In Assumption huh... I'm in Ascension! I thought I was the only crazy coonass mining in Louisiana. I had a meter go hazy myself and it shorted one leg out when some bad weather came through... hole straight through the meter head. |

Well hello neighbor, Luckily I am a licensed electrician so its no issue when something burns. I tell you this we have pushed limits I have never come close to with any other industrial or commercial loads before. I have ran 15 MegaWatts of generators before but never had a 100% continuous load on any thing. Are you on Entergy over there? |

I'd like talk with you but not here Okay had a bit much to drink last night... anyways yes have Entergy in 2 co-locations and 1 on Demco. Have 4th co-lo being worked on now with 1600A 3phase build out coming. Not sure if you have looked at filtering intake air yet or not but have found using electrostatic filters to be the way to do it. Also just got the 3 phase 60in exhaust fan in that pushes 20k cfm and is VFD controlled so should be fun to learn to program since it is SCADA type of system. Also the reason the burn happened because the electrician that ran the 200A to the house 10+ years ago had it where the legs were touching so it melted the plastic eventually and shorted out one side... Here have a look. https://imgur.com/a/S068o |

I think you should setup more high speed fans. Do you plan to make any ventilation on top of container?

The ventilation system is going to move about 40,000CFM That is going to exchange 100% of the air in the container every 2 seconds! Do you honestly think it needs more? In all my years of doing Electrical Construction and HVAC one thing I have learned is you never cut a hole in the roof of a data center! |

It was a slow day today,, my foot was hurting so bad from gout I could not stand for a long time. Logan and Burkin did a lot of work on the ventilation today. https://youtu.be/FOcH6uuKd0c |

One of our clients has 6 shipping containers buried in his yard all growing weed. You can do some really fancy shit with these containers. Amazes me what a lot of my clients do for a living.

Thanks.. We should be posting a video in the next day or so showing the fans installed and all of the heavy electrical completed. We have devised a better way to make the intake and exhaust hoods. The plan on the next container is to build the frames on the ground and use a thiner material for the skin. We reused the pieces we cut out of the container on this one and although it is thin material it is way heavy. I plan on doing a video of the lessons learned as we get closer to start up... Sam |

Cool - I'm sharing your videos with a local (We're in NC) electrician. I think he's having a hard time believing our power needs, and what we're doing - so this is good stuff :-)
Quick question - what was the reason you did the large (intake, I assume) vent across the top where you angled out the side of the conex - instead of just doing vent/fan holes like I've seen others do?
I imagine this is much better for ventilation, but I'm worried about security on such a large opening.

We have expanded metel in the opening. The Idea behind the whole container is so that we can move it if need be. If we need to relocate it we can just drop the intake and exhaust hoods and set it on a truck and go.
The amount of air flow was calculated based off of the CFM of the total number of miner fans. The size of the opening in the container meets the requirements of the ventilation fans we are using. The fans we are using is just a whole house fan from homedepot they are like $200 shipped and move like 5400 CFM each.
