Thanks for getting back to me with your experiences! Would you mind filling me in on any dos and donts of the people up there? are there any weird sort of "etiquette" things I should be aware of that are unique to Baltimore and Maryland?

I had no idea. Thanks for telling me! is there any other odd laws I should be aware of? My mentor has agreed to let me stay in his dive way in a gated community, but I am not sure about plugging in for power.

LOL I imagine it could be fun to have a big convoy of vans and RVs rolling up to capitol hill.  "hey guys, we are just here to watch the show". I was under the impression that Baltimore got well under -15 C  during the winter for days or weeks at a time? are you just immune to refrigeration or...

@ Almost There Thanks for the helpful advice! any specific brands or items you could point me towards? besides the buddy I mean. Do you know why I might need a kevlar vest?

Hello everyone of the community! I have been fulltiming in my van in Texas for about a year now. I am used to warm climates and bright blue skies and open spaces. I am moving to Baltimore, Maryland in a few weeks for work. What should I expect, what gear do you recommend, and how do I make...

I am not using grade school arithmetic, I am building a worst case scenario using statistical probabilities for someone my age, education and approximate social standing and intelligence. I can defy the odds with enough persistence, but only so much in a limited time span. The way I figure, it...

Thanks for the tips, I am not in my natural state when vlogging, it still feels weird since I am so used to being anonymous or psudononymous online. I am a big supporter of FOSS and decentralization of major services, so I will probably move over to LBRY as soon as possible...and I will take...

Lol my dad was an automechanics and woodshop guy. I love him to death.  There is always this disconnect between what engineers and scientists can design and what it is actually feasible to fabricate...the technicians and machinists probably know this fact most personally.  I often wish my...

I have been busy lately. I made a movie instead of trying to squeeze 4k photos into 2mb file limits or setting up shoddy hosting... Forgive me for my negligence. Enjoy. I may post regular updates to the channel about stuff that happens or just whenever I want to talk about something for...

Sorry for the long delay everyone, My photo album is proving to be a bit finicky. I have taken all 4k photos, So i am having to down scale them to fit on this forum. I think I am just going to link to an external site to show these pics, that way things are little faster and smoother. Thanks...

This thread is dedicated to the construction pictures and ramblings of a young physicist as he builds a literal vehicle to financial freedom. EVAN-01 is a 1998 dodge ram 3500 extended cargo van, equipped with a 360 C.I. engine (nicknamed S-2 engine) 4 speed overdrive transmission and 4.11...

I would say I have been. Thanks to all of you for the time and energy. That build thread with pics will be arriving shortly.

Should I be concerned about them? What is bad about them?

I was planning on using something like below...called a T- Tap connector I think, then heat shrink wrapping it with some outdoor nylon wrap, to connect the panels to the big #4awg mains via 6 pairs of MC4 to Bare Connectors. As for running through the roof, I have a Solar Cable Gland already...

I am an Immortalist and Transhumanist among many others. I am a cryopreservation member of Alcor Life Extension Foundation. http://www.alcor.org/ Just in case anyone asks, the library has all the answers to all your questions if you have any regarding this choice, and covers virtually every...

Spiff hit the nail on the head, My solar array does 'just' fit into the operational envelope of my CC.  However, no one has tackled my previous question yet, and that is regarding the safety of using two large leads to handle all the current and feed it back to the charge controller. I want to...

Where do I find one of these crimpers and are they necessary? Also, why is the listed current on the panels so much lower than the theoretical current you describe here and why would the morningstar technical support people tell me the controller would handle my load, when I gave them the specs...

You are just about right there, But I was planning on using MC4 to bare connectors I make myself. I have 10 gauge wire and the MC4 connectors to spare. It would be something like this below that gets used to connect the solar panel's existing MC4 connectors to the two main #4 AWG cables. I would...
