Live in autonomy, produce its electricity its heating and manage the water: a reality.
The autonomy was always relative to our needs and it is not H.D Thoreau pioneer of the diminution in his book "Walden" which would say the opposite. However, these last years, the development of technologies, the access to the information fast extreme reactionary, and the wills to set up modes(fashions) of ecological functionings, all these factors(mailmen) allowed the democratization of the means to live in autonomy.
/27 Alone in the field
Outside cities, we have the possibility of "cancelling a subscription to" us services by an equipment in materials (equipments) allying the new technologies: panels solar energy, batteries(drum kits), mobile telephonies and means more traditional as heating in the wood and the dry toilet. It is all these techniques which we are going to approach and to develop on this page.
Heating
1) Stoves
We are in the presence of the subject the easiest to treat(deal,handle). The heating for the hut it is the heater with wood. They bring a sweet and pleasant heat. In campaigns(countries), as in city they are easy to find in good condition, second-hand or new
New, the first budgets are in the neighborhood of 200€ for the small models, with their appearance of black barrel(trunk) with a filling by the top and their big capacity of load(responsibility)t.
26/ Simple and effective
Then you will find intermediate, typical models Scandinavian or classic, modern, with a home(foyer) glazed by rectangular shape or half cylindrical. At present, these models present the main systems which improve the comfort. Of the window where a net of air(sight) hunts(chases away) the deposits(warehouses) of smoke in the functions(offices) double combustions which improve the return. We find so various regulations and the recovery of ashes is facilitated.
But differences exist and it is a matter of compromise. Nearby, 6 to 7000 W (50 to 60 square metres but to be generous), they are sufficient for a cabin, but often fished by the small size of homes that do that small lengths of logs. Moreover, in domestic use, they are, in most cases, identified as heaters.
Then we move on models of high ranges often made in severals countries: Scandinavia, but also in France, Germany, Canada, USA... These stoves are deemed designed for use in continuous, and therefore more focused on the dwelling. Some models are designed by designers, and the lines can exceed the 12 KW and 200 KG. Such structures can avert a stone cladding, which would cause the return of the heat the healthiest (these assertions are proved by scientists calculations wavelengths), surely this is tantamount to an ancestral heating mode.
Finally, please note that according to studies the combustion of a log of wood releases as much CO2 as its natural degradation. This is a way to relatively clean heating.
Advice:
-- Follow the requirements especially in the area of lead and passages of floors. Often you will find information about these suppliers documentation available from your dealer materials. You can also perform the installation by a professional. Look at the tax cuts when he bought the stove.
-- The ducts are insulated stainless steel to put on the first floor and in the attic. This is to avoid a temperature difference too violent from the start, which would condense the soot and generate significant deposits within the conduit.
-- The lofts and stairs are vacuums heat, which has the effect of making parts very hot upstairs, which is not recommended for rooms.
-- Develop a consistent inlet near the stove. It will prevent the camera aspires air he claims through the doors and windows of your house and exposes you, as you will be located between the wall and the stove at current costs.
-- A good way to fight a fire is starting the fire extinguisher to spray + additives effective against fires A (solid wood, cardboard, textiles natural) and the lights B (liquefied liquids or solids, hydrocarbons, or synthetic materials ).
2) Hot water: for the followers of solar hot water, we will develop a system to put on a roof shack.
Energies or to produce his(her,its) electricity
A reminder: the purpose in a hut is to my opinion of not not to realize the gas plant, with the reader Dvix and the plasma display 81CM. This column in for purpose to help people to equip itself if they wish to stay for a long time either to stay all year round in a hut or in a place in .Whether in Oregon, on Aubrac, in Ontario, or in New Zealand, there are a lot of people, often pushed by economic reasons, which opt p
Un rappel : le but dans une cabane est à mon avis de ne pas de réaliser l’usine à gaz, avec le lecteur Dvix et la dalle 81CM. Cette rubrique à pour but d’aider les gens à s’équiper s’ils souhaitent séjourner longtemps ou séjourner à longueur d’année dans une cabane ou dans un lieu en autonomie .Que se soit dans Oregon, sur l’Aubrac, dans l'Ontario, ou en Nouvelles Zelandes, il y a du monde, souvent poussés par des raisons économiques, Who opt for a downturn in housing alternative. If these pages may bring their information, it will be perfect, I salute them as they pass through.
:::Lighting 12 volts
Or: deep oil lamps, candles, the small post in shortwave to listen to the international radio stations, and coffee from 22H to them that support, and so on.
1) Consumption:
If you opt for a 12V circuit, make you a charging indicator LED voltmeter type. It will show the effectiveness of the charge, the speed of the discharge and the battery voltage. The voltmeter is connected in parallel to the battery or battery to the park. To get the consumption of each aircraft, neon tubes 12V (most economical), 12V filament bulbs, audio post 12V, a group of high-pressure water 12V, and 12V refrigerator electricity balance: connect a multimeter on ammeter (attention A calibration also not: the farewell voltmeter) between the red wire aircraft and most of the battery, the black wire connected to the negative terminal and read.
Can this also be recalled that: P (w) = U (v) x (A).
