I am building a cabin (5mx5m) and was considering powering it by 12v DC. I’ve looked around and seen loads of solar & wind kits, however these are aimed at providing power which is converted to 110v or 240v AC. I’m looking for mine to be a bit like a caravan, with battery bank charged by wind/solar supply – outputing 12v DC to 12v DC devices. So if you know of any guides which show

1. Power sources (wind, solar etc) that generate 12v power
2. Wiring or systems to smooth the combined supply
3. Charging systems to charge 12V battery bank
4. Wiring for 12v supplies to sockets

I have a fair understanding of electrics (not an electrician – but have done some 240v wiring) and keen to understand what can be done in kit form versus what I have to do myself

I’d also be keen to hear from anyone who’s done similar as I know there are challenges – heating for example!!

you wan t to look at marine chandlers/boat suppliers and boating in general. Boats run off 12 v systems and there are a half dozen wind generators……..including AeroGen and Ampair…….that put out 12 v for boat systems

I know two people who run their houses off 12 systems, and 2 who have 12v lights and fans as backups for when the grid goes down……

I know it’s fictional, but just for the fun of it, tell me what you’d change?

My ideal zombie setup.

First of all, I want a 12 gauge pump and loads of buckshot. Buckshot because it spreads, and you don’t really need to take much time to aim. Also, a 12 gauge pump because it reloads quickly and holds a high capacity of ammo. Next, you want a high power rifle, preferably a 30.06 because it’s availability of ammo, and it’s power, and accuracy. You keep this at your base for defending your base from long distance threats. Next, you want sidearms. These are to carry around whenever. Just incase you don’t have time to reload, or using a larger weapon is just inefficient. Personally, I’d carry a .380 caliber semi automatic pistol, because it’s high bullet capacity, light weight, accuracy, and reliability. But, you want two sidearms. Next, I’d carry a revolver. Because they are very reliable, easy to care for, and never jam. I’d want a .357 magnum, sheerly for it’s massive firepower. Next, an assault rifle. You carry this around whenever you need to move out of your base to get supplies, meet up with someone, etc. it needs to be efficient for close range, as well as medium, or even long range. I would want an AR-15 assault rifle, for its durability, accuracy, and 45 round clip. Next, your choice of blunt weapon. These are not used unless needed, as they are dangerous because you need to be very close. Id like to use a t-ball bat, because they’re very small, easy to swing, and you can even carry two.

As for my choice of mobility, id use a sports motorcycle, such as a ninja 250, or similar. I’d choose this because you don’t need to refuel often, (as gasoline will be very sparse) it’s ability to accelerate very quickly, and its mobility. You cant drive a hummer through a highway where cars are blocking half the street. I’d always have a ciphening line along with me, to take gas from other vehicles.

Next, your base. Like many people think, going to a mall, or a large store is a BAD IDEA. A. its highly populated, zombies will already be there. B. many ground levels windows and doors, too many places to block. If possible, go to an ocean, or large lake, on a boat.

Next, your emergency kit. A few things in this category are:
Water (1 gallon per person per day)
Food (stock up on non-perishable items that you eat regularly)
Medications (this includes prescription and non-prescription meds)
Tools and Supplies (utility knife, duct tape, battery powered radio, etc.)
Sanitation and Hygiene (household bleach, soap, towels, etc.)
Clothing and Bedding (a change of clothes for each family member and blankets)
Important documents (copies of your driver’s license, passport, and birth certificate to name a few)
First Aid supplies (although you’re a goner if a zombie bites you, you can use these to treat basic cuts and lacerations that you might get.)

You want to quickly cover all cuts and open wounds, because if the infection is viral, they don’t have to bite you. If blood from a zombie that just got shot gets into your wound, you might as well of been bitten.

More supplies-

50 waterproofed matches and striker, as electricity and most other power sources will be gone within a few days.

A flint and striker.

1 Case of 3,600 Calorie Survival bars.- very useful.

This is the beginning of it, i plan to add more.
The flamethrowers actually not a good idea i thought. because a zombie has to be killed by the brain, and how long does it take a flame to reach thier brain? If there is anything worse than a zombie, it’s a zombie on fire chasing you. and, are walmart windows shatterproof? and, i think many people would go to places like walmart. stock up on canned foods, water, etc. it’d be too crowded i think.

I dont think that the boat is a good idea. The large store (walmart) is a risk but a good one. It has all the supplies you will ever need and barricading the doors is as simple as turning on the lock switch. The windows and doors are shatterproof as well causing the zombies to be incapable of getting in and who is going to go shopping when the news is talking about a zombie apocalypse, but, if you are going to go to water a big risk is almost necessary. If you could take a tanker or a cruise ship then you are all set. Those places are bound to have zombies surrounding them though. The huge ship will be great for all the possible survivors you will encounter and it can hold many supplies and probably has supplies already on them.
Yes walmart windows are shatterproof. Not many people would be around any longer. There would also be plenty of food for at least 25-50 people.

This new educational kit lets you explore the mechanisms involved in harnessing the alternative energy of wind power. The windmill features loop-wing design that can be rotated by the slightest breeze. You can also run while holding it to generate wind artificially. The kit comes with a rechargeable vehicle that uses power generated by the windmill, running for 1-2 minutes for each 5-10 minute of charge.

To build a four wheeled vehicle powered by entirely one or two self-contained rubber bands. The vehicle may not be more than .30 meters long. The vehicle mus travel and stop exactly 2.5 meters away from the starting line.

I cannot use the rubber band to shoot the vehicle forward or push it, but use the rubber bands to wind the car up.
The wheels must be constructed
I cannot use any devices, kits or toys that were designed for rubber band powered machines.

If anyone could please give me some ideas with the physics project I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you so much!!!

Travelling and stopping exactly 2.5m from the starting line sounds likes the hardest part. For that, you probably need some internal measuring device. I’d suggest a string cut to that length that is unwound off one spool and wound onto another (perhaps the front and back axles). If you use the axles to wind the rubber bands as well, you can get them to store the energy needed to propel the car. You will need to keep the car light enough that the stored energy in the rubber bands is enough to propel the car over that distance. That’s about it.
