SunEp028 - Connections: Sunshine, PowerCuts, Summits(1hr) This marks the 60th episode of the Sunshine & PowerCuts Podcast.In the early days, there were a few bonus episodes due to the excitement for this creative journey and gratitude for the support I received early on. And, here we are.60 episodes, a number of guest appearances, three livestream events with 34 guest spots... It would all be for naught without you.Thank you!To the listeners of the podcast!To those who have become patrons!To the other podcast hosts who have invited me to join them in conversations.To the mentors and new found friends, as well as the other content creators and their audiences that have supported and participated in the Sunshine Summits. Naturally, at the heart of Sunshine & PowerCuts is connections.Being connected to nature as a resource for generating both electrical power and for our own health and empowerment. When we face challenges or experience powercuts (lost connections) in life, we need to reconnect, re-sync and recharge. And along our journeys we connect with resources and people that help us and which we are truly grateful for and they are an integral part of our journey of learning about ourselves and the world around us.Bringing people together to shine a light on and share those experiences is powerful. We have three previous episodes on Connections with guests: Jilanne Holder, Alysa Lucas and Emily Prokop. For this episode, the tables are turned and with the help of the wonderful Stephanie Fuccio of Changing Scripts, Virtual Expats and Expat Rewind who was one of my guests for the March 2019 Sunshine Summit and offered to interview me, we look at the theme of connections which is the foundation and link between the sunshine, the powercuts and the summits. Thank you to the following Sunshine Summit Guests for their questions:Derek Graziano - Rolling MisadventuresWin Kelly Charles - Ask Win PodcastEmily Prokop - Story Behind Podcast & E-Podcast Productions Stargate Pioneer - Better PodcastingAnthony Conte - Off Center Archers PodcastPaul Csomo - Varmints Podcast I hope that you enjoy this insight into myself, and what this is all about. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Hello and welcome to the Sunshine & PowerCuts podcast.My name is Heather and I am your host on this journey of empowerment.

SunEp027 - Music By Nature The quote from Shakespeare "The earth has music for those who listen" is a favourite one of mine and the foundation of this episode. So is my motto Life is beautiful; enjoy it's beauty, because the gifts of nature are there for us to enjoy if we make time and take time to experience them.Sound, and particularly music is an important part of my wellbeing.I've also mentioned elsewhere that when I go out in nature I leave other sounds behind and just absorb the sounds of the world around me. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Hello and welcome to the Sunshine & PowerCuts podcast.My name is Heather and I am your host on this journey of empowerment.

Let me know which sounds you hear often, where and when you make time to listen? What did you notice when you tuned in to your own internal self-noise?

PowEp026 – Heat Wave, Thermodynamics, Music by NatureIn this episode we begin with a few announcements: Sunshine & PowerCuts can now be found on GeeksRising.com Geeks Rising is a curated podcast network which features podcasts by passionate people encouraging you to explore your passions and empowering you to become a better creator.In association with Geeks Rising, preparation is underway for the March Sunshine Summit 2019 livestream event.A huge thank you to the Patrons of Sunshine & PowerCuts for their support which helped secure the home for the event at sunshinesummit.liveHere you'll find the details of the guest list and schedule, as well as links to the previous events and it is where the livestreams for 2019 will be taking place.So head over and check it out. If you know the guest we'd love you to come and celebrate with us. If they are new to you, come and meet them and get to know them. We look forward to connecting with you in the live chat during the event.From this episode:We've had a heat wave with temperatures in excess of 33C inside my house, even with all the doors and windows open hoping to catch a breeze.The spa pool has been in use to cool down, and I briefly mention the different ways we've tried to heat the water up to take the chill off - because with the air temperature being so hot and no heating element for the pool, it makes it easier to get in when the difference is not so vast.At the January Wellington Podcast Brunch Club meetup, one of the members asked me about Stirling Engines.There's a lot to know about Stirling Engines so I encourage you to look into it, if you aren't already familiar.Correction: in the episode I say that there is "fluid of gas" - what I mean is that there is fluidity or movement of the gas between a hot region and cold region. Also the heat and cold are applied externally to the closed system. Then I share an article I came across which I found really interesting, about a NZ scientist who took weather data and assigned musical instruments in software to represent the data points and the result was nature's own symphony.Links from this Episode:https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/379899/listen-niwa-scientist-converts-weather-patterns-into-music I'd love to hear from you:Let me know if you have experience with Stirling Engines, if you're in a heatwave, how you've been keeping cool (or how you've been keeping warm if it's cold where you are), when you've noticed the music of nature from example I was woken by the rain at 2:30am and I enjoyed listening to the waves of rain influenced by the wind. And finally, if you know of any instances where information has been shared in a creative way like in the article about the Scientist converting weather patterns into music. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The Sunshine & PowerCuts podcast:Hosted by Heather Welch This podcast features two types of episodes which alternate.

