Hello

Hi Grooveman, What area of the forum are you interested in? I'm interested in renewable, doing some work, but hard times you know?

[grooveman]

Renewable energy. I have been dabbling in this for the past couple of years now.

New batteries

So is that a link to your web site and your spamming? Or is that a site you think will help builders here? Here's a link with info someone might like to see, if you haven't yet.....Bacterial Breakthrough Could Lead to Cheap, Renewable Bio-Batteries - FoxNews.com

Thanks for the welcomes..

Hi Grooveman, If I may ask, What is your background or interest of renewable, do you have any projects working currently? I've built Imhoteps Fans, A few Jewal thiefs, and a Bedini monopole motor......

I initially became interested in renewable energy when I bought a cabin out in the middle of nowhere and needed a way to provide enough power for a few small appliances. So I set up a small off grid system there.
I don't have any projects currently in the works right now. When I finally get to where I am going to live permanently my plan is to try to power my home 100% with renewable energy.

K?

Hi Grooveman,..So you were off the grid in the middle of nowhere with a roof, what happened to make you give that up? I think if you want to do something simple start with a Joule thief, pretty common circuit, very interesting. I've been using one as a voltage amp to run my mini SSG from a 1.25 v nmh and I just got an idea from a post on here today that I'm gonna use to reduce my input voltage even more to make better use of my mag amp, but anyhow, like I said start with the J T,...

[grooveman]

Well the cabin was just a place to get away from it all, but life forces me to live in the city now. I will read up on the joule thief..
