  • Sorry - This isn't a blacksmithing video (maybe next time).
    I've just purchased and installed a Pneumatic Power Hammer (forging hammer) for blacksmithing and wanted to see what affect it has on my renewable set-up.
    I have 2 x "Tesla Powerwall 2" batteries, which give a combined storage of 27 kWh, and a continuous output capability of 10 kW (short term peek of 14kW).
    On the roof of the garage I have a 5kW Solar PV Array.
    On the roof of the house I have a 3 panel Solar Hot Water array.
    I have a MyEnergi EDDI unit that takes surplus energy and directs it into the immersion heater on the water tank.
    I have two Emporia Energy Monitoring units, one in the garage and one in the house, with a CT clamp on every MCB unit in the fuse box (distribution board). It was a tight fit with the UK fuse boxes but I was able to do it.
    The Anyang ST 25kg power hammer I'm powering from a 3 phase converter.
    When the power hammer is running there are spurious inputs and outputs from the grid.
    I've now tested it on two different 3 phase converters with the same result.

    Interesting stuff! Have always wondered about solar and a modern shop. Now, maybe, the Tesla battery vs the arc or the tig..... Thanks for the video!

    Maybe try getting your wood hotter before trying to forge, and you're less likely to splinter it if you do it on a wooden anvil.

      Do you think Lignum vitae would be good for an anvil? 😀
      I'll have to try forging some Cricket Bats....

      @@theamateurblacksmith It's not bad, but better for use as a hammer. 👍
