Practical Hashrate & Immersion Lab (2-Day Workshop)

“We had 85kW of rooftop solar on our packing shed that AusNet capped to 5kW export. Attending the 2-day immersion workshop in Cowwarr gave me the exact electrical schematics to build an automated 40kW immersion tank using dielectric fluid. Sizing the brazed plate heat exchanger for our 40°C February days was the key insight. The course is very dense—there is a lot of electrical math packed into Day 1 which felt rushed before lunch, but having the physical test tank running in front of us made the concepts stick.”

ASIC Diagnostic & Component-Level Repair Masterclass

“I have been wiring three-phase switchboards for 15 years, but troubleshooting domain voltage faults on Antminer hashboards was a different discipline. Lachlan's microscope bench setup and oscilloscope signal tracing guide showed me how to pinpoint failing LDO voltage regulators in under ten minutes. We recovered four dead boards on our very first practice run.”
