How can I save money and the planet by harvesting waste energy? [Answered]

No solar panels, no problem!

Companies like Tesla and NiteSave have devices like a power wall and solar systems. These require you to own your own home and shell out many thousands of pounds up front.
This article shows you how to setup a power wall like device using simple components. Not only will you be able to utilise waste energy, but you will also be able to save money without having to buy solar panels.

How this all works below.

Advantages of building your own NiteSave energy harvester.

• No need for solar panels - everyone can do this, even renters.
• Harvests waste energy - reduce your reliance on fossil fuels
• No more fossil fuels - reduce your reliance on Russian energy
• Be energy independent - reduce your bills
• Do it yourself - feel empowered and in control of your energy bills

You can attend a course to learn how to put this together or follow the instructions below. Contact details for Mark Hopgood who runs the NiteSave course below.

Step 1: Purchase the components
The NiteSave energy saving solution uses 4 components. They are each consumer devices and can be connected without the need for electrical certification.

Parts you will need

A timer
Arguably the most important component. Timing when your battery is charged is paramount. You can charge your battery at night when nuclear energy is being wasted by the energy companies and you can also harvest energy when it is sunny ( more on this later ) .
Purchase a simple mechanical timer here:

A battery
Make it practical - your battery should have the following features:
Powerful, Lightweight, BMS, 12Volt Socket, charger.
Here's my favourite one:

An inverter

This component converts energy stored in the battery back into mains power.
Here's one that is easy to connect to your battery:

Now that we have all the components, we can start saving using the following daily cycle:

1. Charge your battery from the mains electricity (grid) when energy is at low demand ( wasted) - usually at night.

2. Run your appliances ( laptop / phone etc. ) from the battery during the day, reducing demand on the grid ( reducing need for fossil fuels )

 

Step 2: Connect the components
The NiteSave energy saving solution parts can be connected without the need for electrical certification. Here's how to connect everything.

1. Connect the inverter to the battery using the 12v ( car cigarette lighter ) connector 

2.  Connect the battery to the charger 

3. Plug the charger into the  timer

4. Plug the timer into the wall socket

 

 Step 3: Set the timer
Depending on your location and time of year, you may have additional time zones to set your timer to. Join our discord server to find out more and to get updates. https://discord.gg/TxNHW3skTg

Step 4: Optional - get a discount on your electricity

Not all energy providers give you a discount for running NiteSave. Join our discord server to get a list of energy providers that will offer you a special tariff. https://discord.gg/TxNHW3skTg

How this all works

This article is about harvesting energy that would otherwise be wasted. Using a battery, an inverter and a charger, you can save money and collect wasted energy. Saving money and the planet in one fell swoop. In UK and France nuclear power is part of the electricity grid. The problem with nuclear power is that you can't switch off the fuel which is made of radioactive material. Radioactive or fissile material doesn't stop giving off energy, so when there is less demand for energy in the grid, energy is sent to waste. We can use that waste energy to power our lives. This guide shows you how. Why also consider charging when it is sunny? In the UK, the National Grid ( electricity ) is supplied by renewables as well. Wind and solar aren't always available. However a free app is available to show you when to set your timer.

Which record labels pay bedroom artists the most? [answered]

Following a recent BBC News Article, I thought I would put together a list of record labels and their standard deals so that new or existing artists could compare the market.

When looking for a deal, remember who owns the music. You may own the song, however it is common that the record label has prepared the digital track for distribution. In this case they will own the recording. This means that they have exclusive rights over the recording, but not the copyright to the song. This means you can if you want make a new recording of that song and distribute it.

Here's the recent BBC article over how Four Tet called out their record label Dolphin over royalty payments.

Domino records
Originally gave 13%, but has now agreed to 50% of royalties to the owner.

dnldr / projektor records
Originally gave a 50% cut of income to the artist. Now they have an interesting split that covers 
25% to label - 75% to "anyone who touches it" - meaning that Four Tet as a songwriter / producer would get 75% of the income stream.

What about collaborations / covers? It's still possible to get involved with music publishing even if you aren't a singer songwriter. For covers, Mairk is offering a service similar to dnldr but for covers. This involves a $45 up front fee to cover future royalties from a cover to the original artist.

how to solve Rubik 2x2 cube

I got a 2x2 cube. It came with instructions but these weren't easy to understand.

I hope you find this useful.

Step 1 get the white side and layer done.

There aren't many clues for this, but I'm happy to be able to do this ith trial and error.

Step 2 get the yellow side complete.

Don't worry about the layer yet.

diagrams 1 to 8 show you the combinations you might see when you have solved part 1.

F means face, so when you perform the R'U'F' UFR have the face towards you.

Finally swap some cubes.

This is all you should need.

How a Chinese student made over £15000 just by speaking with friends when she came to the UK to study.

‘I made £17,000 by giving out SIM cards’*

This was the headline on a recent inews article..
