After a devastating wind storm last summer, we ran our fridge and chest freezer off an 800 watt Duracell inverter, rotating them every 2 hours. We ran the car about 14 hours a day for 3 days. Only went through 1/8 of a tank of gas - and lost NO food.
Thanks for the great content.
Thanks for sharing Lynn! I’m glad that worked for y’all.
I built a solar generator my self it’s a small one but works great and works great with a solar pannel all in a plastic ammo box 👍🌴😎🌴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Nice!
Same :) fun project!!
Is there a diagram online? How could someone replicate this project? :) thanks for the idea
@@chupacabra304 I don’t think so to many variables because of add ons .
@@patriotordinance9695 noted, thats a cool idea you got going still ! :)
We plan on using the candles/oil lamps in the winter, which will help with heat, and the flashlights/electrical lights in the summer when we can charge them easily with solar panels. Can’t afford a generator.
When I bought our camp trailer a few years ago, the idea was to also have a second space with fridge, stove, shower etc and keep it ready with provisions. The fridge went out but I found a barely used replacement at a great price. All these things require maintenance, $$ and your time, so plan accordingly.
I bought a dorm size fridge/freezer. I also bought a solar generator. I have crank radio/lights that's also solar. 5 of those. I'm not buying anything that uses batteries. I'm prepping for a longer outage. East Texas
Thats awesome 👏🏽
Consider adding some of those micro-wind turbines as well!
And I saw some sweet ideas of planting food crops beneath solar panels in hotter climates, the shade cools the plants, yet they still receive enough sunlight to grow
This way you could sort of triple your space usage
Thanks again for the video! I made a trashcan faraday cage, got me some rechargeable batteries and chargers all thanks to your videos. I also spent money on a 30 watt solar panel to recharge a small anker power bank and to recharge a few lights. Saving money to buy myself a little bigger power bank so I can run a fan or at the very least make some coffee if I lose power. I don’t function well without my coffee lol.
Thanks again! Look forward to learning more and have Been binge watching your videos 🙂🦋
Thank you! I’m glad the videos have been helpful!
Was thinking about the car battery option. Just wanted to throw out how it is very useful inside your home. For instance. Many, many years ago, my in-laws had a power outage right after we were married (early 2000s). They had a pellet stove with an electric feeder and with no power, no feeder. So, fil rigged up a car battery to the stove so they had power. They didn't have those kinds of converters back then. But it's something to think about.
2 videos in a week again. Nice.
You’re right about the fans! We use Makita tools and use their large battery job site fan at home…gale force wind! 😅
Yeah. The only thing I don’t like about the Milwaukee is the coverage area is a little small. However, places that do get air get a lot of it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks JR for all the great videos! I love seeing a young man with a good head his shoulders.
Greetings from Tennessee. While I agree that rechargeable batteries are a good choice, I can't recall you ever saying anything about solar rechargeable battery chargers. You might also think about comparing solar rechargeable LED lights for battery life and recharge times. Keep up the good work. ✌️
Thanks for watching Daniel!
Excellent info JR cheers from Australia. Thank you for what you're doing, we're learning alot
Quality content thanks JR🇺🇸👍🏻.
You’re welcome Ronald! Thanks for watching!
I have a couple of power banks with built-in solar panels. They'll take a long time to charge, but they're better than nothing. I do like your idea of charging power banks 1st with portable solar panels and then using the banks to charge devices. It makes more sense than, say, just charging a phone. You can use the power in the bank to charge more things.
A great video, very informative. Best Regards from Scotland!
I'm glad you made this video thanks jr
You’re welcome Terry! Thanks for watching!
The other thing about the solar generators is that you need the matched solar panels to go with them, no point if you have a big generator and only a 100W panel to power it, it will take a week to power it up 😞
Yeah, that is something that gets overlooked quite a bit. I’m still a little lower than I’d like to be in that area.
@@diypreppertv Same here, that's why I thought that I would mention it 🙂
A whole bunch of great ideas. Thanks JR.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great video, JR. Very informative, and you have given me some new ideas. Thanks. Take care, my friend.
Thank you Paul!
Great video! Do what you can with what you can afford. Test your methods before you actually need them so you know for sure they'll function and do what you need them to do. Thanks for the thought provoking video.
I have a number of DeWalt 20V tool batteries. They store a lot of energy in each. Amazon has converters to take the 18-20V of various tool batteries and convert it to 12V. This voltage can then be used by various automotive USB outlets and portable lights. USB is the future power supply for small devices.
Thanks for sharing!
Great advice! Thanks JR
Thank you.
Thank you!
Can you charge the solar generator with the gas generator? Maybe with a surge protector?
Yes
Left my fridge and freezer plugged into my Patriot solar generator overnight, then in the morning, started the gas generator and plugged the Patriot in.
It charged while still running the frig and freezer.
My Patriot is 6 years old now and still works great, but i do need to top off the charge twice a year if it doesn't get used.
Yes, you can charge a solar generator with a gas generator. It’s best to do it with an inverter generator since they produce “cleaner” power, but I’ve done it with my regular gas generator that has a built in surge protector. I don’t recommend doing that a lot, but in a pinch, it may be useful.
Nice video, thanks
You’re welcome!
Thank you, JR.
Battery bank that have solar panel built in
THKS
You’re welcome David! Thanks for watching!
HELLO GTSY
How do I reach out for a video idea/sponsorship?
