New Off Grid Inverter Charger

[TomW]

With all the mystery and world changing potential, just call it Fawkes.

Or not.

I thought I mentioned that Ego mower way back? Saw that connection from day one. It is normal for folks to ignore me so no offence!

Maybe we should go back to the roots and call it the "Inverter"

[Halfcrazy]

Or maybe "Brutus"

Tom, sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you. The lawn mower happened to pop up on a TV at the restaurant yesterday while we were having our engineering lunch. It was eerie, we were talking about the model number and up comes the lawn mower?

I'll go out on a limb and guess at 7 boards.   

[Resthome]

I guess 15 boards.

Another name suggestion:  Dyno Inverter

60's muscle car vibe to match the retro styling

Smaller configuration could be Dyno Jr, etc.

Dyno was a company in Seattle that built the Brutus inverter many years ago. Today the OutBack, SMA, Magnum and Schneider are all knock offs of Milt Rice's Brutus.
Before inverters, I worked at Eldec with Milt. We designed military aircraft power supplies. I left and went to Trace to design inverters. Milt left for Dyno to do the same. Dyno never figured out how to reduce idle power though. Milt came to work with us at Trace until he died in an ultralight airplane accident. Milt would have changed the inverter industry even further had he lived. He always thought out of the box. I still miss him.

Robin;

Let me point out some history to be aware of should you go with "Ego" as a name.

In 1978 Apple Records sued Apple computer for copyright infringement back when Apple started building computers.

Pretty sure it cost everyone to find out that record and computer companies are not going to be confused.

They are about as diverse products as mowers and inverters.

Maybe no big deal but those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

Just saying..

From the lunatic fringe.

I do not want to be associated with a lawn mower, so we will have to change the name.
Game on!

I hear that!

[Halfcrazy]

This thing is SO cool and SO revolutionary it seems like we should make up a word for its name. It deserves a new word

OK, now you guys give it a try. We need to give this thing a new name.

The person who names it, gets to see it!
