Awesome work, keep it comin!!

Thx !

Interestingly enough , It will draw about the same current as the thinktank 1... I expect a load of about 14-16 amps @ ~115vac....that's nothing.

All the energy was spent elsewhere.....(making the dry ice).....

Doing some more wiring....

Isn't that still a good 1500-1800 Watts? Does that include the computer draw as well?

Yes , that includes computer draw for 2 computers....Don't forget the monitoring rig....

I'll be doing 2 phase to the tank rack , but that's only because of multiple motors....

haha

This is as far from 'green' as you get bro !!!

Don't forget it uses 35-50 lbs of dry ice per run , if not more.Pure co2 baby.

Imma buy a 'smart car' .

So I can put it into the back of my truck , and use it as a generator.

It should run off of a double pull easily. Most power supplies do accept 240V as well. If you do not need your dryer for a little while, just disconnect it to make way for the thinktank :)
