Thread: How do I calculate how much load can be carried by a table?

This thread has gone a bit flat.

Yes, we need the OP to take charge and spark up some more discussion.

Oh dear thats a shocker.

Stop being so negative!





(I promise that's the last one )

I think the current topic is becoming revolting and negative, but I positively deny having ample time for watt its worth...........

I had to read that at least 3 times to pick up all the puns, therefore I must congratulate you!

Now to the question:

What kind of table are we talking? Do you have any plans? It's difficult to give an answer without much info! Depending on your table dimensions, joints, timber chosen the load will vary. There's a lot of ways a table can break too - the top might split, the legs can fail in compression, your joints can snap etc etc.

Having said all that, I think I'd be concerned if a basic table couldn't hold 30-40 kilo!

Another question.
Is it necessary to place the battery on a table and not on the floor or anything else?

Any table can take 40 kilo even the ones from IKEA

Vaish did say "car battery."
Batteries are the heart and soul of any photovoltaic power system. Plate area matters for storing those precious amps. I use 6VDC batteries in series because the plate area is far greater than in a single 12VDC battery. Or so it was in that day and time. They all sit on a table because the floor is too freakin' cold in the winter at -20C and cold batteries do not want to spew out the amps.
Now the company has come out with a 12VDC battery which is no more than 2 x 6 in one case. DUH! I can't lift the sucker. It really must weigh 40kg. So, I'll buy 2 more 6VDC, put them in series and that unit in parallel with the other pair. I need more capacity.

If you live with a reliable and consistent electrical grid power system, you are indeed fortunate. I don't. I heat my house with a Harman P38+ compressed wood pellet stove
that sucks about 500 watts in the three motors (auger, exhaust and exchanger).

One of my neighbours has a Ferrari. He loves his beast and takes it out for a run every weekend. He starts the engine and let it warms up for a good 5 minutes in the garage. The engine is pretty noisy and sometimes it can be quite a shock to others. Babies wake up, babies cry, people spill their coffee and cats go hiding in ovens, etc…. Now you think if they can make a car runs fast then they should be able to make a engine run quietly. Well apparently not.

Now where were we? Oh yes car batteries. A neighbour once told me that he had to give the Ferrari a jump start. How funnys that. It has got to be one of the funniest things I’ve heard. "Excuse me Bob, my Ferrair won't start. Can you help?"

The question to Robson is, does a Ferrari use a 6VDC or 12VDC battery?

Ah, Wongo, that is the question.
Cubic inches means cubic feet of exhaust volume. You just can't choke that off, kind of constipating. I heard it coming = your average rag-top Ferrari with the top down. Dang good thing it did start as it was delivering my soon-to-be- SIL to the Egton Cathedral (Egton Bridge, N. Yorks.). I would have been sorely disappointed for the wedding if he didn't show up almost exactly 365 day ago, to be precise.

I would have enjoyed a race. My ride would have been my blueprinted 327 ragtop FI '63 Vette. 375Hp in a plastic car with no boot. Now I have a 4x4, 454 (7.6l) GMC Suburban, factory loaded. Kaka happens.

Too funny = I typed kaka happened. Yessir, it did. 1995

You know I have been thinking what kind of car batteries weight over 40kg suddenly Yes gotcha its got to be a toyota hybrid. The hybird has a massive battery. Sadly big battery means small boot. Now I have 3 kids, 3 beautiful girls actually, so how do you expect us to go on a holiday in such a tiny little car. Great idea but it is probably not for us right now. Rating 3 stars.
