Well I'm like everybody else what was the cost

@LetsOverthinkThis 12 сағат бұрын
Indeed everyone seems to care but I'm not sure why.... The price changes ENORMOUSLY depending on geological conditions, labor rates, ease of access etc, so it won't even be a ballpark for you. But people do seem to care. $50k and change was the cost

My 10 oz Ember exploded on me today! Luckily i I had put it the sink but the fire & smoke were pretty intense and I'm fortunate not to have been burned.

@ I had just taken the cup from my Kurig and put it on the counter in order to throw the pod away. My wife heard a "pop" . I discovered a small hole in the cup’s base. I put the cup in the sink and sparks started flying from the base. Then it exploded with fire and smoke. It completely melted the base. Soot &ash were all over the kitchen. I was amazed that I wasn’t burned at all. Close call!

Ingenious idea!! How much energy do you pull from these panels laying flat like that?
@LetsOverthinkThis
@LetsOverthinkThis 3 күн бұрын
Yield is almost perfect in summer with the sun overhead but in winter the angle is obviously pretty wrong. Days are shorter which also cuts yield but my guess is the lower sun angle vs panel orientation probably kills a third of production.

Your channel name caught me. Very thorough presentation and explanations, thanks! The main difference here in N Cal is that a bentonite seal is required for the first 20 feet (not concrete). And we use a stainless wire for hanging the pump, with continuous poly pipe. $10k for 220', which is "well" worth it.

Hi Jesse, Do you think the batteries can be replaced on this with some tinkering? I saw a KZbin video in which a guy opened the ember travel mug. There are hidden screws at the bottom on the travel mug. Not sure about this one. There has to be a way to replace the batteries. Most reviewers are not engineers like you, so you are the perfect person to ask this.

I don't know for sure since I don't own one but the issue is likely not whether you can remove them but what batteries you'd replace them with. My bet is that the battery in it is a custom lithium pouch and not standard cells. If I'm right it wouldn't matter if you could swap it since nobody would sell you that pouch. At any rate sorry to say my guess is that you're out of luck 😢

@LetsOverthinkThis
@LetsOverthinkThis 24 күн бұрын
25 mph or so very regularly (every week or so) and probably 50 or 60 once a year. It is a high wind area which means 120mph is possible. I wouldn't expect the magnets to survive that. This is a temporary mounting solution.

You can't pull a building permit here without your own water, a policy I agree with. Though you are grandfathered in if your well runs dry. So it's a moot point, but it would certainly be cheaper in the short term 😉

What internet service are you using? I can't get any wifi camera to work unless it's on the internet. Below us my issue. You don't want these floodlight camera if it's wifi because none work when Internet goes out leaving you with NO LIGHT and NO SECURITY. They can make the camera and light work without internet so you at least have your light and camera local for security like you can connect to a printer by wifi without internet. Don't buy ANY wifi light camera unless they allow them to work when the internet drops. I found this out the hardway when a hurricane hit us we had power but internet dropped then we had ZERO outside light or Security. So to disable your security and light all someone has to do is just cut your internet.

Standing water was quite a bit higher (something like 180 feet!) which is even more impressive. We just only were able to check after they had drilled to 480 and pulled out all of the drilling rod!

$55k or so but this varies literally by neighborhood depending on geology, altitude, ease of access etc. I would definitely not use this as any guide for what it costs in the southwest United States. It could be $15k or $70k depending....

So I noticed that they using galvanized steel pipe in this well. I myself wouldn't use any galvanized metal parts in my well or my house I've had that at the water meter and the galvanized pipe rusted out so I got my sheval out and dug a hole and had a plumber come out replaced the galvanized with brass pipe. Problem solved.

The 600 feet that conveys water is sch120 PVC with stainless steel couplings. there is only 20 feet of steel at the top, surrounded by concrete to keep the well head in place and prevent contamination. Where did you see galvanized?
