More shizzle... : Pondering the ever more frequent local power outages -mostly intentional, annoyingly-, I was wondering what the minimum size of an inverter is that would be needed to keep my kitchen fridge going reliably, since I had an unexpected inverter shutdown last time. Hopefully...

I suppose one important question -which may or may not be obvious- in all this conjecturing would be which of the 2 vehicles would roll over first?

I'm generally not that keen on using a powerful flame under my gas-fueled oil-lubricated plastic-laden memories-full truck, TBH, so I do like the induction heater approach a good deal

Maybe not the case here, but Project Farm has enough viewers that in the past whatever he came up with as tops ran out of stock or saw price increases very quickly

and the numbers on reduced torque he got with the induction heaters were pretty impressive..

my lunettes have 360deg swivel so not much rollover resistance with the pintle hitch. Not that I'd want that.

lovely! It does indeed look much better complete with the base. Now, you got me thinking, as I've got a Bullet without the swivel... Wonder if they'll take one of my kids for it instead of cash. That I could afford to do... :) )

the notion of single-speeds for mountain biking boggles the mind...! (well, unless there are planetary gears hidden somehow in those back hubs, AW style ... :) )

I do have a bunch of surplus NATO cans, which I do like a lot and use all the time. However, -and I don't know if that is because of a poor pre-sale quick job by the wholesalers- they do tend to shed bits of inside paint, which makes me use want to use coffee filters when I move fuel around...

seems to me that even if you could get them abroad now somehow, you'd still be in a questionable situation not having them available at all locally. What do you do if one of your tires gets busted while wheeling? What would you replace it with if you are stuck someplace? Would you have to...

pleasantly surprising to see in that vid how much you can still get despite the bars shading. That shading might have about fully incapacitated many standard panels with discrete cells in series. Well, depending on the orientation of the shadow, of course.

much less than I thought, easier then.

I have not done that, but I imagine a welder running at 200A may need something close to 8000W, maybe even 10,000W, so to do that with a battery system you may need up to several hundreds of amps on that side, depending on configuration, which in turn will probably require large wires; likely...

I love my NATO cans but to be fair they also do balloon some in the heat. Not that this is a big problem TBF. [somebody knows what kind of spout that is up there in post 42?]

nothing special about that fuse, just a generic ATO 40A car fuse. Come to think of it, something similar also happened a few days ago; I was reconnecting my Victron Smartshunt, and that thing is inserted on the negative side but it needs of course a positive connection too to do something...
