Are green smoothies better for you? on November 8th, 2012 What about green smoothies? I blend apples, bananas, blueberries and spinach. Heidi Woodruff / Originally asked on Best fruit juice I’m a huge green smoothie fan! You’re taking the healthiest thing on the planet (dark green leafy vegetables) and releasing all that nutrition (you could never really chew that well). In fact I just wrote the foreword for the Complete Idiot’s Guide to Green Smoothies, which will be out May 2012. I’m currently compiling all the data in the scientific literature on the health effects of green smoothie consumption (for example there was a promising experimental trial recently performed in the UK). So stay tuned for a smoothie video in the 2013 batch I’m currently working on. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss it!

Stoelting Slush Puppie 100-C Slush MachineThe new redesigned and larger capacity 2015 edition of the Humless L1500 Series Solar Generator is one of the best portable power sources available. Providing a clean, safe and mobile power outlet anywhere you want or need power. A 1500 watt continuous 2000 watt peek pure sine wave AC power inverter gives you the ability to run high wattage devices and appliances. It can also provide direct 12v DC power and has four USB outlets. These power output options are served by the state of the art lithium iron (LFP) based internal battery which has a power capacity up to 1200 watt hours (100AH Amp hour) of electricity on a full charge.

What sets the Humless 1500 series apart and really makes it better than other battery packs or portable power sources is the lithium iron phosphate (kitchenaid mixer bi mart LiFePO4) battery that resides inside the L-1500. hamilton beach 58148 power elite multi function blender reviewNot only is it much lighter than lead acid batteries but the lithium battery will provide more power per pound than sealed lead acid batteries which are the type primarily used in other comparable battery powerpack systems. bamix stick blender myerTechnical jargon aside, it simply means more power output and total power capacity in a smaller lighter weight box.stick hand blender - professional - cucina romana

When it comes to life expectancy a lithium battery is the champ in both the number of times it can be charged and discharged and the life in years it will last in storage and use. hamilton beach personal blender 51103The Humless L-1500's battery can be charged 3-6 times more in terms of cycle life, (2000+ cycles vs 400-800 cycles) compared to a similar capacity lead acid battery. philips hand blender 1617 reviewThe Humless's lithium battery can also sit in storage for a year or more without needing to be recharged which compared to a lead acid battery would require a charge every few months or would need to be plugged in on a constant trickle charge to maintain it's health. blendtec wildside hp3a total blender

More powerpack batteries of the lead acid variety are lost to neglect from not being maintained in a charged state than from being worn out from actual use. The L-1500's lithium battery technology preserves your investment without the need to babysit it when it's not in use. Just charge it minimally once a year and it will be ready to use when you need it. If kept charged and well maintained it could last up to 7+ years or more while awaiting service or up to 5-7 years of daily use. The L-1500 can be charged multiple ways from it's built in charger using a regular AC wall outlet and the internal 25 amp charger, or from the included 2x 100 watt folding solar panels or any other 12V (nominal) DC power sources such as a solar panel, a pedal or hand crank dynamo, possibly a wind turbine, a car power outlet, or other DC powered generating devices (purchased separately). The L-1500 stores the captured power in a state of the art Lithium Battery pack to be taken with you and used whenever or where ever you might need it.

The L-1500's built in 1500 watt pure sine 110V AC inverter provides power to two GFI protected outlets for use. It also includes one 12V DC 10 Amp car type power outlets and two 12 volt DC 20 Amp Anderson Powerpole connectors often used by HAM radio operators and emergency responders. Built in are 4 x 2.1A USB ports to allow you to easily charge or power whatever USB type portable electronic devices or appliances you have. Whether you need to power a laptop, computer, medical device like a CPAP or BiPAP, run a fan or lights during an emergency or power outage, or simply watch a movie in the great outdoors, the Humless L-1500 will give you the power you need when you need it. With the whole power pack weighing in at 48 lbs, it’s transportable enough to take wherever you want to go without the noise, mess or danger of fuels such as gasoline or the harmful emissions they create. The L-1500 provides power on demand that is quiet and safe enough to use inside your home, car, RV, trailer or tent.

No generator that we know of is fuelless but capturing power from the sun with a solar panel and storing it in the L-1500's lithium battery is as pretty close to a real fuel-less generator and it couldn't be easier to use - just plug a 12v nominal 100-220 watt solar panel (2x 100w panels included, additional 100w solar panel optionally available) into the provided input ports and on a good sunny day you can fully recharge the battery from empty to full in 6-12 hours! Smaller solar panels work too but may take longer to recharge the battery. The internal lithium battery-pack makes the L-1500 a reliable and portable power source. With an estimated up to 7+ year battery life and a charge cycle rating of over 2,000 charges, the Humless L-1500 can be counted on when you need it most. The L-1500's battery is acid and lead-free and can sit in storage for over a year without being charged. The L-1500 will store well in your closet and always be ready to power your appliances and devices when you need to use them most or just far from the grid.

Your L-1500 comes partially charged and can be used right out of the box. (Recharge it once received to fully charge it) Product Contents (What comes in the box) 1 x Humless L-1500 comes with the following accessories: * 1.3kWh (~100ah) Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery provides ~1300 Watt hours of power. * Battery rated for up to 2,000 complete charge/discharge cycles and up to 7+ year battery life * Battery shelf-life: > 1 year between charges * Battery charge time approx 4-5 hrs (from a fully discharged battery-pack) using the built in high efficiency 25A AC smart-charger. * DC to AC Inverter provides 1500W Continuous / 2000W peak/surge 120VAC Output (Pure Sine Wave) * Integrated BMS battery management and overcharge & discharge protection system / charge control module * Built in auto reset fusing for maximum overload and short circuit protection.

It will run an average sized computer laptop for about 16 hours. It will power about 5-6 loads of laundry in an efficient front loader washing machine. It will run a grain mill or a Blendtec/Vitamix blender for the few minutes it takes to use those appliances and will still have power left over to run other devices. It can power a refrigerator or a freezer during a power outage but to extend the time it is recommended to plug in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes and then unplug it and wait 3-6 hours before you plug it in again and repeat the process for as long as power remains available.
