Finally finished some light engineering for a bioacoustic monitoring job this summer, within the context of an agro-ecology grant. Test rig is currently running in the garden with the others in storage. Still missing some odd bits (U-bolts seem hard to source).

Can anyone recommend a portable power station (which I would charge with solar panels) that is capable of running various 120V power tools? I have a Pecron LFP2000 which can run *some* tools, but can't handle the startup surge of my mitre saw, 8gal air compressor, or electric log splitter. If anybody has actually run tools like these on a power station I'd love to hear about it.
I'm considering the Anker C2000 v2 as they claim a 4000W surge capacity on it, but prefer not to spend $1000 to find out.

Interesting Kickstarter project for the off-grid crowd. PREP is a portable wind turbine — 250W, 6 lbs, backpack-sized. Automatically aligns to wind direction with a patent-pending finless yaw system.
Solar is great but doesn't work at night. This fills that gap: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/438191414/prep-portable-wind-power-system-for-life-off-grid?ref=7ir6uk

#Les3BonheursDuJour hors réseau d'une splendide journée de printemps :
• Payer mon allongé en argent comptant au Café Reine Garçon ;
• Écrire à la plume sur du papier ;
• Rentrer le linge qui a séché sur la corde (à l'énergie solaire et éolienne) et qui sent bon. 🧦🌞
