Living Off the Grid in the City Radio Show (Legacy)

Combination circuits are just series and parallel circuits combined into one circuit. So the same series and parallel circuit rules, Kirchhoff's Laws and Ohm's Laws apply. The key is to know how and where to simplify the combination circuit. There may be more than one option for you to simplify a combination circuit. Here we discuss how to simplify combination circuits to find all of the r...

Parallel circuits are thoroughly discussed in relation to ohm's law and the values of resistance, voltage, power and current. For voltage, it remains the same at each parallel junction. For current, it adds up in parallel circuits. For resistance, it is a bit more complicated, the total resistance is smaller than the lowest resistance in the circuit. And, since there are more paths for the cur...

Here are discussed the formulas, rules, and concepts for the series circuit. These apply to series circuits that include a power supply, such as a battery, resistances, such as light fixtures, and current. Here, Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s law come to life. These laws can be used to find any one missing value in a series circuit. As long as at least two of the three values are known. In a series cir...

Fuel and food costs have skyrocketed lately, and most of us are suffering through this period of reckless idiocy. Here I offer a few tips on how to minimize the pain and limit the overspending in fuel and food. To save on fuel: Slow down and drive easy, don't drive as often, walk or bike when safe, and drive a small car if possible. To save on food prices. Stop eating out, no junk food, and ye...

Chapter 5 – This chapter introduces the 6 main sources of electricity and details the sources from chemical action and light. The voltaic effect is explained, and batteries are thoroughly discussed. Also, battery parallel and series connections are introduced. Also, the photovoltaic effect is discussed. Electricity & Electronics - Complete course.

Here I discuss my latest home design project for an efficient home. I chose the triangular extrusion shape in lumber framing; for cost, feasibility and practicality of its design and construction. I equipped the home for optimum efficiency for a moderate climate location. This home is small, 3 rooms total. And it is completely self-sustained and off the grid. It has solar energy and LPG powered ap...

Here are some basic troubleshooting steps for finding and fixing ground faults in the T-MEIC Inverter- PV system.

This audiobook discusses the reasons for colonizing space. By "colonizing space" I argue that we must persistently inhabit at least one orbiting habitat for several important reasons. Primarily for the manufacturing and launching of deep-space craft. Secondarily for energy production; research; development; and human expansion. Here I argue that it is more feasible to build space habitat...

How to find and repair ground faults in solar PV systems. An article by Fluke.com/Renewable energy/Solar power. See link below. Here I read the entire article and present meticulously prepared diagrams and photographs to help you find and repair ground faults in a utility scale PV system. This procedure may help you find and repair ground faults in smaller, commercial or residential PV systems. Th...

Living Off the Grid in the City Radio Show (Legacy). Here I discuss off grid batteries and PV systems in some detail. How flooded lead acid batteries work is explained. Also, battery bank connection options and their use is discussed. I go over why loads may be more convenient. Lastly. I discuss advantages of rooftop and ground based PV installations. https://www.youtube.com/hbcsolarpvtechbyron ht...

Living Off the Grid in the City. Here I discuss methods, options, and some requirements; to have, or build, a home off the grid and have it be self-sustained. Most homes are on “life support”, depending on an array of “connected” services such as for water, fuel, energy, sewage. But, here I argue, how this does not have to be the case. It is possible to have your home, your most significant and bi...

On this last episode of this series, I discuss the possible human factors on an interstellar voyage, and how they may affect the mission. I also discuss just a few of the possibilities of humanity among the stars. By Hector Vladimir 2025©

Challenges with Interstellar Travel – Giga-power sources, automation, and space medicine. In this episode, as a layman I explore a few still-valid and major hurdles that prevent us from moving forward with plans to travel to other star systems. Those of inadequate power sources, weak and far-behind automated or highly-autonomous systems, and our lack of ultra-advanced space medicine systems. An ef...

Earth based rocket system are wholly inadequate to launch star bound ships. Their size and complexity make it prohibitively resource intensive. So, in orbit structures are necessary to build and launch interstellar ships. Sadly, we are hopelessly unable to even begin building such structures. Our current energy production and other requirements keep us far short of the mark. Interstellar travel wi...

Here, I explore NASA’s five hazards of space flight. Radiation, gravity fields, distance from earth, isolation, and hostile environments. Radiation. The large and severe hazard of radiation. Ionizing radiation is zipping through space unabated and endlessly from the moment we leave the earth's protective atmosphere and magnetic field. It causes all kinds of harm to cells which cause deadly illness...

EVs are quieter and have a smoother, and more responsive ride. And, EVs are simpler, easier to maintain, and cheaper to service. EVs are much more efficient than ICEs, making them a smarter and environmentall...

Living Off the Grid in the City. Top 10 reasons why you should choose an electric vehicle EV over an ICE. EVs are, hands down, a better choice for those ready to start driving a personal, or commercial vehicle. EVs cost less to own and operate on average, with some exceptions of course. EVs cost less to maintain because there are generally less systems to maintain. Also, charging an EV is still ch...
