mkeespiet··on Ask HN: What kind of expedition data would be interesting to analyse?
Good day all!

Together with my girlfriend we are traveling with an electric car from the Netherlands to South Africa and back. We are currently in Morocco.

With the help of two partners we are getting an enormous amount of data out of the car via the OBD port of the car. If you can think of it, it is probably an paramater that is measured, liked G-force meter, if we buckled up, cellular reception of the car and so on.

What would be nice, beside the obvious like we already have on our website (SOC, altitude, speed and soon windspeed and direction), to show on our website? And what combination of data would be interesting to analyse?

At the moment one of our partners is making this dashboard with the help of students. We are allowed, to a certain extent, to share datasets, if you would be interested to play with it.

Soon we will share more facts and figures about our expedition after the dashboard is set.

Thanks!

Maarten

Search for “Bernard van Dijk” on LinkedIn. He is a professor on an Aviation University. He has a very solid story about why hydrogen will never work in airplanes. I’m addition, a well explained video about it: https://youtu.be/nrCE9duCej0
mkeespiet··on Drones have transformed blood delivery in Rwanda
Any change we can get it contact with you? For our project www.4x4electric.com we would like to visit different Zipline projects in Africa to generate more attention for this kind of projects
mkeespiet··on Drones have transformed blood delivery in Rwanda
Very nice project! Hopefully we can visit them next year during our project: www.4x4electric.com
mkeespiet··on Tell HN: Candles can make you feel tired
Can come CO from candles as well? We do not have any flames inside as we cook with induction, we only use candles as indoor flames. Nice fact: Here in the Netherlands a fire alarm will be obligated starting from this summer
mkeespiet··on DIY Off-Grid Solar Power
Good idea! We are already in contact with Lightyear. They like our idea, but are to busy at the moment to be part of our project. We wil contact the solar teams!

We think the total trip will take ± 1 year
mkeespiet··on DIY Off-Grid Solar Power
Together with my girlfriend I’m planning a trip. Driving from the Netherlands to South Africa and back with an EV. We want to charge the car with solar panels we bring with us. See our website for more details: www.4x4electric.com

Challenge for now: how to charge the car with ~60m2 of flexible solar panels. We need a threephase offgrid solar system, but did not find a suitable solution yet.

Any ideas?

This could have been my words! Tesla Model 3 owner here from the Netherlands
mkeespiet··on Ask HN: How do a charge my EV directly from solar panels?
We are already in contact with Lightyear, but the car itself is not suitable for the trip..
mkeespiet··on Ask HN: How do a charge my EV directly from solar panels?
We did not know it was already done, but thanks for sharing!
mkeespiet··on Ask HN: How do a charge my EV directly from solar panels?
We do have a Youtube channel, but no movies yet: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN0s5M8KKBsXyLbg9_fFVVA

I found the same videos, but they all use only a couple of solar panels..

mkeespiet··on What Are You Willing to Sacrifice to Stop Climate Change?
Long showers.. in the Netherlands most of the houses are connected to natural gas for heating and showering. We installed multiple solar panels and a heat pump, so we do not use any natural gas anymore (cooking is also electrical). This means we cannot shower all day long, but it is worth it to use only electricity!
mkeespiet··on Ask HN: What is the risk in using WiFi products from China?
So this kind of things with the front door open, can someone access my Wifi network with it? Knowing when I'm home (if my phone is not connected to the Wifi network)?

You can still buy Philips Hue items, they do regular updates.

For me ~10mic
mkeespiet··on Psilocybin 'promising' for depression
I have quit some experience, would happy to help you out
mkeespiet··on Psilocybin 'promising' for depression
I have heard this too, but mostly because there where looking for something that is not there. Example: if finding your true yourself is like peeling of an onion, the can peel a lot, but at some point, the reach the core where there is nothing to peel anymore. I have never reach this state and it is not at all my goal. I think it has something to do with ego. Doing psychedelics makes ego less important. But if you do it too much, you lose your ego too. Living without ego is not possible in my opinion..
mkeespiet··on Psilocybin 'promising' for depression
Me and my girlfriend are microdosing LSD for the past couple of weeks. We both are very outgoing persons, but due to Corona, our life is really boring which makes our mental state not as positive as it was. We notice that we have more acceptance to the Corona situation. Especially the “bad” days, the microdosis makes the day much more acceptable.. I’m aware that this is a very brief explanation. If you are very interested in this, please let me know, happy to chat or call about it.
mkeespiet··on Ask HN: What is your falling asleep trick?
no thoughts that distract you from falling asleep? My sleeping room is quit dark, so no problem with light
mkeespiet··on Ask HN: How to Sort to 1.000 Destinations?
I need to sort bulk (100.00 parcels) to bags. Every bag is for 1 shop (+1.000). So sort parcels for each shop.
mkeespiet··on A systematic study of microdosing psychedelics
Same here! During or After (lasting for 2 or 3 days) a microdosis LSD, I do not like to drink any alcohol.. It is for me the most recognizable thing of microdosing
mkeespiet··on Effects of Psilocybin on Empathy, Creative Thinking, and Subjective Well-Being
"The truffle sample (15 grams; Psilocybe Hollandia) contained 1.9 mg of psilocybin and 10.5 mg of psilocin. Participants ingested an average (SD) 34.2 (8.9) grams of truffles throughout the day." I thought it is not possible to take more than one portions at the time as you build up tolerance directly after taking it?
mkeespiet··on What is the highest point on Earth as measured from Earth's center?
I can confirm it is difficult. Not in terms of climbing, but in terms of breathing. The higher, the smaller your steps. Above 6.000m do you 3 steps and 10 seconds of gasping for air or more. But the view on the summit, that was the most beautiful one I have every seen. You could see the shadow of the mountain, see below. In my case there where some clouds, which made it even more beautiful. https://80d2853cc4def76b377d-54344bc01a8b066c84096a8e7a3499a...
