| Notebook on passenger seat
|
|
| |
|
The elongated plug is bent upwards when the seats are held sideways. This means that the inferior plug is bound to fail soon.
|
| Conrad Car Adapter: too weak for current notebooks
|
| 
| |
|
Looks like the car adapters that were so common until 1998. The large part with the low maximum power of 2A at 24V suggests a very poor efficiency.
|
| Car Adapter for notebooks with desktop CPU
|
| 
| |
|
Even for the extremely power-hungry pseudo ''notebooks'' with desktop CPU, there is a car adapter at Conrad. In contrast to the smaller model with reverse polarity protected plugs.
|
| Digital voltmeter to measure car adapter
|
| 
| |
|
Until there are reverse polarity protected car adapters, a voltmeter is essential to use to protect your valuable notebook from reverse polarity damage.
|
| Notebook in the footwell at the passenger
|
|

|
The elongated inferior plug doesn't have a long chance of survival here either. The plug has to slow down the notebook at every faster turn.
|
| Hama notebook power supply
|
| 
| |
|
In contrast to the Hama car adapters, the same manufacturer manages to offer decent connectors with reverse polarity protection for the normal power supplies.
|
| Hama Car Adapter: Caution!
|
| 
| |
|
Plugs that are not protected against polarity reversal. 5 out of 7 plugs are also of an elongated design, which have a high chance of breaking quickly when used in the car.
|
| Car Adapter Tuning
|
| 
| |
|
From Voltcraft there is a pack with angled plugs to the common not polarity-safe car adapters. Re-measure and then fix glue is highly recommended.
|
| Voltcraft Car Adapter: Caution!
|
| 
| |
|
If it does not say Hama, then the part costs only half the price as it was spotted in the I'm stupid and stingy market. But beware! The same dangerous crap!
|
| Hugin: panorama tool with post refinement
|
| 
| |
|

|
| Panoramafactory: the ghost software
|
| 
| |
|
In the Panoramafactory 3.3 panorama appear several ghosts, which are suppressed by PhotoStitch 3.1 and PixAround. The shadowy ghosts ruin the panorama.
|
| Panoramastudio Panorama Software
|
| 
| |
|
1530 pixel height in a panorama remain from 1600 pixel height from the part photos. Here is Panoramastudio better than PixAround. But there are ghosts in the overlap areas.
|
| Panorama software PhotoStitch 3.1
|
| 
| |
|
The software delivered together with the Canon S1 did not perform well. The Venedig panorama is much circumcised. The Markus church without towers.
|
| PixAround panorama software in test
|
| 
| |
|
At us cince 2000 used as a problem free error tolerant software for panoramas. Freehand or not complete straight on the tripod, PixAround makes the best out of the photos.

|
| Sealed lead acid battery with charge regulator
|
| 
| |
|
The charge regulator is simple with double sided adhesive tape glued on the sealed lead acid battery. Also this should be only a temporary stopgap.
|
| Office at the waterfall
|
| 
| |
|
To work has nothing to do with being cruel to yourself in a stuffy office. GPRS, UMTS and a solar power supply makes it possible to work in an inspiring environment.
|
| In the backpack
|
| 
| |
|
Normal, I would not take for some hours at the waterfall charger for the cellphone and for the AA cells from the camera. But here it's to show, what all is possible.
|
| Backpack with notebook and accessories
|
| 
| |
|
All the power supply fits in this small backpack. In front the belt for the notebook, the digital camera and the cellphone.
|
| What delivers a photovoltaic at sun behind clouds?
|
| 
| |
|
Behind a sparse cloud is the sun recognizably. My foot throws already the clue of a shadow. 0,8A charge current. 30% of the 34 Watt peak.
|
| Direct sun
|
| 
| |
|
The foldable photovoltaic placed on an other place to align better towards the sun. The charge current climbs to 2,33A or 86% of 34 Watt peak.
|
| Sunny
|
| 
| |
|
Through a hole in the clouds short time full sunshine. 2,23A charge current or 82% of 34 Watt peak. The PV lies not optimal oriented on the rock.
|
| Photovoltaic at strong cloudy sky
|
| 
| |
|
Behind dense dark grey clouds is the sun invisible. The charge current changes from 0,39 to 0,65A or 14% to 24% of the 34 Watt peak rating.
|
| Flooded beach
|
| 
| |
|
After some weeks rain, finally bathing weather again. But the beach is half flooded. Humans dense together, so the only place for the photovoltaic on a tree.
|
| Email software for batch and command line
