Working late at the shop to conjure up an extreme power system capable
of delivering 320-350 amps (on 12 volt) of (hopefully reliable) D.C.
madness...

"POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

I love working late at night because there's nobody around to
interrupt the projects. And specially if there is a thunder/lightning
storm aproaching- people will drive by the shop and see the lights on
at 10 or 11:00 PM (sometimes later) and they know that Dr. Frankentim
is in the evil lab.......

I know just the place for testing it out once it's perfected. :-)

You need big batteries and big wire.

Eh, my plans got foiled. Found out I have too much other stuff to do
this evening, but will carry on later. Interesting conversation I had
with a very experienced Leece-Neville technician today. He gave me a
lot of insight on power management in the heavy/high output
alternator systems. Now exploring other options...

Today was a good day!

Hey man, I've been there...

One of the most favorite events was to take my old 28' Chriss Craft
Cavilier out in the middle of he lake during a nice spring rain shower
and just sit. Either dusk or dawn and listen to the rain hit the cabin
top and the surrounding water.

Very therapeutic.

The big switchers in the water cooled computers did that sort of
thing. They were 400 hz (in) tho, to keep the inductors a reasonable
size and to make filtering easier., They were noisy som bitches tho.

They were lower voltages .

hmmmm, yeah. I knwo about noisy. Noting sings like a good 300 amp unit
at full bore. Whistles like a turbo charger!

That's it man, they're already there. Now we need something to push
through it!
