When disaster strikes, the flurry of political positioning and fingerpointing can make it difficult to understand what really happened. This video provides a summary of the facts of the 2021 Texas winter storm.
Predator and Honda 2000 watt generators go head to head on weight, sound and load. Impressive results for sure, and is it worth the $1000 price tag for Honda VS $450 for the Predator.
While I'm not in the immediate market for a generator, it's interesting to learn about the technology. Most off-gridders have generators, they have many capacities -- like running a heavy load like power tools or a glow plug -- and back up for cloudy winter days when solar doesn't put out enough energy to keep the battery bank fully charged. Interesting video for sure about the different technologies and why sometimes it's worthwhile to pay for quality.
This is an interesting video about power outages, and why it's always important to report power outages to the electric company, even if you think your neighbors have reported the outage. It turns out that electric companies aren't mind readers and if there isn't an a major fault at the substation, they may very much not be aware of any problems.
