Sooo great to hear from you again. Your work is right in line with my sense of free will and independence. We can totally undermine the plans the WEF has for us by opting out and staying locked and loaded. Thanks Clif. Your devoted follower, Phil Gallant
Great thinking out of the box as usual Clif! I hope you can make time soon for another incisive Bitchute video! You do such wonderful, informative, and entertaining videos.
Having set up solar systems myself (mostly while living in Nevada), I can tell you that a 100 (assuming 12V) watt solar panel is not going to even come close to your needs. Especially in the PNW. There are some people I know in Canada who are doing solar north of Vancouver, but they are using 384W 24V mono panels in array, series connection to generate high voltages that can travel farther as a DC current. It's not super huge but it generates about 1000 KWh/month and covers the space of an average roof.
Some people make the mistake hooking panels like this up in parallel and wonder why they only get 2 amps (parallel connections increase amperage keeping voltage the same). It could be that the DC connection is too long for the low voltage of the panel. Generally parallel connections are only good in short distances (less that 25'). You also need an MPPT charge controller (not PWM used in many RV systems) if you want efficiency.
I agree with you that solar probably isn't sustainable for most of the planet. I personally like solar for my situation, but it's expensive and the battery production (especially Lithium ion) is hell on the planet.
I read your response with great interest, but have to admit, I didn’t understand the technical part of it. I live in southern Florida and want to get solar. I’m not sure how to proceed. My home is small, 1100 sq. ft. I know this is a big ask but would you help me to understand what I need to get as this is a huge deal for me. I take care of elderly family and my form of rebellion is to stay alive as long as we can.
How many KWh (kilo-watt-hours) are you using from your electric grid? For instance, where I live, I can get by on about 220 KWh. That's 220,000 watt/hours over the span of about 30 days. Divide this by 30 days and you get 7333 watt/hours per day. That's how much you should average per day during the daylight hours. In winter it will be different than summer. so you must make allowances for the lower daylight hours of winter in the northern hemisphere.
If we divide the 7333 by 12 hours of average daylight, that means that you have to generate 611 watts per hour during those hours. At noon it will be higher of course than at sunrise/sunset. There's about 6 peak hours where you will generate the most electricity on average. I have a 2220 watt array which is low by most standards. 6 210 watt panels and 8 120 watt panels. They are low power (12 volts) so I hook them up in series making sure not to exceed the voltage rating of the charge controllers I'm using (Renogy).
When you connect panels in series (+ to -) the voltage is additive while the amps remain the same. A voltmeter will tell you what the actual voltage is of the panels. 12V systems generally need at least 18 volts to push current into your battery (no current flows when the voltage is equal). All my 12 volt panels average about 20 volts (voc), so 6 panels added like this will give about 120 volts. This is under the 150 voltage ratings of my Renogy 60 and 100 amp controllers. To figure the amps of the array, just take the total wattage of the array which is 6 * 210 = 1260 then divide by the total voltage of the array which is 120. This gives 10.5 amps at optimum capacity (full sunlight at noon). I have 2 other arrays, one that is 6 panels hooked in series (720 max watts) and one that is 2 panels hooked in parallel.
The two panels hooked in parallel add the amps while keeping the voltage the same. For instance 240 watts/20 (voc) = 12 amps at max power. Standard solar panel wire of 10 AWG will handle up to 30 amps. There are gauge tables for the correct wire to use given the max current allowable in the circuit. The 100 amp charge controller has a 2 AWG wire (can handle up to about 130 amps). My 60 amp has 4 AWG wire. Use too narrow a wire and you will burn down your house.
You should have circuit breakers (DC not AC) that match or go slightly above the amps of the charge controllers I have a 100 amp circuit breaker for the 100 amp charge controller and 75 amp for the 60 amp controller (this goes on the positive terminal between the battery and charge controller).
You need to fuse correctly the panels as well. I use 15 amp fuses in both of my series arrays as they have a short circuit rating of 15 amps. If the short circuit fuse rating is higher than the max short circuit current of the array (more often the case in series connections), then you technically do no need a fuse for the array:
One of my arrays is 13 max short circuit current to 15 amp max fuse rating, so technically a fuse won't help but I put one in anyway. A parallel connection can often exceed the 15 amp max fuse rating though due to the addition of amps, so a fuse is a must. In my 12 amp parallel connection, it technically wasn't necessary either.
You will also need to size the batteries as well. Generally you need about 5 days worth of amp hours during cloudy weather. I should note that what works in Nevada, will not work in extreme latitudes all times of the year. I only have 800 amp hours so sometimes I have to shut down. Working to expand the battery using parallel connections.
You can use lithium ion and discharge more (generally recommended you don't go below 50% charge (or in my case about 400 amp hours). I really should have about 2000 amp hours at minimum. Sizing your battery bank and your inverter is another long section. I might have lost you a couple paragraphs back.
edit: I learned most of this stuff from Solar Mike in Slab City (near Niland, CA) in the mid 2000's. http://www.thesunworks.com/
You should also have a fuse breaker (disconnect) between your solar array and charge controller. Most inverters already have built in fuses, but it's a good idea to also have a fuse or circuit breaker rated to the max draw of the inverter. Make sure your batteries are capable of handling the draw. You will want thick wire for the parallel connects and inverter (at least 4 AWG). If the inverter can really crank (above 1500 watts), better look up the correct gauge.
Some MPPT charge controllers will allow you to connect directly to the load of the panels. My 60 amp Renogy can do this, but the 100 amp does not. The efficiency difference these days with MPPT controllers >98% makes this less of an issue. The best option if you're struggling with getting enough power is to downsize / make more efficient your device load.
Ahhh! Clif, I see . . .you are going from tree hugger to tree biodigestor. God bless you for never giving up.
I just believe getting Nikola Tesla's blueprints for Wardenclyffe Tower from Trump estate to rebuild his free energy model would be better suited for mass comsumption more quickly.
And if you persuaded Trump to relinquish the "plans" you could get credit by calling it WardenCLIF Tower 2.0.
For my house (construction of the domes to begin this week or next), I bought a home biogas system (the HomeBiogas 7), but that is essentially a liquid digester that captures the methane while producing organic fertilizer. What you describe here, to use slash and needles from timber operations, would be very cool! What DocDave07 ignores is your integration of the Tesla turbine to produce electricity. I'd prefer that to the diesel generator and PV panels I planned to install.
Excellent focus on RECREATION. People need to be inventive & patient (trial+error). Our New Earth we're actively creating isn't the old instant gratification. I applaud you Clif & know there ARE Others working/creating projects that interest them/harnessing their talents too. We're in amazing times of invention as we remember our Power & Sovereignty.
Clif, I have considered all you considered, except for that last part involving crafty electronic/electrical wizardry. My dead electronic/satellite guy husband would have understood your ideas. I have the plans for wood gas generation. My thoughts long ago devolved to wondering how a Swiss watch functioned until I finally understood enough, superficially, how my vision of an electric car could work. That line of thinking lead me to discover an Army research concept that was in the works. Think micro generators and motion...
Add in inefficiency, such as internal combustion having lets say 40%. that means you need 1Mj/0.40 which is 2.5Mj.....
Find out how much gas you can produce in an hour- that calculation above will be a way to see how much flow you need for that load. And extra can be in storage for dips.
I thought PNW might be a water power paradise, small streams everywhere and otherpower.com style alternators driven by simple water wheels. I stashed rare-earth magnets and magnet wire years ago, just in case, to construct windmills and water wheels.
I would not be surprised if those Vox Populi letters pissed someone off in the WA political establishment, enough to get the attention of the WEF enforcers to do something to stop Clif from making more ‘noise’ to wake up the sheep or to interfere with their plans.
My gut is telling me this is not him and hasn't been him in over a week...Starting with the Noos crap...That was madeup let sound like Cliff BS...I also wonder about some the comments on this tread...That has changed too...Where did all the technical minds come from.?
That is ridiculous. This smacks of Clif and is why I got involved. I have seen this before. Had people challenged Clif when he was prognosticating on cryptocurrency five years ago he would not have the following he has now. You Clif followers are dupes. You get mad when people warn you, people who have seen all of this before. I have never in my life seen someone who could baffle with bullshit like Clif. It is a true talent but it is misguided. I see him as a modern day PT Barnum. These suggestions that this is not Clif is likely Clif changing directions under cover.
The only way to get arpund this tyranny is to work on this in an open source fashion with many updates along the way. It's the only way you can get around tptb. Shine a bright light on it that all can see!
Clif, please have beefy security around you if free energy is what you produce!
Yeah, no shit. But maybe folks intent on creating actual green energy are the least of their problems nowadays?
Clif's father was with 101st Airborne, and he (Clif) grew up on military bases as a "military brat", he is predisposed to and has people connected to him (presumably) make sure all is copesetic regarding potential negative attention/energy being projected towards him
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It is only the first law of thermodynamics. He is safe.
No mention of 'free' energy, good old thermodynamics.

