powering multiple ras pis?

Post by zip accident »

I have, I think, three pis. a 1 (b?), a 3b and a 4 4GB, and I may buy more in the future, but which is by no means certain.

There was in the past a strong rumour of a thing called a "Beowulf cluster".

Is there a power supply that I could use to power all three of these (and more later) at once?

Could probably use a multicharger adapter such as this
or possibly a powered hub

not aware of any that are just chargers to several things

Any 5V PSU capable of delivering the combined current should work, shouldn't it?

I did think of recommending a guitar pedalboard PSU like this: Tone City Pedal Substation
But that's 9v, not 5v :(

Maybe something similar exists that does 5v?
