Oh my, 6000W used by a medieval dryer; I remember these things from 1999 when visiting Canada; is this a still considered 'current' in US? A modern day heat pump dryer uses less than 600-700W PEAK (and less than 1kWh) to completely dry 8kg in about 2-2.5h (cotton), including steam injection into the process to take care of the wrinkles and requiring barely ironing. Battery looks good though. Nice test.

It's called math guys. I supposed there's something tangible about watching this stuff, but the result was predictable as the day is long. To the guys who are freaking out about the 120 amps of current draw, and thinking about checking the home's wiring, the wiring between the battery and inverter is the only place where the current is that high. From the outlet to the dryer' at 120VAC, is roughly 50A split between two wires, so 25A per wire.

Wow, that dryer reminded me to beef up the wires and breakers in our house. It eats more amps than my diy-grade welding machine.

@BradCagle 2 күн бұрын

Good, idea! Would depend on the installed GPU's, and what algorithm. Can do some math, if you had 12 GPU's pulling 100w each for 1200w total. The battery has a capacity of 5,120Wh, so 5120wh / 1200w = 4.266 hours. Probably a little less depending on inverter/PSU losses. Thanks!

@@BradCagle This was something I was playing with back in 2021 when I wanted to run three 3070 Ti's. Total system draw was around 750 watts when K-Heavy Hash was still GPU mineable, so I would need three of those batteries to safely keep the rig powered overnight until I got enough solar to power the rig, and charge the batteries back up. It would be about a $12,000 to $15,000 system miner not included. Since there is nothing that is GPU mineable now, I gave up after running the numbers, because the ROI would take an eternity. Your average Bitcoin ASIC draws 3000 watts so it would take almost 7 of those batteries to keep it going overnight, and a pretty big solar array to get it back to full charge while keeping the ASIC going. It still works out to be a losing game though since the network difficulty fluctuates up and down constantly and there is the luck factor in hitting a block, and the price fluctuation, and the reward halving every two years. The ROI wouldn't be nearly as bad as a GPU rig, but more than likely if you had a kid at the time you started mining on this setup, then they would graduate college before you hit your ROI.

You're doing your viewers a great disservice by recommending these Cheap, Chinese-made, high-frequency, transformerless inverters. Not only do they offer a shorter life expectancy and a far poorer surge capacity, but they can also be dangerous for use in full-time residential applications. Ask Google AI: Can high-frequency, transformerless inverters be dangerous for use in residential applications? If you doubt what I'm saying.

Just one observation, if you take both signals from the smaller panels into a small computer, Arduino, Raspberry Pi or even a small PLC, you can control more accurately and smoothly the actuator motor using either servo or basic analog output signals through a DC driver.

@johncaldwell277 6 күн бұрын

I seems to me that you have to be careful not to let full sun on both panels at the same time. If you do, they will fry! Perhaps a couple of fuses should be added to be safe. Choose the fuse size to match the panel rated current.

None of these cheap high frequency, transformerless inverters are any good. High-frequency inverters like these inverters offer a poorer surge capacity and a much shorter life expectancy than real inverters that use low-frequency, transformer-based technology. In addition, high frequency inverters don't use an output transformer to provide galvanic isolation, so when its MOSFETs fail, these inverters fail, they can easily damage the appliances that are plugged into it. No thanks.

I messaged them and they say it's jbd BMS and Guoxuan High tech cells which I think is same as gotion. To have 160ah in a group 31 is what more companies need to do cause most rv's take this size but most batteries are only 100ah.
