I Multiclass in Tech

Cars, Computers, Electronics, Energy, Automation, Material Sciences, Fluid Dynamics... I hack it.

Past projects include a 2kw solar powered camper van, efficient home cooling, solar this and that, servers, home automation, and more vehicles than I care to count, the latest of which is a gen1 Honda Insight and the impetus for my joining the forum.

I'm looking to exchange ideas for low-energy quality of life improvements, fuel efficiency, aerodynamics, and vehicle electronics. Watch the DIY and various tech subforums here for my obsessive over-engineering and under-committing.

Yes, my name is ironic.

Welcome.

I don't drive much anymore so I'm mostly interested by what you've done with home cooling and automation.

living in the desert without A/C it mostly involves putting together giant fan assemblies and cycling them on at night and sealing up during the day.
