I'm thinking that floating a metalized-mylar hydrogen balloon over the New Jersey coast might do it. Would 120,000 feet of string be about right?

Are you throwing a party for the kids and want something that beats the ordinary party balloons?

Any reflective 600-foot baloon should do it.

Bjarney,
16kW!!
I should be able to see that over here in NZ!
Assuming that you are running it on 120V, it will draw 134A, how big's your flex?!.

I think that one would rate being a 240V design!

Thanks Paul,
That would be hard on the Power Bill!.

Er, the 10kW single-lamp version is listed as "208/480 volt, 3 phase power supplies". There just has to be a 380-415V 'export version' available.

Right now, the homestead has a whopping 125-amp 120/240V service. {The “new and improved” 20,780Y/12,000V utility feed with 3750kVA padmount transformer is due next week.}

Gee, BJ, are you trying to give California another power crisis all by yourself?!

Bjarney,
No point in doing things by halves, eh?
If you're gonna do it, DO IT!.

The big electric service is for my surplus 2200-ton chiller. {Summers are hot locally.} If my arithmetic is correct, then running the chiller for 2.7 seconds each day will keep the house cool for 24 hours. ;-)
