Join our enormously popular instructor Bjarne Hansen for an evening of discussion about the various ways to generate power and how best to store it. After a bit about safety, a quick "here's how electricity works" intro, and some tool-talk, he'll go on to discuss:
- Solar panels
- Wind generators
- Towed generators
- Fossil-fuelled generators
Bjarne will help you understand:
- Lead-acid batteries
- Lithium batteries
- How to charge them in a way that maximizes their life
- Charge controllers
- Battery monitors
Finally, he'll help you troubleshoot. Electricity and water? What could possibly go wrong? Bjarne is here to help you do it right.