The energy in the battery is the amp / H. So to see the consumption of your devices, simply multiply its power by the period of use.
Make a list with your daily user:
For example:
A car that will consume 25W for 3 hours: 25W X 3 = 75 W and the battery voltage is 12 V cons then your daily music will 75W / 12V = 6.25AH
Either taking power in AH for an hour:
-- Automotive CD 25W moyen/12 A: 2.1Ah
-- Lighting global 30W / 12V: 2.5Ah
-- Water pressure 72W / 12 V: 6Ah
-- 40W portable PC / 12V: 3.4Ah attention you need to find a type connectors 12V cigarette lighter.
So 3 hours of car CD, 15 minutes of high-pressure water and 2 hours of illumination and PC to watch a film, it will require: 19.6Ah per day. So for a 100Ah, it was a garbage dump in - 20% (diagrams), it is at the limit of discharge (80% of the battery capacity) for a conventional battery or maintenance-free and should immediately account recharge Given the losses and self discharge.
We see in this case the importance of a park important Ah.
Now you can use converters 12V/220V but these interfaces are highly energy - and cause losses online. So opt for a maximum of 12V.
For example, the most effective way to produce cold and keep food consists of the installation of a cold as it can be found on sailboats. Build an insulated tank type cube of 60 cm with an open hand on top to prevent heat loss and installation of a compressor driven 12V (no system for electrical energy absorption). It is a tinkerer, but these groups are delivered cold usually with a system already loaded into gas. This can avoid the production of energy complex and costly in hardware and batteries.
There are also gas-powered refrigerators and often gas, 12V, 220V, with type propane cylinders. We will talk later to the extent some brands are no longer this type of product ...
A word of advice: always open the refrigerator, empty it runs much because there are losses especially during the opening and closing. And then a fridge full ç'est always more fun when a refrigerator mostly empty at the bottom of the woods ...
2) Power generation: To generate we have 3 ways: wind, solar, the engine. To produce 12V. Or a pack of the Tour de France in the cellar.
The ideal is to achieve a balance Energy. This will help manage your consumption without having too often resorted to the generator and to avoid disrupting the balance between battery capacity and consumption. See section above.
-- The wind turbines are more profitable on the Larzac, in Ariege. Where the wind, they devellopent lot of energy (-cabanes.com develop with partners more technical data so that more addicted to the curves and to the tables can be filled). They work really recharged. Very employees among browsers because a boat is permanently wind, they are to be taken into account, according to the exhibition. You can bring for example comparative tests often published in the journals watercraft. Attention, however, these devices from a few hundred dollars should be dismantled in case of absence or completely inaccessible.
-- A 200 W model can be very good for use hut. Either: maintenance of the load at a constant level and remedial use of a low power consumption as a car, lighting especially if you use the halogen 12V, 12V neon tubes, or a group of water pressure. The 200 W are achieved in general from 30 km / h wind with a diameter of 2 m for the rotor. The laptop, mobile phone charger, can work under these conditions. (Average price 500 euros)
-- A model 400/500 W allows you to run a small refrigerator, a microwave, etc ... Attention, however, this is valid in wind conditions, if after 12 hours your batteries are likely to fall, and depending on the type and capacity, you could damage your park. (See section above. (Average prices 600/700 euros)
These materials are typically supplied with a mat of 3 / 4 m and cabling and equipment are not necessarily knockdown, if close to 75 kg. Beware of the danger of rotors.
For the handymen, it is true that the wind turbine "hand made " exist: with its "head" bears pale knit, its blades rotating on its axis, the landing butt coupling flexible automotive alternator and empenage dessus.Sans to forget the rotation system as a whole. In short, a real job. Regulators mounted on alternators may be temporarily élimininés to improve the level of charge ... If you have such plans with the stages of assembly. Contact on the Web site,.
-- Solar panels are becoming more efficient, once used against the natural discharge of batteries, now they recharge. Example: A 20 W model can recharge in early June in France on a clear sunny 80 degrees 11H on a voltage of 13V. You can find many models, fixed or mobile. Prices fell and tensions rose.
- Generating sets are important during the construction of the hut with the use of the portable électro-. New or second-hand, they can continue their work in a niche hard, secure and soundproof. 1000 W are enough for most large number of uses. Attention however it is necessary to start the material(equipment) and a cement mixer of 800 W will feel at ease with a group of 1200/1300W, not down.
3) The energy storage: For electricity, it is the battery. Basically there are 3 types.
Batteries-classic type mode, where you have access to the filling of the electrolyte. These batteries are perfect in use booster, easily rechargeable at home if you have a car charger type. Disadvantage: they do not like landfills, (average below 11.4 V) they reduce their lifetime. Note: An old truck battery status, coupled with a solar or wind power will work wonders.
Batteries-called " maintenance free": they often have a warning level, and you do not get to fill. More expensive, more efficient at landfills long, so well studied for the 12V circuit, however, they prefer a system load pointy because for recharge, they need a programmable charger, capable of pushing the load on a high voltage at around 14.5 V and what to avoid a memory effect that prevents the full charge. They can operate as many years especially if there is a current ongoing maintenance (floating).
