I am in the process of making a documentary on living off the grid in the forests of northern Minnesota. Thanks for the stumble. BTW I've read a few of your posts and I sorta have a crush. cheers, HappyHippy Something like this is exactly what I was looking for.

How much power will I be able to gain foom the device for the price I pay? This is a minimal information, probably not enough, but at very least this information is needed.

My opinion is that anytime you can 'plug-n-play' electronics you really are on the right track. It reminds me of building computers from the motherboard up. Components really just plug in. You just have to make sure they are compatible with each other. I am wondering what they mean by a ‘standard home outlet’ and how they tie in to the electric circuitry of the home.

(Have to go back to electric dryers.) Its pretty expensive per Watt if it is only 1 to 4 cells (like it looks) for $450! But that is balanced by how effective it can be for the big three in any home: the fridge and the dryer and the plasma tv. Would really cut the use back by just plugging in the 3 worst hogs.

Could the $ per watt be good? And you just plug it in? That is pretty crazy awesome if it turns out to be real. I would be interested in how much electricity you can get from these.
