Love this topic . Love info. Ty , am going to hope my wet cells are up to some demands , against a inverter , cold cranking hours what not, versus , surge draw . Am hoping to initially just try to support various .low amp draw 12 volt , 5 volt Dc applications . , batteries ,, might look at australias Red cell z wave batteries . Little pricey , but claims are impressive .
My system is based on some very old 14 volt in direct sunlight output . But as written before ,area only has solid sunlight in areas for panels, for approx 5 hours . Old aerospace panels. No amp output tested yet. And , am pretty sure 5000 watt inverter will suck wet cells dead in 1/2 hour probably . But am owning 300 watt also .. long term , am living in area requiring air conditioning , health requirements too .. big squirrel cage blower . Am , considering test out home made. Air con. unit as a by pass in the air ducting. ( Unit automotive condenser unit, aluminium . Finned high density ), running ice water through it . Or water and glycerin . Pumped through a portable auto motive refrigerator. 12 volt.
Possibly the squirrel cage motor maybe 12 volt car starter unit. My goal is to reduce inverter usauge as much as possible as system expands . Was hoping to use multiple peltier panels . But amp draw is not as good as hoped . Thank You for your patience with my going on about this.
And yes am soliciting criticisms ?? Please

Hmmm. Interesting. When I was a kid, before most homes had A/C, my dad made a chiller out of a bomber aircraft radiator. It lived in the basement, and a fan sucked air through it and up through the ductwork that the central heat used in the winter. The only downside was that every day we had to go downstairs and bail out the water that had condensed on it out of the tray it sat on, or it would overflow all over the floor. But it definitely cooled the house down!

Thinking back on it, I can't remember it being attached to the well or any other water source. But it must have been or else the air flowing over the vanes would have warmed up the water in the radiator and it would have no longer worked. But I don't remember well enough. (Its been well over 50 years now, unfortunately, and the memory is spotty back that far.)

Tyvm .. getting a automotive refrigerator might be serious amp draw..
You dad , sounds brilliant .

אני עדיין לא יודע מה אני אעשה מחר

אמרתי לג׳וש אתמול שאני רציתי לנסוע לפורט אנגלס)

וויקטוריה. אי וונקובר. קנדה

אני מצטער, אבל אני לא עושה עברית.
