azonenberg: you can run tons if you build a WB4APR-style hacked Prius
<rqou>
at least 3KW of power
<azonenberg>
rqou: well consider cooling as well
<azonenberg>
and mechanical constraints
<azonenberg>
you can only fit so much in the car if you have people in there too :p
<lain>
cars have AC
<lain>
cooling is fiiiiiiiiiiiine
<lain>
and/or open the windows and drive faster
<rqou>
you don't need too much cooling if you run directly from 200VDC to a SMPS
<azonenberg>
Lol
<azonenberg>
well i dont know if a car's HVAC is able to handle 5 kW of servers in the back seat :p
<azonenberg>
a few laptops sure
<rqou>
hmm I didn't think about that
<lain>
strap them to the roof
<lain>
we gain two things
<rqou>
put it in a trailer?
<lain>
1/ forced air cooling
<lain>
2/ room in the car
<rqou>
lol lain
<lain>
"do not operate in rain"
<lain>
servers automatically throttle below 30mph due to insufficient airflow
<rqou>
just don't have friends or family, now you don't need room in the car :P
<lain>
^
<rqou>
iirc "normal" 2kw 12v to 120VAC inverters are relatively common
<rqou>
so at least 2kw is fine without doing anything special
<rqou>
5kw might just work too
<rqou>
according to the gauge cluster in the car I'm driving, it regularly hits 50kw peak consumption (hybrid)
<rqou>
although it does have a dedicated coolant loop for the power electronics
<lain>
prius?
<rqou>
Altima actually
<rqou>
still a hybrid
<lain>
ah, neat
<lain>
friend of a friend drives a prius and they were replacing the battery one time and almost lost a finger (oops)
<lain>
like, bits had to be reattached
<lain>
he sent me a photo of the side of the car covered in ketchup and I was like why would you spray ketchup all over the car like that, and he's like "that's blood"
<lain>
PSA don't lift heavy sharp things unless you have a very solid grip on it. also wear gloves. thick gloves.
<rqou>
but this was a mechanical issue, not an electrocution issue?
<lain>
yeah
<lain>
batteries are heavy. and sharp.
