Your Questions About Solar Generators For Sale
Donna asks…
What are other good investments for the meltdown of western civilization?
Since were 57 trillion in debt and it is continuing to the point when hyperinflation knowck the dollar down to pennies of it’s current value. Besides guns, ammo, gold, and non-perishable food items? I can’t buy gold I don’t have that kind of money. 2 of the 4 I listed I’m pretty good on but what more can I do? I have gasmasks and am building a solar oven and generator from old car parts.

Recently there was another report that discussed a shortage in the USA on ammo.

Much of this buying frenzy has been out of concern that Obama will at one point try and take down or strip US Citizen Constitutional rights from the 2nd Amendment

I am not sure if the gas masks will be able to stop viruses.
Do you have an underground shelter yet? (kidding, sort of) 😛

I don’t know which Flag Burning Demo put the thmbs down, but the sources of this article are cited for reference.
Lizzie asks…
Can i convert a solar charge controller into a wind turbine charge controller?
I am building a wind generator and it turns out the system needs a charge controller. There a some on sale but I’d rather build or modify one myself. I pulled one out of a solar lamp. It has two ports, one for the input, whose input voltage range was 6-12v and and the other, output, with 6 volt output.The lamp used a 4 volt battery. However, the generator is a 30 volt ametek (capable of supplying up to 28 volts on a good windy day), and the battery am going to use as a bank is a 12 volt UPS one. Am just wondering if this controller will deliver on my wind turbine system, and where to connect the dummy load because I’ve heard solar controllers don’t use dummy loads yet they are essential on wind turbine systems. Thanks
admin answers:
A solar lamp will likely simply be a small voltage regulator, not a good choice. I would use a power FET, a zener diode, two transistors, a capacitor and maybe some resistors but then again, I’m an electrical engineer and actually know what I’m doing.
The UPS batteries are lead acid batteries which you can buy for about $12.
I think, you should stop and get an education before you hurt yourself.
