STOCKING UP ON ELECTRICITY
I want to be prepared for an emergency power outage. I just bought a
100 gallon tank and want to fill it with electricity. What is the best way to fill this tank? How many days of electricity will a 100 gallon tank hold for normal usage? |

How many days of electricity will a 100 gallon tank hold for normal usage? Pretty simple. Fill the tank with lithium batteries. IF your electricity demands are near zero, your "tank" will supply your needs for a LONG time. Maybe long enough to acquire a clue. |

Can't find the link, but somewhere on the interweb, there's a story about a guy who uses PV panels to disassociate water. He stores the gases in inverted barrels inside concentric barrels full of water. The weight of the barrel stabilizes the gas pressure. He recombines the H and O at night for heating and lighting. Don't remember if there was a fuel cell in the mix. Not sure I'd want to live next door. |

That will help you think fast about this problem. -- The difference between being a system admin and a sewage worker: Either way you spend your day up to your neck in the waste products of society.

You can try a garden hose, just hook the hose bib to the
power cord. Remember, only fill the tank about 80% to allow for expansion. Should hold you for about three days. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. wrote in message ...

Fill it with water, split a lamp cord down the middle and strip the ends. Put one end in the water in the tank, place your left hand on the outside of the tank and hold the other end of the power cord in your right hand by the stripped wire. THat should give you sufficient power storage to last you the rest of your life. |

I offer advice, and get told I'm wrong. It's a tankless job.
