red High alert scarf and just waiting for the call. The evening meeting at our house, Dad his co-pilot Jimmie and the Navigator discussing weather patterns. The phone ringing , him tearing out of the house. We would wave him back, false alarm, private call.
No going to school or into town, no visitors from off base. Certainly no contact with non coms kids. Officers children don’t play with non coms and such . Was always the rule but strictly enforced for now that the base was on high alert.
We were given instructions on what to do and when, if the attack started. We even were given information on shelter .
When I asked my dad about the shelter he gave terse short answers. I asked about the kids at school will they be there? No.Will my teacher be there ? No. How about all the people that work at the officers Club, the pool, the library? Probably Not. What will come of them if there is a war?Son they may die, unless they have provided themselves shelter. Even my teacher? Son teachers don’t make much money, I don’t think she could afford to build a shelter. Son the real , people of importance will have built their own shelters and they will be fine the people that matter will be just fine.
Dad why do we get shelter while others don’t? All of you as my family are important to me and I am important to the Air Force so all of us will be safe no matter what. Yes it could be an entirely different world after the war but we will be safe.
I felt sick, I worried about all of my friends at school , my Teacher all dead from radiation and I thought I will not go to the shelter.
That’s it 1 I just won’t go. funny how 10 yr old boys think .
My big lesson? From the perspective of government civilians don’t count or matter.
