Forgive the ignorance but what could be done with a system that is 50 pounds or even 100?
My point is the level of destruction makes me think cell towers and infrastructure is gone. So maybe a radio that could powered from the solar system?
Refrigeration would be ideal but running a standard home fridge from small solar is impossible. Perhaps a 12 V travel cooler? A random no endorsement link Koolatron P-20 Thermo - Electric 12-Volt 18 Quart Compact Cooler/Warmer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00009PGNS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ct8XzbWMN6P1D. Try to keep in mind sizing for typical container that would go in there.
Okay since there definitely seems to be some interested in the details of the set up i figured i'd go more into detail,forgive the poor quality photos please.
So first of here are the links to everything I'm using right now:
Polyscience Immersion Circulator
Cheap cooler
Smart Wall Plugs
Temperature Data Logger
So a couple note on these things. The only reason I'm still using the Polyscience is i paid way too much for it back when there weren't many other option and it still works. I'd like to get an Anova eventually. The whole reason for this project was I was trying to see if i could do what the Mellow Sous Vide has promised but not delivered on after waiting forever on my preorder.
This was just a test run and if I decide to cancel my preorder I'd most likely go with This cooler as it seems a lot nicer and still has the side cooler.
To answer in some more detail why I don't go with just an ice bath is honestly, I want to take all the food safety guess work out of this, and to me just hoping that you put enough ice in and that it will last long enough on that given day just doesn't work for me.
Here is a link to some photos of the set up as well as the app i use and a temp chart recorded with the data logger, that i'm using to figure out the time needed to get the cooler to food safe ranges.
I know this is a lengthy post but i hope it helps
what about an electric camping cooler? like : http://www.amazon.com/Koolatron-P-20-Thermo-Electric-12-Volt/dp/B00009PGNS/ref=sr_1_10/178-5455654-1525134?ie=UTF8&qid=1457705688&sr=8-10&keywords=travel+electric+cooler
I'd hate to throw away all that liquid gold, ya know?
