Riding Toward Everywhere

William T. Vollmann

Vollmann is a relentlessly curious, endlessly sensitive, and unequivocally adventurous examiner of human existence. He has investigated the causes and symptoms of humanity's obsession with violence (Rising Up and Rising Down), taken a personal look into the hearts and minds of the world's poorest inhabitants (Poor People), and now turns his attentions to America itself, to our romanticizing of "freedom" and the ways in which we restrict the very freedoms we profess to admire.For Riding Toward Everywhere, Vollmann himself takes to the rails. His main accomplice is Steve, a captivating fellow trainhopper who expertly accompanies him through the secretive waters of this particular way of life. Vollmann describes the thrill and terror of lying in a trainyard in the dark, avoiding the flickering flashlights of the railroad bulls; the shockingly, gorgeously wild scenery of the American West as seen from a grainer platform; the complicated considerations involved in trying to hop on and off a moving train. It's a dangerous, thrilling, evocative examination of this underground lifestyle, and it is, without a doubt, one of Vollmann's most hauntingly beautiful narratives.Questioning anything and everything, subjecting both our national romance and our skepticism about hobo life to his finely tuned, analytical eye and the reality of what he actually sees, Vollmann carries on in the tradition of Huckleberry Finn, providing a moving portrait of this strikingly modern vision of the American dream.

Off-Grid Projects - Step-by-Step...

Rachel Pratt

Off-grid systems can also be referred to as "stand-alone" power systems, are completely independent power supply systems that are not connected to the public utility grid. These systems supply electricity, heating, cooling, and water to homes, businesses, and communities that are located in remote or rural areas. They are also utilized by people who choose to live off the grid for a variety of reasons, including concerns about the environment, the desire to be self-sufficient, or the desire to save money. These systems often rely on renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, or biomass, paired with energy storage options, such as batteries, to supply the energy needs of the users.
In order to design an off-grid system, one must first determine the users' energy requirements and then select a suitable power source. Solar, wind, hydro, and biomass are the types of renewable energy that are utilized in off-grid systems more frequently than any other types. Each of these sources has a unique combination of benefits and drawbacks, which can be weighed against one another to determine which one is the best fit for a given environment in terms of resources, geographic location, average temperature, and the amount of energy needed.
Planning the system layout, choosing the components, obtaining the materials, and installing the system are all steps in the construction of an off-grid system. PV panels or wind turbines, inverters, charge controllers, batteries, and wiring are the typical components of an off-grid system. Off-grid systems need energy storage solutions to guarantee a constant flow of electricity during times when energy generation is low, like at night or on cloudy days. Batteries are by far the most popular type of energy storage technology utilized in off-grid systems.
