Practical Hardware Courses & On-Site Audits
Ground-level education rooted in physical thermodynamics, industrial electrical compliance, and electronic component diagnostics. No software abstract theory—just hands-on hardware benches in Cowwarr, Victoria.
Flagship Program
Practical ASIC Deployment & Thermal Engineering Masterclass
Two-day intensive hands-on workshop covering hardware teardown, power balancing, ducting fabrication, and custom firmware calibration.
- Complete physical teardown, ultrasonic cleaning, and repasting of Antminer / Whatsminer hashboards.
- Calculating 3-phase balancing, sub-board breaker sizing, and continuous load factors according to AS/NZS 3000.
- Designing negative-pressure intake/exhaust plenums with acoustic silencer boxes that drop ambient noise by 24 dB.
Consultation & Audit
Power Distribution & AS/NZS 3000 Compliance Assessment
Practical pre-installation audit and load calculation for residential sheds, farm outbuildings, and regional commercial units.
- Calculation of continuous electrical draw factoring in 80% continuous duty rating.
- Phase balance roadmap to prevent neutral conductor overheating on 3-phase supplies.
- Custom single-line layout ready to present directly to your licensed electrical contractor.
Advanced Technical Course
Dielectric Immersion Cooling & Waste Heat Recovery Workshop
Hands-on instruction in single-phase dielectric fluid systems, dry cooler sizing, pump hydraulics, and workshop heating integration.
- Understanding dielectric fluid chemistry: synthetic hydrocarbons vs fluorochemicals, flash points, and elastomer compatibility.
- Sizing brazed plate heat exchangers, magnetic-drive circulation pumps, and closed-loop dry coolers.
- Preparing ASIC units for fluid submersion: fan spoofing, thermal paste removal, and gasket sealing.
Specialist Skills
Hashboard Diagnostics & Micro-Soldering Fundamentals
Practical training in test fixture troubleshooting, domain voltage tracking, and surface-mount ASIC chip replacement.
- Operating official diagnostic test fixtures to isolate faulty ASIC chips in a domain chain.
- Tracing clock (CLK), reset (RST), input (RX), and output (TX) serial transmission signals with an oscilloscope.
- Using pre-heating plates and temperature-profiled hot air nozzles to desolder and resolder high-pin-count ASIC chips without warping the substrate.
Advisory & Modeling
Solar Integration & Rural Tariff Strategy Consultation
Tailored feasibility analysis for farming properties and commercial solar owners seeking to monetize zero-feed-in wholesale hours.
- Financial breakeven modeling based on current network service provider (AusNet/Powercor) tariff structures.
- Hardware selection roadmap balancing capital cost against low capacity factor operation (operating 5–7 hours daily during peak sunshine).
- Automated load shedding strategies using Modbus inverter relays and Home Assistant / Python daemons.
