Trina Holt:
Join our enormously popular instructor Bjarne Hansen for an evening of talk 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, and
- 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, and
- 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.
