(OP) User ID: 1112802 United States02/15/2011 10:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you for keeping us novices apprised, OP. I'm starting to learn quite a bit on this topic from multiple posters who are staying on top of this! Quoting: cRoSS FiReWith things going the way they are; all of GLP will be experts on the dynamics of the sun! HA! There's too much going on to become an expert at everything. I'll just kick back and try to read/comprehend. I appreciate the effort put into the explanations and updates. I need a book: Solar Doom for Dummies ;) In all seriousness, the only solar doom I recall (some might remember) in the early part of the last decade, didn't a CME take out a fairly large chunk of the nation's western electrical grid? I really don't remember. There were some Canadian power disruptions, and when I was really young there were some in the PAC NW arount 79 or there about when I lived there. _______ Blog [link to mysolaralerts.blogspot.com] YouTube Channel [link to www.youtube.com] "Give me Liberty, or give me Death!"

| BRIEF
User ID: 381742 United States02/15/2011 10:11 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Maybe you can answer this for me: Quoting: BRIEFYesterday I noticed on one of my solar charge controllers that control an array of 6, 4.5 amp panels was charging at 29.1 amps. The math doesn't work but that's exactly what happened. Each of my charge controllers are rated at 30 amps so by putting 6, 4.5 amp panels on each one I figure I'm within the safety range, but it's still winter...what will happen this Summer? Is it possible that my panels can pick up more energy from the Sun due to a weakened magnetosphere or increase in solar activity? Lets hope not! Maybe the controller is faulty. Were the others reading different values than that one? If it was malfunctioning it would flash a code at me...then I'd have to get out the code book and figure it out...the sun kept poking in and out of the clouds so it's hard to say about the others...I didn't have time to stand there and watch them all, I just noticed that one because it should be no higher than 27 amps and it caught my eye. It would be interesting to see how they react during this comming flare; still don't know if we will be rotated into its direction yet or not. Hey, I could get a keg and we could have a charge controller watching party! Actually that doesn't sound fun... I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked.  |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1211743I know what you mean. Thanks! Here is the "Full Halo" as seen by NASA's SOHO Lasco C2 instrument. Make sure you guys watch these in full screen. You don't have to do anything but click on the little button down on the lower right hand corner and it will pop out at you. I have created and uploaded all of these short videos for you guys. Unfortunatly you cant see much if they are not full screen. _______ Blog [link to mysolaralerts.blogspot.com] YouTube Channel [link to www.youtube.com] "Give me Liberty, or give me Death!"
