The solution to this is to use Hybrid inverters+batteries with a auto disconnect on the mains.


The chiller unit consumes 1kW of power

and produces 1.7kW of cooling


Can you get 1kW of power from 1.7kW of cooling to power chiller unit?


Yes. The chiller unit consumes 1kW to move 1.7kW of heat off the CPU. It then has to dissipate 2.7kW.


Just a small clarification,

The chiller is rated at

1.7kW thermal while consuming

1kW electrical


That's about 1/2 tonne of AC. Insane ...


(and before anyone complains, yes, thermal pumps can have greater than 100% "efficiency" - that is: heat transported per energy spent)


>Insecure

None of the listed issues were applicable for the laptops that OP recommended


Also consider the following thinkpads

T5x0 - for a 15" Laptop

X2x0 - for 12" Laptops ( avoid the X2x0s)

W520, w530, P50, P51 - Desktop replacements 15" size


18650's have a 18mm diameter. a 32650 would make most laptops too thick


~260ms.

The route was Chennai-Amsterdam-Jordan-Iran

I imagine TheSockStealer was wondering about India to Iran ping time through Google's private network (the one in the diagram upthread), which doesn't appear have a connection from Chennai to Amsterdam.

The packets in the trace you posted were presumably routed by someone besides Google. Or did you run that traceroute from inside GCP?

Or I could be misunderstanding the diagram and maybe Google has some connections that aren't shown. I don't really get what the ">100" in "edge points of presence >100" means in the legend.


Wow,Solar prices in the USA are pretty high. I live in India where solar is under 1.2USD/watt installed. This is for a good module and very good inverter.

I have seen quotations for under a dollar a watt using cheaper components


If labor was free, and you didn't need a permit or certified equipment to attach to the roof and utility lines, and there were no taxes, then that's close to what you would pay. $0.60 cells and $0.40 string inverter $0.20 cheap brackets.

For very large commercial/utility installations it falls close to that ($1.40 including land and transformers).