Battery usable on a hut, but more suitable as an interface for a boat 220V/12V plugged regularly sector or camping car stopping so many others in an area equipped. Unless you are equipped with a generator and a charger switching.
- Dry batteries: so-called "aviation type much more expensive, but their cost tends to decrease by intensifying their use. These batteries are very flexible use and support landfills. It would seem that they are ideal for autonomy. After everything is a matter of budget.
Be sure to maintain the standards of installation.
A reminder: a battery of 100 A / H will need to be loaded within 10 hours of an intensive 10A +10% (losses) under its voltage is 12V.
Water and springs
Sources(Springs)
One of the nerves(gristle) of the peace (for once) lives(lies) in the possibility of having a source(spring) or, even better, a small stream. Even if we can make very well without, a source(spring) is going to allow to obtain one autonomy in water more easily useful than a recovery of some water.
An old spring
Generally, it is going to look like the image this dessus:à side of hill, a little camouflaged, a niche of half a metre high, fitted out since a certain number of years, a little silt inside, a constant groundwater (left dark) and a system of drainage and of held(retained) .
On photos this below, we are in the presence of a more powerful source(spring). She revealed to her owner, during a work on the vein of water that he(it) utili
An old stone work
We notice a construction elaborated well for a source(spring) except a hamlet, the reasons which urged persons to hide her(it) seem dark. So, we can quickly fall again into stories(trouble) former(ancient) appearing from time(period) or the agriculture was the main wealth of the individuals.
An important crack
Tubes of terra-cotta
Fragments of channeling in terra-cotta show of the presence of a system of irrigation and of the water mains former(ancient).
Springs maintenance (soon)
Comfort
In general, I repeat, a kerosene lamp, a wood stove, a radio OC, a good book and supplies of sufficient quality to stay cool.
1) Washroom: Now a shower with a view on the nature or shed converted into auxiliary sauna is a must. We will have the opportunity to discuss this again on the site. For others, pink wine amateurs, it will be the group cold (see further catalogues deck) or fridges gas. Regarding fridges 12V, the group will be effective cold because the opening is made by the high and cold from escaping. Outlawing small refrigerators 12V absorption, which you viderons a battery before you take a sensation of receiving fees from the pipes.
Regarding the shower, a little advice, if you are lacking, a large pot of hot water (on the stove) and a glove will do. A wet glove well, a little over shower gel and a passing gently rinse the pot a shoulder to the other, will make you a woman or a man nine.
2) Toilets: Hair! Directly, as is currently recommended the system dry. We find it hard to imagine both toilets without water, if only for odors. Well, this system does not relieve so much and it is possible according to many users to ask them in the hut. A test by community size. Personally, I prefer to the outside is already more intimate. There are those who have installed it in an apartment, it said, but for the facts:
We will talk autonomy from the water, but it goes without saying that the system will save a lot of flush toilets for cabaniers who live near a network
It is simply a wooden box big enough but nothing more to install either a trash bin or a stainless steel tank (see scrap) of approximately 40/50 litres and above you découperez a hole barely higher a classic bezel.
You will set bezel with a flap on the box about paying attention to tightening (painting) the edges: easy to clean in case of slippage. Do not fix the telescope too down because you might have stretched their legs (not easy)
A simple curtain or a door gives you access to the tank.
In this tank is succèderons layers of sawdust. So as essential oils to choose pines, chestnut, oak ... At least it will do with what is available at your scieur usual. 10 cm at the bottom and a good shovel (the broom) at each visit. You need a reservoir dust nearby.
So this system is not consuming so much sawdust, but the best is that you get more with a small installation type enclosures henhouse on a two metre metre organic compost worthy of the name in 12 / 24 months So it is important to calculate the management of the casting and the recovery of compost to enrich your garden with the approach of winter.
In summary, the chips absorb odors very well, the process of compost will reduce amoncèlement drain. So no cottages of sawdust behind the hut, and according to studies of low-risk development of pathogenic bacteria. See other ecological sites on the subject with your favorite search engine.
3) Kitchen: with little complication gas for cooking, also consider wood stove and a wood stoves.
::: cook on wood fire
Sauna
This place can be the object of a new construction. Hut for the friends the summer and an extraordinary place also in winter.
21/a Finnish sauna
A Finnish sauna is not very complicated to realize and especially can be situated in some cable's lengths of your hut in a place chosen with difference because it is above all a question of implanting a place of relaxation .Pas of anxiety, If you have to make one minute of walking(march) to find your house, even in - 10 °, stark naked, you will feel(smell) nothing if you go out of a session in 80 °.
16/A cool shedule
The ideal is to develop:
1) sauna reduced in size (rapid heating), but can accommodate guests in summer (sleeping).
2) a room to change airlock, the rest between each session, and avoiding the loss of heat through an entrance onto the sauna outside.
3) a terrace ahead of the whole, where, as had made friends, you can quickly set up a bathtub old cool water in the great outdoors.
For the less handymen or longer occupied, there are kits very well made.
So you find 1,2,3, or more according to your feelings, moments of relaxation per week.
