All new inverter equipment is phase locked. How do you think solar panels are feeding the grid?

Really low voltage running backwards through an inverter? Try it with 440’s running off two out-of-phase engines.

I am telling you, we tried it - and we blew the building up. Twice.

Sudden dissemambly of the entrire facility.

The safety precautions on the second genset were funny - concrete walls, a blow-out-roof, etc., etc.,...

Alas, it turned out to be necessary. The sucker is probably still in low-earth orbit.

I guess that you are thinking of the 12-volt capacitor pack that powers a laptop - like a Dell. Plug it in anywhere, it works.

Well, guess what. That technolnology is not scalable to useful sizes.

And, to be honest, I was the one pushing for it. THIS technology will save soooo many lives...

Only it could not be done.
