Moixa Smart DC and Storage energy system stores power from local renewables or at off-peak times via smart meter communication, to power an efficient DC-DC network for LED lighting, computing, electronics and gadgets. This reduces inverter and AC/DC lossess, and means you can use energy at peak times and avoid peak energy/carbon cost. If the grid fails, you can keep powering your DC devices, and continue to communicate and compute. The Moixa Smart DC and Storage energy system is a must going into 2012, with increased energy prices, and a growing DC future.

We’re extremely lucky this year to have Gary “Bababooey” Dell’Abate and Jon Hein, of the Howard Stern Wrap Up Show to emcee the Last Gadget Standing . They love products and they love the CES crowd.

Smart Meters Are NOT Green.
Concepts and theory sounds great, but upon closer inspection:
1. Customer information from smart meters is NOT formatted for customers and does NOT change customer behavior towards conservation.
2. Increased utility rates may decrease energy usage but that can be done with inexpensive time-of-use meters, NOT requiring expensive smart meters.
3. The cost – benefit of smart meters is horrendous and is being promoted to profit the utility companies and their suppliers, not customers or our society or our environment.
4. The Smart Grid does NOT use or require a smart meter on each home. The necessary smart information can be gathered much more efficiently and timely and inexpensively at energy distribution points. (The smart grid does not care how much power any one home uses.)
5. The vast amount of unnecessary and nearly useless information to be handled and stored may actually end up raising energy usage.
6. This massive Billions-of-dollars smart meter program will leave NO funds for programs that would truly bring energy saving solutions and the public will not be receptive to real solutions after being burned by these Smart meters.

SMART METER HEALTH PROBLEMS AND CANCER.
2. The WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION on May 31 2011 placed the Non-ionizing radiation coming from Wireless smart meters (and some other wireless devices) on the Class 2-B Carcinogen List.

3. The NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH Feb 2011 found biological changes in the brain after only minutes of exposure to non-ionizing radiation.

4. LABORATORY SCIENTISTS have observed (1) Human Cell Damage (2) DNA Chain Breaks (3) Breaches in the Blood-Brain Barrier from levels of non-ionizing radiation lower than emitted by WIRELESS Smart meters.

Cell Phone use and other devices are Voluntary and can be shut off at the user’s discretion, but Smart meters mounted on homes are emitting radiation 24/7 and can not be shut off.

9. RADIATION MEASURED FROM SMART METER MOUNTED ON A HOME (once active in the utility system) SHOWS RADIATION TRANSMISSION PULSES APPROXIMATELY ONCE EVERY FOUR SECONDS 24 HOURS PER DAY traveling through the bodies and brains of the inhabitants of that home. Youtube Video (6 minutes, 1st minute is sufficient)

NOTE: many of the tests on non-ionizing radiation (the type of radiation emitted by smart meters) have been done using instruments other than smart meters because smart meters have only been in people’s homes for a very short time.
But as a Wireless smart meter emits 100 times more radiation than a cell phone, it is not difficult to project. If a machine gun (smart meter) fires 100 bullets in the same time that a pistol (cell phone) fires one bullet, it is not difficult to project the harm that the machine gun can inflict, even if the tests were done with the pistol.

Wow robin you obviously don’t like smart meters
This technology is not a smart meter! It is an energy system that powers all things DC in your home such ad DC LED lighting , computing, electronics
We agree real time displays and smart meter data rarely changes consumer behaviour, nor does high prices (think petrol price hikes). What matters most is powering energy as efficiently and economically as possible. For moixa this means getting rid of ac/dc and inverter losses, using intelligence to turn off related devices when not needed, providing cost benefit/subsidy to help change to efficient devices (like led lighting or dc oled tv) and pulling power from solar during the day to use in the evening or charging over night when power is cheaper
Without technology like moixa for powering and storing energy we agree the smart grid/meter won’t work as there is little smart things they can do
Does “local renewables” include solar panels installed on a user’s house? I think this is a good idea in theory, but would having a DC power storage mean that you have to rewire a bunch of things in your house that you want to connect to DC? Isn’t that inefficient for the user?