SunEp026 - Refreshment Before we begin, think about what 'refreshment' means to you. Refreshment can be starting again, when we experience a change, rest and find renewed strength and energy. We look at themes of refreshment: the natural cycle of daily rhythms, and the seasons, of love, solitude, silence, of being refreshed by water and nourishment, by being in gratitude and by getting fresh air, some space and some perspective. And by taking notice of nature to be refreshed by being in awe of the beauty it beholds. Listen to this episode, and find one way that you can refresh yourself today. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Hello and welcome to the Sunshine & PowerCuts podcast.My name is Heather and I am your host on this journey of empowerment.

PowEp025 - Sunshine Hours, Measuring Power, Growth & Duck CurvesThis first PowerCut Episode for 2019 has a lot in it!We begin with a recap of the total Sunshine Hour, temperature and rainfall results of 2018 from the latest NIWA report.How 2019 is shaping up so far.The plan was to record some data to share some information about how much power the system is generating... And we look at the challenges I faced in that process.We look at three stages of charging process for the battery bank: Bulk Charging, Absorbing, Floating.I link this episode to the previous SunEp025 - on Growth, and share about the organic orchard we have.And finally wrap up with a news article that caught my eye about the 'Duck Curve' in the National Electricity Market.Terms/Definitions:Amp Hour - An ampere hour (abbreviated Ah / sometimes amp hour) is the amount of energy charge in a battery that will allow one ampere of current to flow for one hour. An ampere is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor. Kilowatt hour (kWh) is a unit of energy equal to 3.6 megajoules. If energy is transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt hours is equal to the power in kilowatts multiplied by the time in hours.

SunEp025 - Growth First we look at what growth is and terms related to growth. Growth takes time and the changes can be uncomfortable. We and others around us may also have expectations related to growth. And we require the right growing conditions. What are some examples of growth you notice in nature?

PowEp024 - 7th Anniversary Off-Grid Each year in December marks the anniversary of this journey living off-the-power grid. In this episode I look back over the past 7 years, the highlights and the lowlights, the opportunities and my goals for the future. Despite the powercuts (challenges), there is a lot to be thankful for too... Thank you for listening to this podcast and joining me on this journey! Thank you to those who have invited me to be a part of their projects,and to the wonderful guests I have had on the podcast and as part of the two Sunshine Summit Events in March and August 2018.

And here's to the future full of new opportunities, to give value, to learn and grow, to create and develop connections and take notice and tune in with how the journey is going. How has the year been for you and what are your aims or dreams for the new year? I'd love to know and support you on your journey.

PowEp020 - Connection Challenges The Original Connection Challenge Struggling to have a power connection due to the weather and not having a backup option Internet Connection Challenges Important Connections to make when Off-the-Grid ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Introduction Hello and welcome to the Sunshine & PowerCuts podcast, my name is Heather and I am your host.

Sunshine ones offer inspiration drawn from nature, and the PowerCut episodes like this one are where I share honest insights into my life living off the power grid. Embark on a journey [em]powered by nature. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Notes from this episode: Internet Connection Speeds - the rate in megabits per second (Mbps) at which data is able to be downloaded from the internet to your computer and data is able to be uploaded from your computer to the internet. The faster the speed the faster the data is transferred, allowing for smoother livestreams for example. My original connection speed was 5Mbps down, 1Mbps up - which led to stability issues whilst connecting via video and livestreaming. The upgraded speed for the Sunshine Summit was 30Mbps down, 5Mbps up - which allowed the livestreams to go ahead. The reason the speeds were taken away at the end of August according to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) was due to the tower the signal was coming from hadn't been upgraded to be able to cope with sending data that fast wirelessly. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Important Links: Website: www.sunshineandpowercuts.com Patreon: www.patreon.com/SunshineAndPowerCuts TeeSpring: https://teespring.com/stores/sunshine-powercuts YouTube: youtube.com/HeatherWelch_life-is-beautiful Twitch: twitch.tv/sunpowerpod Ways you can connect with me: Tweet me on Twitter @SunPowerPod Follow me on Instagram @SunPowerPod Email me at hello@sunshineandpowercuts.com Leave me a comment on Facebook @SunshineAndPowerCuts If you have a story you'd like to share - fill in the form at the bottom of the Contact Page of the Sunshine & PowerCuts Website And you can Support the Show and get access to exclusive content and bonus episodes on Patreon. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Upcoming Event: International Podcast Day 2018 - September 30th Celebrate the Power of Podcasting I have been invited to be a guest speaker for the official International PodcastDay 2018 livestream event.
