High energy consuming hobbies/jobs/equiptment...

[ocean99]

What are some high energy consuming things that one might say their garden is if the need arises? Anywhere from 1k-4k watts would be helpful.

Thanks

If someone comes and asks you why you are using extra electricity...Then they probably are already suspicious.

Wow, fuckin blasted.

I meant to say for like renting a place out (as in I'm using this place for ____, Mr. Landlord), economy going down is making HUGE commercial warehouses around here really fucking cheap rent and I'm motherfucking interested.

If you're considering renting a large commercial warehouse, 1-4k watts isn't going to raise any eyebrows.

I'm pretty sure a basic home computer uses anywhere from 400-1000w, as well as air conditioners, fridges, etc.

Say you make furniture, or you are starting a catering company, or you are a computer repairman/ web designer/ sever operator.

Get one of them stand-alone mini sauna things...about the size of a phone booth.

They chew up whacks of power....just say you spend lotsa time innit every day......

Like said many times on ICmag, a ceramic kiln is a good option as well (3500/4000 kW)

Yep,an old cheap kiln just sitting there with a bunch of pots on top.

Just make sure you have the right power hooked up or at least screw a recepticle on the wall and say it went out yesterday if need be.

Realize when you rent a warehouse, office or any other commercial rental you will have a fire inspector and other city/state ententes visiting unannounced. Not to mention dealing with the landlord salesman ect.,Just a thought. Karma, One Love

if your not putting 30kw+ in a warehouse its not a good idea to rent one

Hell my 3 computers alone run almost 1800w WITHOUT the monitors.

Just say you operate a porn site. If he asks, direct him to some freaky animal farm site, he may never bother you again.

I'm not 100% sure but a 600w. Power supply on a computer is the max it can use IF you are running enough to do that.

42" plasma TV burns 370w, Coral reef tank 1000w (with pumps and filters), Electric space heater 1500w, waterbed heater 1100w, electric oven 4400w (maybe you are always baking)?, coffee maker 900w, Desktop computer with 17" CRT 340w, Microwave 1400w, electric grill 1500w... there's a few normal items that use lots of juice.
