Now I rely on my windvane (Monitor) self steering. Both times it destroyed both our Raymarine autopilots (yes, so much for backups!). Having twice been struck by lightning (once mid-Atlantic, once at anchor in Belize) I notice that nature isn't picky about what brand or make of electronics equipment it destroys. However, I hear that mariners are wise to such issues, and often get backup systems that are an entirely different brand than their primary. However, there could be some batch failure that makes them both unreliable. The one positive about this project would be if it's cheap enough that you could easily get two.

The Raspberry Pi uses 7.6 watts at full loadħ.6 watts / 2984 watts = 0.00254% of the horse's comfortable capacityĮven with horse to electricity conversion through some mechanism attached to one of the horse's legs, which would probably cut the horsepower by 1/4 if you only use1 leg, not being 100% efficient we only need much less than 1% of the horse's energy output.īit_user said:I would not trust a Pi for anything mission-critical. 's use 4 horsepower which I imagine would be a comfortable strideħ46 watts per horsepower * 4 horsepower = 2984 watts per horse electrical equivalent of one horsepower is 746 watts in the International System of UnitsĪ just learned this today but a single horse can make more than 1 horsepower.
Now we are talkingĪ horse is theoretically able to make enough power to power a Raspberry Pi. Robotbo圓21 said:A boat computer for sailors? Are they sure it's not intended for those who travel by horse?Powering a Raspberry Pi with a boat.
