Thats a great size for an off grid cabin. Nice layout too.

Let me give you an idea so you have one less thing to worry about powering as much through solar. Look.inti Geo-thermal... which is laying either 100 ft straight PVC pipe in to the ground with screens on both ends of pipe one end sticking out if the ground with some sort of housing over outside pipe (or get make the outside end curl towards the ground still yet with fan) with a computer fan powered by solar power or lay straight 100 ft 4.5 ft underground with a series of bends in a smaller square hole. I'd say start with a 3-4 inch diameter pipe and reduce it down to a smaller diameter pipe going into the cabin. With outside pipe as same as described earlier, doing something to keep rain out of pipe, both ends with screens. I think you have to have a two pipe system though. One to let cool air in from the ground and one to let warm air out. But the pc fan is just forcing air into pipe. And doing this vs an actual A/C UNOT Wlwould be much cheaper than a window unit. It's what I plan to do with my cabin...

Everyone one should read the book One Second After by William Forstchen. I'll cheat and use the Wikipedia description: "The novel deals with an unexpected electromagnetic pulse [EMP] attack on the United States as it affects the people living in and around the small American town of Black Mountain, North Carolina." This book is kind of scary to think that something like this could happen. For those who may not know about EMPs this is what you were talking about.
@offgridwithalexanderthegre51577 ай бұрын
Sounds interesting. I've heard that an emp attack would lead to up to 70% mortality within 9 months, mostly from starvation. Big cities would be an absolute hell hole.

@@offgridwithalexanderthegre5157 You hit on a couple of the things from the book. Luckily they were in a town up in the mountains close to Ashville. There are three sequels: "One Year After", "The Final Day", and "Five Years After" so there is some follow up to show what could happen after an attack.

What is the wattage of your well pump? How deep is it? What kind of inverter are you using? I have 300ft deep well and 1HP pump and want to design a solar/battery powered backup system. My research tells me that my well pump's steady state current is 9A at 240V and the in-rush could be as high as 50Amp, so it may require 12Kw at start up.
@offgridwithalexanderthegre515711 ай бұрын
Better off with a slow start d.c. pump kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap23eGhtbtdll7Msi=XD7V-L354GUXke9j
@offgridwithalexanderthegre515711 ай бұрын
The depth of the well is irrelevant. The head of water is what matters. A.c. well pump will require large inverter, more batteries and more solar panels. I have a solar well which is not ideal for heavy after dark or cloudy day water use, but is adequate.

What state? And does your county allow this as full time housing or restrict it to a 3 season camp?
@offgridwithalexanderthegre515711 ай бұрын
Virginia. It's a four season residence. If your state or county has those kind of restrictions, then you're in the wrong state for liberty.

The well is solar with 24 volt battery back up, and is self contained. It's not on my main solar system and runs on d.c. power. Check out my water vid.kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap23eGhtbtdll7Msi=XD7V-L354GUXke9j
