Re: [WISPA] TEGs / Thermo Electric Generators

Yes, it DOES matter how cold it is. Propane won't create gas pressure below -43.6F and many propane gas pressure regulators will ice up and stop working below about +20F. This isn't a problem for many locations but it is still important to know what the limits are. Christopher Erickson

Re: [WISPA] Fw: [WISP] TEGs / Thermo Electric Generators

Can't violate the laws of physics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane Boiling point (point where it will turn into gas) is -43.6F If the propane is colder than that, there is no gas pressure. I am a telecom engineer that worked on Alaskan mountain tops for 25 years. Christopher Erickson

$10k is a round-number summary deployment cost. Most of the mountain top sites we had were at least an hour one-way from Anchorage. And of course we had to pay for the bird to sit there while the technicians worked on the site. Christopher Erickson Consulting Engineer Summit Kinetics Waikoloa

Could be but that isn't right either. 24 hours of daylight is not the same as 24 hours of full current charging. The Sun rises and the Sun sets. Latitude and seasons aside, an 80 watt panel is only going to give about 450 watt-hours a day at absolute best. -Christopher Erickson
