New Off Grid Inverter Charger

Onan?
You lost me mate!
But I am a bit slow and damaged.

Russ I think some of the 'magic smoke ' got out of a capacitor or ?? as Onan Parts was having the mick on you...

well done though....resistance.... charged....battery....dry cell.....discharged.....9V.... NiMH.... he pieced a lot of the previous discussions together, into nonsensical prose...

The nonsensical prose is the result of sticking my nose inside a B17 last week. I claim no fame for the prose that arose from the sticking of my nose that day within the bombay.

I'm just here to say that very soon one day future owners of B17's will know what I means!

So in truth you have smoke damage?

No smoke damage...

However, I can provide Margaret's Stats:

Species: She Troll
Age:             385
Eyes:               2
Eyebrows:        1 (She shaved the upper one)
Height:  Less Tall
Weight: 300 Pounds (21 Stone)
Profession: Nanny
Favorite foods: Slugs, worms, cats, cats with worms

Anyone that gets a B17 will meet Margaret!

In an effort to make sense of the nonsense....

Yesterday I stopped by Midnite to see how the R&D is going on all the Inverter projects. Was particularly interested in the B17, what else!

About those Trolls.....Certain Engineers at MS have no sense of humor at all! In the future, if you remove a particular circuit board: One cable, 4 screws, slide it out. Nice easy access....jerks!

While carefully examining said board you may encounter the following. But wait, why would anyone actually look closely at a boring circuit board and read the "fine print"

I can't answer that question, but look I did. And I found more than just your typicall Troll info!

Here we go.......

[onanparts]

OK, now that we are up to date on the B-17 Troll bios of Margaret & Irving, lets look around a bit more.

[onanparts]

Nope, zero sense of humor at MS. Too bad they can't make circuit boards that are interesting.....

"Onan" did you happen upon anyone working on the Rosie Inverter ( formerly  Little Willie)  or the little sister? 

[onanparts]

A short vid from yesterday's visit showing a Little Willy or maybe the Big Kid? top cover prototype in a 3D printer that's almost done. Once they nail down exactly how they want it, then the aluminum casting's are manufactured. 3D printing really saves a ton of $$$$. Get it perfect before any big production run.

Any new updates on Rosie or the B17. It's finally starting to thaw around here and I'm getting itchy to get my system up and running!

Both inverters are coming along fine. Bob, Scott and Mike are working away at issues every day. Scott is finishing up a small board so they can try a different approach to something or another. I think it has to do with synchronous rectification.
Mario and Baxter are hard at work on the 600V MPPT controllers and making great progress. No time line yet, but I'll keep you informed.

[onanparts]

It's true. boB and Mike slaving away on the B-17.  Scott was in another engineering lab when this pic was taken, but I did see him slaving away too!

I'm guessing the water color marked pics are to protect trade secrets

A cast of thousands is involved concerning the posting of "approved" in house MS pics. 

By "filtering" some pics, most if not all the red tape is bypassed....... Well, at least I hope so. Next time I show up, if they go into lockdown mode and call security I'll know the filtering was inadequate.......
