Free Energy RANT CAFFE ASYLUM

I found one work around of sorts concerning FE and the grid.

The majority of all external costs with renewable energy like solar/wind power relate to regulations or permitting. However this only applies to the power we export to the grid.

Hybrid inverters are different because there programed to never export power bypassing the majority of permitting required. All the power generated by our devices goes to our house, to charge batteries or for space/water heating. The bonus is that the hybrid inverter can import power to drive loads or charge batteries off peak if wanted.

It's the perfect FE add on because the utility never sees anything exported only a reduction in the power we import. The utility would never know and since the hybrid inverter never exports power the utility never needs to be notified were running a hybrid system. You see, the way it's designed it's considered a hybrid uninterruptible power supply or UPS. Absolutely brilliant in my opinion...

They basically integrated a high efficiency DC/DC converter/battery charger with a high efficiency AC inverter. So I'm kind of pumped about the notion of having wind, solar, micro-hydro and FE devices all falling under the same umbrella. All AC or DC power is fed to the hybrid inverter which manages all the energy flow for me automatically.

Here's the thing, corporations and governments have some pull outside our house but if they ever tried to tell us what we should be doing inside it that's personal and a deal breaker. Nobody wants to go there because it's hallowed ground and they would only end up looking like a douche bag dictator like in Russia or China. As well, we rural country folk have a special place in hell for others trying to tell us what we can and cannot do on our own land and I kind of like it that way.

I have a 4400 watt solar array, an 80' high 1kw Windmill and run an off-grid setup. Huge $10,000 battery bank. I do not grid-tie.  I have an Outback Inverter which I run in HBX mode, in conjunction with 2 flexmax charge controllers, Flexnet shunt monitor, and all the bells and whistles. 

The inverter has built-in transfer switch which monitors the battery bank SOC.  My house auto switches from Battery bank to Grid depending on the SOC of the bank.

The problem I have is I can produce 4.5 Kw at a given time, but my house may only be using 600 watts at that moment.  The battery bank can easily be filled by noon..  That leaves me with a situation where I will be producing 3.9 extra Kw several hours a day with nothing to do with it, so it gets wasted.

Sure I could divert some of the wasted power to some load like a water-heater.  But I use a tankless water heater and having a tank of water at 90 degrees in my basement is of little value to me. 

People usually say "get more batteries and store it"..  But the payback is not worth the cost of a battery bank that large.

The whole problem with Solar and Wind is that they produce when they want to, not when I want them to.  If I could turn the Sun on and off when I wanted, problem solved!  LOL..

In the summertime it works out well though..  I run my pool pump (1200 watts) almost exclusively from the solar.   So waste is much less in the summer months

Hydrogen economy will sort many issues ( make and safely store hydrogen with excess power)
Bob Lazar shared years ago ( yes his corvette and tiny refill factory on you tube )
Plasma kinetics tried to bring out incredible hydrogen hydride storage !
It was suppressed for a decade or more under some profit incentives for fossil fuel


Run automobiles /trucks ( see caterpillar heavy equipment too)
,heat ,cool , stop burning atmosphere ...
Hydrogen economy ( I am told Japanese have methods ? Why they have  so much emphasis on getting hydrogen powered cars ... when the super safe metal hydrides come on line ..
Safe noncomustible ..not under pressure...forever storage !
Perfect transition fuel ..
Been suppressed...
Hopefully not much longer

Plus recent news from OZ on hydrogen production breakthrough...
Jaw dropping claims ..

There are lots of options if a person wants to get creative.

For example, I was looking at asic bitminers not for crypto but heating. A good crypto miner can produce enough income to offset the cost of the electricity and we get the heat for free as a waste product. In your case you would mine crypto with all your excess power to generate income. I was looking at the Bitmain Antminer S19 Pro 110TH which is rated at 3250 watts. I literally want max power consumption because I can get 3000w of heat for free. One watt is equivalent to 3.4 btu/hr thus 3000w is similar to running a 10,000 btu/hr gas heater. 

Given, crypto is a scam, a pyramid scheme but that hardly matters as most banking/stock schemes are also a scam. Most of these monetary systems have been corrupted and are designed to fleece there customers.

Think about it, why would anyone use a resistance heater or burn natural gas when our "heater" could be generating income?.
Do the math, https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/bitcoin/calculator

Energy is dynamic and all encompassing in it's nature. Heat is the lowest form of energy which the higher forms of energy tend to degenerate into. Thus all higher forms of electrical energy should do the maximum amount of work before degenerating into heat. Like so... highest form is electrical>>>practical work>>>process>>>lowest form is heat.

Good points AC

Put a couple if ice making machines in your back yard and contract
with local businesses.

Membership based electric vehicle charging for near by neighbors.

Like you said, get creative


Most "green hydrogen"  is a fossil fuel.

Crypto---  Possible..
Ice Machine / Charge neighbors Cars----  not so much..

Excess power is intermittent depending when sun / wind is around.  Excess power could cut off at any moment, ruining the ice batch / or stranding the person charging their car.

It would need to be used on some process that could be interrupted at any time and have no ill consequences. 

I have thought of Crypto mining before, as well as heat generation.  Limited daylight hours in the North East US winters ruins the party tho..  I will have to work the numbers.  Would price of ant miners and hardware needed pay back with the amount of excess I can produce in the winter, with respect of the huge cost savings of Oil heat vs Electric.
