100% Renewable Powered Datacenter

As reported by datacenterknowledge.com a company from Texas is attempting to build a data center that is 100% powered by renewable energy. They are starting off with wind turbines.

Should be very interesting to see if they can pull this off.

Building Green

As I was trying to find something to watch on Hulu while I was reformatting a computer and transferring the files back I came across this show called “Building Green” It was put together by PBS and goes through a lot of different methods and options for building green. All the while they are actually building a house. Some very cool stuff in the episodes I hadn’t realized or knew about.

Here is the first episode to check it out:

Wind Turbine update!

Sorry for the delay! I tested the turbine on a 10foot mast last week and proud to say I was getting about 9 volts steady. I need to play around with the blades and a different motor but all is looking good! Pictures will be up shortly as well. The charge controller is being built by a friend right now as well. Another cool thing is I found 13 motors I can use so if I want to make a small wind farm I can now!

Wind Turbine Project Update!

So found out I had 2 motors for my use. Also bought some parts today for the projects and started making some of the main components. Check out the projects page for more indepth information.
