.9 Volts!

My whole setup uses ~400 watts
Whats a watt? I dunno, I think it is just another way of saying volts.

With just 400 or so lemons I can easily play EVE for up to six hours on a single set of lemons.

400 lemons per six hours = a little less than a minute per lemon.

According to the USDA:
http://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/fvwretail.pdf

There are 43 lemons per pound. so every pound is 43 minutes of EVE

Alibaba will ship me 15kg or ~33lbs of lemons for as little as $10
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/536715791/Anyue_Grade_A_Fresh_Yellow_lemon.html

33lbs * 43 lemons = 1,419 minutes of EVE per $10 crate.

~23 hours rounding down,

Average of about 40 hours of EVE a week, rounding up for patching that's ~$20 or two cases of lemons per week.

$20 a week worth of lemon powered EVE.

$80 a month.

Just under $1000 per year.



$1000/$10 = 100 cases

100 cases * 33 lbs = 3,300 lbs of lemons.

43 lemons per pound * 3,300 lbs of lemons

And all it takes is 141,900 Lemons



Playing EVE the enviroMENTAL way... Priceless



But the lemon's have it. You can play EVE off-grid where big brother can't find you, for $1000 a year or ~ 3,300 lbs of lemons per year.

Now with 100% less Troll.

You'll also never have to worry about Scurvy again.

Never change, Tom Gerard.

It's a shame that you won't be able to make lemonade with all of those lemons though :(

If you live near a pond or a lake, you can throw the used up lemon juice in it afterwards. Good old commercial dumping never hurt anyone. How do you turn that off, or a power surge. People are doing genetic changes to fruits and vegies, so you might get a few overly potent lemons every now and then.

Watts and volts aren't the same thing and I don't think this is going to work quite the way you'd expect.

I know :( I'm in a ****** mood today.

At first I was like, that's pretty neat. Then I was like, wait a minute, I think it takes more then 9v to run my computer. I mean, I plug it into a wall that puts out 120v or something, and my power supply is more than 9v.

Pork Bellies and Orange Juice, Mr. Valentine has set the price

Can I use Oranges instead ?

PS- watts = volts * amps

Voltage will be easy just put them in series.
The amps is your problem.
You will need a ton more put in parrallel to get the amps.

you dont make lemonade.... you make combustible lemons....

EVE is like swimming on a beach in shark infested waters,  There is however a catch...  The EVE Beach you also have to wonder which fellow swimmer will try and eat you before the sharks.
