if you dont like what a business or corporation does, never buy from them. never go there. if you feel extra strong about it, write a letter explaining why, and send it. then move on, and live in integrity. trying to get government to stop them increases the power of government and decreases your personal authority.

alot of people talking about freedom a surprising number of them want freedom only for the ideas they like, and want others to be forced to comply. this is because they are being crowd following, shallow thinking, bobbleheaded tyrants. 🙂 freedom makes you the authority over your own life. not others lives.

message from my wife: “one of our students is in a wheel chair and fell in the toilet so that was a problem. another fell on his skateboard and broke his face. his dad brought him here before surgery, with 8 staples in his head. i don’t understand. anyway, how was your day?”

ive been running these panel in parallel for a couple years. even before i put them on this stand. but ive been fiddling around and learning a litte more, and changed them to the left 2 in series, and the right 2 in series, and then the pairs get paralleled into the charge controller. it doubles the voltage, and lowers the amperage, which makes the current travel the cable better, so more power actually reaches the charge controller and battery. the input voltage range of the charge controller is 30-80 volts, so im within acceptable range. curious to see the effects when the sun comes up tomorrow. image

til, Nissan designed a race car that used a twin engine(ish) set up, where one engine was a flywheel(ish) storage and delivery device that spun a mass in a vacuum at up to 100k rpm. the set up was so effective, and had so much potential, the FIA banned it. cause that’s what bureaucrats do with innovation