Be very careful.
It’s always good to have options- we can’t allow ourselves to be beholden to their systems. Thanks Cliff

The Tesla Turbine is a failed technology. The use of the word "Tesla" infuses woo (picture Nikola Tesla studying next to a gigantic electrical arc).
The Tesla Turbine is mentioned purely for dramatic effect and its inclusion should be seen as deceptive.

Wow Clif, you are an inspiration to us all, Have a great Father's Day. Stay safe. You do keep the gray cells working OT.
He inspires me to write fiction in a way that attracts loving fans.

Brilliant as usual Clif. Thinking like Poindexter and sharing your beautiful mind with all of us. TY, looking forward to your progress. Carry on.
Clif, I have considered all you considered, except for that last part involving crafty electronic/electrical wizardry. My dead electronic/satellite guy husband would have understood your ideas.

Biomass burners....yep, makes sense to me. It's what we got.
Think in watts instead of amps and you'll see how much fuel you need.
Let's say your 9 amps X 120v, thats 1080 watts.
Run something at that rate for an hour its 1080 watt hours.
2 hours, doubled and so on.
So a watt hour is the real measurement of energy usage, because its the energy being used in a certain time frame.
You can take those watt hours and convert them to joules, BTU, barrels of oil, whatever
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wh+to+joules&ia=answer
Let's say you need 1Mj
Add in inefficiency, such as internal combustion having lets say 40%. that means you need 1Mj/0.40 which is 2.5Mj.....
Find out how much gas you can produce in an hour- that calculation above will be a way to see how much flow you need for that load. And extra can be in storage for dips.
