I've used a lot of standard Electronics project boxes, but found making them out of recycled electronics to be more satisfying overall. A quick video. Hope you enjoy. // Please don't be offended if comments are not replied to - I have limited computer time due to eye problems - thank you! //

Solar Generator BMS - Battery Management System

6 0 Electronics Free HD

OLDER VIDEO - MAY NEED TO TURN UP VOLUME // A close up look at a typical Lithium-Ion BMS (battery management system) board inside a solar generator or portable power bank unit. It's not very technical, more like an introduction for basic familiarity - which is helpful when repairing or salvaging solar generators and other Lithium-Ion powered devices.

Cooking with a Solar Generator - Slow Cooker

72 1 Off Grid Free

// A documented experiment to see if a small solar generator and solar array can actually cook food. I believe every household should have backup solar power, even if it is a small system. There are hard times ahead and prepping is smart. Hope you enjoy the video! I am not very active on comments because of eye problems impacting computer use, it is what it is. //

Postbag 1 - 12v noodles - USB heated cushion - cooking with a solar generator part 2

7 1 Survival Preparedness Free HD

A first attempt at a so-called "postbag" video. This turned into 2 videos in one because I decided to test the 12v appliance in the same video, just couldn't wait. So it's also "Cooking with a solar generator part 2". I was looking for a tiny 12v Crock Pot / Slow Cooker and I think I found it, sort of. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy. DD

Dishwasher suitable for smaller off grid systems

8 2 Off Grid Free HD

I like to collect small appliances for use on solar power when the grid is down. In this video I play around with a small countertop or tabletop dishwasher that can run on under 1kW. That is when the heating element is on, otherwise it uses very little power. It's able to heat its own water and uses only 1.3 gallon per wash. That's pretty frugal. This video is not intended to promote any brand or product. Hope you enjoy the video.

//Update - After this teardown I have installed it on my shed and it's actually not bad. Not too bright but it runs all night. I'm not promoting or selling anything. Please use the picture in the video to find it if you're interested (bought it on a major auction site). Hope you enjoy the video, thank you

Solar Graphene Jacket Concept

6 1 Off Grid Free HD

Random idea for a winter jacket powered by solar and graphene heating elements. I haven't done much research on this, but I think it's possible. I intend to experiment with this concept at a later date using off the shelf components.
