  • Finally an update on our big barndominium build - what had a massive screw up to fix, but hopefully we're back on track now!

    Roger hit the Jackpot. Glad to see the progress on the barndominium.

    Never too big. It sucks when you learn lessons about things average mortal don’t know about. Either way. You make great content. I hope the channel grows more and we get more electric supercharger content and solar powered supercharger.
    Ps. It would be very interesting to learn and take us along with the solar installation. I was to build a barn to park my semi truck and I was thinking of doing the same thing just for the barn.

      I will make videos on the solar install - I'm curious how it's going to work out myself.

    At my old job our shop was 250.000 square feet & we thought we would never ever need more space & less than two years it was full. You will always find stuff to do with that space & if you don't there are plenty of people that will help fill it! I have not seen anyone go after a gopher with that much excitement since Bill Murray in Caddyshack! Simon better watch his back, literally!

    Hello Alex, since now people are starting to use dual motors, I think the idea I had when you first started the electric turbo is not ridiculous.
    I thought about a planetary gear set (from an auto trans or E-scooter hub motor) where 3 planet gears each has a motor and the sun gear is the one connected to the compressor wheel.
    Maybe it is an E supercharger wet dream or maybe the next best thing...
    Keep up the good work and good luck with your Lab

    Going off the grid is interesting! The problem with metal buildings and concrete contractor is interpretation... concrete guys think it's just like every other job they have done. I just had a couple of problems of my own when I had concrete poured. The metal building manufacter calls their door traditional, and it's not. So the concrete guy doesn't put the step ledge in thinking it's getting a traditional door threshold... not the same. So I get what you are going through! Good luck!

    Are you going to include Marz in your solar system?

    I hope the company paid for their mistakes, I hate it when they screw it up and then say it's your responsibility to pay more.

      Their insurance apparently wasn't valid. I'm not sure if I'll bother them taking them to court yet - I have to weigh all the pros and cons.

      The motor we're using on the Sledgehammer unit is delivering 34 kW going down track: czcams.com/video/RT0M88xHzNQ/video.htmlsi=cLqRRQ5XVvqn3_hH

    We are hitting 12kw daily on our setup, at 6am currently we are at 1-2kw (Australia) and still producing 150watts at 630pm...
    Size definitely matters.
    In regards to concrete, you can drill and epoxy in steel and add it on the concrete.
    I come from nz, earthquakes, tornadoes and cyclones is a big thing. As long as your concrete has 40mm it wont crack... if it was me id just do it myself and call it a day.
    I used to build swimming pools, mansions, highrises, bridges etc,
    If you google image parnell baths bridge, i did the concrete work including the foundation, did concrete for a decade...
    As long as there is enough lap on the steel in the concrete, simply adding concrete and steel on the side with reed bar drilled an epoxied in place is more than enough. Just get the engineer to sign it off at 2-3 inch and sue the company for the losses.
