Don't be the 7/11 guy sprouting nonsense

I thought it was 9/11? I never used to think the collapse of building 7 was suspicious until all this 'convid rubbish' came along but now I have my doubts ????

Methinks we're being played! If you still believe in freedom of the individual after all this baloney well good luck to you citizen! ????

Yes, but tell me more. Our power outage days are often dark and dreary rainy days. I don’t hink tesla walls are in Thailand or within my budget. What is plan B for storing power? We should be goid with 8 hours as a median outage time.

 

links?

yes avoid anything to do with Elon he's just out to get your cash lol

so joking apart, disclaimer I'm a techie guy rather than a solar expert but I do know that those new fangled Lifepo4 batteries are getting a lot of good press and the prices are coming down, this is one that I think @Crossy posted in another thread https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i2527489409-s8982895965.html

you need to make a list of what is important for you to keep running in a power cut and what your power requirements are?

ie here in France I'd just want to keep my fridge running, lighting wise just use led lamps and torches, they cost pennies nowadays

another requirement I can imagine out there is air con but again you can have a 'back up solution' ie something like this lol 

OR this vid might be worth a watch as this guy has quite a popular youtube channel and the vid is pretty recent

let us know your 'power requirements' and we can do some number crunching!

Good luck and have fun!

What about Antibiotics ?? no need for those either... what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right ???

have you been hiding under a rock? superbugs or antibiotic-resistant infections have been on the rise for years due to the overuse of antibiotics......most of the time they're not needed, your body is well capable of looking after itself......again your GP and big pharma have been too happy to take your money and mess with your long term health

Next you'll be saying statins are a good idea too ????

We don't have mains water, being surface water that is not too bad in the winter but take it from me the water from the well can take your breath away if not boosted a bit by the shower heater

how deep is your well out of interest? Any idea of the water temps in there?

I only ask cos I thought in the tropics the land temps were not much different to the air temps and that's why geothermal cooling systems don't make much sense

It is entirely possible there is an induced voltage between the supply ground and your grounding rod.

why do some countries supply a ground and other don't? ie France doesn't

And if you're supplied with a ground why are folks using a 'grounding rod' instead?

Yours confused lol

@Kwariumhave you considered solar panels and batteries? Added benefit of being silent come the zombie apocalypse ????

Really? Please provide a link.  If you cannot and are voicing your opinion,  you can do much harm.

I wear an FFP3 mask as recommended by my UK doctor and will continue to do so for as long as is neccesary

here you go, mind you it's only 1 scientist so YMMV https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/07/17/cloth-face-masks-comfort-blankets-do-little-curb-covid-spread/

are you currently in Thailand? Another piece of interesting info for you, sunlight actually kills viruses rather quickly lol

What I dont understand is why the Thai government didnt have the intelligence to pre-pay and mass order the vaccines back when western countries were doing this last yr. Absolutely useless bunch....

so you're upset now? imagine how you'd feel if you had 2 jabs and still caught delta variant? cos that's what's happening........

stay put......build up your supply of rations for when the whole thing gets even worse! ????

Ice Ice Baby!

cool! has it got a block of ice in it? how does it work?

If I do get around to building something out there I don't mind cycling to the local corner shop for a block of ice every day lol BUT are they that readily available?

@Crossythanks for the reply!

so are you saying a 750w air con unit is actually only pulling about 250watts? if so that's ace!!!

SO if I run em direct from panels during the day and only use the batteries at night, I could get away with needing circa 3kWh battery capacity?

Which would be say 6kWh of lead acid but say 4kWh for those new fangled funky batteries cos they can be drained a lot more?

let's say I have 3 solar panels of 375w each so that's 1125 watts total

Could I run a small air con unit say 500-750watt from them (or can I get one even lower consumption?) to cool a room say 3meters x 4meters and what battery capacity would I need to run it overnight too?

Thanks!

whats any of that got to do with what I was  saying?

you reckon we'll be safer with the vax! So I asked you for proof, then you ducked giving an answer by asking me for 'scientific evidence' so I gave you some!

So come on, give us your scientific evidence?

well I asked first! lol

where are all the dead bodies? here you go, more folks died in the 90s in the UK......let's see what cards you've got then 'Dr Jekyll'?

That as we  all know  vaccination does  not stop you recatching covid  but does  help with  making it way  less serious.

says who? some paid shill on the TV? or was it Klaus Schwab? ???? Where's your scientific evidence for this?

TIA

And yet, I'm not a renter .........

I've spread my risk using a Thai lady and a Thai bank.

(my total exposure is 300kbht + monthly mortgage 'rent')

so you bought the lady 'outright'? ???? If that money is in the bank what makes you think you'd lose it outright? Even when there's a 'bank run' you never lose all your money or do you see the Baht going the way of the Zimbabwe dollar anytime soon?
