Title: Alternative energy for mining Post by: rampagewsu on June 22, 2011, 03:30:06 PM Anyone utilizing alternative energy (solar, wind, etc) to power their mining rigs?
I recently inherited a track of land in Northern Kansas, and would love to set up some small-scale wind turbines. Title: Re: Alternative energy for mining Post by: muscles on June 22, 2011, 03:34:12 PM Nah bro

It would be really cool to be able to be green while being able to have Ghps but I just don't see it possible. The best bicycle generator I've found is "kit" (bike not included) producing 300W for $400. http://www.amazon.com/Bicycle-Generator-Watts-Pedal-Dynamo/dp/B003GJL6GO (http://www.amazon.com/Bicycle-Generator-Watts-Pedal-Dynamo/dp/B003GJL6GO) (no affiliate link). So we'll need one cyclist per small rig, full time with no bathroom breaks. I think its scalable. :D |
