It depends
Offline reference kit on a different site, for when the network is down. Not a generator, not a power station, and not a watts listing.
Outage Stack catalogs backup hardware. Air Gapped AI is the other site.
Air Gapped AI is a digital download: notes for a local model, plus PDFs, so answers still work after you disconnect. The homepage calls it an air-gapped assistant loaded with off-grid power, preparedness, and survival references. Local model, local files. No network required after setup.
No running watts, no surge, no watt-hours. Those stay on the generator and station pages. The computer is a load you measure there. The kit publishes no PC watts, so none are invented here.
The kit page, checked 3 Oct 2026, lists five documents: power-design notes (loads, batteries, fuel), prompts, a Windows quick start, PDF indexing notes, and a library index. It says the set is 15 PDFs. Named in public: off-grid electrical (generators, solar and batteries, wind, transfer switches, load math, inverter sizing), fuel storage, water, food storage, first aid, communications (HAM, GMRS, CB, low-power mesh), and sanitation. Eight more are not titled on the page, beyond wiring standards, battery chemistry, and solar-panel specs. The files were not opened.
A separate free PDF on the homepage covers load calculations, battery-sizing mistakes, multi-day fuel math, and transfer-switch safety. That file is not an Outage Stack page.
The kit page prints $9 once, instant delivery, updates included, Gumroad checkout, checked 3 Oct 2026. No affiliate tag on the link below.
Their about page names Matt Wyatt, utility grid engineer, Joplin, Missouri, twelve years on the grid. This charter says Joplin / Riverton area, twelve years. This directory lists him as Matt Wyatt, PE. The kit is not the catalog.
Nothing on the panel. Not a well pump, not a fridge, not a transfer switch.
The kit page names Llama 3.1 8B or Qwen2 7B, quantized. A homepage mock shows llama-3.1-8b-q4_k_m, an index called airgapped-knowledge-base, and a sample 48 V battery answer. That sample was not rerun here. Do not size a bank from it.
Setup as written: LM Studio, then AnythingLLM for the 15 PDFs, then disconnect. Version 1 steps are Windows. The page says the same models and PDFs can run on Mac or Linux, but it does not include those steps. License claims were not checked.
Minimum they publish: Windows 10 or 11, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA GPU with at least 6 GB VRAM (RTX 3060 or better), 30 GB free, network only for the first download. Recommended: 32 GB RAM, 12 GB-plus VRAM (RTX 4070 or better), 500 GB NVMe, and power you already own. A Faraday bag is recommended, not part of the file.
Their FAQ: after setup, with Wi-Fi off, the model still answers, because a disconnected machine cannot send the prompt. The homepage also says no telemetry. That is their design statement, not a test run here. Install still needs a network.
Battery, generator, or solar means the PC can be fed from those. The download is not a power source.
No continuous rating and no surge rating.
Skip it to buy a generator, a station, or transfer gear. Skip it if the PC misses their GPU floor. The homepage sounds easier than the kit page; use the kit page. Skip it if you need a sign-off on the medical, food, water, or radio PDFs. Skip it if you wanted chat instead of a measured load.
It depends. Use it if you already plan to power a computer in an outage and you want their library and Windows notes instead of a cloud chat that stops with the ISP. Not a nameplate. Not queued as a SKU. The chip is not Buy.
The charter allows the link because the topic is reference material during an outage. The sites stay separate.
