A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

While this is true, I would also consider the stability of the system, the ease of repairing it, and the availability of components if necessary.
Yeah it is pretty cool in that regard. I was just wondering how it compares and thought it might be interesting for others.
I would be cool to optionally hook up wind power up to it too. You can easily DIY one with more than 1000 kW peak power, which is athlete levels of output for a human.
Depending on your useage and size of tank, intermittency shouldn't be a problem, but if it is, you can always slap on the bike again.
