Using the car's battery to generate electricity for mining while driving.

[Brushless4500KV 4214]

When it comes to mining, cost of electricity is always a negative factor that cuts into profit. Miners always look for cheap (or even free) electricity to maximize their profit. I thought about a solution which can be used for mining easy coins in small scales. You all know that the car's battery generates 12V but we need 220V for running mining equipment. There are some devices called inverters that can turn 12V into 220V. By using this device, you can provide the electricity you need for your mining and the best thing about it is that it is totally free because when your engine is running, the alternator keeps charging the battery and you have electricity as long as the engine is on. By doing this, you can earn a few coins while driving to work or coming back to home. I haven't tried it yet but I want to know if anyone here has thought about the same idea. This is a picture of an inverter.

I never wanted a car until now. How cool it would be to mine bitcoins with that. But how is that affecting to battery life? There are usually trade-offs with these kind of systems, as to my knowledge, there's no "free" energy.

As I said earlier, I haven't tried it yet but if it is used to mine coins with low difficulty numbers and simple algorithms like Doge, it would not affect the battery severely. In any case, it will reduce the life of battery but I can't say any numbers now. Energy is just transformed not lost and this electricity is provided through the petrol that is consumed by the engine. But people drive their cars often whether they mine with it or not. This is why I thought about the idea of turning driving into a little bit of income.

Your idea is correct regarding the device that converts the battery 12 volts to 220 volts, but my friend we need several batteries and the price is not cheap in addition to that these batteries need charging either we charge them on electricity or by car engine and therefore losses in both cases

This idea is unique I had to give it a heart. I guess you would need a notebook running inside the car then to take advantage of this which is not ideal but otherwise a cool story and setup.

If you want to try it, only use it to mine very easy coins. It is not an ideal method for mining heavy coins with complex algorithms such as bitcoin and ethereum. I think the electricity provided with the inverter should be enough to run a small GPU rig but nothing more than that. Before doing anything, make sure you car's battery is fully charged and your alternator is working properly. You can test the voltage of your battery with an OHM meter before mining. And don't do it with the engine off because it will drain the battery. During the mining all electrical devices should be off to save energy such as stereo, heater, headlights. It is better to drive in the morning without lights.

Hi. I haven't tried the way you said it. I don't know how useful it is, but I find it very interesting. Can take advantage of work and drive can exploit bitcoin. But I was afraid of being influenced by something. I will consider it.

This is a very relevant comment. I agree that the idea is interesting but she can't be applied in a profitable way, especially in the case of BTC mining.

It seems a nice idea but we have to see it negative as defecting the car batteries and consuming a lot of fuel, but for me i prefer the solar panel, you pay for it once and you will forget about the energies cost, knowing that there is already many mining farms using this technology.

I learned something new in your post. I had never thought about using solar panels for generating electricity but it has a big problem. You will be limited to shiny and sunny days to use the power of sun to charge your panels. You can't mine any coin when the weather is cloudy or at night when there is no sun in the sky. We have two different types of car batteries. Normal batteries and the batteries that are used in hybrid cars. The second one is much more powerful and can be used for mining with less negative effect on the lifespan.

I also emphasized that this method is only good for easy coins. BTC mining in small scale is not profitable and you need a proper mining farm to turn bitcoin mining into profit. Monero is a fine example of an easy coin that can be mined with a CPU and the car's battery can generate enough electricity to run a CPU while driving.

This is a completely new mining idea. I have never thought of. Have you proceeded to work? This mining is an energy-saving, cost-effective way to mine altcoins, I'm afraid it will affect car batteries. I'm not sure this is because I'm afraid there will be losses

[guatazoo 7150]

Why to be using mining battery to mine bitcoins while driving? Because you'll not save nothing here, because the  car using fuel to drive, so why don't you use solar power energy instead of  car battery 

[bliznec 22267]

This invention, this is a particularly individual approach to starting to mine cryptocurrency using a car and a driver behind the wheel. Thanks for revealing the mining. 

[Jaysen0104 536]

This is a good method to lessen the cost of electricity in mining but is the car battery enough to support the number of watts needed in mining? I think it is not but you can earn from it and if you compare to the normal mining the earning is low. And yes you are saving electricity but you spend a lot for the fuel you need to run the car.

[iloveyobit 6599]

Personally, I did not try it, but I think it will not work, because the mining devices need  constant electricity in order to work with the same ritual, otherwise it will be destroyed. anyone have tried it?

[Zaino34 0]

We know that mining requires a lot of electric energy and we must find less expensive energy sources. This is a good way, but I have not tried it and some people are setting up mining farms and adopting solar energy as a source of electricity.

[koussai999 1986]

My friend, the electric current in this case needs a generator in order to charge the battery that you will use for mining and also I think the payoff will be small and you need the fuel that you will find in a small percentage that you did not save anything but rather you increased the price of electricity

[Soaib khan 1035]

that's a great idea some days ago I heard idea about solar power mining in my opinion both ideas are very good because in these idea we don't need any kind of electricity

Car battery is not a good idea, it is not also safe, using inverted and solar is better but so expensive and its maintenance is so expensive too. 

Car batteries can be good for mining but the connection may be risky and also a way to charge it is another concern, solar battery and solar panel will be better but the best is to have cold weather and access to public cheap electricity. 

[Calvinpriva 17296]

This is a good idea friend because you will save electric bills by doing this. But i think you will mining very slowly because not all the time you will drive your car. This idea will be good for uber drivers because they drive their cars everyday and every time.

[Crypto123 0]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts here, my friend, the idea is beautiful from the theoretical point of view, but from a practical point of view I think it is difficult if you think a little, you will find some problems: for example, where will you put the mining device or the mining computer and the car is going to be shaken, this is bad for the device, as well: have you thought about the internet The device must be connected to the internet, and here WIFI must be provided in all places where the car is traveling.

[Raqeebzy 6456]

A very good topic. Normally, after a car has been ignited, the battery is no longer in use, it start charging so it can be taken as an advantage. So I believe some coin like monero or Litecoin can be mined using this. With this, the electricity problem is solved and cost economise but we have to know it has side effects on the battery.

This idea is quite good, but I disagree with you with the word free to run the engine that charges the battery, it needs fuel in order to operate, and that this price is a little high, and mining through the car battery cannot bring us profits as much as we get by mining Using regular electricity

is the gas free? or maybe if somebody would turn the wheels manually? why not simply using the fuel generators, then?

What gas? We are talking about the possibility of using a car battery coupled with an inverter to generate electricity to mine maybe while taking a long drive. We are definitely not taking this as a permanent solution to the power problem. Please make sure you understand the topic before replying, don't just reply for the sake of it. 😏

[Honny143 13612]

You're idea is really amazing but in my opinion solar system is  much better to replace electricity, but in your idea when we go in long drive then profitable to mine, but in solar one time investment and produce energy when we want and  mine coins around 12 hours, 

[Liliz 529]

This is quite a thoughtful idea as an alternative way of saving our power supply in order to avoid heavy electricity bills, mining consumes alot of electricity suupply tho. Bet am afraid what if the car battery weakens later as a result of heavy consumption? Car battery can't give an 100% satisfaction for the mining process all through.  Using of solar energy power for electrical consumption is a bit safer and would last longer than car battery. Car battery could be test on smaller process of mining before using it for huge mining process, so as to know its capabilities and duration for the mining process. 

[joemcgwa 3227]

I thinks your battery must be drained from that because the car its own using battery power and you also do mining while driving, this might be very dangerous.
