Answer» Hye everbody! Hye everbody! You are missing some components Batteries (many 4 a computer) = storage Regulator so you don't overcharge the batteries And whenever you are talking about inverting from DC to AC I think you lose like 30% of your energy, meaning your inverter needs to be at least 30% more powerful than your needs. To set this up to work efficiently since it is a desktop so you will need a monitor, you are probably talking about $1200 to $1500 It is a great concept but technology isn't there for the common man/woman to use cost EFFECTIVELY. Keep that MIND thinking though, it is people like you that will make a difference in this world and help things change for the better If there's a will there is a way! Well, me being from the "other camp" > where is the one utilizing NUCLEAR and water cooling nice idea*If you are using the PC for only a few hours a day, a solar panel, a couple of deep phase batteries, and a good inverter would work. The solar panel would only be used to charge the batteries, the batteries would supply the actual power (through the inverter). Dividing the panels rated wattage by its rated voltage will give you the current output*. That would be the charge rate for the batteries. You would probably need a charge regulator. This would prevent the possibility of overcharging the batteries and also prevent any backfeed to the panel. It would work without a regulator. That is a safety precaution. *example: A panel rated at 12V and 36W would give a 3A output.First of all thanx 4 the replies Of course I need a battery (wanted to use a car battery) Lol I 4got that TrapperX: According to *this SITE* I think I would get the parts I need under $1200 ;-) P.S.: R u a Heroes fan ? Guys thanx again for the hints on charging the battery*thumbs up*, but where should I connect the charge regulator ? (between solar panel and battery or between battery and inverter) Quote from: Jeronimo_Mc_Kinsley on May 25, 2007, 01:04:48 PM
How could you tell I think it is one of the best shows out there right now. Great writers, very creative and I love the way they ended the season. I think they should have done a 2 hr season finale though to really tie things up this season, but they did a good job with the time they had. I can't wait until next season. I am a BIG SciFi fan. I also watch: Battlestar Galactica Stargate SG1 & Stargate Atlantis Dr Who Eureka The Dresden Files Some older shows Andromeda Enterprise X-Files |
