The Forbidden Current · Volume III
Off-Grid Solutions
The homestead microgrid, signals and memory, and about forty at-a-glance builds.
Designing, running and maintaining a small energy system you own: load audits, solar, wind and water, storage, protection and hardening. Then signals and keeping knowledge alive, and about forty one-page builds of simple, low-hazard electrical things, from a voltaic pile to a crystal radio.
Outlined; drafting after Volume II. By Stephen Horton. Published by Quantum Armadillo, LLC.
