When it isn't needed for an emergency, offer free power to low income communities.
We could really use a couple of those in the flood damaged areas here in NZ right now! And that’s a reasonable price for these!! We should have one in every fragile community and currently that’s most of the country on a rolling basis!
I'd scrap the hydrogen generator for more solar, add a satellite phone in addition to the installed Wi-Fi, and place many LifeSaver jerrycans inside to filter as much water as possible. But cool idea.
“It is not possible to make wine without power”. The CNET editing team really did her dirty.
I love the idea of solar power and hydrogen fuel cell. Though, I the case of emergency I think diseal generator would be a better solution for rapid deployment and short term use. Diseal is high energy and easy to transport, as compared to batter or hydrogen, it is more fitting and more efficient per pound (because hydrogen storage takes a lot of space for relatively small amount of hydrogen and battery is dead weight once its dead). It is also more resistant to weather as it doesn't need solar to generate power nor needing to spend extra energy to keep the batter warm. However I can see it being useful for events of long term use. Such as low maintenance stationary power backup or useful for operations that takes weeks or months.
@@EngageYourFrontalLobe you need energy input to do it regardless. I do not see the benefit of storing excess electricity in the form of hydrogen over storing in battery, due to the method of hydrogen storage needing complicated system to maintain temperature/ pressure (and fuel cell efficiency). Sure, you can transport hydrogen to refuel the system, but why use the more expensive hydrogen when you can use diseal instead. Green hydrogen surely exists, but in case of emergency I think it's more wise to allocate resources on the cheaper, easier to access and more reliable option that can be distributed to more people.
Yes, but you need to have excess energy to begin with. The point of the hydrogen system is to store energy that can be use later. If you want to store energy, why not use battery instead? A hydrogen system isn't more cheaper than batteries, most notably, the membrane catalysis that is often made of pt. Despite fuel cells based on fluorine or sulfur are in development, but they're as far away as the next generation of batteries. Besides all, the water to H2 conversion requires pure water, an extra step that requires energy. With all the extra equipments and energy cost that needed for the hydrogen system to work, why waste your precious energy on hydrogen instead of battery?
What a great idea!
I’can’t wait to charge my coffee maker.
Cost creates limitations. We need assembly lines to bring cost down.
"Wine can't be made without power"
Hilarious
What's hilarious about it, dummy?
during a natural disaster, the last thing I want to do is use water to create Hydrogen. Solar and battery storage is enough
It’s like something from Command and Conquer
Would be interesting to know in the span of a year what the total use of the hydrogen backup. My guess, residual and could be avoided by using more battery capacity for less capital.
Ideal in Europe wintertime.
I thought it was made for the US during hurricane season when it's warmer. What about snow?
This great! When is it’s going to be developed for off the grid living?
Impressive 😊
550w 38~42v dc is how much a single current generation solar panel can achieve today that you can buy in single or by the pallet amounts, daytime operation business can practically switch to solar with ease today each panel costing 300usd or less in bulk.
In the UK for example it's about 11-15k GBP of raw hardware can power most homes with a 2000w 24/7 load easily and it's very quickly becoming a very sane way to cut out the grid entirely and avoiding hyper inflation.
Very innovative
That’s awesome!!! 😊
Can this be towed by the CyberTruck? If so, is it possible to extend use it for charging?
Nice question, seems so to me
The generator is one of those pieces of technology that won't be snuffed out so easily (if it ever does). When it comes to portable power, it is unmatched. It is not wrong to use to use the right tool for the problem at hand.
the governor banned them...
pretty strange
Good article , but there was no need of adding the "wine industry" as one of the use cases, there could be plenty of other usage for this .
On a sunny day that trailer might produce 1.25 Kilowatts per hour. for say 7 hours. or 9 Kilowatts. On a sunny day. A 2Kilowatt gas generator cost 600 bucks. And will use 8 bucks worth of gas to run 24 hours. I have a solar shed backup system about the size of this trailer at home with 6 Kilowatts of battery storage. My system cost $1200 . Nope not portable. Would cost me say $3,000 for a Trailer. My system also has a 3.5 Kilowatt gas generator as emergency back up to the Solar 3.5 Kilowatt inverter. That generator burns 12 bucks worth of gas every 24 hours and cost me $800 . $100,000 for a 1.25 Kw Solar system is completely useless for emergencies. My system has been tested under actual Grid failure several times here in Texas. No I don't sell Solar systems. But there is something seriously wrong with the pricing of Solar systems.
If I had one of these grind I would buys some land way back in the sticks and never be seen again! This is a game changer with a 5g network to!
Sorry, I just started watching but the caster here looks like a young Willem Dafoe.
You could pull this behind your Tesla and never be late to work! 🎉🎉🎉
Cost is still a huge issue and is where gas, diesel, and others still shine. They also work without sun. When will someone start mass-producing panels at low costs?
As you buy more the more people will put money into these technologies, at MIT they found a way to make solar panels much lighter, one day an entire house may only be 100 pounds of solar, cost taken down massively and they found a way to replace silver. That said, if money keeps going into solar everything in life would be much less expensive because you take the price of power down the price of everything comes down.
@Callum McMac Seems like it still has a ways to go. Solar is increasing in popularity but is accessibility (cost) improving or is it getting more expensive because of said popularity?
Had this idea a few years ago, told a friend who aid it was stupid. 😢
Where is the "Nano" incorporated in the NanoGrid? I mean my PS5 may have nanotechnology incorporated somewhere within, but it took a look at itself when people asked it what it wanted to be called. 😅
👑 entrepreneur
Why not build a truck that carries a wind turbine rather than green hydrogen which his very inefficient to produce? Wind often blows more at night and such a turbine, if big enough could generate more than the PV installed on the truck.
Interesting but would this system work as well in say the northeast after a blizzard? Solar makes sense in ares that have a lot of sunshine but what about the rest of us?
Can't make wine without power? Hahahahahhahahaahhahahahahahhaha
Linus from craigslist
They should send these to Ukraine!
mini wind turbine
They aren't (usually) that useful at the ground level. The wind speed is too low.
actually first is shelter, not power
use that on top of a rv/trailer-home
k.i.s.s.
I dont need fancy abbreviations tech, just simple shelter
no command centers, no nonsense
gov is not needed to "take care" of things
Good Idea but Batteries are much better
These are batteries...
this video is all over the place, the clickbait title says its about a solar grid, but then it turns into some all in one emergency response unit.. the solar aspect is marginal at best maybe 1600 watts total in perfect lighting condiitons, this thing needs to be fully topped up before deployment
The trailer can be used to replace the grid when the grid is down! Not hard to understand!
@@gmv0553 Same result for more money. Instead, I think a better solution that would use this same technology is permanent emergency shelters. Way more room for equipment, functions, and storage.
those are commercial panels so in the 400-460 watt range x9 and those weird thin panels puts us in a healthy 5kwh range.
This concept is not new. For the last 10 years farmers have used similar systems in Pakistan to power tube wells. Foldable solar panels are deployed on trailers which the farmer moves to the tube well when he needs to run it. Why moveable trailer based. Well because to stop getting the panels stolen.
That unit looks mighty expensive. It’s only really good when the sun is directly above it or if you lay it on its side lol. Clickbait at best and crap at worst.
