  1. A man made object/structure that affects the entire world simultaneously. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  2. Why do you say that? Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  3. You be interested to know that I have only ever watched one episode of star trek. lol And I dont count the tower of babel as the first mega structure because it was a failure and apparently destroyed. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  4. What do you think the first mega structure will be? I think it will be a space elevator. We have huge need for it and it would be the first structure to affect everybody in the world simultaneously, HOWEVER, I also think that humans are stupid enough to give up on space exploration(Like nasa kinda has) therefore I dont know what kind of project would be that big and important unless we created travel through the core of the earth possible. I do think that eventually we will put the sun out and use the hydrogen fuel for much more efficient purposes, but that would destroy ET life in this solar system if it exists. not to mention disband the solar system due to lack of gravitational pull fro the sun. Then the space travel question comes. Due to the impossibility of super light travel, we would have to create sleeper technology to go anywhere significant in the universe.... Will humans put forth the effort to do this or think its not worth it? I Strongly disagree with space program cuts but anyway I honestly think humans are going to self destruct eventually. We are the dumbest smart species ever. Yes... Im random, Get over it. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  5. Possibly *Runs away*.....no I changed my mind on that espresso machiene. Im getting a much smaller one. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  6. Billvon isn't answering Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  7. No love for the coffees with an alternative lifestyle? Nope,why anyone would drink coffee any other way except black is beyond me. Heathens!! Bigot! The best coffee is the one that is handed to me as I walk out the door for work. Awwwww.... that's cute! She either loves you tons or you have her trained well. Yes! Yes she loves you... Or yes you have her trained? lol Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  8. So I could get 4 of the n200 batteries and a few flexi 100w solar panels and all the chargers and converters I would need and I would be able to power everything I would need? The espresso machine and refrigerator are going to pull the most power. I am going to use led lighting in the bus, no washer/dryer. I am using a gas stove/oven, and I will have probably 6 other 120v outlets for small things like laptops phone chargers ect... and during the summer I will have 1 window ac unit. Heater is going to be a wood burning furnace or a rocket stove, so no power there.... So would this work? I will have a generator as a just in case SHF power source and if hookups are available at a reasonable cost I will have it interchangeable between solar and the RV power hookups. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  9. I use a mahlkonig v30 for espresso and a mahlkonig Guatemala lab series for everything else. I don't roast my own coffee, i get coffee from Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters, Intelligentsia and Madcap Coffee Roasters. Sometimes verve. But IMHO these are the best roasters in america. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  10. I had the same reaction, like pass some along buddy! :D anyway mine are: /0/0 and sadly I think these numbers will stay the same till spring break :( it's coffee season so no jumping till spring. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  11. Problem solved. http://howtocampout.com/10-ways-to-brew-campfire-coffee/ Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  12. I will definitely look into it. That's a sexy machine. The 1 group Bosco ha the same group and everything as a two or more but works on a 120v. Thanks for the referral, Ill look at tht one. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  13. No, this is for my house lol. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  14. Becaus I like the lever and its affordable. I have never ha more fun making offer than when I was on the bosco last week. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  15. This is some great info! Thank you. I will defiantly look into this! Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  16. http://www.lamarzoccousa.com/portfolio/gb5/ maybe i read it wrong but here are the specs for the machine. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  17. This sir had made me spit my cappuccino out while laughing. There is a huge difference and one that I would not be okay with. Plus, I already changed my mind on the machine. The one group bosco is a manual lever machine. It runs off of standard plugs and makes better coffee than the marzocco. An it's a sight cheaper. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  18. Earlier when I said 120 means quality cut... I forgot about the bosco. My bad. So yes I will go with a 120v espresso machine. That still raises the question of pricing for other electric needs. If I did go all electric for the stove/oven and fridge, 15 or so other outlets around the bus, lighting (led strips most likely) ac for summer, water pump.... Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  19. Ill jut go with a 1 group bosco, they are amazing and only 2000. And the one group is a 120v. Anyway. Still wonder about the solar. Ill probably go propane for the stove but would like to cut reoccurring bills (gas for generators ect) as much as possible. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  20. I don't even know if I'm for sure getting it. That's $10000 that I could use for jumps..... Hmm.... Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  21. I know I want to have the amazing coffee that I make/drink while I'm at work, but I don't want to have to go to a coffee shop to get it. Like I said, mobile coffee shop trailer is in the brain as well. But of over kill it is, ah well. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  22. The marzocco gb5 2 group. And btw it's a 220v 30A 4600W Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  23. I will have it set up for both. But since I won't be at one place all the time I need backup for the dz or other places that don't have tv hookups. And depending on how much it is to hookup, the one time cost for solar may be cheaper than an electrical bill every month. That's one of the things I am trying to find out.x Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  24. Yes, y'all can go ahead and flame me for it, I am a major Coffee snob. Lol. And I am looking at a mobile coffee trailer for boogies and such so this info is good for that as well. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
  25. This will be VERY pricey if you want it available all the time to drive your 220v espresso machine. The way to do this would be to have your panels feed a battery bank (panels usually produce DC current, which will eventually have to be changed into AC, more on this later). In my house, the panels feed a bank of batteries which are then used to provide current. The batteries feed into an inverter which can then supply power. If you need a 220v its not so much a question of VOLTAGE its a question of AMPS. How many Amps do you need to supply that espresso machine? Under normal circumstances you could probably power a small fridge with a few panels, a stove is a HUGE power hog if it is electric, and an espresso machine really you need to figure out how many amps it will draw. If you want to run 120v and 240v (or 110v/220v, they are for the most part the same) you will just need 2 inverters, one for each (unless you have one you can switch) It seems it would be easier to get a 120v espresso maker, no? Solar power lacks efficiency, and a couple cloudy days will make it so you cant run a fridge or make coffee which is a problem. I'd at least use propane for the stove. Do you have a solar store near you? They love projects like this and can get you better panels than "hobby panels" you get at DIY stores, they can also calculate your loads out and get you prices on batteries and inverters. With a battery system, you may find that the batteries are prohibitively expensive as they were in my home (we have street electric, backed up by solar, backed up by generator... and the batteries for the solar were the single most expensive part). OK, sorry for the long reply. No! I need as much info as I can. How much would I end up saving in the long run from not having to buy gas for generators and propane for a stove and fridge? Ill figure out how many watts the espressos chime would pull. No it wouldn't be easier to get a 120v because that means MAYJOR cut in quality. Anyway... I also just pmed billvon, thanks for that reference quade. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
