                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[There is a old electronic device in Medicine hat, is claimed to work, but frankly I expect its broke, and that's ok, these are not worth much. The guy is asking 50 for it,a fair price and what others on ebay roughly sell it for. I suspect its from the mid 40s. Its a low wattage inverter taking in 120 volts dc and giving out 120 volts AC. its just going to be a learning experience for me as I will use it to tear apart.<br>If anyone is from medicine hat or just coming from that way, and would pick this up for me,and you are heanding north, I would be happy to meet up with you from anywhere south of Ponoka, (maybe down the Red Deer to up to Edmonton to pick this up from you. I <br>will  pay twice the price being asked. So if your coming this way anyway, make a few bucks!! <br><br><a href="https://www.kijiji.ca/v-electronics/medicine-hat/vintage-dc-ac-inverter/1305402802?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true">https://www.kijiji.ca/v-electronics/medicine-hat/vintage-dc-ac-inverter/1305402802?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true</a><br><br>I can get the same thing off ebay but by the time I pay shipping I will be at a hundered bucks anyway, and I would rather pay a Canadian to get a few extra bucks in his pocket, and I will throw in a bottle of my world famous apple wine to sweeten the deal . Im not in a hurry, even if your not coming up for 4 months, that's fine, Buy it now and hold it until then...my words solid, I wont be changing my mind.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Noteworthy that on August 16, 2013 the New York Times reported that a massive emergency power-outage drill called "GridEx II" is planned in early November this year to simulate a major cyber attack or EMP and how it will affect the U.S. power grid.  More than 150 companies and organizations are signed up to participate as well as government officials from the United States, Canada and Mexico.  The article didn't mention how much of the U.S. will or will not be affected or included in the drill, or how long they intend to conduct it.  However, it's also possible that a real one (or false flag) could occur much sooner as on August 27th, outgoing DHS secretary Janet Napolitano, in her outgoing speech stated, "a massive and serious cyber attack on the U.S. homeland is coming and a natural disaster - the likes of which the nation has never seen - is likely on it's way."  So the question is, what do "they" know that we don't? Why would she issue such a sweeping and blatant statement unless it has an underlying basis?  Think about it folks.  And it only serves to lend credibility to prepping activities.  Something is definitely in the wind........]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I happen to notice that under Global Disaster Discussions - the one that I am preparing for does not seem to be listed and what is not thought about won't be prepared for - So I would like to raise awareness of this...<br>Many sources (including Michio Kaku on Fox news, representing physicists of the world) predict that solar storms (that go on an 11 year cycle) will be at a maximum later this year as they were...I think about 100 yrs ago.  Matthew Stein (talked on Coast to Coast Radio Nov 20, 2011 and Feb 21, 2012) brought up an excellent point - that if a CME were to take out the grids, it could destroy the ~300 transformer stations in North America and that new transformers are only made in Europe and they have like a three year waiting list for one single new one. So if there was a solar storm that took out the grid, it wouldn't come back on for decades. AND just having your own solar system or back up generator may not be enough, as the storm could destroy all electrical equipment even if they wasn't connected at the time of the storm. <br>Think what that would do to the world. Most every mode of transportation has electrical parts. No cars/ no planes/ no boats/ no factories/no heat/ air conditioning/ no communications of any sort. When Michio was on Fox news, the idiot reporters made a joke about not being able to use their blackberry. But there are hundreds of nuclear power stations in the states and there is only back up power systems for a few weeks. I think it takes years to safely shut one down. So 300 Chernobyls...forget no food...99.9% of the water wells are submersible/electric. This means even if you have your own well - you have no water. All of this potential for disaster and you guys don't even have a heading for it??? Heads up!!]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[There are certain points that a homeowner should keep in his mind before powering his home with solar energy. There are a numerous <a href="http://www.solarswitchaustralia.com.au/"><B>Solar power Queensland</B></a> firms in the market supplying solar panels and other related equipments. Before rushing to purchase a solar power system, as a home owner you need to inquire about all the aspects relating to the making of a residential home solar panel.<br>Various types of solar panels and solar arrays, which give out different amount wattage, are available in the market. How to get the right one depends up on the energy consumed by household. So the first step towards purchasing a <a href="http://www.solarswitchaustralia.com.au/"><B>Solar power Queensland</B></a> system is to determine the average power load requirement of a household. <br><br>The next step is to get the rated efficiency of the photovoltaic cells of different companies. Always go for a photovoltaic cell with higher percentage of wattage output. It is always better choose a product which offers longer guarantee periods. It would be better to go with a product, which offers lifetime guarantee or at least a 30 year guarantee.<br>One important decision to be made by the homeowner is regarding the grid system to be used. Solar panel systems are of two types:<br>Grid-Tied System: Your residential solar panels are connected to your current power source. This system supplements the energy from your solar panels with the power from your electric company.<br>Battery backed Grid-Tied System: The power from your residential solar panels are collected in a battery and used in urgent situations and the excess power is passed through your meter to electric company.]]></content:encoded>
