This channel is dedicated to life off the grid. I experiment with inventions and replications of devices suitable for life off the grid. I am learning about how to live without being connected to grid power. Our goal is to soon start construction of an EarthShip. I am developing systems for lighting,heating, cooking, water heating, overall sustainably. I will be learning about greenhouse food production as well as water harvisting, filtering and management. Power generation experiments with wind, solar, crystal batterys, super caps, and mess with some overunity devices. All of the knowledge learned from these replications and experiments will be incorporated into my build of an earthship.

Это лучшая установка и изготовление защиты от солнца, которую я встретил в ютубе.
Браво, Мастер. Сделаю такой же навес над своей лодкой и буду наслаждаться прогулками по воде... Благодарю.
if the bimini fabric was some what stretchy you might be able to do with out cross pieces. nice design mate i see pedestal chairs mounted to the floor of these i wonder if a deck umbrella could be
Thank you for your video! Where to buy the floor and canopy?
How to add amps to Earth batteries and crystal cells! In 1861 telluric energy was discovered in the Alps. Today this technology is commonly called an earth battery, EB. Earth batteries work great at producing voltage. We can build an earth battery in series and create as many volts as desired. However, the amperage in an EB is very low. This is what has hindered the usefulness of the amazing earth battery. Here is how to build an earth battery. ua-cam.com/video/aCCK132OIGA/v-deo.html Adding amperage is quite simple and key to making real power. Power = Amps * Volts. We have to increase the current in amps to produce any real power. A simple law of physics shows that wiring in parallel will add the amps of the power sources. We need to introduce a source of high amps. A solar panel wired in parallel to the EB will give the circuit much needed amps. I built this and tested it several times. It works. This hybrid system can produce limitless green energy. The secret will be to have a special solar panel built. One that wires all the photovoltaic cells in parallel to maximize the amperage. One 4-inch square photovoltaic cell produces 3 amps. This super amp solar panel will make the system a powerhouse.
dude! make one that is six or seven cells in series like a car battery and see how many amps
Very cool setup. I have been thinking about getting one of these boats but I was worried about their durability. Now that I have seen your setup. I really want one and will likely set it up identical to yours. PERFECT!
Hi, the gold wire may not be enough might need to use a diode to stop the polarity reversal... I am working on it but keep experimenting because this can be figured out.
Hi friend, I think I figured out were the impedance/ resistance is produced and a fix for it. Right now for me it's a hypothesis yet I feel pretty confident that I got it just have to do the experiment. Here it is the problem is in the interconnected terminals because the wires being opposing metals cause a reactance in-between the batteries. Using a gold wire in-between will solve the issue. I will be using a gold soldering line that is used for gold repair but it works as a wire too. I have used it in my experiments before. Just thought I share this with you since you are so kind to share this video with me which I found very helpful. Thanks 😊
Nice but I don't like the music playing young fellow because I am trying to hear you speak. You'll understand when you get to be in your 60's ✌️
I feel like if you changed the copper into tungsten it would increase the power and longevity, being realistic tho you probably don't have the tools to cut it, so something like lead would work just as well, it's highly conductive and corrosion resistant
Two years later this motor is going strong ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite
Hi ,I have this boat but unfortunately it's been eaten by rats cud u pls lemme know how to patch it ,i m from goa india . Pls
bad audio hard to understand you
I am also intending to build a sand battery rocket stove. Good job.
Sick set up!!
very cool!
Take one of those furnace covers and put it behind the heater in the garage they make a great shield!
Great video. Would a 55lb thrust be better or a 45lbs?
Your crystal batteries are powerful enough to making motor run smoothly
It's not working ...
Do you have a volt and amp meter
It's not working doesn't tell me very much info at all. Did you follow the build process like described in the video. Did you use pure magnesium and clean copper. Did you heat the copper and squelch the copper tubes in the borax and water solution untill you got the salmon colored layer on the copper tubes. Did you use alum and distilled water as the electrolyte
@@1billyknorr Hi Billy..I totally went on a different direction,how to make crystal matrix of john hutchison with completely different minerals...finally after 2 years crazy research n chemistry understanding, I made his actual crystal cells...each one running a motor for almost a week...amperage is above 80 miliamp...those styles are not working because of missing part which is iron oxide electrolyte
Not working...
Add distilled water
@@abbaspourmoghadam3850 look up John Bedini. Crystal battery series. You need to use pure copper and 99.99 percent pure magnesium the salt needs to be alum. It's a pickling salt. The closer the two metals are together the better. The cells also lose the power when in series. Internal impedance goes up too high. They're better in parallel run things at low voltage
what is the weight of your battery that is the one that is about a third of an amp 1.5 volts.
tensiunea (V) se masoara in paralel cu sursa de energie si intensitate(A) in serie cu sursa de energie dar avand un consumator a carui I o cunosti (legea lui Ohm)
Great vídeo, thanks for sharing. If you could answer to one question, does this raft+motor worth it? Can you get a decent speed and battery life to spend one full day fishing?
Bravo!
How do you remove the ash?
Acurite does not recommend rechargeable batteries, which is most likely why yours never really worked. I like the idea of a solar panel.
I’ve seen baked cells work. They bake it to remove the water…
Ever let it set over a powerful magnet?
Did you do anything else with the battery experiment's or was a one time only ?
This is absolutely inspired canopy design. Well done man! I am going to steal this idea gladly.
How MANY maps? 5mph =? 10 mph?
SO, FOR THE info you gave about the base/bearing rocking chair, IT might be a,...thrust bearing, roller or needle
GOOD job! Would you GIVE us the MIT REFERENCE? VRRY INFORMATIVE ---IT SHOCKED ME THE NEWS ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER, SO SORRY FOR HER
Can you tell how MANY rom x your 12v????
It ALL depends of the Kind of pma motor/ recommend "wind blue" quality & chase the wind locación yo get the 160 rom=12 v
Intersting. I think LATER the rectificar SHOULD TAKE advantage of AC-Long cable DISTANCE to your house & then to Dc
Lose the music
How did you get the Bimini to attach?
How heavy is your engine some friends and I tried messing around with this idea but our engine was 27 pounds and would droop the backside of the raft
Passando pra prestigiar essa maravilha de bote obrigado por compartilhar com a gente
I wanna make a whole room with huge banks of these and hook ‘em up to my 48 volt inverter xD
Hey, the oar locks now a different.
Super helpful video.
Thanks, how long does the battery last?
Bubbling because of heat makes me think that you can use that for another source of electric also
Never mind I guess I should continue to watch the video
This is such a hype, never managed to build due to Mg being dangerous, theoretically, but inspired me into studying a lot of stuff about batteries. Oh, and please, share the song names!
Thank you sir I'll be stealing I some of your ideas
