recharging an electric car with portable solar panels and running a satellite dish that connects to the internet through a global mega constellation of telecommunications satellites (one that a cell phone could connect to either via the dish or directly with a microwave link to the satellites) really is the definition of living 'in the future'. I could've scarcely imagined it all coming together like this even just 30 years ago in the mid 90s. I distinctly remember a day in 1994 when I was giving a demonstration of how an old helium neon laser worked to the class, the teacher interrupted me specifically to tell everyone that "there are a lot of these high-powered businessmen who think this is how we're going to talk to satellites with our car phones, but it's all just fantasy, it'll never happen!". Well, it happened. The lasers are gallium arsenide, not helium neon, and only in space between the satellites, but it happened.

Cool experiment. If I calculated the costs right, this setup cost about $10,500. If we estimate gas at $3/gal that gives us 3,500 gallons. Using 20mpg that puts us at 70,000 mi for break even. This actually seems like a pretty reasonable cost for the setup given the additional uses for the equipment and fixed costs relative to the variable gasoline prices.

*I make my own Liquid fuel everyday. I use grass and leafs and just ferment them to make Ethel alcohol. You need to do a Cellulose to Sugar conversion and fermentation is automatic. A week later my 1000 Gallon tank has 150 gallons of 99% Alcohol in it with my multi fuel injection vehicle runs just like gasoline. I Also make a very clean / water peculated wood-gas and use a paintball 250 bar compressor and bottle it. It's a very potent gas.*

I have a Ford Transit panel van that I've converted into a camper. I did some napkin maths and I think if I cover the roof and sides (hinged to fold horizontal) with panels and put a bunch of LiFEPO4 batteries underneath I could get up to 100 miles on a charge, and charge about 20-30 miles worth of range on a summer day. It's not far, I can go further on my bicycle, but endless van bimbling is an attractive prospect. I'll wait until engine number 3 blows up first, though...

Apparently tesla bought into a capacitor business a few years ago. Yes capacitors are larger than batteries but for rural places no reason why capacitor banks could be set up with solar to charge cars. I would have thought.

Instead of carrying a large power bank with you, it would be more portable if you use a hybrid high dc voltage input inverter with a power of around 10 kW.

@ahaveland 2 ай бұрын

No. MPPT charge controllers need to have a large battery to stabilize the power, feed the inverter and act as a buffer to absorb fluctuations. Without that, the voltage from the panels would just collapse and make the inverter useless. No point having a 10kW inverter if you can only give it 2kW. A 48V controller, battery and large inverter would be best. Doesn't need to have a branded powerbank, it can be homemade, and you can just source the other bits as i did.

only 30 to 60 miles per day? Fam, i can charge my (small) EV for at least 90 miles per solar day - with charging speeds / power comparable to yours / this device. Something is wrong with that setup ... my small EV "is" more efficient than a Tesla, but it still doesnt add up - im guessing what happens is you drive your EV very inefficiently. Driving efficiently is much more challenging than most people would assume / are willing to engage in because it forces you to drive very slowly - we're talking 60 mph max on the highway and less than 50 everywhere else; thats simply how energy efficiency works. Even in a Tesla.

Works as well for a combustion engine. I have a Suzuki Address 125CC Motor, and I keep hitting over 50km per liter (sorry, EU metrics). The tank holds about 5 Liter. The scooter itself is rather light weight, just about 100kg. Downside? Max speed is 90km/hour. Just enough but not really safe to drive on a motorway where cars do between 100 and 120 km/h. If you ride behind a truck, it is even more a win win: almost no wind (even some drag), and you do not need to go at the top speed. (do keep your distance unless you are sure your brakes are better than those of the truck). Sorry, no solar panel in this comment for me this time! This is more about efficiency.

This is the most compelling use case for battery powered cars I've seen. I don't see it ever being cost viable for ordinary people so long as we're reliant on lithium batteries, but maybe non-exotics like diamond super caps will bring the cost down and make it sustainable. I mean that model Y's battery is 3,500 phone's worth of batteries; that's dozens of lifetime's worth of lithium for one vehicle. Personally I think the near future is in methanol fuel cells because it's compatible with existing infrastructure and dramatically reduces the weight of vehicles; it replaces an 800 pound engine or a 3000 pound battery stack with a 50 pound fuel cell. Once the people revolt over the wasteful green subsidies/mandates companies will finally pursue the blatantly superior choice.

@Muonium1 2 ай бұрын

Li ion battery costs have been falling monotonically for decades at this point. It's not stopping. Fuel cell powered cars are laughably overcomplicated and inefficient, requiring several more energy conversion steps to get the energy to the wheels. Everyone has electricity in their house already. The last fuel cell powered vehicle in the US even available to buy, the Mirai is a joke on wheels at this point, costing hundreds of dollars to fill the tank at a mere half-dozen filling stations total nationwide. If you want methanol to work you have to solve the catalyst poisoning problem that still plagues PEM cells, good luck with that. Fuel cell vehicles hit the end of the road about a decade ago. It's over.

@@Muonium1 And the costs are approaching an asymptote, and is arguably already there. You'd have to be extremely disingenuous to assert it'd continue going down forever. Even if it falls by 25%, massively exceeding the trend, it still won't be economically viable for most people and it still won't be sustainable.

@Muonium1 2 ай бұрын

@ChaosSwissroIl there is simply no way we've reached the asymptotic limit of lithium battery costs yet when battery electric vehicles still comprise a mere 7% of all car sales. Additionally, why would you think fuel cell cars would be any better? They still need li-ion batteries and cost at least 2 to 3 times as much as BEVs! The Mirai is estimated to cost well over $100k to manufacture and they're selling every one at a massive loss.

@ChaosSwissroIl 2 ай бұрын

@@Muonium1 That's because it's a hydrogen powered vehicle and there is extremely low demand because there is no meaningful hydrogen network. A methanol network would be trivial to establish because methanol is compatible with the existing fuel network and just like how gas stations offer disel, E-85, normal, premium, and premium plus, they'd just need to swap out premium for methanol on a single pump the same as they do for E-85.

@ChaosSwissroIl 2 ай бұрын

@@Muonium1 As to why I say it's asymptotic is because for the past 6 years prices have stabilized to within 10%. The price has plateaued. Manufacturing has been optimized about as much as it can be so there aren't meaningful gains to be had. Likewise lithium battery chemistry has likewise been optimized about as much as is possible. So lithium batteries aren't going to become meaningfully cheaper.
