Char-Griller 980 Fire Bricks in a Masterbuilt 800 (mod)

DIY EV Range Extender
zhlédnutí 159KPřed 8 lety
This video demonstrates a DIY electric vehicle range extender on a 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV. 12V Lead-acid marine deep cycle batteries and a 1200W pure sine wave inverter are used to extend the driving range of the vehicle. This will allow a driver to charge the vehicle in a remote location (e.g. where no AC power or EV charger are available) to add miles of range. Approximately 2 miles of range...

DIY roller installation for your reel mower (Part 1 of 2)
zhlédnutí 13KPřed 8 lety
Here is a neat and cost effective way of putting a roller on your reel mower. Most residential reel mowers come with wheels. However, if you have a lawn with slopes reel mowers can scalp your lawn. The roller prevents scalping and provides for an even cut giving your lawn that golf course look. Originally I was planning on using a wooden rolling pin as I saw another DIYer use. But that solution...
PE gas pipe install and outdoor firepit DIY (Part 2 of 2)
zhlédnutí 102KPřed 8 lety
This is the long overdue part 2 video to my outdoor gas line installation project. In this video, I show the new upsized gas meter (630 CFH or 630,000 BTU/hr) that my gas company installed for me free of charge. I show the connections I made from the output of the new gas meter to the riser pipes. I show the fire pit and explain the connections. The fire pit was finished a couple of months afte...
2008 Ford Focus Broken spring on front axel bearing
zhlédnutí 474Před 8 lety
This video shows the broken spring on a seal on the front axel of a 2008 Ford Focus. This spring was rubbing against the axel shaft causing an annoying and loud noise. Watch the other video to hear the exact noise. Hope this helps someone because noise issues are notoriously difficult to diagnose. I recommend mounting a video camera under the car in the area of suspected noise to help isolate w...
2008 Ford Focus Front Axel Bad Bearing Noise
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 8 lety
This is a video of a Flip video camera mounted underneath my car in attempt to isolate where this strange noise was coming from. The noise would only occur when the car was cold in the morning and would go away as the car wad driven after about 5 min. I found a broken spring which is supposed to wrap around a rubber seal on the front CV Joint Axle Shaft which was broken and loose. I suspected t...
PE pipe gas line install (Part 1 of 2)
zhlédnutí 209KPřed 9 lety
First time gas line install. You can pick up the plastic gas pipe at a local plumbing supply store. So glad I installed with plastic and not metal pipe. Metal would have taken ages to install and so many more possibilites for leaks. Not to mention how do you drop a 120 foot metal pipe into the hole. Even with the plastic pipe the 15PSI for 15 minutes is no guarantee. Though I passed that easily...
It should be able to do that while driving.
Good system, I like it would make a lower 24kwh car a possibility. It is almost enough for all my drives. But got the rare 4-6 trips per year it risk of wont be enough. Had a friend buy an ev close to me and charge here..he needed a Tiny bit more to get home thought. 7 chargers on the way map, but ya Nightmare as busy, broken, broken, removed, broken, broken,busy (him with basically dry standing behind the other hoping for a charge 1h later yay! and he could get home. Need about 4-6kwh more😂. Hum 1-2 batterys and charge them with a small generator (takes time but no longer hesitate on range, i never want to experience what he did on my way to him😂)
I feel like this conversion is over the top a basic 200 to 500 watt setup would work just fine
Would you like to sell those bricks from the gravity 980
Hopefully you see this, I'm about to use a similar kit for my Deere Greensmower, do you have pictures or video of how you wired the battery charger for the power?
Nice job - How is it holding up? I will probably go for the thick 304 stainless Klotes Mods as my liner is all burnt through
That inverter, is very much obsolete. I would have found a way to connect the batteries with the main battery together.
Nice Conversion. I like to convert a gas to electric soon.
Made in America.
Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤
Hi i like the convertion. I have done a convertion similar but a smaller type mower 12" super colt. 24volt battery 250 watt motor works a treat . But well done
How/where did you exactly attach the wires from the inside battery charger that go to the controller? I’m taking about in the inside of the battery charger compartment.
Hi Paul. Thks 4 ur video. Do you recall the size length, width and thickness of the MB ceramic fiberboard panels(small and large) ? Regards jim
have you got the dimensions for the master build bricks plz ?
good way to disconnect the batteries from the charger is probably an electric relay , one rated at 250 amps or so
Can you show how you jimmy rigged the spring?
All I did was carefully take the thing apart, pop the spring out then put it back in. When I put it back in it is no longer recoiling but just providing lateral spring pressure for some resistance (perfect)
McLane used to make a 17 inch plug in electric reel mower. This looks much better!
Looks amazing🤩🤩
Very good video, I have a question,I am going to do a fire pit and a BBQ grill on my backyard and my question is, can the gas and electricity lines go together so as not to dig another ditch? And I will need two gas lines if I am going to make a fire pit and a BBQ grill or just need one gas pipe ? the fire fit and the BBQ will be separated from each other 25 feet
How much does inspector charge you for check it ?
Inspections are included in the permit that you get at the city
3x120Ah lead chemistry batteries would get you 4320watt hours but realistically if you want those batteries to have a life youve only got half of that…. How many extra miles would 2160watt hours of charge get you? What size battery pack is in your car?
Cool. You've given me the courage to try this. I was going to run 1" or 1 1/4". I have about the same length you did. My burner is only 150000btu. What do you think?
You probably loosing range carrying the weight of the batteries
What is latest tech you have developed now for range extender
Does the grass catcher work with this modification?
This same setup didn't work on a 500e
Thank you, i did this as well.
Why buy those batteries when you can get lithium from crashed cars.
Did you put the regulator inside the fire pit?
Im curious. What is the cold cranking amps and cranking amps rated at on one of those batteries? And how much does one single battery weigh?
Where are your losses going
Connect to solar panels
True. Also do not flight Legacy batteries fuel cells
Where is your ground connection
With his system RICO charge for my friend's truck F-150
Share or share like
How you do that there
Does the owner of the home pull the inspection and the permit on a job like this?
Of course, the homeowner can pull it for his own property.
Is This is unable to charge it while driving?
It may be interesting to put enough lithium cells in series to match the car’s battery voltage, then just connect them in parallel with it, so they’re always helping out, and there are no inverter and charger losses.
Agree, he's probably losing 20-30% with the sine converter then another 20-30% converting it back into DC while charging the car.
You’d basically have to match the size of the cars existing pack if you wanted to double the range…
@turtlezed in theory doubling the size of the battery Will more than double the distance as the draw on each cell would be half and they are more efficient at a lower draw. Obviously, you'd have to take the additional weight into consideration, but I believe it will still be more than double. Slightly maybe like 5% more
You should try a supercapacitor bank. Put a small solar panel on the roof of the car or have a pole mount attached to the car and have the solar panel track the sun. Solar panel charges the supercapacitors and when full can DC fast charge to the EV. Throughout the day the cycle would repeat.
5 batteries "2 miles per battery" ========= 80-90 miles? What am I missing here?
This would be much practical if you can do dc to dc charge a EV. A Li ion battery or a power bank would be much smaller and practical.
That not the way to connect 3 batteries ....Groung from first battery ...Positive from last battery .
Does that stay in the car full-time?
Dude, thanks so much for posting this. I have been looking at purchasing a used EV car. Carvana has some good deals but the range of each vehicle is almost exactly what I would use to get to and from work daily. Your project will solve my problem if I get stuck. Thanks so much for posting this.
How did this DIY hold up?
Great idea!
what type of Tee?
do you space the pipe? if how much spacing?
