Get a point of use alternative energy system. ... to power things in your house that run all the time. Like the refrigerator, your modem and your wifi router.

this is an especially good idea, as most internet setups don't pull more than 10W; generally, they'll keep working in a power outage too, if they're battery-fed.

Yeah, but YOU have to "fill" the batteries, somehow,

and THAT's going to draw at least 110

Even if they charge themselves while you're using whatever,

it's going to draw more than 10w

for fuck's sake, a contraption that charges deep-cycle batteries is what zoomie was talking about.  i was agreeing with what i thought was a good idea.

ps - don't confuse volts and watts.

Yeah, i sorta need to read up on electricity, don't i?

Sorry, about the interruption

<~ STFU'ing

i seem to have missed a whole page of posts...  <sigh>

go buy yourself one of these, and then come back to this conversation when you're more informed.

WOW!

But, if i find myself overflowing in money?

i'd probably buy THESE:

photonic routers will be avalible in a few years.

Is it just that i'm drunk and stoned, or



WTF does THAT mean?!?

Zoomie mentioned routers as a constant power source.

Routers are slow and power hungry: they convert the optic signal to elec.

The next gen of routers will be photonic. Using optics only to route traffic. The tech is proven. They will be rolled out in the high end within a few years.

You know what, though?

Fiber Optics have been tested and proven in MANY different fields ~

and yet,



WE STILL DON'T HAVE ANYTHING Photo Optic to "show for it" ...

Well, unless you count pre-lit Christmas Trees

You suck the motivation to post from my brain.

So you're saying that the real answer to saving money is to get a small Japanese lady to marry you?

I think "marry" is a cover up for him having "bought" a japanese lady to cook/clean/sex him.

Jap girls are expensive. You get more bang for your buck when you go west or south.

Is Fyrenza the new HJ?

Nope.

Just a cheap imitation,

if i can even come CLOSE...

Zoomie mentioned routers as a constant power source.

Zoomie mentioned WIFI routers and cable modems, which consume about 2 watts. You could almost run it from a torch (flashlight) battery.

The manufacture of these small, POU systems is only about $1000.00 and will easily pay for themselves in 12-18 months. I don't know what we're going to retail them with installation. Yet.

bahahaha

Actually you didn't use the word cable.

Yeah, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it you dirty McHeeb!

We're hoping to spend loads less in heating this winter by replacing the last few windows that need replacing, and insulating the exterior walls with blown-in cellulose, which is a lot of work.
By the end of yesterday I was exhausted and covered with caulk, which phonetically sounds like more fun than it was.

We're about 2/3 done.

I dont believe in electricity.

Sounds dirty too.

But we do believe in tinfoil hats and their effectiveness!

If I found myself overflowing in money I would buy a koenigsegg ccx and wish I were old enough to drive.

Ass.
