September is Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) National Preparedness Month, and Dennis Evers might just be one of the most prepared men in America.

What’s Evers’ secret? Part of it is having an AIMS Power Inverter for an emergency backup power system, because it’s necessary in preparing for just about anything.

Dennis Evers, "The Godfather Prepper"

Dennis Evers, The man National Geographic dubbed "The Godfather Prepper", says having an AIMS Power inverter should be first on your checklist for National Preparedness Month in September.

Evers’ preparation skills were made famous on National Geographic’s popular show “Doomsday Preppers”, and he says that behind food, water, and shelter — having electricity is essential in a disaster situation.

“Psychologically, I believe it’s essential to be able to see a light go on when you flip the switch,” Evers said. “Watching television, cooking, turning on a reading light, playing games or using appliances are activities that will divert your attention from whatever the disaster may be and help you get through it.”

AIMS Inverters Power Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade

AIMS power inverters play pivotal role in Walt Disney’s Main Street Electrical and Fantasmic! parades. 

Powering a parade float — especially with a gazillion lights on it — is no easy task, but AIMS Power inverter systems can provide the mobile electricity needed for even the most high-profile events.

The world-renowned Walt Disney Main Street Electrical Parade started in 1972 and still attracts a crowd, featuring close to half an hour of non-stop sparkling spectacles that gallivant down the streets of Disney World.

Powering this parade that has more than half a million lights is quite the feat, but seeing thousands of LEDs sparkle in children’s eyes makes everything worth it.

Fantasmic! accomplishes this feat every day of the week at Disneyland in Anaheim, California

AIMS Power inverters proudly support these efforts to go above and beyond what is seemingly possible within the realm of mobile power in order to make the lives of children magical.

Parade floats are an inverter application we haven’t forgotten here at AIMS Power.

Give us a call today at 775-359-6703 if you need help powering your parade! No float is too big or too small for us to help you design your power system!

Inverters by AIMS power off-grid cabins

10000 watt power inverter model by AIMS Power is perfect for off-grid cabin applications.

AIMS Power is dedicated to providing the best products possible to its customers, which is why this new version of the 10000 watt 12 volt inverter was developed. It’s less than half the size and weight of any other model you can find on the market — guaranteed (more specs below). So packing it up and taking it out to an off-grid cabin or using it for any other mobile application is easier than ever.

AIMS Power's new 10000 watt 12 volt inverter is less than half the size of the competition's, making for more flexibility in mobile and off-grid applications.

AIMS Power’s new 10000 watt 12 volt inverter transforms direct current (DC) electricity generated by batteries into alternating current (AC) electricity used to power lights, TVs, vacuums, coffee pots, air conditioners and many other appliances needed to feel cozy in an off-grid cabin.

The inverter’s 10000 watt continuous output combined with its 20000 watt surge capacity means that this AIMS Power product can handle the high wattage startup for air conditioners and air compressors. These products use what’s called locked rotor startup or locked rotor amperage (LRA) which means when starting they require about three to five times their regular wattage.

Even if not using anything that requires LRA, the high wattage capacity on this inverter means that more appliances can be used at once. So for instance, one person could be washing dishes with hot water and another vacuuming in the other room without any problems. Just make sure the combined wattage of the appliances being used doesn’t exceed 10000 watts and doesn’t surge higher than 20000 watts for more than 40 milliseconds.
