@@mxslick50 Thank you. Appreciate your insight.

That is an option, but a lot of variables. What if the weather outside is overcast? Number of daylight hours during the winter vs the summer, etc. My goal was to keep the test simple and see how long the refrigerator could run solely on batteries. If the power outage was to last more than a day, then the solar panels and gas generator would come into play. Thanks for the comment.

​@@EdfromCaliforniaI see ok. I'm new to solar and inverters so doing alot of research at the moment and frying my brain with it all. This is a good video though and interesting. I'm looking for a simple soloar setup to run my house. I see you can get an extra battery for this unit that fits on top which they say would be enough to run a small bungalow with all appliances. Thoughts on this?? What sort of solar sytem setup do you have.

It would depend how energy efficient those "small appliances" are and how long you plan on running them. Anker has portable solar panels available to charge their power stations.

The only data I could find was an estimated yearly energy use of 716 kWh/year. I was not able to find any power data for the linear compressor.

@EdfromCalifornia Typically there is a sticker inside the fridge near the top shelf, right side. It will mention the running volts and amps. Multiplying those will give the running wattage, which should roughly correspond to the power draw the Anker is reporting while the fridge is running.

Ah, yes 🤦... the label reads 115V ~ 60Hz, 3.2A, 450W. Thank you. 🙏

​@@EdfromCaliforniaThank you for checking, and thanks for sharing this video!

Thanks. Not sure I can help you with an inexpensive recommendation. If you already have a home security setup, buying an extra camera is probably the least expensive way. My water bowl setup is using a spare security camera (Arlo) I had. The one drawback is the motion detection alert notifies me every time something is detected (bird, squirrel, cat, me ...). Most annoying. I haven't found a way to turn off the notification for just 1 camera, its all or nothing. If you don't already have a home security camera system, purchasing a simply setup is probably the next cheapest (Eufy, Blink, etc). Another option I can think of is using a trail camera setup. Don't know what they cost. I also heard that Windows 11 has or will have the ability to use a smartphone's camera. Its only at 720p and for using as a webcam conferencing. But perhaps a spare smartphone could be adapted to be used as a bird cam. Good luck. Hope this helps.

Thanks for this advice.

@@kellydoerr9725 and proud of it! 🤣

@@kellydoerr9725 darn squirrels!

I think the conference center used to be the steakhouse and the kayak place an Italian restaurant.

@@EdfromCalifornia Maybe, I was just a kid and moved in 88. I looked it up and I think the Charlie Brown's is now Club America Air Conditioning and Heating. I also feel like there was a general store in that building? It was like a general store geared towards nautical lifestyles? I also remember there was a mini-golf/arcade/go cart fun center right off 101 at the Seaport exit.

Thank you.

Both. And you can tell which pictures were taken with what camera.

Thank you. Turned out better than I thought.

Thank you. 🎃👻

Thank you!

Thank you.

It's all about the adventure ... and learning new skills. 😀

Yes. That was a fisherman walking back to shore. He did not catch anything.

Next year, a drive thru the Fantasy of Lights at the park? parks.sccgov.org/fantasy-lights-2023-drive-thru

Thank you.

👍

Glad you like them!
