I really like your shed and how you have the back of the walls open for access. Thank you for this video on the fan.

I try to use/make all of my electric loads DC, and this takes things to the next level... I need to think about how to use my solar directly after the battery is charged. But also allowing any load to use the DC directly will also reduce the battery usage, at least during the day.

Hi all, if you decide to try this project, I found out a CC/CV Buck-Boost board works a lot better. It can accept 12v/24v input, plus higher voltage panels such as 42v. Here is another charger system I built using this idea czcams.com/video/wG6ekxCY5e4/video.html Any questions please let me know! -Dave

Hi all, if you decide to try this project: I found out a CC/CV Buck/Boost board works a lot better than Boost-only. It can accept 12/24v input, high voltage panels and protects from many short circuit conditions. Here's another charger I made using this idea: czcams.com/video/wG6ekxCY5e4/video.html Any questions please let me know! -Dave

Thank you. You are now my "go to" page for all things 12v. I really wish that there was a way that I can help you raise your profile to gain more subscribers. One of the best channels IMHO.

Awesome bit of kitt my 9year old has been using these for 2years to use usb for a fan n charging his fone and usb lights for the night time❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Great video knowledge Amazon sells higher power MAH one's too😋😋😋😋😋😋

Awesome video. I am making my way through each one of your videos starting at your very first one. I am learning lots. Everything was going great until you introduced the LED's. You said you connected 7 or 8 in series. May I ask was it 7 or 8? I have a basic understanding of the concept of needing a current limiting resistor for LEDs and I have heard of Kirchhoffs 2nd law and i think I can understand the concept when the resistor is placed in series with the LED. Now what you are doing is next level for me. Is any of my next sentences correct? 1. Since you are doing D2S( direct to solar) and you have potentially 21v of open voltage from your panel and your blower is 12 v then you wanted to protect the blower from over current with a string of LED's connected in series to act like a current limiting resistor. ??? 2. You connected the LED string in parallel with the blower? The positive end of the LED strip to the outgoing end of the switch and the negative end of the LED strip to the negative portion of your 2.1 x 5.5 mm female jack (power source) ??? 3. Connecting the LED strip in parallel will reduce the wattage to the blower when the voltage is higher. ??? 4. Could you have used a Buck converter to reduce the voltage from eg 21v to 12 volts or if you got a 24v blower then could you have used a boost converter to increase the voltage from 21 to 24volts????

Utility companies and fossil fuel producers... did their best to keep everyone depended on them.. unfortunately we waited to long to push back and disrupt. The real damage is done.. we can make our lives more pleasant but we can't stop global warming now for at least another 100nto 300 years/// we will all be gone soon but the future generations will have it much worse then us...

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video keep on keeping on

I have a different solar charger power bank. The thing I noticed is that in low light conditions the little LED indicator light (indicating that it is charging) actually consumes more power then the tiny solar panel is producing and when left in this state for an extended period, the thing will drain the battery without anything plugged into it. I'd be curious if this unit has the same issue or if they figured out how to not try and charge the unit if the solar generated is too small. Or at least, leave the LED off so that it can get the tiny amount of trickle charge.

Really precise and neat installation. Good job with video and narration as well.

How can I get one of those oven

I believe this is the only scientific video on youtube of this kind. There's no other video like it. This shows every person even remotely interested, the exact power required for everyday tasks. Well done! Tremendous help to people who really need it the most. Looking forward to more measurements.

Yeppy yummy cooking videos off gridd love it Sir so does my 9year old Son🍲🍲🍲🍲🍜🍜

Good job awesome 👌 enjoyed watching this, look forward to more 🇦🇺 🪃

Omg you saved my life again

Very nice work! Looking forward to the next videos

Looks nice and clean

"They" have upgraded this old form factor pretty nicely. I'm skeptical that the panel generates enough power to actually charge the battery rather than just light the LED indicators. I don't believe this power bank has USB-C PD, which is why it wouldn't power your TS101 soldering iron.

Very cool! It would be very interesting to see how the oven would handle cooking something from frozen, like one of those stuffed chicken breasts. Since they're essentially a block of ice when you first put them in, it would be interesting to see if the oven could maintain the temperature. Powder coating would also be a pretty cool experiment, I guess I'm going to have to build one of my own once I get setup! :) Excellent video, and thank you for sharing it with us

I like that little oven 👍 Yesterday I used one of those Nuwave Induction Cook-top to cook eggs and hash browns, worked great using solar. It was during daylight hours so it didn't put a dent in my batteries. Next time I'll meter it.

