    What I love about watching Robert's videos is that he makes things accessible to everyone in a real-world environment . More to the point, though, it doesn't always work perfectly first time. I have always believed that you learn FAR more from a mistake than you ever will if it goes right, first time, every time.

    Please use more close up shots because us older people have a hard time seeing what you are doing

    I’ve always assumed this was possible. It makes me wanna mess around with them and see what happens if you do weird things with them.

    When removing spring clips ( C-clips and the like ) remove inside a bucket to contain the clip from flying away!

    Robert, I think you're great. I really enjoy your videos. As far as the larger fan motor not operating very well, just think about it backwards. If 12v will operate all the fans at, lets say 300 rpm, then you will get much more air movement out of the larger fan. Consequentially, it will also take more air movement, across the larger fans, to produce the same amount of voltage. In addition, producing and collapsing the magnetic field on thinner wire, produces higher voltages, than thicker wire. The larger fan may have thicker wire on it, say 30-36 awg, as opposed to the 40-50 awg on the smaller fans. Keep up the great work.

    Your "big beefy" fan looks to be an older Server fan,

    Love the video been watching your videos along time. Audio quality has came along way. Projects like this would be cool to have a second camera view but editing and such would be more hassle. Either way keep up the videos I'm real interested to see where graphene goes

    Add the proper circuit and you have a modified Bedini SSG for charging batteries, but you use one of those coils as the Exciter and collect from the remaining coils for charging. Easy enough to find with a quick Google search. There are Several CZcams videos to explain the process as well. Also listed in Patrick Kelley's Practical Guide to Free Energy Devices, about 1200 pages of various devices related to Free Energy. PDF file, free & easy to locate. Good way to usefully occupy some of that free time many have recently acquired.

    I love your enthusiasm for learning, now I know this is ions ago and you know you only need one or two diodes to get DC

    While you are taking apart the computer's PSU have a look at the circuit board. Many of them have bridge rectifiers built it. They have to be extracted and desoldered but they are there and free if you are using scrap. I also like to take the larger capacitors out if they are still in good condition. Switches, wires, wire harnesses and even the occasional coil can easily be repurposed from these power supplies. Just make sure the capacitors have been discharged before you mess with the boards.

    Massive collection..... for me, understatement of the year.

    I must ask; what wind generator that you made gave you the highest watt output with the least amount of wind ?
