Introduction

Welcome back, guys! In this article, we will be discussing a different topic - powering our ACS at Burning Man. We have an upcoming trip to Burning Man and this year, we need to supply our own power for our air conditioning systems. After considering multiple options, we have decided to use the Predator 3500 Inverter Generator. In this article, we will discuss why we chose this generator, test its performance, and how we plan to power our yurt at the event.

The Need for Power at Burning Man

Burning Man is an event that takes place in the desert, and due to the extreme temperatures, it is crucial to have a reliable power source for air conditioning. We wanted to ensure that we would be comfortable during the event, and having the ability to power our own air conditioning units was essential.

Options for Power Supply

We explored various options for power supply, considering factors such as noise level, portability, and power output. One of the options we looked at was the Predator 8750, but it was too loud for the event. After careful consideration, we decided that the Predator 3500 Inverter Generator was the best option for our needs.

Choosing the Predator 3500 Inverter Generator

The Predator 3500 Inverter Generator stood out among the options we considered. It is known for its quiet operation, comparable to that of a Honda generator. This was particularly important for Burning Man, as quiet generators are mandatory at the event. The Predator 3500 also offers a substantial power output, making it suitable for our air conditioning units.

Testing the Generator

Before heading to Burning Man, we decided to test the generator's performance. We plugged in one air conditioner unit to see if the generator could handle the load. To our delight, the generator powered the air conditioner without any issues. Encouraged by the success of the test, we decided to connect two air conditioner units to the generator, and it performed flawlessly.

Powering the Yurt

During our time at Burning Man, we will be staying in a yurt instead of bringing our van. The yurt provides more space and allows us to have air conditioning without the need to keep the van's doors open. The generator will power the air conditioning units inside the yurt, ensuring a comfortable living space amidst the harsh desert conditions.

Why the Van is Not Taken to Burning Man

Many people assume that we would take our van to Burning Man, considering it as our home on wheels. However, there are several reasons why we prefer to stay in a yurt instead. Firstly, the yurt is more spacious and provides a cooler environment compared to the van. The desert temperatures at Burning Man can be scorching, and having the doors of the van constantly open would be impractical and uncomfortable. Additionally, the van would be prone to dust accumulation, which is difficult to clean in the desert environment.

Benefits of the Yurt

The yurt has several advantages over the van. It offers a cooler and more spacious living space, allowing us to escape the heat and have a comfortable place to relax. The yurt also provides better protection against the dust and sand that are prevalent at Burning Man, ensuring a cleaner and more enjoyable living environment.

Assembling the Yurt

To prepare for Burning Man, we need to assemble our yurt. While we cannot fully demonstrate the process in this article, we will give you an overview of what the yurt looks like and provide a tour of it at Burning Man in a future video. The yurt is a simple yet effective structure, offering a comfortable and spacious living space for our time at the event.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have chosen the Predator 3500 Inverter Generator as our power supply solution for Burning Man. It has proven to be reliable in our tests and has the necessary power to run our air conditioning units. Additionally, staying in a yurt instead of the van offers several benefits, including a cooler and cleaner living environment. We look forward to experiencing Burning Man in comfort and style thanks to our chosen power supply and accommodation options.