Sweet, nice to see a product that lives up to it's advertised spec's

Very nice, and I would buy one except for one problem. I'm in Canada, and the price of them up here is 90 dollars! We get raked over the coals here pretty bad sometimes. A lot of companies charge a ton of extra money to ship to Canada, and our dollar is as weak as our Prime Minister..... HA

Question for you. I have a 200 ah 12 volt power queen plus. Can I buy other brands of batteries and tie them together in ? Same size batteries different manufacturer. Or do they all need to be the same ?

Thank you for putting out more videos. Hope your health is getting better as well. God keep and heal you in Jesus name.

I have no real use (except knowledge) of most of your videos, but the amount of information, the scientific approach and the passion you share is what keeps me watching. Great work !

Support

Pouch cells ! Be super careful if you ever take them apart. I have purchased several XZNY prismatic lifePO4 100 AH batteries in the past and always had good luck with build quality and life and they are low temp protected I always waited for sales or a coupon, but I think they are worth a little extra$

I got this same unit awhile back, appreciate this detailed tutorial!

I'd foam board the roof and walls.

This is where the world should be by now , solar power for everyone

I left a comment to The Canadian Prepper. His name is Nate. He has 1.3M subs . @canadianprepper I am Trying to get some increased traction on your video on making a hot plate to inspire you to do a build on this hot plate so that my husband can make it for me. Here is the comment to the Canadian Prepper : HI NATE my muscle bound friend. Fast forward 25 years post grid down when all your freeze dried food is gone. You are almost dead from old age. Your kids are still young and you have a beautiful garden. How are they going to preserve some of the food you are growing? Canning is critical but how are you going to do it? Your solar panels still work but your DC to AC inverter died long time ago and your batteries for your solar system will no longer hold a charge. You can't can over wood as the temperature is hard to regulate. You no longer have propane or other fuels for your camp stoves. No gasoline or diesel for your generator. The solution is a hot plate hooked directly to your solar panel. No solar controller, no batteries and no inverter. There is nothing out there like that till now. A guy just recently did a youtube video on it 3 months ago . czcams.com/video/Vb4bkJ0AHtA/video.html I think he has 3.7kviews on that video and 7.5k subscribers. He said he would do a video on how he built it if there was enough interest. I though you would be the man to create that interest. I would like to literally put a hot plate under his butt and encourage him to show us preppers how to build this hot plate. People who Can, ROCK!

would really love to see how you built this.

Nice video.

I used my solar power directly connected to my electric hot water heater. Since the heating coils are resistive loads, this works very well. I have emergency 12 volt led lightning throughout my home. I use my solar power to charge my Ecoflow Delta pros.

I looked into something to make ice. I wanted to run a freezer from an inverter direct off the panel. Unfortunately the start up load was too much to get it going.

Does this unit have an automatic shutoff (after 2 hours)? If so, can it be programmed not to?

What a Awesome Tool 🔧 👏

Dear BROTHER Dave. I don't know why you don't have more Thums Up. I am going to watch all of your Videos and press the Thumbs up 👍 Button. God bless 🙏

Thank you Brother. I can't Thank you enough, and Thank you for your Paryes. I will be watching for your Videos, I am very excited to own One of your awesome and amazing Stoves. Ps. Your Shrimp you cooked look Very Tasty, I am sure anything you will do will be Top Notch. Again Thank you Brother. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick. God Bless 🙏

Best channel around! Quick question, if i put a 60w ptc to a 100w solar panel (all in the 12v) , what can happens if the panel want to push 100w to the 60w ptc? Is there something to limit the wattage? Thanks 😊

Can i use the JAM54S30-420-HC-B-3 Solar panel to charge the Power station?

Just a quick question, 5mins 34secs and 9mins 10 secs, what is that charger thingy called and can you buy them or make them. Thanks for any help you can. Seeya Rob

I use 7 550w panels that output 50v open in series it gives me around 350v open and 310 when in use, i use a modded inverter that gets the solar voltage and creates ac directly from it, the minimun energy it generates in rain is about 350W in cloud covered sky its 600W of power when the sun shines i can get the total 3500W out of it 😊, it works like a on grid inverter but its completely off the grid

Very interested in how to build one. Hope you are able to make a video on this.

Just use a short peice o1/2 inch copper pipe instead of cable

Very creative
