Compiled from the October 30, 2026 Energy Deep Dive, Battery Restoration Procedures (P-001 to P-004), NEC Article 702 / 706 standby code path, NYSDEC Article 15 stream rules, and the P-006 Through-Barrier Wireless Power Ladder.
| Stage / Procedure | Hardware & Inventory Assets | Engineering & Code Specification | Instrumentation & Safety Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1: 1–10 W Bench & PM Generator P-004 · P-011 |
Currie Electro-Drive XYD-13 (24V, 600W PM DC motor, INV-0305), primitive Cu/Zn cell array, 100A/75mV shunt (P-011). |
Characterize open-circuit voltage vs. RPM (DT2234C+ tach) and loaded efficiency curve across resistive dummy loads. |
Log V, I, and W continuously with Fluke 287 + Fluke i1010 clamp. |
| Stage 2: 12V / 24V Battery Bank Restoration P-001 to P-004 · SP-10 |
Matched 6-DZM-18 (12V 18Ah gel pair, INV-0340), NAPA 6565 flooded lead-acid, Korad KA3005P programmable CC/CV supply. |
Decided Thresholds: Gel charge stop = 14.2 V; Lithium cell low-voltage cutoff = 2.0 V. Install rated DC fuse within 7 inches of every battery positive post + master battery disconnect switch. | Ventilate hydrogen during lead-acid charging. Per NYC Admin Code 309.3.5 & NY GBL 495-a, reconditioned lithium packs are strictly for in-house bench use (never sold). |
| Stage 3: NEC 702 Optional Standby Backup NEC 702 · NEC 706 |
Coleman Powermate 5000 / 6250W portable generator (INV-0412), listed mechanical breaker interlock or transfer switch, outdoor flanged power inlet. |
Step 1: Clamp service conductors with Fluke i1010 + Fluke 287 for 7 days to record true peak demand.Step 2: Connect generator strictly via listed transfer switch or breaker interlock ( NEC 702); NEC 706 for battery ESS. |
Never backfeed without listed transfer equipment. Operate generator outdoors minimum 20 ft from any window/door opening with working CO alarms active. |
| Energy Domain | Technical Protocol & Regulatory Gate | Required Bench / Field Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Wind Turbine Assessment Hub-Height Logging |
Wind power scales with cube of velocity (P ∝ v³). Small roof-mounted turbines suffer severe turbulence losses; log hub-height wind speed for 2–4 weeks with a logging anemometer before erecting any mast. |
Every PM wind/hydro charge controller MUST include an automatic diversion dump load so the rotor never spins unloaded into over-voltage/overspeed. |
| Micro-Hydro Assessment NYSDEC Article 15 |
Any intake, weir, or penstock work that disturbs the bed or banks of a protected stream (Class AA, A, B, or C(T)) requires an NYSDEC Protection of Waters (Article 15) permit. |
Perform dry-season bucket/weir flow measurement and static head survey first to calculate true continuous hydraulic watts (P = η · ρ · g · Q · H). |
| Qi Through-Barrier Wireless Power Ladder P-006 · Track W |
Stepped inductive / resonant coupling characterization through non-metallic wood, glass, and cast-resin barriers (1 mm to 25 mm spacing). | Measure DC-to-DC transfer efficiency and coil surface temperature at each spacer increment using Fluke 287 and Rigol DHO804. |
| Earth-Current & Plasma Acoustics BP-109 · Rule 7 |
Telluric / earth-battery pairs yield microwatts to milliwatts (electrochemical + ground-potential instrumentation demos). Plasma acoustics (BP-109) modulates high-frequency arc/corona inside a Faraday-screened cage. |
State all input/output losses transparently (Rule 7: zero free-energy claims); ozone ventilation & UV eye protection mandatory for BP-109. |
Step through Stages 1–3 or log battery voltage readings, shunt curves, and 7-day clamp load audits.
