Good day all!Together with my girlfriend I’m traveling with an electric car from the Netherlands to South Africa and back, charging the car with solar panels we have in the car (11kWp). We are currently in Morocco.With the help of 3 partners we are getting an enormous amount of data out of the car via the OBD port of the car pushed to different servers.

Good day all!
Together with my girlfriend we are traveling with an electric car from the Netherlands to South Africa and back. We are currently in Morocco.
With the help of two partners we are getting an enormous amount of data out of the car via the OBD port of the car. If you can think of it, it is probably an paramater that is measured, liked G-force meter, if we buckled up, cellular reception of the car and so on.
What would be nice, beside the obvious like we already have on our website (SOC, altitude, speed and soon windspeed and direction), to show on our website? And what combination of data would be interesting to analyse?
At the moment one of our partners is making this dashboard with the help of students. We are allowed, to a certain extent, to share datasets, if you would be interested to play with it.
Soon we will share more facts and figures about our expedition after the dashboard is set.
Thanks!
Maarten

Search for “Bernard van Dijk” on LinkedIn. He is a professor on an Aviation University. He has a very solid story about why hydrogen will never work in airplanes.
I’m addition, a well explained video about it:

Can come CO from candles as well? We do not have any flames inside as we cook with induction, we only use candles as indoor flames.
Nice fact: Here in the Netherlands a fire alarm will be obligated starting from this summer

He there!During evenings we burn quit some candles in our living room. Our house is well isolated (we have a heat pump for heating our house), so we have to ventilate a lot.
During evenings we notice we got sleepy very early in the evening. When we go to bed we stay awake for quit some time. This made me wonder if there was a coloration with the candles and us feeling sleepy early, so I bought...
Good idea! We are already in contact with Lightyear. They like our idea, but are to busy at the moment to be part of our project. We wil contact the solar teams!
We think the total trip will take ± 1 year
Together with my girlfriend I’m planning a trip.
Driving from the Netherlands to South Africa and back with an EV.
We want to charge the car with solar panels we bring with us.
See our website for more details: www.4x4electric.com
Challenge for now: how to charge the car with ~60m2 of flexible solar panels.
We need a threephase offgrid solar system, but did not find a suitable solution yet.
Any ideas?
This could have been my words! Tesla Model 3 owner here from the Netherlands
We are already in contact with Lightyear, but the car itself is not suitable for the trip..
We did not know it was already done, but thanks for sharing!

He all,So I may have have a rather strange question, but I’m not able to find the answer myself, hopefully there is some solar panel knowledge here!My girlfriend and myself are currently planning a trip where we will drive from Europe to South Africa and back with an existing electric car which would take approximately one year. We want to show the world what is possible driving an electric...
Long showers.. in the Netherlands most of the houses are connected to natural gas for heating and showering. We installed multiple solar panels and a heat pump, so we do not use any natural gas anymore (cooking is also electrical). This means we cannot shower all day long, but it is worth it to use only electricity!
So this kind of things with the front door open, can someone access my Wifi network with it? Knowing when I'm home (if my phone is not connected to the Wifi network)?
You can still buy Philips Hue items, they do regular updates.

He!Although HN is mostly related to IT stuff, I'm quit a noob in this.
I just bought a few chickens and a hen house. To protect the chickens from being slaughtered by a fox, every night I close this hen house.
I want do this with an actuator from Ali express which I can control via Wifi, see below link.My question; what is the risk of giving this kind of China's products access to my Wifi...

I have quit some experience, would happy to help you out
I have heard this too, but mostly because there where looking for something that is not there. Example: if finding your true yourself is like peeling of an onion, the can peel a lot, but at some point, the reach the core where there is nothing to peel anymore. I have never reach this state and it is not at all my goal. I think it has something to do with ego. Doing psychedelics makes ego less important. But if you do it too much, you lose your ego too. Living without ego is not possible in my opinion..
Me and my girlfriend are microdosing LSD for the past couple of weeks. We both are very outgoing persons, but due to Corona, our life is really boring which makes our mental state not as positive as it was. We notice that we have more acceptance to the Corona situation. Especially the “bad” days, the microdosis makes the day much more acceptable.. I’m aware that this is a very brief explanation. If you are very interested in this, please let me know, happy to chat or call about it.
no thoughts that distract you from falling asleep?
My sleeping room is quit dark, so no problem with light

Good day!These days we all have a lot on our mind. Therefor I was wondering, what is your mental trick to fall asleep?To start with mine:
With closed eyes I imagine myself walking on a beach, only seeing the lower part on my legs. I focus myself on a natural rhythm of moving my legs. The better I'm able to keep a smooth pace, the more relaxed I become.
I notice that sometimes my legs are moving...
