Understanding Watts, Amps, and Volts to create your power system

Watching the #Volts vs Auckland Aces and I'm not feeling particularly inspired by Jacob Cummings' debut appearance in the field. I hope his batting makes up for some sloppy mistakes.

"It’s a great idea to try [..] becoming more rational and hearing other sides can help. But at the end of the day, a lot of what is going to shape which sources you trust has to do with the broader social environment that you are in and the social identities that you hold within that environment."

The cure for misinformation is not more information, argue David Roberts and Samuel Bragg on #Volts.

Сортировка, сварка, тесты: из чего состоит современное производство накопителей энергии Volts

Компания Volts выпускает накопители электрической энергии для квартир и домов. Мы уже бывали на их производственной площадке два года назад — и вот вернулись снова. С первых минут стало ясно, что производство заметно изменилось: появилась собственная ультразвуковая сварка аккумуляторов, автоматическая сортировка ячеек, SMD-монтаж плат управления, уличная версия корпуса и обновленная BMS. То, что раньше обсуждали как перспективу, теперь работает в регулярном режиме. Мы прошли путь от склада до тестовой зоны и посмотрели, как сегодня собирают накопители Volts — какие решения используют, какие процессы изменили и какие задачи удалось решить за эти два года.

"... basically, the rapid corporatisation of social media companies was driven by industry's fear of the ... early, freeform internet ... that they were just like;

'... we have lost control of the story. If there's just this giant, open public messaging machine, where people are just sharing stories and ideas willy-nilly, we don't get to control it!'.

I mean, that is the origin story of the social media industry as we know it."

we are updating the file with some more graphics.

lets hope we explain parallel vs. seriell connection well.

I'm reading/listening to this very interesting podcast from Volts, from David Roberts:

*Who is paying for all that data center power?*

(A conversation with Eliza Martin and Ari Peskoe)

One of the best #Volts episodes I have ever heard, I want every city councilor or alderman in America to listen to this conversation with Matthew Lewis before taking office. Even if you don't care about climate or carbon, this is the future of cities at stake.

Автоматизация умного дома за 11 миллионов — а вы бы заплатили?

Мы продолжаем знакомиться с интеграторами и изучать умные дома, которые они создают для себя. Насколько их личные проекты отличаются от решений для клиентов? Недавно к нам обратился энтузиаст Андрей из Петербурга. Сначала он сделал свой умный дом, затем собрал команду специалистов и стал интегратором. Бюджет его собственного проекта впечатляет — 11 миллионов рублей — и это только на автоматизацию! Давайте узнаем, какие возможности предлагает такой умный дом и чем Андрей может нас удивить.

I listened to this conversation on the #Volts podcast about the Passive House building standard, and this part of the conversation jumped out at me.

Multi-family housing in the U.S. is often a crappy living experience. Poor insulation, thin walls, hotel-like long corridors without windows, onerous property mgmt, huge parking garages, etc.

Denser housing is a climate MUST. We need to make urban housing forms actually nice to live in if we want more people to live there.

"Steel production generates almost 10 percent of global carbon emissions and has long been considered 'hard to abate'. Enter Boston Metal, a startup that aims to make carbon-free steel using only (sing it with me!) clean electricity. In this episode, CEO Tadeu Carneiro explains 'molten oxide electrolysis' and its potential to transform the industry."

A brief update on my #battery driven #studio. It looks like I'm going to have to invest in #solar cells right now after all, as the #electricity here on this beautiful island is not only exceptionally bad or #unstable in terms of #voltage but also in terms of #frequency, which makes it difficult for the #inverter to recognize a #powergrid as present at all. 😵‍💫️ Recently, the #volts have dropped at times below 140 while the frequency has hovered beween 40 to 55 #hertz.

@w7voa Very cool, I've been interested in this company since I heard an interview with Fervo's CEO on the #Volts podcast.

First I heard an encouraging discussion on the juy 21 #Volts podcast : https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudm9sdHMud3RmL2ZlZWQ/episode/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudm9sdHMud3RmL3AvZW5oYW5jZWQtZ2VvdGhlcm1hbC1wb3dlci1pcy1maW5hbGx5?ep=14

And now #NYTimes has a lengthy & informatiive article: There’s a Vast Source of Clean Energy Beneath Our Feet. And a Race to Tap It. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/28/climate/geothermal-energy-projects.html?unlocked_article_code=Yi2HKhvVWBxg_3_mzASYq0SVPd82mSaPHfHWbaR-ad3dMKogegN4pyrB57C9OyQCibEKx8PlYpoDlF7Aiym96mDg5tOLcGW8gStjGT2JRpq0PGwjFiTGmBojAFNVeOxNdp1WqqsZUIEqWvFTIfdMp7JgdjcDetYQS83mH2TCsMqwAcDQoxkxSKNwsLAGWt7lAsGBeMDBZkKCimigLuyE57_tdutpv3DL579XD9TXoolBKUSIpyVZjKa_ThxobWaGlliy1m6_TWT_wtKqoyD94u6Tjpbd2tgL9GPKsgC1L19oHPqtuokOqm5iymIGIHmhDpWljUbnMajACCRPeP518XW7kg5d

Encouraging, I think - repurposing the skills of oil & gas field workers a potentially significant benefit for skilled workers

from @drvolts #Volts podcast: Building #EmbeddedBatteries into #appliances (stoves, water heaters, heat pumps, etc) reduces expense of rewiring homes w/ higher amperage outlets to replace natural gas fueled appliances. Setting up storage options from appliance factories is a real efficiency booster.

His podcast + substack content are very subscription worthy.
