RE: Surthrival Trailer Mark 1 Update 39 Generator Integration Testing
Man, that's legit!
Surthrival indeed! Got your own entire grid in there, that's really awesome! The end of days means an increase in quality of life for some folks, eh? :)
Do they make small scale generators that are tri-fuel like the old deuce and a halfs?
Also, do you have any input on the cheapo solar panels like from northern tool or harbor freight? Thinking I might try them on my well house if they're decent.
Hey Nate! Thanks for checkin out the video bro nameth! Hell yeah or an power station for a small community/emergency response trailer for a community that can be a gathering place to charge devices and provide power to medical tents/disaster relief teams.
They totes do build smaller tri-fuel generators that are set up to be able to run off propane, natural gas, or gasoline. https://nysmartgenerators.com/
I've seen a YouTube video of someone reviewing the small systems at harbor freight and they liked em. I'd say those are good for starting with to have as a preparedness item.

Sweet! So how large of a community do you think a small solar setup like yours could sustain? Is that a goal of yours? I can see how that would be an incredible resource if the grid went down for a tornado or something. It would be awesome to be able to offer folks the ability to charge their phones or medical equipment. Not even just an end of times scenario.
Something like a 5-10 family community, yep it's part of the vision for my homestead to have the trailer be the homestead accelerator so small yurt structures can be built and powered from the trailer microgrid. A central house would have the kitchen and bathroom/gathering area. 4 More stationary panels could be added to the system to total 3.30kW of solar. Yes, I believe it could be a major asset in disaster relief.
