Have you ever found yourself thinking "I'd love to charge my laptop/tablet/other high power USB-C PD device in the car efficiently and without using a bulky inverter?" Well, that's exactly the problem the PWR+ solves. In my testing it's extremely efficient (64 watts from the battery to charge…
This trip I took my dog with me, and I have to say. Charlestown is an excellent park with some very good moderately techincal trails. Normally, I'd like to cover a little more distance but doggo really seems pretty tired so we'll call it good. I did take the opportunity…
Many of us have been conditioned over the years to buy the best, or the cheapest, or the thing that's never let me down before. Today, I'd like to talk about buying the "goodest" instead. 2020 was a rough year, and it demonstrated the outright greed and corruption in every…
First off, thanks for clicking through to read this. I know you're getting inundated with stuff about this topic, and I appreciate you taking time to read an #actuallyautistic perspective on what this day means. First off, because I think it's the most important thing. If you give money this…
I sort of already started on this project, before I really fully nailed down the goals and expectations. But that seems to be the way things go with me these days, so I'm alright with it 🙂. This year, in September, I'll turn 33. Before then, I want to visit and…
Ok, I have a good idea of what I want in a final electrical solution. It needs to be reliable, flexible extensible and it needs to have enough capacity that I don't have to worry about how I use it (within reason). Immediately, I knew I was going to go…
Ok, so the simple setup I started with fell flat. I'm a natural-born problem solver, and this is a problem I'm fully qulified to solve! So, what did we learn? We need much more capacityWe need faster charging, with more optionsSolar is unlikely to be successful as a single charging…
Back in Starting Electrical, I wrote about a simple solution to getting some power deployed in my van. This was excellent, as it gave me the ability to practically measure how I really used power with some test trips. What I discovered was what I needed wasn't necessarily a massive…
